@icemantbi

 Absolutely correct. 
Sad that the average folks will fall for the media’s portrayal of the situation.  They for sure played up the Trump thing.  
It should be the least of their concerns; vote for what is best for the country and yourself.  
They are now going to empower the country to go further down the road that created the very problems that everyone knows exist.  
There is just not a good way to make the folks think critically so that the media does not have such an influence on their thinking on matters.  
People are too busy with day-to-day life to study and look into things on their own.  So, they have to trust the media, in a way, because that is what they mostly see and hear.  
I just wish Poilievre had run a better and louder campaign.  Waiting so long to release his costed platform looked bad.  Then to say ‘95% of Canadians’ know what it would look like if he ran the government because he has been rolling out policies all along. 
He should have got it out early and talked it a lot and loudly on every possible show, news outlet, and podcast that would have him on.  
This was a good chance for Canada to make some of the changes the USA, parts of Europe, parts of Latin American and Australia have started to do.  Instead Canada is headed further down this same road. 
I am not so sure he spent enough time campaigning in the right places.  He had to convince more of the areas that vote Left; he had to sway them.  He needed to use social media more and try to energize the young voters and get them out to vote.  
He should have tied Carney more to Trudeau than he did.  
Very disappointing the way he and his team did this.  Maybe he can pull it off.  But maybe he can learn from it and do it differently next time.  
I did like the way he closed the other day with this, when talking about the economic proposals:

“This is a hopeful message. And you know this really is the choice. Do you want hope for a change, or do you want fear that keeps us in descent with rising costs and crime and a fourth Liberal term?” said Poilievre, speaking in Woodbridge.

But it needed to be said earlier and more often when presenting his proposals along the way.  
People respond to a ‘hopeful’ message when they are desperate.

You cannot win consistently in the NFL without a legitimate franchise QB. Yet, Tomlin still does.

You cannot name another coach that does that or even could do it.

Today’a NFL is a QB-driven league more so than at any other time.

Too many QBs are called ‘franchise’ QBs when they really should not be.

Tomlin has not had a franchise QB since a prime Big Ben.  Wilson used to be one but no longer seems to be.

With that being said, if Rodgers is willing to take the $10M or whatever to play — they should sign him.  He is still good and could very well be the answer to them getting back to a SB.  They have a lot of talent on both sides of the ball now and appear to be very close to taking the next step.

That is exactly what Minnesota should have done also.

Fans have for some weird reason turned on Rodgers since the pandemic and because of his politics, etc.  They say teams do not want to deal with his ego and drama.  It is very weird to me.  What great QB does not have an ego, and rightly so.

NFL players are professionals and that sort of thing should not bother them.  Because by all accounts he is a good teammate.  He is a proven winner and looked good on a far worse Jets team last year.

Besides, who is better at handling knuckleheads than Tomlin.  Look at how he kept Bell, Brown, Ben, etc. under control.

A good team and a good coach should not care that much about that; they only care about whether the guy will help them win.

I think it is worth a shot until you can find whomever you think is the next franchise QB.

Rodgers still has a great arm and can make all the throws.  He showed good mobility after the surgery.  He certainly can read defenses.  And he obviously wanted to go to a team that need a QB to make the next move because they have all the other pieces and were so close last year.

There are only two choices — Steelers and Vikings.

I think Dungy is a very nice guy and was a decent coach.  But a much better defensive coach.

I am not so sure how much attention I would pay to him on offensive advice and especially about Quarterbacks.

Since joining the Steelers in 2007, he has led the team to 12 playoff appearances, seven division titles, three AFC Championship Games, two Super Bowlappearances, and a title in Super Bowl XLIII.

3rd best record since 2007

NE - .668

GB - .640

PIT - .630

KC - .589

NO - .582

So, I am not sure of your definition of ‘mediocrity’, but I think 25+ teams would like that type of ‘success’.

They now have 21 straight non-losing seasons.  That is tied for the most ever.

That is NOT ‘mediocrity’.

I get that you do not like Tomlin and think he is just mediocre.   I still say he gets the most out of his talent than nearly all other coaches.  Look at how well he did the last few years with a much deteriorated Big Ben.  Then when Ben goes down for the season and without Antonio Brown, they still won 7 of the next 8 with Rudolph at QB and they make the playoffs.

Then the next year they have a rookie QB, a journeyman QB, and a mediocre QB they start 2-6.  Then turn it around and finish 9-8 and barely missed the playoffs.

Then with Pickett and Rudolph they still make the playoffs two years after Ben.

Then last year they start very well with a one-dimensional Fields that is still learning and a much-depleted Wilson, that is now mostly a game manager.  They still make the playoffs and even had the division lead for a large part of the season.

I would be very surprised if they won BC.  I saw that on Pinnacle earlier. It is now -131/+109. 

But it is so amazing to me that folks will keep voting for what got them where they are now.  
The Liberals have no plans to address the issues that most Canadians are concerned about, yet they will continue down the same road.
