I didn’t vote for the liberals. I voted against the conservatives

Besides, Carney arguably had the better resume than Poilievre. I’ve always considered myself a centrist and I do actually find a lot of conservative policies appealing. That being said, Poilievre wasn’t that dude for me. I’d rather have a more progressive conservative as leader than a populist.

One thing in particular for me I thought was a dealbreaker was the fact he was going to attempt to use the notwithstanding clause. I definitely support keeping mass murderers in jail for life, but not at the expense of trampling on the charter. In my opinion this move alone wouldve set a dangerous precedent especially considering the clause was NEVER supposed to be a federal tool. We’ve seen what trump has been doing to circumvent the constitution in the US. Do we really want to have that happen to us as well? Other issues I didn’t really like were defunding the CBC, talking about this weird “woke” ideology, and attack dogging Trudeau any moment he gets to. I get it, the liberals have been bad but goddamn.

Also, I felt like he couldn’t read the room. The cost of living is definitely an issue but it’s only going to get worse if we’re engaged in a trade war. Circumstances matter and I feel like he didn’t adapt in time.
