Carney, and the Liberals and centrists in general, constantly resist real change. He acts more like a conservative than anything, and even very recently tried to screw over the Air Canada attendants when they tried to fight for fair pay. He’s selling off our resources to private companies and laying off government workers during a time where those people will seriously struggle to find new work.
The speech was decent, I guess, but coming from Carney it’s just a bad joke. Like Trudeau kneeling with the BLM protesters, he’s demanding better behaviour from world leaders while being a world leader who can’t behave himself. Pretty, empty words from a weak man.
We should listen and form a new world order, and we should make sure that he doesn’t get to pretend like he was on the right side of history.
Carney is very conservative. He was well liked by Harper and is to the right of Trudeau. We really need actual leftists and not bankers leading the way and I regret voting for him and not voting NDP or to a communist party (even if they had no chance of winning).
Why would you have to worry if they would win or not? Didn't the liberal party get elected with a mandate to pass electoral reform recently? Surely they would keep their promises!
If everyone who voted for the party that aligned with their views I think they’d be pretty surprised at who really had “no chance of winning”. The Liberals didn’t throw voting reform in the garbage for nothing.
I voted for Carney because I dreaded PP. I didn't realize the extent of how much he would be talking out of both sides of his mouth. On one hand acting like it is all over, but on the other hand doing everything he can to appease the US and passing online and 'strong borders' act that effectively destroy privacy online for Canadians AND share or straight up hand that information over to the US authorities just like that.
I think that this is likely just how politics is done now. On one hand you have a guy that will keep giving the elites what they want. On the other, you have a complete wackadoo that'll scare the voters into picking the first guy. It's like voting with a gun to your head.
As a bonus, if on the off chance people do end up voting for the wackadoo, well then it's party time. We have plenty of current examples of that.
