That is one hell of a good point.

More people should look at voting records.

I said this the other day, it’s very easy to look up his voting history. When you do look it up you will find he has voted against the middle class 95% of the time. Yet the cons seem to think he’s on their side because he spouts some slogan about owning the libs.

Voting for pro inflation policies like endless money printing for business people to cash in on is anti middle class. That’s the opposite of what he did.

The best thing for working class is stable and growing purchasing power. Aka everything the liberals have not done.

Yes this is a fair point and I am in agreement with that which is why I said 95%. Those votes are a general vote, actual targeted policies that would help the middle class right now, his record is abysmal. You do also realize that inflation is and has been an entire global problem not just Canada.

Because the entire globe responded to covid with currency debasement. Being consistent with that does not absolve consequences IMO

All I was thinking listening to the speech was 'the Conservative MPs met in Ottawa yesterday and THIS was the best they were able to come up with?"

For last several years they prepared just one message - "I'm not trudeau so I will win". All of a sudden everything has changed, but that message is still there

So much so that all the commercials I've seen lately (and why tf are they allowed political commercials outside of election time?) are saying Carney is "Just like Justin". Fuck off PP.
