Without naming the opposition Conservatives, Carney seemed to allude to them when he said there are “some who say there’s no need for a comprehensive plan” –- that Canadians should “wait it out” in the hope that U.S. relations will go back to how they were in the “good old days.”

He pointed out that young Canadians have experienced no such good days -- their entire lives having been impacted by the shocks and crises of global wars, financial strife and COVID-19.

People should be worried about politicians with no plans for a better future, and politicians that do not react to crisis.
Sitting on their thumbs and intervening only so their cronies can profit should be a huge red flag. Sadly, they keep getting elected with a minority of votes.

That should be their slogan, Conservatives: we do nothing and pray better times come.

“some who say there’s no need for a comprehensive plan”

A fresh pair of gel-filled kneepads was a plan.

They do plenty of whining about anything the liberals want to do.

good old days.

If the Cons want to relive 1814 then passivity isn't the way to do that.

As opposed to those with plans... but just to do the same thing they've always done just with a slightly less odious partner this time.
