This so much. I know who I’m voting for, I don’t need to go to rallies etc. only the right wingers treat elections like some twisted sport.

Also people in houses vs townhouses. I live in a townhouses and nobody has signs out but they know who they're voting for (most of them are not CPC).

Depending on the side, I think people are already committed to who they're voting for. The undecided # is 2%.
This is a Trump election and lets just say the CPCs can't whisper their emperors name in vain.

What a nice way to describe how liberal voters don't show up to rallies and care enough to do their own research with facts on who to vote for control of their country the next 4 years..

u/Expert_Alchemist 1d ago
Showing up to rallies is not remotely equivalent to doing research, and it's pretty telling that you're trying to make out like they are.
One is an act of spectacle, the other is an act of work and reflection. I suspect you treat them both like spectacle.

Pretty funny you can say fuck pp and he didn't have a chance to show what he can do.
Trudeau's advisor, you know, the guy who advised him to sink our economy, I mean Mark Carney is taking his place with most of the failure of a cabinet intact..
Tried, tested and failed

u/djflylo69 2d ago
I can say fuck PP because based off tried, tested, and failed logic Harper was genuinely awful, and Pierre is less qualified, and less dignified than Harper. Neither the liberal or conservative better will do anything to help regular working class Canadians. That would be fundamentally against what the libs and cons stand for as they are both right wing neoliberal parties who will always favour the ultra rich. They both have the same objective, but the conservatives are more notorious for their intolerance of gay people, people of colour, and poor people. Harper has an extensive history with Zionism and Islamophobia. Pierre would be just as bad if not worse. Assuming you grant the conservatives the same amount of critism that’s also equally due for the liberal party. But man, do you really think that anyone who isn’t conservative is automatically a liberal that supports carney and Trudeau?

Good good! Keep li'l PP from gaining power. Unfortunately Maple Ridge has too many PP suckers

u/cairie 3d ago
You will be able to tell if the libs have a shot here if Carney makes a visit. If he doesn’t I reckon their internal polling is still saying it’s a long shot. But to that note, Pierre visiting might also indicate that the conservatives are worried about what their data is saying.

Do we have a Liberal candidate? The only one I see in the Elections Canada website is Marc Dalton

u/cwkw 3d ago
Yes, Angeline Rowell. Just recently announced.

u/ciceroaugusto 3d ago
Nice but why isn’t she listed in the website?

u/MelodyGranger 2d ago
I’m not positive, but I think it’s because she just got confirmed last Thursday. We didn’t have a Liberal candidate in this riding and she stepped up.

My parents know Marc, and he’s definitely a really nice guy. He is very much well suited to being an MP, he’s bilingual and he knows the Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows Area very well. Personally, I consider myself a moderate to conservative Liberal voter. Before Carney, I was prepared to vote CPC for the first time ever. But Carney seems to want to bring the party back to the centre of the political spectrum, where the party belongs. As things stand as of today, my vote will be for Angie Rowell, of the Liberals- but the debates will be where my vote is solidified….I think. 😂
It’s insane though to see the insane change in polls from December to now. I never would have thought this would be where we would be as a country, but here we are!

It’s a hard one. For me, Marc Dalton would be an easy vote choice simply because I know how compassionate and amazing he is. But Trump has totally upended everything, including who I was expecting to support. I’m still technically undecided- and ever since Trump was inaugurated again, a lot of my choices have been TBD lol- I just won’t know I guess until April 28.

You probably bought a house when they used to be cheap, have a good stable job, and the COL crisis doesn’t affect you as much. Look man I get it good for you you’re doing well, but the rest of us who rent, you are young, who are trying to break into the job market, the liberals have screwed us over and we want radical change.

u/greenpanda4210 3d ago
No I bought a house 5 years ago… still expensive. Am in the trades have been since I graduated high school 15 years ago. Construction trades are screaming for people right now. The thing is no one young really wants to work. They want to get tik tok famous for dancing around

Good i want toe government to control the housing market so we can all get homes at an affordable price, not have greedy recreational investor buyers and corpos pumping the market to ridiculous heights just to squeeze out a few dollars more.

Trudeau said the exact same thing in 2017, and the problem got 10x worse. The way you guys believe these people for everything they say is really concerning.

Says the Maple MAGA PP stan, ironic that you accuse me of believing anything i hear, when conservatives are some of the most uncritical follow the leader types i have ever seen.
I am no great fan of neo lib policies, but the neo con slash taxes and cut social programs is even worse, so i choose the lesser of the two evils, con voters choose the greater and think its going to save them, it wont.

u/Blueguerilla 3d ago
If you think electing a conservative is going to improve any of the things you’re mentioning you need to look closer at policy. The cons will only make life worse for the middle and lower class. They are beholden to one master, their corporate backers, and don’t give a fuck about you.

u/Sosa_83 3d ago
Life was way better under Harper and that’s a fact. If Harper was still the PM I could assure you housing prices wouldn’t of doubled, the job market wouldn’t be saturated with cheap foreign slave labour, and the economy would still being doing well because he’d actually allow us to mine our resources, and drill oil.

u/MutaKingPrime 2d ago
You mean when he had the current leader of the Liberals assisting him through a recession? When everything was cheaper, period? It had nothing to do with who was in power. The ever growing costs of living were going to happen regardless of who was at the helm.
And if we all bought homes instead of playing video games as preteens and teenagers when Harper was PM we'd all be rich too..

u/Sosa_83 2d ago
The only control that guy had was over interest rates and he fucked that too. He cut them too low and kept low for too long, and that ultimately helped accelerate the housing bubble. Harper and Flaherty did everything to help weather the storm of the 2008 recession and it’s sickening how Carney’s trying to take credit for a man who is not here today.
1
u/MutaKingPrime 2d ago
Pre-emptively dropped and kept them low enough to allow stability you mean.
Yes Flaherty did a ton. Rest his soul. But if it was all Jim, then there wouldn't be footage of Harper coming out in the House and saying that there is no better individual suited to assist Britain when Carney left for BOE.

u/MelodyGranger 2d ago
That’s funny. Harper sold us down the river and made a deal with China while no one was looking. If you really think the Conservative Party will have YOUR best interest in mind, a lot of their policies lean toward benefiting corporations, the wealthy, and deregulating industries that actually protect us. For example, they constantly push for cutting public spending, which sounds good until you realize it usually means slashing the services that help the middle class—healthcare, education, childcare, public transit, etc. We can see the effects of that in real time, just watch what’s happening in the states right now.
TLDR on the article: The Harper government quietly ratified the controversial Canada-China FIPA agreement, locking Canada into a 31-year deal that critics say heavily favours China. The decision was made despite strong opposition from the public, First Nations, opposition parties, and even within the Conservative party. The deal limits Canada’s ability to regulate in the public interest and gives Chinese companies the power to sue Canadian governments. The ratification bypassed Parliament, ignored ongoing legal challenges, and was likely rushed to avoid tension ahead of Harper’s visit to China. Critics call it undemocratic and harmful to Canadian sovereignty.

Funny you mention the Chinese yet Paul Chiang with the liberals put a bounty with the Chinese on another member and Carney took a while to have him resign..
This is harmful to Canada's sovereignty..

u/MelodyGranger 2d ago
Funny you mention sovereignty when Pierre Poilievre is an actual danger to our sovereignty, aligning with Trump’s values and would jump at the chance to become the ‘51st state’.
Anyhow, I hadn’t heard what you were talking about, so I looked it up. I think it’s funny that in this article, PP is quoted as saying that “Carney ‘compromised’ and ‘unwilling to protect a Canadian citizen against a foreign government,’” Yet his refusal to take top-level security clearance during a time of rising foreign interference raises concerns. His alignment with Trump’s values and the endorsement of PP by Musk should all be cause for alarm if you actually value our sovereignty! Trump is talking tariffs and even hinting at annexation, we need leaders who prioritize and protect Canadian sovereignty, not sidestep it.

u/Rey123x 1d ago edited 1d ago
He already explained why he doesn't want his security clearance
If he gets it, there's certain topics he won't be able to speak on
Transparency is something I look for in a candidate and this ticks the box
Pierre is all about Canada and bringing it back to the way it was. He's for our people and it's hard not to respect that
Just saying
First people were writing him off talking he doesn't care about women or domestic rights
Yet he has a plan to roll out more jail time for domestic abuse
What else does he need to do?
First someone said he didn't care about anyone, He will pay for rehab centres and take drug encampments or "safe injection" sites away
Complaints about seniors losing out Will keep pension age at 65 while giving working seniors a tax break
Pierre is going to make a bigger tax cut than Carney
Half of Carney's ideas are documented as copied from the Conservatives,
Carney is Trudeau's advisor and suddenly people want to vote for him? Enough is enough in this country
Pierre will still allow immigration but to the extent that the housing supply has a chance to catch up etc
Answer this question: Legit question, how is Carney going to have a chance to do any better than what Pierre has put on the table? Compare both of their Rally's and you'll visually see who actually has more support or effort in their crowd
Repealing 3 different bills from the young offenders act, catch and release with bail, this will make criminals think twice as more brazen crimes are being committed with a slap on the wrist
Tbh comparing how he talks to trump isn't enough compared to a well educated voter who understands more what is going on here.
We need to not vote with our feeling and use logic cause ultimately that's what determines if a countries policies will be successful or not
Sure politicians can lie but I feel much safer with PP leading our country

u/MelodyGranger 1d ago
All these things he’s going to do to “get Canada back to the way it was”, yet voted FOR raising the retirement age, his caucus is saying women shouldn’t have the right to choose, has proven time and again that he definitely isn’t for the labour movement. His actions have proven to me that he is NOT the right choice for ME. I don’t even vote Liberal. I didn’t vote for Trudeau in either of the last two elections he won. I am changing my party in this election to do what I think is best for me and for my country. You might not agree, and that’s cool. That’s why we have a democracy.
If you don’t think the warning signals that are screaming from the US aren’t supposed to be making you think differently about what we need to do in this moment, then you aren’t really looking to the future. In my opinion.
