  • I’ve voted Liberal the last few elections, but the last one I was saying I wish Trudeau would step aside because he’s too vulnerable and not drawing out any voters. I was only voting against the Conservatives.

    I’m not looking forward to this election, because once again I don’t want to vote for any of the candidates. This might be my first NDP vote in a long time, but the NDP needs to make changes too and I don’t want to give them my support.

    But at the end of the day I truly feel Polievre will be Canada’s worst prime minister, he has all the characteristics I hate in a politician and none of the leadership skills I’d want, so I have to make a pick from two bad options.

    ETA: the strategy of “well they hate me, but I think they’ll hate the other guys more” is such an insult to Canadians. If you don’t in earnest think Canadians want you to lead them, you should not be a party leader.




  • I have two minds on this

    The decade I was too poor to see the dentist gave me a lot of anxiety. I didn’t have any real issues but any random pain was met with worries about cavities, and I had to get my wisdom teeth removed years after it would have been ideal. It’s great that poor people are finally being looked after.

    On the other hand, I hate that I pay a high marginal tax rate and I don’t qualify for this. I can afford to see a dentist, I just wish this program was for everyone.

    Same with pharmacare, I just want a full rollout for everyone as part of healthcare. My wife needs medicine that costs thousands a year and if she didn’t get benefits through work it would be over $10k out of pocket annually. Most families could not afford that.

    We’re fortunate and I acknowledge that, I just want a simpler system with better coverage.
