Regardless of where I sit, are you ok with Carney’s seeming facility for blatant duplicity? Examples noted above, which you both didn’t touch, instead offering opinions about me.
Despite what you think, I did hope the Liberals would win me back. Carney was about as far from the right person as the party could have gone. Of the field that was left in the race I had been hoping Karina Gould would have won.
And just stating an opinion that I didn't think it was ever in the cards for you to vote liberal wasn't an attack. I would just find it surprising that you'd even consider it, knowing that policy won't change that much."The world is full of idiots and I am but one of them."

"would you EVER have voted for carney?"
"I assume you wouldn't have voted for carney"
sure, the first one is a question, but the assumption is implied, rather than implicitly stated as I did in the second one.Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall0 -
HughFreakingDillon said:my vote for carney is a vote against PP. Plain and simple.
If I were voting against a party, that would virtually lock my vote in for the Conservatives to prevent the NDP from ever forming government federally.
But I choose instead to vote for the party that most closely aligns with my concerns and I look at 3 pillars: law & order, military and the economy. Any other policies are worthy of interest but those are my fundamental issues.
Over 30-some years of following our politics more often than not the Conservatives have a better track record on my big 3, especially law & order. But as I’ve said before I don’t belong to any political party and try to work to keep my vote beholden to no one.
I’ll admit that on this forum at least I don’t feel any need to criticize PP and the Conservatives since so many others are incredibly eager to do so, at which point I’ll point back to my first paragraph in this post."The world is full of idiots and I am but one of them."

So, would I have ever voted for Carney? Maybe, but he’s taken himself out of the running since his anointment (insert joke yet again about wondering how many underage Chinese citizens voted for Carney?). Like Paul Chiang he looks good on paper, but when he’s observed over time he’s something else."The world is full of idiots and I am but one of them."

My own voting experience is that my representation in government doesn’t align with my own vote. But by voting FOR something as opposed to voting to counter others votes at the end I can live with myself and whatever the result may be."The world is full of idiots and I am but one of them."

that still doesn't make sense. why would I vote for someone who I thought could be worse just to negate someone else's vote? I'm voting carney cuz I can't vote for PP. And I won't vote Singh.
if I thought carney was "bad" I either would vote Green or not at all.Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall0 -

You go vote for the guy who has the paper thin resume with little accomplishments to his name.

It doesn't really matter. The odds of either party making anything better is slim to one. Not sure everyone gets so behind politicians. Most of them just make things worse.

He’s trying to walk that line of acting like trump but trying to act like he’d stand up to him. Carney’s already shown me his big middle finger to trump, and I fucking loved it.Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall0 -
