Frankly, I can't take anything the conservatives say seriously given their close alignment with Trump-style conservatism. They use practically the same campaign slogans, court the same style of extremist bullshit, and PP even wore Trumps orange bronzer for a bit lately.

Trump's overtly lying about things like trade deficits, cartels controlling Canada, fentanyl flowing over the northern border, and he overtly mislead people in the USA in regards to things like project 2025. they made it clear that they'd do/say anything they wanted to get elected, and then they enacted policies that they'd previously claimed they weren't aware of. I don't see why I would believe a single thing that comes out of the Trump-style conservative party that exists today.

Carney and his policies are honestly a lot more in line with 'traditional' conservative principles, along the same line as the Reform party under Manning, and the Cons under Harper. One reason he's got potential to win a big majority, is that he can bring in many of the voters who normally go conservative, who are pissed off at PP's bullshit machine and divisive rhetoric.
