    How is this:

    The Liberals did some good stuff. They could have done a ton more. But their changes have generally been baby steps in the right direction.

    The same as this:

    Liberals have done a good job governing, passing many laws and policies I support and generally making my life better.

    How is it even a discussion that the Liberals did a “good” job. Can anyone actually provide anything tangible for this?

      Tangible? Like a list or something? Would it even help because my experience is making a list for someone is just inviting an annoying, ten mile long part by part argument that I have no interest in being part of.

      But anyway, I’m happy with the child care funding, cannabis legalization, water boil advisory work, pro LGBT stance, standing up for women in NB and PEI for healthcare access, the carbon rebate, the Greener homes grant, the EV rebate, the pension plan changes, the Covid response, lower middle tax brackets and higher taxes at the highest brackets (plus a new bracket at the top), independent senators, and election act changes to name a few things that I personally am happy with.

      Edit: (how could I forget getting rid of student loan interest and providing long generous repayment terms)

        Housing, lying about voting reform, immigrations, 34 Billion dollar pipeline.

        The senate should be elected.

          I wouldn’t trade the alternative approaches to those for backtracking or alternate approaches to the things I listed. Especially considering one needs a constitutional amendment to be binding and one is a provincial responsibility.
