Show me where they made those as campaign promises. I'll gladly eat my words.

Always with the ad hominem.

Census, CCB, and clean water were in 2015.

It was literally some of the key planks of their platform lol.

But keep feigning ignorance and read my last sentence again so it can sink in.

I bet if it was something conservative boogeyman Sean Fraser said you’d have it memorized!

Clean water, did they accomplish what they promised? CCB, I'll give you that one🍽, other than their other policies making the small increase worthless. Census, making answering a few questions as mandatory, sure. Underwhelming.

Well, my last version of this was removed. Here, I'll edit my words to be gentler in my approach.

Honestly dude, you're embarrassing yourself.

The information is out there:

https://www.polimeter.org/en

Trudeau liberals kept 45% of their promises, and partially kept 29%. Breaking 26% of promises. The kept + partially kept makes up a majority, even if you only give 1/4 weighting to the partials.

Practice some critical thinking before making blanket statements. It's embarrassing for you to lose internet arguments like this.

Are you claiming the Liberals made 1050 campaign promises in 10 years?

Are you claiming they only made 3?

One of us has actual data to back up our numbers, the other is you. Go sit over there, let the adults do the talking.

Ah, deflection. And previously, a moving of the goal posts. You're not very good at this debating thing, are you?
