I think it’s a valid argument to make, that rhetorically Carney is progressive but his government’s legislative actions are more conservative like Harper or Chrétien. But Poilievre is not like either of those two I compared Carney to.
If I were to name one concrete difference between how the two would govern that is based on public actions/statements and not speculation, Carney is keeping the Toronto-Quebec High Speed Rail project going through its design until its groundbreaking, where Poilievre would have cancelled it with no legitimate alternative.
