Can a NEW CEO change a company's direction? Yes. (Apple,Ford,Starbucks, Lego etc.) Just like Mark Carney can change the government and liberal direction for the better. #cdnpolitics #Cndpoli #NewCeo

The obvious conclusion: Trump's inability to judge POSITIVE talent, those with abilities that fit the job perfectly. Trump sadly excels at picking total losers for jobs, those with no ability, training or experience, just a willingness to LOVE THE BOSS completely. Is this the correct boss? NO WAY.

Four members of my household voted Liberal. My wife and I did two weeks ago, and our two university-attending daughters voted today. For context, I am a centrist and voted for Harper in the past. Our daughters typically vote NDP. #ElbowsUp #MarkCarney #cdnpoli

I dont often agree with Joe Rogan, but I do here.
Joe Rogan explains to his audience why due process is important and quotes Ben Franklin — "it is better 100 guilty persons should escape than that one innocent person should suffer.”
He argues against shipping people to a prison in El Salvador without trial because we think they’re gang members.

Vote and encourage everyone around you to vote for Mark Carney. People did not vote in the USA because neither Trump nor Kamala fit their preferences.Most of them were leaning left. Don't let that happen in Canada; Mark needs a clear mandate.Let's send Pierre packing for good! #CanadaStrong #Cdnpoli
My socialist-leaning friends, please vote for Mark Carney this time around. He needs a strong victory over PP. I believe he will be a balance of what's needed to lead Canada through this mess, with what is needed to help everyday Canadians and the environment better than anyone else. #cdnpoli

He Deports innocent U.S. residents, then turns around & says undocumented immigrants can stay and work in hotels & farms.
He fires a bunch of people in govt, then begs some to come back.
