I voted for him. But he is still a Lib and we still need something better.

This is the way. Put out the fire before you worry about the leaky faucet.
Friggin love this meme template. Why was that little boy so mad? What did he want to do that day instead of getting his pictures taken? I relate, little dude.
I think they are headshots for an acting resume. So he is upset about being a child celebrity
Some people joke about Carney's lack of a "celebrity charisma", or being "too boring".
Tells you all you need to know about why the US is going through its current "historic chapter".
Better to have an economist learn how to be a politician, than a politician learn to be an economist. Too many countries allow themselves and their parliaments devolve into complete fish markets where the person talking the loudest, or getting the cheapest "gotcha" moment, are deemed to be "awesome".
Give me boring, please. "interesting times" are only good to learn about in history books, not as they happen.
May you live in interesting times is a curse, not a blessing.
I was watching a video of an american that lives abroad saying he is trying to get a new nationality at the country he lives at, because he thinks the country, and other countries as well, may not want americans around for much longer. He said he's afraid things may escalate. I thought that was so crazy! how fast you can go from feeling safe and privileged to suddanly feeling like you are hated by everyone. 100 DAYS!
Looking at quite a few reactions from other countries, a lot of them seem to want to brain drain the hell out of the US.
Looking from outside I see it more like single people being afraid. I've seen some people wanting to come back because they are afraid. When you have a harvard grad taken from the street it's really hard to feel like investing in a career in the US. It's just unstable for outsiders (even if we know white people don't have to worry about it)
I mean, I'm down, I want to get off Mr. bones' Wild Ride.
Please brain drain me, I hate this country, it is a fascist shithole doomed to repeat over and over again with endless bumper crops of naive but extremely confident libertarians and conservatives who shout down any kind of adult nuanced conversation and flip randomly between being manipulated by their own racism that they loudly and violently deny and reinventing basic things very badly while refusing to learn anything from previous people who tried the same thing.
I'm partway through learning the language, but I moved my family over 2 years back when I felt which way the wind was blowing.
I'm less worried for myself, I can (and have) literally lived anywhere and will manage, but it feels so good to have them safe in what I consider the best country in the world right now.
Flying back feels like flying into a banana republic, or honestly China in the 10s.
I'm not gonna congratulate Canada on not completely shitting the bed. The Canadians were going to vote in a Trump-like conservative until Trump started banging on about Canada being the 51st state. If Trump kept his mouth shut, it would have been curtains for the Liberal party.
Canadians did not vote for the Liberals based on their record or policies, they voted to tell Trump to fuck off. The moment Trump is no longer a threat, the unity dies and everything swings back to the Conservatives, which isn't a good thing.
they voted to tell Trump to fuck off.
God, if only our voters did the same.
But no, let's talk about principles and genocide Joe, I'm sure that will help Gaza, that will really show them all!!!
Yeah, those guys are still pretty butthurt when you call them out. they just can't get over their righteous stupidity backfiring.
They thought they were smarter and more moral than everyone else.
Their arrogant ignorance led to them falling for a trick only slightly less old than "Hey, look over there!".

Yeah, as someone from the shit hole to the south, I was very relieved Canada didn't go in the populist, right wing, direction it was looking like. I am hoping the failure of the trump administration instigates a push back to the general trend right that has been going on in the west. My bigger, less likely hope, is that we can reflect on what happened and actually address the popularity of fascism.
I'm glad we can drop the fucking bravado and acknowledge this now. We need to in order to survive.

To be fair, we basically just elected a Biden-style neoliberal who is slightly to the right of Trudeau. As affordability continues to gradually decline, our Trump (Poilievre) or a similar guy will be even more empowered. We're basically a few years behind the USA right now and your right are actively trying to speed it up.
We also destroyed the other smaller parties. I feel like we're basically a two party system at this point.
The liberal party should pass the electoral reform they promised so more political parties can compete on who can beat conservatives the best.
Stopping the conservatives is the priority... right? The liberal party honors their promises... right?

I really like what Australia does for voting, their system is fascinating and makes me wonder how it would do in Canada
