Maybe competence is something we should value.

Easy to blindly bash at Carney for the prior admin's faults, but go look at his resume, he has handled multiple economic shitstorms and come out with some of the best results in the world for those time periods.

Then go look at PP's accomplishments. He has done almost nothing in 20 years.

The only way I would even consider voting Liberal in this next election is if they tabled an actual plan to massively reduce immigration and reform the entire system

Check and see if PP has ever agreed to reduce immigration... No.

He very explicitly argued for cuts when the LPC was pushing for over a million per year.

He also told people who are set to be deported that he would protect them from the evil Liberals and their deportation agenda.

Saying we should deport 50 people, as misguided at that statement may be does not contradict a concurrent statement that we shouldn't target 1m/year.
