Pierre would have won if Trump didn't tilt the scales, because we have had the second to last performance on a per capita basis in the OECD since 2015, arguably the Liberals have been a blight on Canada.

You can say you like Carney as an obviously smart guy, but the rest of the party is not something to be celebrated, Freeland is already back to not answering a single question to Vassy.

Yeah we dodged a bullet there. Shame it was at the expense of the Americans.

Though Carney is a conservative. His first act was gutting the carbon tax and the generational fairness capital gain taxes, his second act was promoting a housing minister that specifically says housing is an investment.

If the NDP wasn't co-opted by the Mazerati in a Rolex we may have had a shot at someone good, but alas.
