For the ‘Carney is basically just Poilievre’ Crowd, a look at Poilievre’s proposed legislation (note: this from about a month ago)

I’ve seen this take that Carney is just as bad as Poilievre more than a few times. And while Carney may not be as Green as some had hoped for but my goodness, the difference between him and Poilievre is staggering.

Figured it’s worth posting the legislation that Poilievre put forward in August which includes removing pipeline regulations, scrapping the West Coast oil-tanker ban; killing the industrial carbon tax; eliminating the electric vehicle mandate and reversing the single-use plastics ban.

    The US did the exact opposite of this: rally behind ineffectual neoliberals who would not and could not get the job done.

      I mean, the US rallied behind Trump, if anything.

      Democrats in particular didn’t go for somebody from the progressive wing, but I’m not sure if that would have helped. Look at Jeremy Corbyn. The actual alternative would be for party leadership to recognise the system was done for and aggressively manage it’s collapse, but they didn’t come anywhere close to that. The class of people in charge seemed to prefer the theory that they could manifest a functional democracy by believing in it hard enough.

      Maybe there was another path if you change things all the way back in the 'oughts. By Obama’s presidency things were already in a deadlock death spiral.

      So far , Carney did nothing but incompetence and betrayed Canadian with the major promise of fighting Trump. This is so frustrating to me because the mini trump will win next time because of it

          That’s why carney should be critisized and be pressured to do what he promised since he already caved to Trump , the issue that made him win the election. Otherwise, Poilievre will win like trump won
