I thought that's what let's go Brandon was too?
Not yet, we still have hope it won't happen.
Our system is a bit different. We elect a party and that party has a leader. The leader of the elected party is the Prime Minister. The leader can step down and the party stays in power and selects a new leader, who then becomes Prime Minister. Trudeau stepped down and his party selected Carney to replace him, so we have a new prime minister and maintain a centrist government. (Centrist to us, left wing to the US.)
We can also have elections at any time, either by choice of the party in power, or forced by the opposition parties if they have enough seats in the government. Our current party in power, The Liberals, don't have a majority, so they've been maintaining power by making deals with a left wing party (the NDP or New Democratic Party). Liberal + NDP is one seat or so from a majority right now, so they've been finding additional support from other parties. This has actually worked out pretty well, as it has forced the government to be a little more proactive and given the left a good amount of power. There is always the threat of losing power and having to make different parties happy.
If the NDP (or others) decide they don't like Carney, they can force an election and then we will have the chance of getting that Conservative government you were worried about. Most likely they will wait a bit to see how things are going before doing that because their worst fear is forcing an election and ending up in a worse position (a Conservative majority.) If you hear that Canada has a new Prime Minister named Poilievre in the next year, you'll know we just ran into the same shit you guys did.
because we want him to be better than Poilievre
Or at least seem better than Poilievre to the people who might vote conservative.
I think it's appropriate in this community, not where it was originally posted though.
Plus it's just funny.
I just learned about it, but it's called the "Newfoundland Curse" not the "Newfoundlander Curse" or the "Newfie Curse".
It's a curse of the land that some newfies get struck with, not a curse of the people that all are afflicted with.
A Newfie Curse would be "Lord tunderin' Jesus, the arse is gone out of 'er!"
Will shit, this would be quite the way to find out I'm cursed. I get irregular heartbeats all the time and half my ancestry is Newfie going way back...
Hey it's all good my dude. We all get what you're saying and I think you both ultimately agree that things are shit. The rest is just semantics!
Does anyone know what the MAGA crowd thinks of this? Do they even know that this is what is happening with all the money doge is "saving"? I mean obviously it's not just this, but in general all of these rich assholes just treating the government like their personal piggy bank?
Aww, I don't feel special anymore.
But how many layers does it take to get to Adolf Hitler?

The post is purely getting a high percentage of downvotes, so I thought your comment was explaining why.
Thanks for clarifying but now I'm still unsure why people don't like it lol.
