Please Vote. Please Vote Liberal.

This election campaign feels like a long one but only some weeks have passed. Polling numbers are like a roller-coaster for the past two years, and like them my intention to have a written monologue comes and goes. I have to get rid of the electoral anxiety in some ways; so here we are. This wall of text should've been completed weeks ago but only made available now thanks to the Conservatives deliberately withheld releasing their costed platform until the last day of advance voting. In any case, I hope that this completely subjective passage can be a little bit persuasive and helpful.  We just went through patches after patches of bumpy road since the last election. Suddenly, we Canadians find ourselves being attacked in all directions: Trump and his lunatic policies that ended a decades-old period of economical and political non-conflict between US and Canada; China eyes on Taiwan and beyond, challenging the free and open Indo-Pacific and Canada's gateway to the Pacific; Russ...

紧握手中票 票投自由党

选举开始也有几个星期了。这两年,民调的数字大起大落。我一直有满腹的话想讲,整天的胸口像有块大石压着,所以趁着选举最后一星期的当口赶紧写下来。要不是保守党带计算的政纲故意趁着提前投票期结束才出来,这篇文章其实早该写好了。文章整体都是夹带私货,还是希望各位公民朋友交流指正。 自2021年上次选举以来,加拿大的国内外局势急转直下。南面,川普治下的美国虎视眈眈,直接撕破了美加之间五十年间经济和政治上的君子协定,就差军事对峙了;西边,中国鹰视狼顾,对台湾磨刀霍霍,不断挑战自由、开放、和平的太平洋秩序;往北往西,有俄罗斯直接下场武装侵略乌克兰,虽然速通基辅失败,但也对欧洲和加拿大的北部地区构成直接威胁。国内因油价等因素经历了一阵较高速度的通货膨胀,而之后升息的调控政策又导致了信贷负担普遍较重的普通加拿大民众经济上的压力。移民数字飞涨,医疗卫生及住房却没有及时跟进,又导致民怨四起。犯罪、毒品、边境……满目疮痍。 在这样的情况下,Trudeau的自由党政府做了什么呢?政策方面,不仅朝令夕改,而且总是慢一步。就算赶上了趟,也只负责发通稿,不负责具体实践。遇事先推脱责任(省/市政府的问题),再春秋笔法(“我们的(某个完全不搭嘎的政策)可以解决问题”),接着再试着想解决实际问题。而上层建筑更是摇摇欲坠:从总理办公室到内阁,Trudeau身边只有自己大学生涯上来的亲信,只唯上、不唯实;任人唯亲,而不是任人唯贤;基层甚至自己党内民代的意见、建议只能通过总理办公室的这些虫豸转达(或者不转达),这些人甚至直接专制地掌控政策的制定和执行,搞得联邦政府乌烟瘴气,活生生一副宦官干政的架势! 读到这里,想必有些朋友认为我批评上届政府是为了支持保守党;错了!我常说,Carney的自由党和Trudeau的自由党政府,从做人到做事,根本就是两码事。Carney一上任组成的内阁,虽然留用了一些上届内阁的人员,但是主要都是风评比较好的Joly、Champagne等人,而Miller等靠关系、没政绩的Trudeau老人则都没有留用。看守内阁人员组成少,各个阁员负责部门更多,和Trudeau治下注重外表而轻实际表现的用人哲学南辕北辙。更要紧的是,现在加拿大的问题,甚至包括上届自由党政府留下来的问题,只能由Carney这个久经考验的经济学家来解决,而决不能交给Poilievre这个政客。 Carney的政策能抓重点,着...
