Also, jets are just plain old cool. Everyone likes a mini-airshow.

You guys need to think bigger. Don't think folk heroes, think French Revolution.

Yes, that would definitely have been the sequence of events.

Well that depends entirely on just how difficult that first step actually was, and how long your legs are.

Google what? Are you so famous that your opinions are easily googleable?

Seeing as that crisis was caused externally, what do you propose could have been done differently?

Ok, so pick one and answer the question.

You've missed my point a bit, and you've missed the boat on your opportunity to get any of those issues resolved during this election.

The very next day after the election is when you need to start pushing this. Get people off their asses and get people's opinions changed before an election is called. If you always wait until election time, you are going to be forever ignored.

That's why I said that elections are simply damage control time; the work has to already be done by the time and election is called. For this election, that work wasn't done, so we are left with the choice of Carney or Poillievre. And Carney is the least worst option.

And which domestic mess are you referring to?

Oh look, the "both sides are bad" crowd has moved north.

Elections are damage control time. It's too late to change the options for the leadership of the various political parties, so you pick the least bad option. After that, you start pushing for change, and get the party to nominate candidates that more closely align with your beliefs in time for the next election.

In the current election, the NDP are showing absolutely no signs of life, so the least worst option is Carney.

Also, you don't get to call yourself "counter culture" when you are in charge of the most powerful country on the planet.
