      3 years is a long time in politics. Given the 10 years of baggage, it will be interesting if the LPC ends up like the OLP. Wynne got a majority after taking over McGuinty’s minority and at the end of it they were decimated after 15 years of arrogance and just too much political baggage. Time will tell I guess.

      It’s amusing that people are pretending that the Liberals haven’t been in charge for over a decade. I’m starting to believe that most Canadians would be happy if the Conservatives and the NDP just shut things down and the Liberals just ruled Canada in perpetuity. If the Liberals just change their leader every 10 years, it’s like hitting a reset button and it’s a brand new party.

      Reddit is full of young people.

      Look at what happened with the last 10 years of Liberal government.

      If you were an old retired person, or a mid 40s person already established and owning a home…it was great. Your assets got massively appreciated and you never saw much happen to your employment. Sure. Traffic might have gotten worse everywhere but that was it.

      Young people watched summer jobs evaporate (international „“students““ took those). And they watched rents and home prices skyrocket faster than they could even hope to save for a downpayment.

      Some homes were appreciating more every year than most young people could make in an entire year.

      So you’ll have to forgive the pessimism of the young folks here looking at the prospect of 4 more years if Liberal government.

      > The first treats a majority as merely a means to a bigger end. The second has majority government as the destination.

      > The first path includes an urgency to take actions that, though they may be unpopular in the short-term, will further an agenda and deliver long-term benefits to the country. The second path is the opposite: A majority gives you leeway to put off decisions, especially unpopular ones.

      Totally agree. Time to do some possibly unpopular short-term things to benefit Canada/Canadians in the long-term. I have my doubts, but time will tell.

      I’ll judge the party by the current leader, not the previous one, so I’m giving Carney a chance here to avoid Trudeau’s mistakes.

      I guess we will see what happens. Immigration quietly increased? Guilbeault somehow involved with environment?

      Cannot wait till he sells the confiscated Canadian guns to azov in Ukraine! Sunny ways ahead

      No excuses now, bud.

      And don’t give me any of that Trump bullshit.

      It’s been over a year. You said judge you by the prices in the grocery store and failed.

      You blamed the opposition. You blamed Trump.

      Get the job done or get out of the fucking way.

      Actually I can see pros and cons.. he will inflate housing again with money printing, which they are already buying mortgage bonds at $30B a month.

      I will transfer my Canadian dollars to other currencies over the next few years.

      Helps me solidify my retirement plan in another country with lower cost of living and safer community.

      CONs is.. I have to deal with the current government which will only increase tax. Remember, Carney decides to increase carbon tax when other countries are suspending due to high oil price. Carney doesn’t care about you when he’s minority government. He definitely won’t care about you when he’s majority ..

      Liberals have destroyed our economy and now have a majority government. Canada is cooked and I feel bad for all the young people just getting started in life.

      What’s the point in having a democracy with voting when this can happen? Canadians voted for a minority and here we having politicians crossing and poaching. Nonsense.

      Disinformation spreaders out in full force today. I wonder how many of these negative comments are ultimately from sources outside Canada? Destabilizing western democracies is the name of the game, after all.

      I read „he has a majority. He must NOW waste it.“ I was like this is the canadian tradition indeed.

      Perfect, let’s start with getting back to 2014 in terms of food security? Food insecurity in Canada is a critical, rising crisis, with roughly 1 in 4 people (25%; over 10 million) living in insecure households in 2024–2025.
      In 2014, 7.4% of households in the participating Canadian provinces and territories (1.3 million households, or 3.2 million individuals) experienced food insecurity.

      If you thought all the crazy bills that go after civil liberties and workers rights (in the name of “incentives”) were a problem, wait till they pull of even worse legislation

      All of the Liberals support here in Canada has both of their elbows up for this majority. 

      Unfortunately in a year or two’s time their elbows are going to be up at the food bank, or up in a courtroom because they said something wrong online, or up while they reach for the cheapest no-name items on the shelf of a Loblaw store because they will have the monopoly.

      Mark my words, on the next election the Liberals are going to get decimated if this government keeps going in the direction that they are following with ridiculous bills, spending, announcements without action and more. 

      The trend of young people seeing what’s happening in their country and having to deal with it is one of the first reality hits when they leave high school and enter the real world. It’s these young voters who are already moving away from the liberal hive mind and who will replace the over 55 crowd very quickly at the voting booths. 

      I say that in the hopes of the liberal government doesn’t pull some bullshit to stop elections in the future. Right now our country has a 1980s Venezuela vibe and it scares the ever-loving crap out of me.
