Rising Nationalism, Desire for Economic Sovereignty Propels Liberals to Five-Year High
[Ottawa – March 6, 2025] In a profound transformation of the political landscape, the Liberal Party has jumpstarted a moribund and dismal outcome at the beginning of the year to what would be a cle…
The conservatives are running ridiculously over the top ads to try to discredit Carney. They're scared.
Yeah, I don't think they understand that, by and large, most Canadians won't react to sensationalist attack ads the way Americans will. Well, Conservatives may eat it up, but outside of their base, a lot of people will be more bothered by the tone and brazenness of some of their messages, than by what they're claiming about Carney.
I think the important thing for Carney and the Liberals, is to not get into too much mud slinging. They have every right to attack, but they should focus on PP's refusal to get security clearance, and how someone like that can't be trusted to lead them in these times. They should bring up how PP wants to be more closely aligned with the USA, while the Liberals want to diversify their trade and relations, so that they're not as dependant on any one country. It's a simple strategy of not putting all of one's eggs in one basket. I think that's something a lot of Canadians would understand and support.
They should also bring up PP's record on how few bills (if any) he passed, and point out that PP, for all his talk, is a career politician, and that his economic record doesn't compare to Carney's. There was also a rumour that PP would pick Andrew Sheer as his Finance Minister. Andrew Sheer, the person who had dual citizenship (Canadian and US). It's fair to bring that up, considering the state of affairs between Canada and the USA.
It's how they roll.
It'd be interesting to see how Carney's proposed policies compare to the Conservatives.
