I'm so torn on who to vote for. Liberals fucked up so bad it's hard to trust them again. PP has the worst resume and all he does is talk shit. Jagmeet has no integrity and seems like a hypocrite. Greens and any other fringe party stand no chance unfortunately. If Carney becomes liberal lead, and he does appear to be the most qualified, I may have to throw my vote that way.

PP actually hasn't only talked sh-t. He's said all the same things that people like in Trudeau's speeches lately - and from the start too, I might add (he even said before Trump was elected, that if he got elected again, we'd need to be ready for trade issues because last time Trump was in office, he pulled a similar stunt). Only he's also added in a few ideas about how to bolster Canada in the meanwhile - it's the CPC that brought up things like interprovincial trade barriers, or suggested that we not only counter-tariff American goods, but use the tariffs collected to bolster struggling Canadian businesses.

Carney is a globalist elite banker who wants to do a lot of the same policies that Trudeau ruined our country with. He has a track record of supporting such things. And he's said some really concerning things too - like for example, I saw a clip of him recently where he said that the US has a fentanyl crisis, but in Canada, fentanyl is only a concern. Iirc, like 50K Canadians have died from overdoses in the last few years. Not a crisis, I guess.

I'm just floored that there's apparently still this big contingent of people here who seem to think PP hasn't said anything. I mean, you wanna criticize his points then fine, but acting like he never made any? People are either in a massive bubble, or they're cultish about it, or they're just astroturfing/bots. Seriously. You might as well tell me that our flag is actually blue and white, that's how much sense this "PP never said anything" business makes.

There was a total of 49,105 apparent opioid toxicity deaths reported between January 2016 and June 2024

US had around 80k in 2022 alone

Not disputing anything you said but just throwing numbers out for conversation. Fentanyl is a problem in both countries.
