    I mean lets face it the only reason Carney won was because of what Trump said. that’s it. We Canadians are honestly pretty dumb when it comes to politics and we sure do love our sound bites. Remember PP had this thing in the bag until Trump opened his mouth and then suddenly we all said “oh yeah…yeah we don’t want that lets vote for the guy that kinda isn’t that” while the NDP “here’s Singh, sure he doesn’t have a single original thought in his head but…yeah it’s the best we can do”

    Like our choices were unoriginal man, nazi man, or none of the above man.

      There were plenty of people who were in the “Anyone but Pete” camp before Trump said his piece. If Pierre had said anything to denounce Trump’s statement, a good chunk of those who joined that camp probably would have stayed with the Conservatives just because they were tired of the Liberals. So maybe Pierre is a terrible person, but at least he’s willing to say what means, even if doing so loses him an election. And to be clear, what he means is not doing anything against Trump, America, our local far-right head cases, oh, and also run-of-the-mill conservative…businesses.

      I thought Singh was great, but didn’t stand a chance against white men.

      Carneys been a real disappointment, but I guess he’s not Bitcoin pete
