The NDP proposed removing GST from child essential items and the Green party proposes increasing the personal income amount from $16,000 to $40,000. That would mean that you don't pay tax on the first $40,000.

Surely there's got to be a fair amount of undecided voters still, and hopefully a good showing by Pollievre in the debates will tip the scales. Why people would want to give Trudeau's advisor of 5 years and the same old liberal gang, cabinet ministers, who have driven a lot of businesses out of the country, a 4th straight term is beyond belief.
Agreed. Makes no sense to me either. However, I do think Poilievre's choice to adopt Trump style language on certain issues is hurting his campaign. For example, he's promising to make cuts to foreign aid just like Trump made cuts to USAID. This is not popular among Liberals. In addition, he's suggesting that Canada cut immigration and deport non-citizens who commit violent or hate crimes. While that sounds reasonable, it likely doesn't sit well with Liberals who hate Trump's immigration and deportation policies. Further, he has recently switched to a "Canada First" slogan, which sounds identical to Trumps "America First" ideology. Now I don't believe that Poilievre is an extreme nationalist like Trump. However, the similarities between the slogans "Canada First" and "America First" are likely concerning to Liberal voters. The best thing Poilievre could have done would have been to distance himself as far away from Trump as possible. Unfortunately, I don't think he's been successful in that so far and now it might be too late. But nobody's perfect. Regardless, I do find it bizarre that so many people actually think Carney is the better choice to stand up to Trump when it's obvious that he views the Liberals as weak. Another Liberal term would be to Trumps advantage and fuel his unjustified attacks on our country.

Carney might be a bigger crook than Trudeau and the east will still vote for him! Unreal let’s separate if this doesn’t work out! Kidding of course but so wacky

This is unlikely to amount to much since there's no evidence that anything illegal happened. As shady as it might seem, this sort of thing is a common practice for large asset managers.

There's been alot of hammering and darts being thrown at Carney in last couple days , but mainstream media, especially the evening news, are doing a good job of turning a blind eye and ignoring 95% of it.
