I thought maybe I was a fan of the Liberals. I have voted for them in the past. Then came Mark Carney. I don&#39;t know why, somehow I thought he might do good things for us. But I don&#39;t feel the Liberals have done much good for Canada since the election a year ago in March 2025. I certainly don&#39;t feel like they&#39;ve stood up for Canada when it comes to the U.S. As I get older, I think I need a party that is more left-leaning, and more willing to stand up for Canadians on the world stage. #CanPoli

Today we're seeing in the news headlines like this: "Canadian PM Mark Carney says former prince Andrew should be removed from royal line of succession" I've never been a fan of the British Crown in Canada. Ancient relic from times long ago, and in 2026 it should have absolutely nothing to do with us. Sure, learn about history, but we can stand on our own two feet. What Mark Carney thinks about "former prince Andrew" should be irrelevant. I'd rather hear about what Carney and the Liberals are going to do to oppose wars in the middle east, or arresting "leaders" who commit war crimes, or how Canada will protect our sovereignty from dictators who attack other countries.

@charette it will be an interesting moment when we have some political actors who will say "neoliberalism has failed...capital takes too much, leaves too little for people. This is the end of the line for neoliberalism - we are not going further. Here is what we will do instead, and why we don't need capital"
