@mayintoronto I also had never joined a political party, until Trudeau stepped down. As soon as the Liberal leadership race began, I joined the Liberal party so I could vote for Carney as party leader. I felt that was the closest I could get to influencing who would be the next PM of Canada in the upcoming election. I had recently read Value(s), and his perspective in the book also influenced my decision. I live in
#Poillievres riding and there was no way in hell that manthing was going to be a wise choice for our country. All said, after a year of
#Carney and the
#Liberals working through a mad mad world, and Carney's
#WEF speech in
#Davos, I can say that I feel good for joining the party. That said, my allegiance is to a bright future for Canada, so I would happily switch parties if another offered the right person for the times. That may be a fundamental difference between
#Canadians and
#Americans in that Americans tend to remain faithful to a single party and identify with that party at their own peril.
