    Everything Carney is doing makes a lot of sense if you consider he cares deeply about the well being of average wealthy Canadians.

      I wish the NDP had a competitive position. Would love to see a true coalition where the parties needed eachother to actually agree and not just rubber stamp a different type of crazy.

        Fingers crossed they can take advantage of their momentum and the PC’s loss thereof!

        Historically, the NDP’s have been quite useful in coalitions, they know how to put pressure on the other parties.

    As Cory Doctorow said: I’m a firm believer in Carneyism. I just wish Mark Carney was too.

    (The things he says are great. His actions don’t always match up to that.)

    She’s 100% correct here, I’ve seen it myself in discussions here on Lemmy too. Any criticisms of Carney and his policies are met with accusations of American support by people who appear to view politics like a zero-sum game.

        Originally Bill C-2, which was defeated, so now they’re trying Bill C-22 and are trying to bypass the process. They did it immediately, too.

        It is bullshit. I voted for Carney to AVOID shit like that!

          Both parties are the same. Carney has taken lots if conservative policies as his own. We had no choice but conservative last election.

    Mark Carney peaked at 46% of public support. He is pushing for privatization of our airports and Canada Post.

    He has went silent on Pharmacare despite it being in his 2025 liberal platform.
