LPC armed a genocide, subsidized ecocide, lied about electoral reform, refused to reign in property barons or grocery oligarchs. They're also a huge pulsating cancerous lump.

Carney's dumping money into ai bubbles, offensive submarines, property acquisition corps. Every British person I've ever communicated with about him says he is a nightmare.

The British don’t like him because he said brexit was a mistake and they don’t want their central bank making political statements, despite its objectivity

He assisted the Brexit gov.

He advised not to do Brexit, and then had to deal with mitigating the consequences after they did it anyway.

No, he told them it was a stupid idea and he got roasted by the government for being "political".

I love how brits blame government now when it was a fucking REFERENDUMB.

They didn’t lie about electoral reform, nobody agreed and every party wanted the system that favoured them the most. Every party played politics on that instead of asking what’s best for Canada.

Imagine they change it and the second the CPC get power they change it to what they want? They’d never shut up about it either, it would have been a disaster. Imagine Alberta separatism with that feather in their hat.

Not true. The nationwide public consultations and the committee all came to the conclusion that Proportional Representation was the way to go, and recommended a mixed-member proportional system. The Liberals pulled the rug out because it wasn't their preferred outcome.
