I never really hated on the guy, and I wanted him to win reelection. Other than his immigration policy I thought he was relatively fine, and a decent president. I miss having him he was the most generic president ever. Canadian liberals aren’t going shut up about Trump for at least 4 years and it’s getting really annoying. I wish DeSantis had just gotten the nomination we’d have a real conservative who’d actually impose good meaningful conservative policies. Anyone else remember the Doug Ford Trump comparisons lmao.

The Commie Broadcast Corporation Propaganda seem to always ask this worthless question. The reason and answer imo is simple or straightforward.OIL and Natural Resources.

Maybe this is a bit dramatic (and a bit of a rant), but I seriously can’t see a future in Canada if Pierre Poilievre doesn’t win. My partner and I are 25 & 27 — we both work very good jobs for our age. He works in a mine, I work in marketing and run a small side business for extra income. Despite all of that, we have been living pretty much paycheque to paycheque since we started working. Rent is insane, groceries are through the roof, taxes keep climbing, and life just feels impossible to afford. We’re both hard-working people who want to build a future — own a home, start a family — but in today’s Canada, that feels like a fantasy.

I don’t even feel safe here anymore. I live in Ottawa, and a few months ago I was walking downtown when a homeless man punched me in the face and knocked me to the ground completely unprovoked. And this isn’t a rare story anymore. I can count at least 5 needles laying around on a 10 minute walk downtown.

It’s so shocking to see how many people will still support the liberals after what our country has become, I have friends my age who will still vote for them! Do you never want to own a home? Never want to build a future?

I’m genuinely scared of what this country looks like if there isn’t a change in leadership, hard work doesn’t pay off, owning a home is out of reach, and the streets don’t feel safe.

I’m curious for those who feel the same way, what’s your plan if the Conservatives don’t win? hope for the best? Would you ever consider leaving?

I don't get this stance, why would you openly be cheering for making all our sources of news privatized and controlled by corporations? That just seems like a degradation of quality for normal citizens

The fact we have both in our country is legitimately a good thing, maybe you don't like CBC because you feel it's biased against your stances (I wouldn't agree but for sake of argument) there's nothing preventing you from tuning into one of the private options, why would you want to remove more options for news?

Private news is potentially an awful thing, at its worst its just corporations who are for profit pandering to the widest base they can to attract the most eyeballs for ad revenue and selling out a basket of bullshit we want to hear to keep us engaged

State funded has it's own issues too but atleast it's not beholden to shareholders

Some of the conservative wants just seem like destruction of our quality of life, don't watch, don't like, but cheering for its removal seems cooked

Serious question, no shade meant, everyone has political beliefs and they're entitled to them. I've voted liberal the past 3 elections. I own an apartment, am 30, have like 50k left on my mortgage, and have a good provincial union job that pays me like 70k a year, annual COLA raises tied to inflation, lots of vacation/holidays, defined benefits pension plan, good benefits, etc. Just background to my socioeconomic class/the lens that I'm seeing things through.

So why should I vote for Pollievre? I'm not seeing any substantive policy based arguments here. His housing plan is weak ('unleash the private sector', buddy isn't that we've been doing for like 3 decades? The growth rate in % terms in housing cost was the same during Trudeau's 9 years as it was during Harpers terms). He promises to both keep all social spending while cutting taxes massively (income tax cut, gst on homes cut, etc) AND balancing the budget. That's not possible. He constantly uses slogans, copies MAGA rhetoric, it's tiring.

I would honestly vote conservative if they gave me a good reason to do so, but the whole "everything is broken/gone down hill/gotten worse over the liberal lost decade" thing just isn't true for me. My life has gotten better over the 'liberal lost decade'. Everyone I know that I'm close to feel the same way. We own homes. We have good jobs, good benefits, etc. Having kids is tough sure, but doable. My sister has 3 and they're just fine.

I guess I'm just confused what the appeal of Pollievre is.

I recently turned 18 and have never voted before. I think I lean conservative in my political beliefs but I am young and still don’t know all the policies. I guess I just want someone to address how the conservative government would fix major issues like immigration, housing, healthcare, and the economy. I just ask you to answer my responses and be respectful, no need for any hostility.

As mentioned, likely voting conservative for the first time. Ive been following PP since his first viral youtube speech video back a couple years ago, back when the Trudeau hate was going strong. My worry is that I dont know enough about his platform, or his true intentions. Hes seemed to have revised some of his stances, definitely his messaging once the MAGA fallout came to fruition the last couple months. And so it brings doubt to what I think his ACTUAL intentions are. I have a couple hard lines, things that I believe are inherently part of being Canadian and proud to be. Healthcare for example, I know it sucks, I've lived through its failures. But none of those failures would push me towards privatization. I fear his, and the conservative view on healthcare could make healthcare less accessible and costly. His stance on cutting Federal programs, could greatly impact my line of work. Federally funded projects (mainly infrastructure) drive a huge part of the economy. Things like public transportation improvements, infrastructure improvements, have historically been the target of conservative funding cuts. Although I don't depend on them, when my father was still alive, he depended on services like ODSP, disability and social service programs. I've seen the importance of these programs, and it would be a huge disservice to my late father to support an agenda that would have significantly impacted his well being. If PP comes in as the same type of wrecking ball as trump towards the programs that make up our identity I would have a hard time supporting him. Please convince me Im misguided

So I opened r/canada, and sorted by new to keep up on news that hasn't been posted here yet, and I saw an article about Pierre defending an MP who denies residential schools, and the article title was total clickbait but the libs on that sub didn't even read it and immediately started calling Pierre "pro genocide" and a "bigot" but if you actually the article (like me) you discover that he never defended the MP and what the MP said was nowhere near shat the title might it to be. One liberal user with a brain cell (hard to believe) actually posted in the comment section that it was clickbait but it got swallowed by all the comments saying if you vote conservative you're pro genocide and a bigot. In conclusion the libs are fucking stupid.

West of Mississauga Ontario. Vibes are surprisingly good. Lots of young people locked for Consevatives. Hesitant about lawn signs because the moralistic lib fanatics are literally ripping them up/vandalizing property or targeting property. Pretty wild that in a 1st world country can’t have views that contrast the narratives of these buffoons.

Over 40-50% conservative. Would say the people locked liberal are boomer types.

Overall get out and vote, ignore polls ground work looks good. Election of our lives - if you’re able to volunteer you can have a good impact. Let’s do it !

Why aren't the scandals of the previous Liberal government more talked about?

There are quite a few that come to mind — SNC-Lavalin, the green slush fund, the ArriveCAN scandal, and Randy Boissonnault, just to name a few. I'm probably missing others.

The ArriveCAN one in particular feels almost blatant.

An app projected to cost approximately $80,000 balloons to an estimated $59.5 million dollars. A two-person IT staffing firm, GC Strategies, received $19.1 million. They weren’t even the actual software developers — they were just a staffing firm.

And this wasn’t a one-off. GC Strategies had been awarded 34 government contracts since 2015, worth a total of $59.8 million.

Not directly related to this, but worth noting: the finance minister, Chrystia Freeland, resigned hours before tabling the budget, after crushing the $40 billion deficit guardrail and pushing Canada’s fiscal deficit to $61.9 billion for 2023–2024.

Given Mark Carney’s financial background, you'd expect him to acknowledge the staggering mismanagement under the previous government, especially in the finance department. Instead, Chrystia Freeland was sworn in as Transport and Internal Trade Minister in Carney's cabinet.

It makes no sense why such an underperforming finance minister was given another critical cabinet role, especially by someone who should understand the scale of the financial debacle under her watch.

Liberals in this country. Especially 65+ are the country's most toxic and evil people.
