It wasn't a bad place 9 years ago

as a first-time Canadian voter in the next election, I am very curious to hear if people here would recommend still voting for liberals, or instead recommend voting NDP, who has supported the liberals along all this time until Singh managed to get his pension. 

Leo was just joking because bobby said Canada was suffocating to live in, which is a bit of a stretch. We're incredibly privileged in Canada even with the corporate, food and housing squeeze going on. It's nothing as bad as what most of the world goes through daily. 

I don't know enough about Singh to fully defend him but I will say that many people's criticisms assume that he is in it for the money and personal gain/security. I have heard this so much: "Sellout Singh". My intuition tells me this is a result with not being able to trust and reckon with a person who is concerned and actively fighting for vulnerable Canadians. It's as simple as that, they can't handle someone different running the country because of fear he is some traitor in disguise. This is extraordinarily racist and basic. That's where these narratives are coming from, and I feel sorry for him. 

The reason I make this claim is solely because I can't find any evidence that indicates Jagmeet has acted greedy, selfish, or said anything in general about personal power. If there was an event where he said something regarding his retirement or anything suspicious I haven't been able to find one. But what I do immediately find is name calling that just seems to be blind hatred. It's used to keep liberals away from NDP by preying on their worst qualities/fears. 

If you want to roll back the clock on environmental protection, PP is your man. If you want to Axe the Tax and save money on your paycheck while cutting government services, vote PP. If you want to stick it to the libtards and gloat with glee as the woke moralists scramble to rationalize our behavior, vote PP. 

NDP is the opposite of all that. There is an NDP mayor of Toronto and Hamilton (Ontario). There is genuine support for them, it's not a hopeless vote (unlike the green party, who are unrealistic). 

Unfortunately the truth is the average Canadian is not quite involved much in politics and will revert to their baseline feelings where is becomes a political boxing match/theatrics as opposed to addressing the function of governance (just like the states!), i.e. "I like the way that guy talks and he's hilarious!!".

My previous comments were emotional and immature.
