Dear everyone happily dunking on PM Carney for <insert your problem here>,
A reminder that *perfect* was not a candidate in the last election. The two real choices in that election were between Carney, a reasonable human being, and Pierre Poilievre, a self-serving, perpetually taxpayer funded, power hungry, sycophant.
Not happy with Carney? Fine. But at least be honest enough to realize he's a better choice than what the Conservatives offered: wanna-be cult leader Diet Trump.
The LPC targeted the NDP, who had been allies. The goal being to gain a majority no matter what.
They failed in that, increased the UCP's percentage.
Now they have formed a coalition with the UCP.
You got your leader. And Trump too.
@Amgine To my memory, 'twas the NDP took that swing by melodramatically tearing up the supply agreement. After they had successfully pushed the Liberals into doing some good, like the dental plan. The NDP smelled the blood in the water of a weakening Trudeau and sought to take advantage of that, hoping non-right voters would switch from Liberal to NDP, giving them more power under a Conservative minority.
That's what failed.
You think a party which had still not repaid the previous campaign debt would do anything to bring it early?
And the advertising buys confirm my take on the story. The LPC targeted NDP ridings.
They got some NDP seats.
CPC got more of 'em. Including mine. (I voted green, as usual.)
@Amgine They made that choice, debt or no debt. They DID take action to bring about an election early. The NDP decided to end their agreement early, either to secure more seats or to appear to the public that the NDP was going to do "the right thing", even if it was not in their own best interest.
The LPC targeted NDP ridings because going after safe CPC ridings is a waste of money. People in my neighbourhood would vote for a blue-painted rock running on a CPC banner. Fighting that is folly.
@Amgine Ya, no shit, thanks.
The point was "targeting NDP ridings" really means targeting winnable ridings. Progressive or centrist candidates are not going to win votes from the frothing at the mouth cultists in safe CPC ridings. Not spending money in those ridings is a good election strategy.
