A good piece that speaks to an ongoing reality that did not begin with Trump or Populist movements in other Western Democracies. It has been decades in the making and has largely disengaged young people from the political process. Without civics education and an erosion of confidence in civil institutions coupled with less than inspirational leadership we have a generation of new voters whose major news source is on social media, that are clueless in making critical judgements about candidates in general elections.
The “Moses” analogy is apt but if looked at without partizan blinders it clearly signals that Mark Carney is the right choice.
This past week Carney has shown real leadership and empathy for Canada and Canadians in his remarks about the coming trade war with the U.S. His remarks about how to deal with the existential threats to the auto industry were sound and economical viable and he did not hide the pain that would ensue. Polievre on the other hand spoke for 20 minutes on how to be tough with America, the need to lower taxes and enhance our oil and gas sectors without mentioning the auto industry once. That’s what a politician does to appeal to his base.
What we need now is a unifying voice, an intelligent voice, a critical thinker that will stand up for all Canadians. This is the fight for our country and our survival. Carney came from outside and is a capable Moses
Thank you for this. The villification of Jews who decide not to vote Conservative breaks my heart. Especially in times like these we should be working together not villifying fellow Jews. I have tried, unduccessfully, to bring people together. I respect each person's choice - that's what makes a democracy. That doesn't mean we can't still work together as a community to achieve goals to make our country a safer place to live.
