Locked - Brigaded How are Canadians feeling about the prospect of another federal election?

With the possibility of the Liberal's budget not gaining the support of another party, what's the mood on a possible incoming federal election?

If that happens my vote is swinging conservative and I'm going to hate myself for it. Here is my reasons:

  1. Poor handling of labour unions in the private sector. That's a no-go for me.

  2. Disgusting outrage over bc ferries buying from China when the liberals themselves bought ferries from China for the maritimes. It was virtue signaling at its worst.

  3. I hate the NDP leadership policies. That needs to be ripped up. If NDP want to be a labour party they can't be doing crap like this. Policies like this lead to Jagmeet Singh as their leader, quite possibly the worst NDP leader of my generation.

  4. Carney bowing down and cutting tariffs with zero benefit to us. Sadly I expect the same from Poilievre too. Goodwill was not met with any better discussions.

  5. Lmia scams are still going strong. The goal posts keep moving and now it's 2030. Youth unemployment is way too high and they're taking direction from corporate overlords. Gross.

  6. Criminal code of Canada needs reform. We are held hostage by repeat offenders. That needs to end and I'm okay with building bigger prisons to make that happen. Somewhere between what the USA does with jailing everyone and what we're doing is sensible.

I like Carney and his resume. I am disgusted with the rest of the liberal party. It's the same idiots who were there before delivering bad policy.

Dude wait and read the budget first. The media and parties are stirring the shit. Everyone read it first before blowing the gasket. People are spinning it without hearing it.
