    Dangerous or not, many Canadians believe that. The “political honeymoon” period has morphed into at least a political 1-term relationship. It sickens me that Carney’s first national interest project is a pipeline, since it’s like the last project that should be on that list. That said, Carney’s balloon fills with hot air every time Trump talks dirt about Canada. So I might argue he is the person made for the moment.

      Carney is Biden is Keir Starmer they are all the same kind of catastrophic centrist ruling class miscalculation of how best to oppose rightwing populism nipping at the heels of a collapsing paradigm of neoliberalism that has been systematically ineffective at raising or even maintaining the living standards of its people…

      Rinse and repeat ughh

      I just worry the timing of the US elections and how Canada reacted may fatally convince Canadians an empty, neoliberal banker who stokes feelings of nationalism without actually helping the average person is the only choice that can save them from rightwing fascism when it is in truth the only choice that can make the rise of rightwing fascism inevitable.

      The only people who will be politically engaged in Canada after people like Carney are done with the country are working class uninformed angry people who will give power to the first person who comes along who convinces them they will burn everything down. Trust me, I live in the US and we are way ahead of you in our belly flop into fascist collapse and this story only ever goes one way past a certain fatal momentum.
