Everything Carney is doing makes a lot of sense if you consider he cares deeply about the well being of ~~average~~ wealthy Canadians.
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.)
That's the Liberal modus operandi though. They campaign on the left, but act on the right.
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.
I know. Whenever I criticize Carney, I get told I'm a conservative fascist, as if the Conservative party was the only other option. I'm a member of the NDP for crying out loud. Carney is a small 'c' conservative and a lot of the policies he puts in place, or intends to, are damaging for Canada, and especially it's environment and working class. But noooo. You can't criticize the man because apparently he's the only saviour to conservatives?
I forgot to mention one of his mps is pushing for surveillance bill c-22.
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.
I've been referring to him as a 2008 Conservative
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.
Based Gilmore.
Based AF. She fights Nazis IRL.
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.
He's showing around 70% approval.
Your information might be old.
I'm talking about people who would vote for his liberal party.
Then you should have said the Liberals. Carney is polling better than the party.
