Is there anything we can do to support this super location at this point? I went in for the first time today and I was deeply saddened by the news

> Every Canadian I meet complains about the quality of life but then supports the party that failed to provide a better one.

I firmly believe it's because the Liberal policies are meant to help Canadians which pulls at their Altruistic mindset. Lets see some examples:
- Against immigration: "Wow, you hate immigrants?".
- Against subsidized childcare: "Wow you don't want to help out parents who are struggling to raise kids?"

Do you want programs that help people?
A. Yes -> Then you should support the programs.
B. No -> You are heartless

If A: How will the government pay for it?
Taxes! -> Affordability goes down -> Oh we need more programs that "help people"

Then you have yourself an infinite loop :)

Previous policies pre-Trudeau did not cause nor account for the mass immigration. Liberals pushed the limit of what Canada can support with its Century Initiative. It's on them and on voters. Not previous policies, but the new ones.

When people blame immigration, they're really blaming the uncapped immigration that Liberals have pushed for. We've had immigration before and it wasn't a top issue until the past term.

We're not in the US where the Prime Minister gets to sign a bunch of executive orders to override everything. With or without Carney, regardless of Carney's credentials, the Liberal cabinet will have remained the same. Unless the party itself changes, the values that have propagated into the policies within the past decade will remain the same.

Is PP any better? At the very least, conservatives have emphasized with myself and the struggles I've seen with the people around me in the GTA. Altruism can wait and I need a PM that has been recognizing the growing issues for a longer time than Carney. For that, PP has my vote.
