In perhaps his most disappointing policy announcement thus far, Carney has indicated he will scrap the Liberal’s plan to increase the capital gains inclusion rate. This mildly progressive measure was directed squarely at the passive incomes of the wealthiest sliver of Canadians and would have served as a healthy revenue generator. Instead, it’s destined for the scrapheap.

    DON’T LET PERFECT BE THE ENEMY OF GOOD

    Vote red but keep the pressure on them, talk to your representatives and make your voices heard, because you know that the CPC won’t care what you say, they never did.

    First step is we elect a Liberal Government. Second step is we continue the fight and put pressure on them for proportional representation, de-americanizing our cloud infrastructures, gaining our independence and making our country stronger in the face of the world’s instability.

    We need to build, we need to make alliances, we need someone that has strong negotiation skills.

    Plus, as others have said, if you don’t have to vote Liberal because you’re in a place where the Conservatives have no chance, it’s ok to vote with your heart/morals etc.

      My riding is a conservative stronghold, but I’m still going to vote for my local Liberal candidate. As soon as Election Canada received my local Liberal candidate’s nomination application, I’m planning to scrape together some funds and donate to them.

      exactly, no one say Carney is gonna be perfect. actually no matter who win, there will ALWAYS be issue. because no single policy will be pleasing to everyone.
      but lets just say if PP win… we have PROBLEMS. not just issues. and at this point, Carney is the BEST option.
