    As a member of the NDP, who voted specifically AGAINST PP as my MP, I knew exactly what I was doing, and so did all of my friends and neighbours.

    Anyone who didn’t see a red conservative wasn’t paying attention.

    • Appointed to Governor of BoE under a Conservative.
    • Appointed to Governor of BoC under a Conservative.
    • He wrote a book about markets and stakeholder capitalism.
    • His book said the job of the state is to clear hurdles.
    • He wrote that true prosperity is driven by wealth generation and global trade
    • He worked at Goldman Sachs.
    • He had an article written about him in 2021 that called him a “Bay Street Liberal”.
    • At the 2024 Convention, long before Trudeau resigned, he spoke against the financial policies of the Liberals and talked about wealth creation.
    • He worked at Brookfield.

    And so on, and so on.

    Still a thousand times better than the alternative.

      So in order to defeat Conservatives you voted for a Conservative? You forgot to mention that his dissertation is heavily based on Game Theory. Weird that the guy with a Doctorate in Game Theory framed an election as a zero sum game.

      Let’s not forget in 2018 when the Conservative’s told Paul Wells they were going to do everything possible to get rid of the carbon tax. Then ran over Trudeau for years and years until it finally worked. Even Brown was a victim to this when CTV published slander to get him out of the OPC leadership race. Then the CPC just DQ’d him from Leadership.

      But hey, you really stuck it to the guy you didn’t like by voting for his platform in a different suit.

        I’m sorry that saying the alternative was worse is too difficult to understand.
