Poilievre looking around displeased at her standing ovation and while she was speaking French was telling. I found her statements to please her base not exactly „unity“ signalling.
Of course she didn’t mention Carney by name, he is actually working with her to get a pipeline project on the go. They are being effective at working together behind the scenes allowing each to appeal to their respective bases.
JT and the Liberals over the last decade destroyed the relationship between Alberta and Ottawa. I think (hope) we’re going to see that quickly rebound here with some positive action from the Carney Liberals. If he can get a privately funded pipeline (or two) on the go then their support will dramatically climb in Alberta.
Its a interesting dynamic and to be frank they both cant occupy the same space .
Danielle has positioned herself in a much better situation then Pierre.
I just dont see any scenario for Pierre to win and I dont see any leaders from any brand across the country willing to put their name next to his .
Smith simply needs to maintain conflict optics but shes also in position to win from success with Carney. She’s allowed space for Carney to detach from the previous Liberals deliberately.
Pierre has taken refuge in Smiths safe place , problem is he can not maintain in that space and take swing votes away from Carney at the same time .
The CPC and UPC have long taken swing votes by the notion of economics alone , Pierre will take a very big hit if he starts loosing economic votes .
I live in blue blood country, the center votes default to economics and to be frank I know alot of people employed by company’s linked to brookfeild who are catching signals from there corporate leaders that the liberate are now backing their growth now .
Carney is providing paths to productivity with out creating much socail discourse.. Think about what has been achieved in pushing the boundaries to what moderate Canadians would support from even a year ago .
There is alot money moving into spaces that wont want to see the direction Carney has set disrupted.
Indigenous, oil and gas production , midstream , manufacturing, private construction corporations and construction unions are all very deep in major closed doors talks with the liberal government along with every Premier and countless foreign trade diplomats.
You can scream +80% all day and listen to the noise , but for me its silence that tells me money is about to start changing hands in very big ways .
I think its pretty comical this whole shovels in the ground thing . The boom comes in the investments before the project sees the dirt . That’s when money is realesed and investments are made from the top /down by major investors to small buisness’s.
