Who did y'all vote for? I voted Carney because he's the only one I trust to stand up to Krasnov.

Carney, Baylis, Gould, Freeland for me.

[-] 60d@lemmy.ca 7 points 14 hours ago

I would have ranked Freeland higher too, except Krasnov already hates her, so I don't think she could turn this situationship around.

She has experience dealing with Trump successfully. She would probably be the best choice in that regard IMHO. She also has experience dealing with Russia. Putin and Trump are both afraid of her. She is also smart as hell.

Unfortunately, she does not have a good rep country wide, and too much baggage with the Trudeau government. And sadly, there is a large portion of people in Canada that could not vote for a woman, which is disgusting in this day and age. I think she would make a great leader, but feel she would have zero chance of winning a federal election.

Very sad. I agree. If I thought all we needed was to piss off Krasnov/Putin, I would have ranked her at the top. But we do have to consider keeping Lil pp out of the PM Chair also.

Her Ukraine first BS disqualifies her. That "experience" was a disgrace.

  1. Carney
  2. Gould
  3. Baylis

Didn't rank Freeland because I really dislike her

[-] 60d@lemmy.ca 2 points 15 hours ago

I ranked em the same, but put Freeland in 4. I didn't know you could leave people off the ballot and still have your vote counted!

[-] tleb@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 hours ago

Yeah, the instructions said you could rank as many or as few as you like. I'm not sure what the effect is of not ranking someone vs ranking them 4th, aside from their internal statistics

[-] 60d@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 hours ago

It's amazing what you learn when you actually read the instructions, lol!

[-] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

I didn’t register to vote before IT was too late but I would have voted for Carney too

[-] 60d@lemmy.ca 5 points 22 hours ago

Hopefully this is done in one round so we can get down to the business of actually doing something.

[-] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 1 points 16 hours ago

I hope so! I’m normally an NDP voter but I really feel Carney is who should be in charge for all of this

[-] tleb@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 hours ago

This is how I feel (and I don't really like Singh anyway). Gould is probably my favourite candidate of the Liberals, but I think Carney is what we need to get us through tough times, so I ranked Carney first.
