While Canada works to distance itself from the United States on many fronts, new analysis finds it is rolling back climate policy in the same direction.
I agree the NDP is in that position, or at least preparing to be there now.
To say there is any nuance which would actually make the LPC look better than the NDP is complete nonsense.
I wasn’t comparing the LPC with the NDP directly as parties here, mostly the leaders. The party and leader to beat in Apr 2026 was the CPC and Poilievre. My point is that before anyone starts blaming would-be NDP voters in 2025, looking at the point-in-time context, Singh wasn’t up to the task at hand at dealing with Trump which was top of mind, while Carney was. The 6-week free trial of Carney we got gave us the sense he would be a neolib 90s style liberal, so aside from the qualifiers in my last comment, people shouldn’t be too surprised.
I also don’t like when Carney licks USA boot but he did show some spine this one time in August when absolutely everybody thought the Canadian negotiating team was going to capitulate to some very bad terms. Overall, I find he speaks very well to the room, which is why I despise his crowd-pleasing “great again” rhetoric while visiting the USA, but like what he says in Europe. It is him being shifty and two-faced, but as far as world leaders go, being competent and aware would give him a passing grade. I will continue to complement the LPC when they do things I like, and criticize them and also complain to my local LPC MP when they do things I don’t. There’s a solid amount of each.
Ok…so you claimed with very little basis that Singh wasn’t up to the task at hand, claimed that Carney was, then admitted that he has been almost entirely useless(licking USA boot actually makes him complicit and, frankly, a traitor as well being a massive understatement), and you still aren’t getting it?! Carney has done almost nothing truly positive and, as usual, anything good has been stuff the NDP would have done better. Right now I’m seeing ads for the Canadian dental plan, a thing which the NDP made happen through coalition, because they can’t help but take credit for the thing they were forced to do by better people.
I swear to god, you “strategic voters” must have some kind of fetish or some kind of unaddressed psychological trauma that leads you to these decisions. I wish you had just been normal stupid, but instead your admissions that Carney has been shit, while still defending him, just kinda leaves me with an intense feeling hopelessness. It’s truly depressing sharing a country with you and knowing that, outside of the truly brain-dead CPC voters, millions of Canadians can see the correct answers, agree they’re correct, and then still shoot themselves, and everyone else, in the foot.
For the love of fuck, please listen to even just yourself.
Well, I think I get what you’re saying, and I think I’ve articulated myself well enough in my two earlier replies. If that’s how you feel in response to that, I’m terribly sorry you have to live with me. Have a nice night.
