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.

I don't like boomers and how they're ruining this country. I fall under 18 to 29 category. If only half of eligible voters in this age pool shows up to vote we can't complain about rising rent prices, unaffordable housing, lack of job opportunities and the fact that the feds don't care about us. We didn't bother to show up to vote.

If you know someone in your life between 18 to 29 that's complaining about Canada all the time, make sure they show up to vote.

Smh I think it was the most important policy question the orangutan went nuts.

Holy shit guys, this is a boomer election. They are convinced that TRUMP is the main issue concerning Canada. And they fail to recognize all the shortcomings of the last 10 years.

The only thing that is going to make a difference of election day is the age group of people voting; and this should make all of us nervous.

If Germany and US's election is an indication - then if young people get out and vote - then Pierre has a strong chance to get a majority.

Lol Nanos poll was showing 11 less for LPC on April 3rd and then on April 4th it’s +6 seems super suspicious

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 !

I'm asking because it didn't seem to change much in Ontario's election. I know provincial elections are different from federal, and there was low turnout, but how many people actually tune into the debates and change their minds about who they're voting for? How many people who don't pay attention to politics actually watch and have their minds changed?

I'm just curious about this, cause i want to be optimistic but I'm also trying to be realistic about the CPC's chances

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

Absolutely worth the time to watch. She still wants to believe in ESG / Net Zero but she found herself unable to ignore the fact that ESG was being set up for particular companies (the so-called climate cartel) to profit from ramping up fear and coercing companies to comply with ESG policies.
