I feel like people believe what they want to believe. And Carney being a sweet talker does not help.
I have some lovely neighbours, but they truly believe Carney words. Best way to help is to be sweet about it with some thought tickling questions.
Them: Oh poor Carney, had to do this bad stuff because of negotiations with Trump and the negotiations did not progress. Me: It might be tough being PM, all the information we don’t have access. I wonder why he did not make the bad stuff a condition to the negotiation, and bring back the good stuff in case it fails.
It helps to start some sharing of thoughts, but I don’t push harder than this because it always ends with the “UCP would have sold us by now”. And that is the reason I think makes the Liberals prevent PR. People will keep voting on them with fear of the other party.
That said, I often fall for Carney words as well. He does something bad, I get upset, he goes and does an interview, and midway I am falling for it. Wait a minute, let me check the data.
How many Prime Ministers are we going to go through who promise this and don’t follow through before you stop believing it?
We wont get it man. Trudeau RAN on that shit in his first term, like major platform.
You’re unsure still?
Take his suit jacket off and his shirt literally says “I SAY THE RIGHT THINGS”*.
*not really
I constantly told people during the election that I was torn because he was so perfectly saying ALL the right things, it was very alluring, but I couldn’t bring myself to believe him.
At least now I know without any doubt I shouldn’t believe him. (Doesn’t matter if I had voted for him anyway, because we don’t have proportional representation and my riding flipped thoroughly Conservative *shrug*)
I’ll probably never believe a federal Liberal again. So at least I’ve got that going for me.
