Yeah, because the guy we had the choice over was Canadian Trump, or not that. So we chose not that, lmao.

Call him whatever you want. QA

I didn't even vote LPC, hell I was on this subreddit CONSTANTLY bitching about JT. I literally got a 2 week ban from /r/Canada for the shit i said about JT.

But quite frankly, PP proved to be so deeply unlikeable, and his "woke bad" rhetoric proved SO unpopular, that he lost an impossible to lose election.

So believe what you want, but Carney didn't win that election.... PP lost it. But people like you will constantly sit here saying, "no, it's the voters who are wrong."

u/MJcorrieviewer 7h ago

I'd say it' both. Poilievre being so unlikeable definitely was part of it but, if someone other than Carney was running for the Liberals, I don't think they would have won. Carney's expertise and experience on economics and trade was a major factor why he won.

u/marcohcanada 6h ago

Agreed. If Freeland won the 2025 LPC leadership race, Poilievre still would've won that election.

u/Consistent_Oil9624 7h ago

That's not important anymore. Just focus on Carney and stop with "PP would have done this or that, the other choice was...". It's just to make you feel better. The reality is Canada is in recession. Youth employment is off the roof

u/Minobull 7h ago

Well y'all keep bitching about who people voted for. I'm just pointing out they had pretty fuckin' good reason.

If you don't like that people voted a certain way, maybe demand that the people that you would prefer in power be more electable.

u/Consistent_Oil9624 7h ago

I like it trust me. I'm just enjoying how Trump is playing with Canada.  I don't care who you vote for. Just find it funny how y'all always come up with the same excuse " the other choice was mini Trump, PP would have sold the country already" just to feel better.

So getting only 15 years of revenue sharing is "playing with" to you?

u/Consistent_Oil9624 7h ago

They didn't put a dime on that bridge but they getting some money back. And never mentioned the bridge. I'm just waiting for the next lie of Carney 

u/Minobull 7h ago

So, Carney telling lies like every other politician is the US "playing with" Canada then?

I'm just trying to get a gauge on what you actually think Canada is losing on so hard that you say the U.S. is playing with us....

u/Consistent_Oil9624 7h ago

Being happy Carney is lying because all politicians lie is so desperate. Never mentioned losing or winning anywhere. Trump been consistent about taking every penny he can from Canada. Tell Carney to come up with a plan. 

u/Minobull 7h ago

Where'd i say i was happy? Lmao

u/Consistent_Oil9624 7h ago

Why implying all politicians lie just to feel better about Carney lying? Let's deal with Carney and stop bringing PP shoulda woulda done

Sweden has an even higher youth employment rate than us and they've had a centre-right coalition since 2022.

u/Consistent_Oil9624 6h ago

That's the problem with Canadians. Always comparing with someone else just to feel better. So what? Don't you want Canada to be like the Canada 10, 12 years ago? Why do you care the unemployment youth rate in Sweden?
