Thank God for Carney and the New Democrats he will have to work with. They are 100% behind Palestine and the Liberals better be too. There are 335,000 people who identify as Jewish in Canada and 1.2 million Muslims, so who are you going to side with. Zionists or truth talkers

Hopefully Carney can light a fire under the caucus. They have been under performing for the past decade. It is reassuring to have an adult in charge.

Something that gives me hope is that the Liberals will be a minority government probably, and that the NDP is going to get a new leader. Carney has the experience and brains, but is firmly neoliberal, and the NDP could be a strong counter-balance, especially if they get a strong leader and if Carney decides to make an agreement with the NDP to have a majority government.

Great post, well done. Trump wants "deals" but agreements are based on trust and you cannot trust a liar!

Time has come for Canada to be less polite than usual and stand its ground.

I am counting on Carney to set a renewed standard of dignity, intelligence and aplomb that is resolute and gets away from the dilettantism of Justin and PP... and the gutter politics of Trump and too many others. Politics in Fortress North America is very low in the polls and must gain the respect of the public it is supposed to serve. Democratic reform is mandatory on both sides of the border, and essential for the rebuilding of the West.

Not allowing the Green Party to participate in the debates was a CHEAP SHOT!!! We are all in favour of 'democracy' when it suits us...

This is just why we have to have Proportionate Representation The present system keeps smaller parties on the margins unable to grow.
