Yeah, the instructions said you could rank as many or as few as you like. I'm not sure what the effect is of not ranking someone vs ranking them 4th, aside from their internal statistics

This is how I feel (and I don't really like Singh anyway). Gould is probably my favourite candidate of the Liberals, but I think Carney is what we need to get us through tough times, so I ranked Carney first.
- Carney
- Gould
- Baylis
Didn't rank Freeland because I really dislike her
Party leadership debates are always like this. However, I don't think it demonstrated how well any of these candidates would do versus PP.
I thought it wasn't adversarial enough to actually learn anything about any of them. If they went at each other more, we'd see how they'd perform against PP.
My personal highlight was Carney mentioning a portable health record. No details on the implementation, but it's nice to hear a politician talk about that.
And you think that allocation was unrelated to Trump?
Rollback all concessions we made.
You can check the source to see. Yes, NDP have lost a lot and BQ have lost a little, but the CPC vote is also going down now.
This is even more wishy-washy than Trudeau's electoral reform promises, so we can safely assume this will also go nowhere.
I'm also sick of hearing about UBI that is income-adjusted, because then it's just welfare, which is a different concept altogether.
On one hand it's pathetic that it took him this long to realize (or he's lying to everyone), but it's still better than my premier (Danielle Smith) who is still licking Trump's boots despite the existential threat to Canada and especially Alberta. It would be a massive upgrade to see her admitting something like this :/
I don't consider $1.3B in spending on border security for a 30 day pause as a victory here. After 30 days, what's the next thing that Trump is going to manipulate our country into doing? This is a test of our sovereignty and we are losing.
She specifically writes that it's no different between the Liberals and Conservatives, and goes further to say Carney would pave the road for someone worse than PP. That's just straight up delusional.
