    Wait are you saying Carney is a stpp gap solution and doesn’t give a shit about acthally solving the crisis because he is a neoliberal banker?

      Stop-gap? Brother he is actively dismantling the whole goddamn thing. He is the problem.

          They’re almost identical, when it comes down to it. We can’t really vote against the CPC by voting LPC, so all the “better than PP” crap is less than meaningless. We also don’t live in a two party system and have the NDP who are objectively, despite any criticism, leagues better than either of our conservative parties.

            I understand we have those options from the NDP now and a principled, capable organizer in Avi Lewis, but what was then-leader of the NDP Jagmeet Singh going to do in response to Carney had he been re-elected? “Fight fight fight?” Work together with Carney to be doublecrossed with Conservatives and let promises be broken or delayed later anyway? Singh was indeed effective and instrumental as leader in getting Liberal concessions to economic, social and environmental justice throughout his term, but at that moment he didn’t have the right response to threats at our doorstep.

            I also understand the frustration and feeling tricked or backstabbed that Carney’s book Values isn’t fully reflective of his governance. Still, I tell many people they need to look at the full picture of what was going on at the time in early to mid- 2025, and what was at stake.
