<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you Cathy for your thoughts. I totally agree that Poilievre is the worse choice. However, Trudeau had promised to kill the F35 contract and who would have thought he would be a full all in Zionist and supporter of genocide against
the will of the majority of Canadians. I would also add that all of our leaders now represent a clear and present danger as well as existential threat to all of humanity for their complete and total embrace of militarism in the form of increasing war spending
between 2-5% which will impoverish the Canadian people even further with even more sharp declines in social spending and an even greater threat of war as they continue drumming up war fever against both Russia, China, and Iran with the full collusion of a
pro-military and pro-war media. Consent for these wars is already being manufactured among the Canadian public with a relentless stream of propaganda by both the government and media as they want to convince us that these nations are our inherent enemies bent
on our destruction. The Gospel is explicit we are to love our enemies and show love and kindness to those who harm us and we must I believe witness to this today in our dark culture of death and war.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">While the Canadian media clearly fawned over Mark Carney's ascension to the Liberal leadership in what amounted to a coronation I think it is important to also consider alternative media. This article is revealing about how the various
elites in Canada and abroad helped groom Carney for this emergence in the Liberal Party. While it is always hopeful when a new, fresh leader emerges it is also important to remember this same hope when Trudeau came to power after Stephen Harper. The following
article sheds light on how the narrative is shaped and I remain truly skeptical that Mark Carney will represent a significant change going forward. Trudeau to my mind proved unfortunately more disappointing than Harper in his unqualified support for Israel
and promise to cancel the F35 which he reneged on as soon as he came to power. Just some food for thought.<o:p></o:p></p>
