The LPC caved to conservatives’ pressure on immigration, capital gains tax, and the carbon tax (the two leading contenders for LPC leadership are promising to abolish the carbon tax); is the LPC moving dangerously to the right? There are some LPC voters who claim the party has moved too far to the left, but it’s precisely left-wing policies that pivoted the party from third place in the polls to winning the federal election in 2015. Put a stop to this nonsense please.

Hello

I used to be a liberal party member but I left the party a couple years ago because of Trudeau

I signed up to rejoin and to vote in the leadership election but I remembered that I unsubscribed/blocked the LPC on my email list

I didn't get any email when I signed up and I was using the same email I had used before (my primary)

Now I can't sign up again with a diffrent email because I don't want to get accused of trying to vote twice and I don't know how I am going to be able to verify my ID when they ask for verification soon

I can't figure out how to undo my blocking on Gmail

What do I do?

I registered as a liberal before the deadline on the 27th, but have not received any kind of confirmation of my membership. I did receive election oriented email yeseterday seeking donations including a link to register as a liberal which made me concerned my registration did not go through. I have never voted in a leadership race before. Should I receive some sort of membership confirmation? If I don't have it, will it be a problem when it comes time to vote?

Will mark carney continue the firearms bans? Or will he drop them?

Hey folks - So Doug Ford has called a snap election in Ontario (in winter) despite already having a majority. I’m not fool enough to think he’ll lose the election, but it would be fair for him to lose some seats at least for putting his people through an unnecessary, expensive, election when there are SO MUCH MORE important things that need doing. So. Can you help out, regardless of where you live, by following Liberal candidates on their social media platforms ? When many candidates being very recently nominated, their reach is super limited. Help out a fellow Liberal and let’s see if we can flip a few seats 🔴🔴🔴 I will update with links and further info. ✌🏻

I've seen comments suggesting that some right-wing voters are allegedly registering as Liberal members to sway the leadership vote. I assume the idea is they’d vote against Mark Carney, believing he has the best chance of beating PP in a general election.

Does anyone know if there’s any truth to this, or is it just speculation? Since the LPC doesn’t charge a membership fee, I’m curious what safeguards are in place to prevent this kind of interference?

Edit: just found an example of this over at r/CanadianConservative

Is there one? I can’t seem to find it. Thank you 🙏

Very loose rules to register as a liberal member which leaves the party vulnerable to foreign interference and manipulation by non-party strategic Canadians. It's free, just fill out a little form. Deadline to be able to vote is tomorrow for the upcoming leadership race. I hope motivated people will register and vote!

Edit: as of this month you have to be citizen or PR 👍

Disclosure: If the national NDP was not in disarray and totally blowing it, I wouldn't be here. But that said, I am genuinely excited to vote for Mark Carney so I registered for the LPC for the first time ever. Based on his pedigree, I felt he'd be far more neoliberal than I could handle. But from his written statements and his online talks he seems genuine, compassionate, and open to good ideas wherever they come from. From an economic point of view, I like his rational and open-handed stance towards to CBDCs and MMT, which I believe are long-term solutions towards a fairer future. From a climate change point of view, he has an optimistic outlook for a clean energy revolution based on the current trajectory of financial markets. He'll know how to direct even more private sector investment towards clean energy than any other candidate for prime minister could. I'd like to see more from him on housing, but I hope it is similar. If he was also pro-union and pro-electoral reform I'd be really happy, but so far so good.

In any case, my enthusiasm for the LPC is entirely based on Carney and I'll be voting for him as leader.

He is getting out at the right time. Trump won’t be his problem anymore. I genuinely like Justin Trudeau and haven’t had any issue with his tenure other than being too socially progressive. He made me excited to be a Liberal and now that feeling is fading away as he goes.

I hope he and his family go into hiding because I fear Canadian MAGAts will go after him. Will he continue to have a security detail?
