    I don’t think Carney is going a good job at all. He’s acting one way in public, but another behind closed doors.

    He’s not even neo liberal, he’s a progressive conservative. With him at the helm, big Canadian companies are going to keep screwing us over, housing is going to keep being a crisis, and he’s doing to apply more austerity measures, cutting us off from even more much needed social benefits.

    Plus he can’t say that Israel is committing genocide. He just can’t say it! They’re like a Nazi state committing crimes against humanity the likes of which we haven’t seen since thenNazi Germany era and he can’t fucking acknowledge it.

    How can you even approve of this?

    We deserve better.

    And of course PP wasn’t even a choice. He’s an idiot. But I strongly believe we needed the NDP to keep the balance from tilting too much on the right. And that’s where we all failed.

      The thing about elections is, we have to make the best choice we can from the available options at that time.

      And, given the options available during the last election, Carney was the more rational choice.

      Were Layton still around, I suspect things might have been quite a bit different.

        The NDP still deserved more seats. They worked really hard and were able to pass a few important bills even as a third place party in parliament. The liberals took credit for them. Then on top of it, Carney sweet talked his way into gaining the NDP vote.

        I’m not saying the NDP should’ve become the leading party. Rather that we needed them to have enough seats to pull their weight and provide a counter balance in parliament, especially in a minority government.

      He’s a choice because pp is fucking trump. Carney has bad shit, but he also is showing we aren’t rolling over. Pp would suck trumps dick on live TV.

      Sing was never a real option. We aren’t as racist as america but canada would never vote someone that brown. You may say that is racist but you know its true. That speech he made on davos was real, The old word is finished. I think he is the right amount of backbone we need. If the ndp could stand up next election I would welcome it.
