If Canadians favour Harris it means they have learnt nothing from the Trudeau years.
Did Trump mandate vaccines? Did he start any new wars? Isn’t he American? So why wouldn’t he put the US first? It would be nice to have a PM who put Canada first. Is Trudeau’s constant lying and gaslighting worse than Trump’s p***y grab remark? As Canadians we need to be far more vocal ooops I forgot now we can be jailed for speaking up. Take a look at our judges. Mostly corrupt liberals. Look at what the CPSO kangaroo courts are doing to ethical doctors. We are slowly being boiled in Trudeau’s soup pot.
Well said... I may have been the first to say it, way back in the spring, BEFORE Harris was anointed, her and Trudeau could have been twins, separated at birth, they speak the same utter nonsense at every turn. Americans would be wise to look north to us before casting a vote for Harris. In most prior elections we did not vote for a candidate because we wanted to have a beer with them, we voted for sane policy and sound government. Both the CPC in Canada and the Republicans in the USA are those parties at this time. Personally I believe what "liberals" are doing to the next generation of children is a far greater existential crisis to humanity than climate change will ever be.
Two deeply flawed candidates, yes. So rather than voting for a candidate, vote for a platform. Still flawed, but it's in writing and without the theatrics. Either way, one of the candidates will be installed as president. The real key is holding the entire government to account between election cycles. No one is going to be perfect but involved citizens who speak up continually are the answer to all the problems.
Because thats worked out so well in Canada in the past 3 years...Our system, nor the American system cares about engagement between elections anymore, At least in America they get a partial do over ever 2 years. The parties look out for themselves and their voter base nothing more. At this point when the Liberal voter base in eroding to sand, they still don't care!
To elaborate a little further on Gurri's comments, its a simple choice - vote for A) a bullshitting blowhard with an established reasonably successful track record of being President, love him or hate him and his style or B) an establishment, including a media establishment, that has bee openly lying to your face for four years - and voters have all the receipts to prove it. Its an unfortunate choice, but its an easy choice.
Methinks it is, to a large extent, a case of the lesser of two weevils as you've suggested or argued. Of gritting one's teeth and grimly choosing the "master of disaster" over the "empty pantsuit" -- worth a subscription just for that 👍😉🙂.
And quite agree with your "leaves me sputtering with rage and indignation" over the transgender issue. ICYMI, high profile gay Substacker Andrew Sullivan is apparently now willing to vote for Trump as a result:
"Rachel Levine Must Resign: A case study in politics and ideology overruling science. With children as victims."
Not sure if you know that here in BC we're having a provincial election -- today, in fact. Not sure yet how I will vote myself, but definitely leaning towards the Conservatives, largely because they have, like the federal branch, explicitly come out against the SOGI (sexual orientation and gender identity) claptrap in the school system. Hard to imagine a more unscientific system of personality classification that's only marginally better than Chinese fortune cookies, phrenology, and astrology. Or more of a quack medicine, at best, than is "gender affirming care" -- AKA, the sterilizing and castrating of autistic children. Nice to see Sullivan calling that an egregious "medical scandal". Which Harris, and Trudeau and our vaunted Statistics Canada, are parties to -- the lot should be tarred and feathered, and ridden out of town on rails.

I am indifferent to Trump, and Martin Gurri is right on the money on this one.

Trump is far from perfect but looking at the disaster that Biden/Harris has been it would be a no brainer for me. I’d vote for Trump!
