That's fair... I think it's general anti-Lib sentiment than anti-Carney.
I think the reality in the US right now necessitates a different course of action than we were on. We've been threatened and throttled. Poilievre was endorsed by Peterson, Carlson, Musk, and Jones. Carney was the only choice.

What an odd response, with some nasty insults to boot. It suggests a hit nerve.
Toronto frequently rejects Con candidates. The 'burbs, non-voters, & weak Lib candidates are what stuck us with Ford & we're all suffering because of it. I'm not so delicate as to deny our reality.

I'll never understand it.
Giving a vote to someone who loudly and clearly states that he hates you is madness.
Only thing I can figure is the fear of a mixed-race woman running the country was a scarier thought than having loved-ones hunted, thrown in vans, and deported.

The swing to Trump never made sense in the first place. He ran on deporting Latinos. He called them rapists and murderers. He has a long and sordid history as a racist.

I get that this will enrich Trump's buddies, but I'll never understand how he prioritizes that over leaving a better, safer, cleaner world for his grandkids.
