The explanation is money. Now let's stop this shit. Time to get organized. Start or join a protest group. Let's not wait until it's too late like south of us.

I'm guessing the reason is supply management on dairy.

There's a large rural Quebecois voting block that really likes supply management. By dropping the DST, Carney can cede something to Trump without pissing them off. The DST doesn't have the same constituency, so it'll hurt the LPC less during the next election.

CACO, I guess XD

No, Europe’s just the same

You voted for Liberals. Their only persistent trait is lying to the public about who they are and then siding with big business once elected.

I sincerely hope you learn something from this. This is the Liberal m.o. and has been for years. They're a big business party, and don't have typical Canadian's interests at heart. Their most redeeming feature is that they're not the Cons.

If you actually care about bettering the lives of typical Canadians, then look at what parties have track records of getting results. (Hint: A lot of Canadians just got dental care.)

You can't really stand up to power by voting, unfortunately. All your choices are just different ways of giving these jackals power with more or fewer steps.

I hope there are local groups and organizations where you're at that you can join to start to organize a grassroots movement.

Just stop buying US shit.

Those of us who give a damn are already doing that as much as possible.

Unfortunately the 1000 pound gorilla that is the USA had taken over some parts of our economy to the point where there is no way to avoid them completely.

Buying stuff from the US isn't affected by US tariffs!?

Tariffs would be when you sell things to the US, and even then you're not the one paying them, it's just the US government charging its citizens extra to buy things

I know it's tough to wrap one's head around an idea so fervently championed yet obviously self-defeating XD

Well, he lasted a good few weeks.

That's what I said after they fucked us on electoral reform. Being a principled voter is the correct pragmatic decision in the long term.

ABC results in US two-party system.

Because we entrusted our country to a person that cares about one bottom line only and doesn't actually give a fuck about telling trump to piss off?

Supply management on dairy. The yanks have hated that for a while, but there's a bunch of Quebecois dairy farmers who really like it. I'm guessing that Carney is giving up the DST since it doesn't have a constituency - if that allows him to keep supply management on dairy, it'll be easier to keep Quebec's support during the next election.
