It is still a do-nothing liberal who pushes their overton window right of even Trudeau setting the stage for the same shit in Canada as the US just a few years delayed

To be fair, we basically just elected a Biden-style neoliberal who is slightly to the right of Trudeau. As affordability continues to gradually decline, our Trump (Poilievre) or a similar guy will be even more empowered. We're basically a few years behind the USA right now and your right are actively trying to speed it up.
The liberal party should pass the electoral reform they promised so more political parties can compete on who can beat conservatives the best.
Stopping the conservatives is the priority... right?
The liberal party honors their promises... right?

I'm not gonna congratulate Canada on not completely shitting the bed. The Canadians were going to vote in a Trump-like conservative until Trump started banging on about Canada being the 51st state. If Trump kept his mouth shut, it would have been curtains for the Liberal party.
Canadians did not vote for the Liberals based on their record or policies, they voted to tell Trump to fuck off. The moment Trump is no longer a threat, the unity dies and everything swings back to the Conservatives, which isn't a good thing.
Better than starting a war to manufacture unity.

The really irritating thing to me is seeing the Trumpanzees mock Canada, talking like this is the end of Canada as a country.
No self-awareness, no realization that Trump's policies are the direct cause of this. They can't conceive of any way to advance their interests beyond people just abasing themselves before Trump.

Sure, sure, but, if politics were sane, Carney would have been the conservative nominee and there would have been no fear of fascism.
I already see Canadian tankies complaining about how right-wing Carney is.
- fuck tankies
- i DO think it is fair to lament that the state of the world has anyone in a place where they must strategically vote for a fucking banker to protect you from something worse
The Canadian Overton Window shifts to the right, regardless.
And how would the window have shifted if little pp had won?
It shifts left when they realize they have no choice but to stop moving right.
To paraphrase Jim Carrey, they'll keep moving right as long as 'So you're saying there's a chance!?!?'

I mean the guy is a straight laced professor of economics who wrote his thesis on the advantage of competition. He's not exactly a working class hero. However, it could have been way worse and anyone who can't see that just needs to look at the US to find out what happens when you don't vote for the lesser of two evils.
IMO anybody who promotes competition and antimonopoly is a working class hero.

You don't have to be a tankie to see that Carney is a red tory.
you don’t have to be an authcom to see that carney is to the right of trudeau; he canceled the carbon tax, the capital gains tax hike, and is in favor of building more oil pipelines
no matter who won, canada would shift to the right. all we could do is decide by how much.
(and either way, all 3 of them - trudeau, carney and poilievre - are neolibs who support the genocide in palestine)
He cancelled the carbon tax because the name had been beaten up by the Conservatives. He promised to replace it with something similar but more palatable to the general public. I loved the carbon tax but agree that half the population was against it because pretty much they hated the name.

Stephen Harper when he was leader of the Conservative Party offered Mark Carney a position as Finance Minister.
So Conservatives sure thought he was far enough to the right to be a Conservative.
And if the conservative had won they all would have suddenly become optimists "the bright side is that this will weaken the western empire and accelerated the revolution of the working class!"
Anything to the left of the Liberals is "tankies" now?
People to the left of Liberals aren't Tankies, but Tankies whinge that the winner is not left of Liberal. They would probably also whinge about an NDP PM. The only outcome I can see them celebrating is conservative victory. Tankies are scum of the earth.

Canadian conservatives are 40% of the voters. That's already way to much. And they using the trump book more and more: lie, lie and blame the left for fucking anything, some things will sticks. Even if I'm glad he was elected to deal the american shit show, the guy is still a fucking banker who's first action was to remove the carbon taxe. While we have to deal with the toddler from south who wants to annex us, the climate crisis wont fix itself magically.

yeah yeah well our broken country will still infect them like a mold so nanny nanny boo boo.
The propaganda train remains strong up here regardless. Half of the west is losing their mind every day pretending that Carney is some kind of secret nightmare that is going to soon be revealed, thus we've all shit the bed and will rue the day.
