Canadians in the bottom 50% income bracket should buckle up

The reality is that the next federal election will not save us, and regardless of what you think of my writing, you certainly know this deep down. Even a Carney reprieve is unlikely to stave off an even more rabid Conservative party in the next election after this one. But if we aren’t clear-eyed about what is happening, then we sure as hell cannot see where we’re going. And to have a banker, a CEO’s man in the office of Prime Minister, it is going to bring with it a world of challenges that near certainly will pave the road for someone worse than Poilievre.

    No, I’m arguing for not amplifying Conservative taking points. Campaign FOR your candidate, not against another non-Conservative candidate.

          Loreto is saying that there is no material difference between the LPC and the CPC. The conservatives absolutely say they are different.

          Ultimately though, here is what Loreto is actually saying:

          The only real decision, then, isn’t whether or not to support the Liberals, but how you can use your energy and limited time to make something better, build something more powerful, that can force the Carneys of the world to make better decisions.

          Bad faith, bad also kinda garbage, interpretation: “she’s saying don’t vote and that it doesn’t matter, she’s dampening the vote”.

          Good faith, useful, interpretation: “vote how you will, but know that if you want real change about real problems it will take more than just voting”.
