The results achieved by the policies of the liberal party of Canada have been disastrous in the past decade. I can’t imagine people voted for them again.
It’s counterintuitive.
What’s the reason people vote for those outcomes?
I know trump played a role, but it’s hard to believe that he reversed the outcome so drastically.
I think the conservatives in Canada don’t have strong leaders. You couldn’t have a better hand.
- ChromaticPanic 1y agoThe problem is conservative policy makes those same problems worse.
- aborsy 1y agoNo, the curves were good until the end of the last conservative government. They went down around 2014. Lower oil prices might have contributed, but only to an extent. Conservatives leadership in Canada is weak. PP is just not sufficiently smart and capable for this position, listening to some of his speeches.
- ZeroGravitas 1y agoI can believe Trump changed it this drastically. He was talking about annexing the country! His post on election day was full on syphillitic mad-king stuff, asking Canada to vote for him! I could go on, a long list of stuff that would have been considered implausible in a comic book satire only a few years ago.
- locallost 1y agoI don't follow Canadian politics, but it's pretty obvious it's Trump and aggressive rhetoric that followed. It was reported very quickly after that that the tide is beginning to turn.

Carney is escalating the rhetorics for political gain at cost to Canada, and is taking an antagonist position with respect to the Trump administration. It seems illogical that people vote for liberals in response to Trump’s remarks. That will worsen the situation. A more politically aligned government might better manage it.
- foxandmouse 1y agoYou clearly aren't Canadian, We are no fans of the elected liberal party but we have zero tolerance for the hate filled, anti-trans, anti-woke, anti-indigenous, anti-Palestinian bullshit spewed by the conservative leader. I could go on... So, while I wouldn't say I'm excited about the results I'll will - today at least - feel slightly more at ease.
- foxandmouse 1y agoIt's so interesting how few Americans are bothered by his talk of annexing allies like Canada or Greenland. Do people here think that the tariffs on Canada are about fentanyl? or Greenland is essential for "national security"?
- andy99 1y agoThey overfit to kicking Trudeau out, and were essentially successful, he left in complete humiliation. But then they didn't have much to fall back on. The liberals adopted much of the conservatives policies and / or there was no difference between them anyway. In some sense the conservatives were effective at changing the narrative, they just weren't rewarded for it with the opportunity to form government.
- foxandmouse 1y agoNational Sovereignty? I know a lot of Canadians who were lifelong liberals who were planning on voting conservative this election... until trump opened his mouth. I wanted change—but the choice was between someone who ignores the cost of living crisis and someone who would actively make everything worse. Poilievre couldn’t even pass a security clearance. I didn’t support all of Trudeau’s policies, but Carney isn’t Trudeau—and pretending they’re interchangeable is just lazy politics.
