Why vote for the Liberals in Canada?

Because we don't get a vote to undo the last 10 years. We have to take the set of conditions as they are and look forward. Because Mark Carney is demonstrating an understanding of current events that has been absent in Poilievre. Because the Liberals are choosing talent for their nominations while the Conservatives are choosing party loyalty over talent. Because Melanie Joly has been, in a word, magnificent since this started. Because Liberals have a connection to Europe and a global awareness that is largely absent in the Conservatives. Because the idiotic 10% of Canadians who want to join the States reside in the Conservative party where they make up a loud, dangerous, large minority. Because I don't want to live under a dictator. And because Carney may just lead Canada to shake off its learned helplessness vis a vis the United States.

Surviving the collapse of the American century is going to require intelligence and experience. Both of which, Poilievre lacks. (Sorry, proof has met pudding. The guy just isn't that smart.) As Canadians, we can vote in rage to punish the Liberals for Trudeau era policies. But we just watched/are watching that scenario play out in the States. Once I identify a shit, I tend not to step in it.
