Both candidates have qualities that could deal with Trump. We also need a Prime Minister that will deal with homegrown issues as well. This election should not be run on Trump nearly as much as it has been. I want to be able to purchase healthy food for my family, and get into see a doctor at ER without a 9 hour wait.

Your first step then should be dumping the UCP. They control the health system in this province, which has been abysmal since they took over. Even their open corruption can't fix it.

Healthcare is under provincial administration. Hope you vote for Nenshi next election then.

Given Carney has done more in one phone call with Trump than PP has done in his entire political career OR Smith has done in her numerous tax payer funded trips to the US pandering to the right, I think it's a clear sign which party is able to deal with him more effectively.

In case you didn't read today's news the tarrifs were halted until we have a new givt all due to Smiths single handed negotiating. Open your eyes

Do you believe everything you hear
Liberals are the ones that told you this correct

HAHAHA right. It's all Smith's doing that we have no change to the already imposed tariffs - they are NOT halted. Auto, steel and aluminum are in effect. Do you think Shapiro and his sheep actually swayed tariffs? My eyes are open and reading from multiple sources, not just whatever Smith spills on her X account.

Well said JannB. Carney for sure to help navigate CANADIANS through this mess. The likes of Smith so blatantly working against Team Canada for the sole interests of Alberta and to now see her growing support for annexation of our province is disturbing. Her base (Laxbrain or something like that above) is a worshipper but not necessarily an informed voter. I just hope the polls are all correct and the rest of Canada maintains their focus on things that they CAN do (buy Canadian, restrict US travel, vote Carney).

I am trying to to understand just what makes Carney our saviour
He is a green Jesus but he is slimy just like Trump

The difference is he governs with his brain and sound economic principles as opposed to catchy 3-word slogans and petty angry tantrums.

read his book before you vote. it tells you where he will take the country. it is not pretty

Truth! Everything he has said prior to taking leadership of the liberal party is contrary to where we want to go as a nation ... and Trudeau's policies on steroids. In the meantime, he moved his business to the USA ... but he's going to fight Trump on tariffs?
His words and actions before campaigning speak far louder than his campaign speeches if one is willing to look.
PP may not present as well, but he speaks truth. Everything Carney has been saying about Pierre has been lies, but most are not willing to look into those statements.

It was the liberals with Marc carney advising that got this country in this mess to start with people have short memories

Katie Telford who was Trudeau's chief of staff and is part of Mark Carney's team is paying people to be oppose anything conservative and promote anything related to Mark Carney. Your tax dollars at work essentially.

If you are pro Mark Carney on here I really hope at the very least she is paying you or else you are missing out. Unfortunately I have yet to see a penny from any party to say this.

Mark Carney is behind a miriad of policies signed by Justin Trudeau. Nope, he's not the right choice!

EC
E.B. Clarke

You Poilievre supporters are quick to say why Carney isn't the right choice, but not one of you has said why you think Poilievre is. Exactly what about his qualifications, experience, economic plan or leadership skills and style convinces you to vote for him? What do you see that reassures you that he can and will stand up to Trump? How do you reconcile the statements of Danielle Smith, who told Trump's minions that Poilievre will work well with the USA because he's "aligned" with Trump?

People really think that Trudeau’s adviser for the past 5+ years is the best man for Canada? Learned nothing ?

The single biggest observation from this paper and the election is that the majority of people that read it are old retired wealthy white folk.

It in no way represents the real world of foothills.
