Carney not Poilievre is right person to lead Canada
I have had many on twitter, mostly rage farmers go on about how awful Carney is and how anyone voting Liberal is selfish and if care about future must vote for Poilievre. I believe this is false and on a personal note I would probably be better off personally if Poilievre were PM than Carney,… Continue reading Carney not Poilievre is right person to lead Canada
Alberta separatism
After the re-election of the Liberals, some have been pushing the idea Alberta needs to separate.

Mark Carney will be the next PM of Canada
Mark Carney was elected with an overwhelming majority of Liberal members coming in first in all 343 ridings and getting a whopping 85.6% of the vote. Not even Trudeau in 2013 and Poilievre in 2022 got that level of support and both considered landslides. So its clear membership is clearly united behind Carney. His speech… Continue reading Mark Carney will be the next PM of Canada
