LoveCanada

Indeeed, he already has. To his own country.

He also said he'd end the Ukraine war in his first week as president. He didnt do that. He also said he'd lower the cost of goods in the US. Didnt do that. He also said he'd get 90 trade deals in 90 days. Didnt do that. He also said he'd release the Epstein files. Didnt do that. Said he'd bring manufacturing back to America. Didnt do that. Said he'd stop America's wars. Didnt do that....

He's a rambling buffoon who spouts any shit he can think of as long as it gets him on the front page every day to stroke his pathetic ego.

So maybe you believed that he was going to annex Canada but anyone who has watched this moron for more than a month knows that he'll say anything to get attention, and almost all of it is lies and made up bullshit. The only 'strategy' that Carney needs to implement is to wait for him to self destruct and then deal with the hopefully more rational leader that succeeds him.

We all heard Donny Bonespurs tell the world he wanted to annex Canada as the 51st state. We watched as he tried to intimidate us with tariffs. Do you think we don’t get American news up here?

Of course. But it was Carney who played it up as an 'existential threat' to Canada. Its not. Donnie is a full of shit narcissist blowhard and he fails at everything he touches. But the Liberal strategy was to give Donnie's pathetic weazing as much oxygen as possible, keep people scared, make sure that our economic life depended on someone handling the 'threat' and of course, who better than an international banker. Up til Carney put the spotlight on Donnie Dumpster, most Canadians were focussing on stuff that actually affects their lives like grocery prices, inflation, high housing costs, the increase in crime, the increase in drug use and the flood of TFWs. And THOSE are the things that are still affecting our lives, not the tariffs. But we took the bait and voted for the 'tariff' guy and ignored the guy who's been talking about the more important issues the whole time.

I think its budgetary issues that are going to be his Achilles heel. Trudeau went crazy with cash and the last budget was what, 40 billion higher than estimated? The one that he planned to throw Freeland under the bus with? But Carney shows no sign of letting up. He doesnt even want to present a budget, most likely because he doesnt want to be held to account for it.

So everything's going to look rosy as he taxes and spends but without fail, the day of reckoning is coming and thats going to fall on young people who aren't going to be thrilled with the legacy of debt they'll be carrying.

One thing Poilievre doesnt do is change his tune because it might be unpopular. He has stated and I totally believe its the case, that one of the main reasons he lost his own riding was that he was honest about the need to cut many gov jobs. Thats a message that doesnt sit well when you live in Ottawa. So Carney gets in and a few weeks later his message is, we're going to need to cut a lot of government jobs. Lovely. And here we are. Poilievre didnt play games, he just said it like it is. And voters punished him for being honest. Weird.

We are at the beginning of ANOTHER LIberal term. We're still in the honeymoon period for Carney. Give him about a year and a half and we'll see where public sentiment sits. Because he's still a Liberal and despite a good start, he has a LOT of Liberal baggage surrounding him and methinks a leopard doesnt change its spots that quickly.

On the positive side, some of the worst of the worst got the royal punting - Trudeau gone, Freeland demoted, Blair gone, Charette gone, Mendecino gone. If Carney keeps up the house cleaning and ACTUALLY does some of the things he's been promising its going to be an uphill fight for Poilievre. But thats good for Canada.

and the country didn’t buy it, at al

You make it sound like Poilievre is Jagmeet Singh. Poilievre did lose the election, but not by much. The popular vote was less than 2% difference. And he GAINED 25 seats, the LIberals only gained 9 so percentage wise the Conservatives did a fantastic job of increasing their reach and constituency, just not enough to win the election. The loser in the election was the NDP who got decimated, but to pretend that "the country" thinks Poilievre is a loser is patently false.

He's going to bide his time and when voters see how far the Liberals will sink us into debt, how ridiculous their gun buyback program is, and the next inevitable Liberal scandal, he will emerge to campaign for the next election. Carney's doing a good job so far, but he's still working with the gaggle of bozos who sank Canada as far as its fallen in the last 15 years. There will be a time to make things right again.

It didn’t work well Canada-wide.

You mean when he lost the popular vote by less than 2% and gained 25 seats while the Liberals only gained 9? Yeah, obviously nobody liked him or the Conservatives, eh?
