Concern yes, but it's not a pivotal voting consideration. I'm not debating the merits of this, but it's pretty clear that climate considerations do not move the electorate much in these times.

There's no evidence that climate is a pivotal issue for voters. It's about jobs, the economy, housing...
Even now, Liberals are much better for the environment than Conservatives

I honestly don't get this. Why would anyone except the lunatic fringe prefer the Conservatives. I feel so lucky to have Carney. On the next poll ask "Why?"

Finding it hard to take seriously anyone who can support Poilievre. Re-elect him, by all means, it will mean the Liberals definitely stay in power. PP is toxic and only a few Conservatives don't know this.

Ya, Bob was not telling the whole truth about his next posting. This is the Mass Internment Envelope a.k.a. Massie, and his next address is Kingston, Canada's limestone prison. You gotta pay the piper sometime. But the sherry is good.

NYC exists in the great state of Denial. As far as I can tell, no one in New York ever voted for Trump and they've washed their hands of him. It's the Pontius Pilate of cities and it's passivity is definitely feeding the beast.

How do you know what I think - you don't. How do you know what Carney is thinking - you don't. Why say things you know nothing about. I don't know.
