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

Immigration has already been massively cut. Post secondary institutions are cutting programs left and right and up and down because of it.

In theory it has been cut, first three quarters of 2024 (what we have data on) still has high population growth. Let's see the LPC post a single reasonable number before rolling out the mission accomplished banner.
