He's worse than that. He's actively hostile towards our future.
Bye bye JT….

Cons will likely have to throw more money at the foreign influence issue by having another inquiry. There are too many contradictions in the one just completed. CBC posted an interview and withdrew it almost immediately. Doesn’t mean there’s something there, but adds to the suspicion.

Don't believe him. This is THE carbon tax guy. Literally he wrote a book largely about this and so did his wife.
While Brookfield invested in pipelines in other countries under his direction.
Nothing about this guy can be taken for granted, and nothing he says can be trusted.
To avoid being called a liar (if he cares), it is easy to remove the consumer carbon tax and double the pre-consumer tax. He kept his promise, government collects even more money, no consumer facing line items showing how much they are getting screwed for zero environmental benefit.
Capital gains tax increase "delayed" until 2026. Effectively that means cancelled. Will any lib policies survive this election campaign? Print and spend for decade and then roll back all policies when it is impossible to hide that they hurt tens of millions to help hundreds?
EDIT:
Not only is it delayed, they spent a bunch of time revising it. There is no end to the waste. There is zero chance the lib policy in any form survives. They can't help themselves. More money spent on public sector workers and consultants is their ultimate victory.

The Liberal went on and on about how selfish the Conservatives are and that they don't care about people. Bro. Bro! They haven't been in power going on a decade now, just exactly how do you think they could accomplish that except NOT do their job as the official opposition?
And they were spot on about Carney and his money. The guy literally had a private-sector career in Goldman-Sachs, Brookfield, and the like looking for government grants for his companies, partners and friends. The guy literally built pipelines in other countries while blocking them in Canada. Puhleeeeeeze.
Edit: Here's Liz Truss, former PM of the UK, interviewed about Carney and his performance in the UK

Wtf is with that commentator? "If Carney is elected the liberal leader, he will eventually be the Prime Minister". What a grossly biased statement (with very little connection to reality).
Didn't watch yet, but isn't it accurate?
Leader of the political party is always the PM. So 'if' Carney is elected leader he would be asked to form government by the GG and thus become PM. Until the house sits and then he hopefully gets the no confidence book thrown at his head anyways.

Well, if Trudeau can be believed - that he'll actually resign - then yes, Carney would be PM until Juggo finally votes down the Liberals in parliament.
I guess so. That assumes that Trudy keeps his word for the first time in his life. He has said he was going to do it but there is no mechanism for libs to force him out so he could conceivably ride the train to the end. I forgot about the small window where a new lib will light huge fires.
FTFY
Hmmmm...well once a leader is elected then I don't think Justin can do anything but resign as PM. He was not voted in by the public as PM but only as an MP. He's only leader because the party rules says so, vis a vis internal Liberal election. I think it's out of his hands.
Maybe. Are they electing the next leader or the current leader? The rules say "the leader" so presumably current. There doesn't appear to be anything in the rules related to resignation or vacancy though. Afaik, JT has only said that he would vacate in the future but hasn't officially filed any paperwork to hold him to that.
"v. the first leadership contestant to receive more than 50% of the pointsallocated on any national count is selected as the Leader."
My dogs are having a tough time deciding who to vote for in the leadership race. I’m pushing them towards Ruby.
Whoever is elected will replace JT as current leader, that happens automatically afaik.
That makes sense but I expected that to be laid out in the official document.
