      Yank here.

      Trump is hoping conservatives win, so that he can ramp the tariffs up on you guys again, with less resistance. 😂

      Have fun with that.

        There are far more important things our government should focus on. Global warming, housing crisis, increase in crime.

        You call it hate, I call it change.

          Respectfully, I’m under the impression that the Conservative party has the least impactful policy for addressing climate change, particularly for carbon emissions.

          I’m also not a fan of their housing plan - I’m concerned that removing federal tax on all home purchases will benefit corporations that purchase single family homes, in comparison to only helping first-time home buyers (or even better imo, the NDP’s housing plans).

          And to address crime, I’ll admit I like their claim to target off-shore tax havens, but the Conservatives have also mentioned targeting pro-Palestinian protestors with jail time (and deportation for internationals) … not to mention, I believe a lot of crime stems from economic and social instability. They haven’t even released an economic platform, but I won’t be surprised if they cut social programs while blaming Trudeau and letting the rich benefit with tax breaks. How will that make Canada safer?

          To be fair, the Liberal’s economic platform disappointed me, but at least they released something. Regardless of what happens, I hope Canadians remember that we’re in this together, and that we need to start holding our politicians accountable. And more importantly, that change for change’s sake isn’t good enough - that we deserve better, not just different.
