There was never a chance a woman would win as leader. The Liberals claim to be feminist but have never had a female in charge running the Liberal party.

MODERATORS
Freeland has polled fairly poorly against Poilievre and this is what everyone i know voted on - who can defeat him. Then there's some of the bad takes she made. She sounded austerity-ish, made some anti-woke statements which play right in the cons' hands.
Not to mention that she fiercely opposed electoral reform while Mark Carney gave a maybe.
The broad Canadian public is against woke policies. People want meritocracy, not identity. Read the public polling of the amount of people who support same sex marriage, it's going down. Look at the polling numbers of the public turning against the ideology of transgenderism.
Please piss off to conservative lemmy’s. Or to the US. You have no coherent explanation of what is “woke” except for maybe it’s something undefined that you don’t personally like. You don’t speak for the broad Canadian public. Stop inflecting garbage US nonsense here. We’ve had gay marriage for more than 25 years and it’s never going away.
When you go outside, talk with random strangers and ask for their take on woke and check if people out in public support gay marriage. Get people;s opinion's face to face that you don't know previously, the internet is not the real world.
Congrats. You’re my first block on lemmy.
They're a transphobic loser, you won't miss much.
Reminder of the Liberal's record on proportional representation: "Liberals never wanted to “make every vote count.”… Electoral reform has become a bonbon offered at election. As far back as 1919, Liberals have campaigned on the promise of proportional representation"
Mark Carney's position on electoral reform: "open". However...
- He’s an economist, and the mathematics pairs quite nicely with the mathematics of electoral systems.
- His public persona is that he is intelligent. But when asked specifically about electoral reform and proportional representation, he says he’s uncertain and open to exploring options? Why would someone as smart as him be uncertain about ensuring every vote counts.
Means he's unfamiliar with the issue, or doesn't want to take a position lol
Given the Liberal's failings on proportional representation, I tend to think it's the latter: he doesn't want to take a position
Too bad for Chrystia Freeland. I think she would have been a great PM. I watched her speak a few times, and she is well-spoken, smart, and has that little edge like she'd really destroy you if you forced her to.
I would have voted for either, though, and I'm happy for Mark Carney. He'll do a great job.
She will be invaluable to the country going forward.
