You're right, he has been doing a TON of things:

  • dropping the DST for his tech oligarch pals
  • cancelling the capital gains hike for his wealthy friends
  • dismantling much of Canada's already-insufficient climate policy including scrapping anti-greenwashing rules
  • promising to nearly triple the military budget while continuing to procure F-35s
  • slashing funding for science and health research, the CRA, Indigenous-specific programs, weather alerting systems
  • cutting the CBC's funding despite campaigning on doing the opposite
  • trying to drown Canada Post in a bathtub
  • pushing for gas-powered AI data centres
  • giving federal cabinet ministers extraordinary powers to exempt corporations from laws
  • freezing provincial health transfers, effectively making cuts when inflation & population growth are considered.

Wow! So efficient!

Exactly, which is why it pains me so much to see people cheering Carney for not being Poilievre, a bar he isn't even clearing, other than aesthetically
