fumbled on the gameplay, should of had a full fleshed story mode. shame.
its like they are going down the list of two dimensionally evil and destructive shit to do, and just checking them as they go.
at least they have the chance to rebuild a better more fleshed out platform, with a step by step plan like Carney laid out in plain speech for any who cared to actually listen and comprehend it. so people can understand how they want to achieve the claims they make for their potential policy.
and perhaps pick a better leader.
they have their work cut out for them, but one can hope.
followed by the “soft poisoning” by trump after the election, with trump calling carney a “so called liberal” who “likes him” more than any of the other candidates, especially the “conservative one” even though on election night he was rooting for pp.
hes simply attempting to create a new wedge among progressives against carney, and also give a new talking point for conservatives and separatists in canada who support pp, seeing as he wants to stay in leadership (without a seat no less, lol)
we’ll see how it all plays out, but i think carney just blew some maple wood smoke up trumps ass to soften the blow for a while, likely a part of the reason he praised carney for being “nice”. but i also believe trumps still going to attempt to financially crippled canada to weaken our bargaining power and potentially attempt to annex us. (good luck, lol)
be wary of the mind games, if theres one thing trump knows how to do, its to get under peoples skin amd divide people with crazy bullshit and wild statements.
the answer to that is a bit boring and less two dimensional. it took about a year for that to happen, from 2016 to early 2017 if memory serves. if you want to know what really happened, he tried, made a commitee, they took polls, surveys, townhalls, all the answers were conflicting, there was no consensus on a single system. he also didnt want to force his own prefered system that was popular with liberals (ranked ballots) as it would have looked like he was trying to service liberals, where as the others leaned towards proportional representation, which would have lead to things like fringe groups (think freedom convoy, proud boys, anti vaxxers, pro lifers, western and eastern seperatists, etc etc) having more sway and power over policy. imagine maple MAGA and western seperatists having more say now during all this 51st state bullshit…wouldnt be very fun to deal with.
Trudeau made a clear promise, explored it seriously, but ultimately abandoned it due to a mix of political risk, lack of public agreement on the replacement system, and competing national priorities. trump being a twat, and all that other fun stuff. Critics said he bailed when it no longer suited him; defenders say he chose caution over forcing a divisive change. Both are kinda right.
its a milktoast answer, but the truth usually is with canadian politics. occams razor and all that. i know pierre and the cons werent running on election reform either this time around. so at least he got that conversation going and began the study for a future government to reference down the line when it comes up again.
i hope our system continues to evolve to better suit canadians down the line. and educate us properly so we can all make informed decisions on policy rather than red or blue tribalism like the US. thats not who we are. and we should continue to refuse that way of thinking. its beneath us.
mainly immigration and housing, however, this is mostly conservative spin. they had a heavy hand in causing the whole crisis, by request to the federal government from con premiers (doug ford, pallister, etc) for immigrants specifically during covid. going so far as to fudge numbers of available and projected housing so they could get more money for immigrants from the fed, and use the immigrants to stagnate wages and drive up housing costs for their investment properties and builder buddies. then cons began spinning the fallout as a liberal ploy when people started getting angry about prices going up for everything.
the federal government does not have the power to force immigrants into a specific province, they can coerce them through incentives. which all of these “anti immigration” premiers, gleefully accepted.
he accomplished a lot during his decade. legalized pot, created a lot of jobs, pushed for equal rights, helped indigenous people through funding and infrastructure and social programs. its a long list. he mostly seemed to ignore the attacks from the cons and just kept his head down and focused on policy and political theater when he felt he had to.
he had a few controversies, but its nothing the cons havent done before and got away with in the past. people have short memories however, and they love american social media, and regular media, so it was a matter of time before a lot of young heads turned to the right. thankfully trump made such an ass out of himself and pierre took too many notes from him. so thats the reason he lost mainly. we didnt want kmart trump in power. and so a lot of those heads turned to the left again.
he was a good leader, for the most part. but no leader is without fault or controversy. i agree with his stances, but maybe not all of his methods. hes human.
“the billionaire is stealing billions from us!”
thats literally every billionaire who has ever existed, or ever will exist.
its mainly prior suggestion, followed by the brain filling in gaps of unknowns with that suggestion.
