Sure, we can agree on that depending on your definition of evil people. To target civilians indiscriminately is not a good thing, though. It's bad when the IDF does it and it's bad when Hamas does it. Resistance is not killing random people because of where they live, that's terrorism. Resistance is fighting your oppressors.

I very much doubt that Hamas hand picked their targets on Oct 7. I doubt that those who died, or were taken hostage, were all evil people hellbent on eradicating Palestinians. They died and were taken hostage simply because of where they were at the time.

He's still the leader of the opposition. This wasn't an election between parties, this was the liberals choosing a new leader. We'll see if the Liberals can hold off the Conservatives before elections are here.

Great example, exactly as expected. Life must be good up on that high horse. It's always the most sensitive snowflakes.

Have a great day anyway, dummy.

He's a political outsider. I'd love to hear about all of the political experience he has that don't make him an outsider POLITICALLY. I'll wait.

Mark Carney is 100% pro status quo, pro establishment, pro big business. We can agree on that without being so dramatic.

And if we can't avoid being dramatic, then I'll pose a dramatic question based on your response in a manner similar to your responses. If Mark Carney IS the system, then our problems go away if he's not elected, right? After all, you said he IS the system, not a part of it.

Thanks for your well rounded contribution. Yes, in the context it was written, he is a political outsider. No need to be so sensitive about it.

I'm of the opinion he will be more of the same while being quieter about things than Trudeau was, but people sort of want some financial literacy within government and Trudeau's Liberals were not that. Carney certainly wouldn't be my first choice but looking at the other options it's not rocket science to see why he was chosen.

.......the voters did when polled or asked. There's other reasons but that is a big one.

For question two, the rest of the Liberal party decided that.

Like, are you at all informed about Canadian politics at the moment or are you just shooting from the hip?

Edit: Carney is not a politician, btw. I mean, sure, now he is. But that's not his background. He is an outsider politically speaking.

This wasn't some wild uprising, though. Canadians vote politicians out, that's nothing new.

Trudeau and his Liberal party were seen as arrogant and out of touch. I don't know that Carney is any better in that regard given his ties to the big shitty businesses which are ruining our society, but he's certainly more financially literate than Trudeau was and people want that right now. He's certainly qualified for the job.

Russia can eat a dick, but Liberal governments are spending enough time eating their own faces. They need to earn back the trust of their populace if they want to beat back Russian influence because these conditions are what makes it so easy.
