And slowly but surely, this will push the Conservatives right out of whatever centre they still occupied and firmly into the distinct right/far-right.
As per usual the Liberals have outflanked, borrowed (and stolen), and overall proved being flexible is the enduring characteristic for a party to be the „natural governing party“.
Also anyone that expected different from Carney had their head in the clouds anyhow.
I think it may be worth discussing the difference between a progressive conservative and a conservative progressive. Blue Grit vs Red Tory seems like an increasingly important distinction.
We like to look at the old PCs through rosey glasses, but they weren’t **that** different from our modern CPC.
Yeah, he is a centrist.
I don’t understand the need to write multiple articles about this. Did people expect an NDP platform when they were voting for him?
I’ve been seeing so many similar pieces come out over the last week that it feels suspicious. I’m trying to figure out if some conservatives are trying to prepare the ground to make it more palatable to support what Carney is doing (because he’s doing many things conservatives like), or whether they’re trying to say that he’s owning the progressive conservative territory to force the party further right.
Why do people, and our national media, romanticize a party that was only in power for 16 of the last 60 years of the 20th Century, and collapsed down to 2 seats in 1993?
I think Carney has a lot more in common with Louis St. Laurent, Mike Pearson, and Jean Chretien than he does with John Diefenbaker.
Can we stop pretending a party Canadians soundly rejected was some political juggernaut that did any good for this country?
