He never changed ... it's everyone else admitting now to what he always was.

Yeah, what did people think the former governor of the bank of England would do?

We tend to look at him as the former governor of the bank of Canada.

I kept saying that everyone all through the last election .... everyone kept thinking 'hey let's elect this person to represent the people because he spent his entire career representing banks, money, wealth and finance'

Ahh, didn't realise he did that too. That just makes it worse xD

Exactly, he campaigned as a 90s Liberal, we get a 90s-style Liberal leader and he did crib PP's notes directly in his 2025 campaign.

I have said about Harris in the US election that she will listen to a progressive chorus of voices, if they speak up in unison, to steer her in the right direction, whereas Trump gives no fucks about anyone else.

Similarly I don't regret my Liberal vote to avoid PP, but I will support Mr. Lewis' message and write my MP regularly, because it will percolate to the Liberals in one way or the other.

And I invite people to look at this thread to see where the NDP was even before the election was called. Mr. Singh there was trying to campaign towards the centre, in sort of Kamala Harris style. No wonder they lost out on SW Ontario and Vancouver Island vote-splits. With all due respect, I'm noticing recently people are retconning what was happening and making fanfiction in their head on what the NDP could have been at the time.
