We knew what we were getting. Reform left a big gaping hole when they took over the Conservative Party and, between them and the NDP, the Liberals have enough space to be two entirely different centrists parties.
I’ll take it over Poilievre any day.
I would consider myself conservative politically, i would have preferred a blue mark carney but i dont hate what we have right now assuming he can lead the party away from the last 10 years of mis management
If he doesnt do a GREAT job in the next 4 years, i think the liberals are toast at the next election
Canadas patience is wearing thin on whats happening so not much room for error
I do think carney is more competent than PP so i wasnt devastated when the liberals won, except youre mostly voting for a party and not just a PM. Time will tell if he can drive the party in the right direction
Mark Carey was always at best a Red Tory at worst he is just a Tory running under the Liberal Party banner. Its funny, sad and depressing at the same time that Reform and PC merger has forced Mark Carney to the Grits. We need a real centre right wing party and I guarantee you that PM Carney would have ran for them and won hands down over Pierre Poilievre. Now we are left with this Reform dominated big tent party that likes to do purity tests and pushes out anybody not deemed a real conservative.
Carney is more of a „Red-Tory“… Which is essentially what Jean Chretien and Paul Martin were.
Another way of saying it is : „Conservative without the crazies“; without the social right, without the religious right, without the Libertarians, without the conspiracy theorists, without the „maple MAGA“ and without the racists.
He and Ford are basically pursuing the same pro-growth and development policies and trying to contend with the „No“ culture that has come to influence so many First Nations dealings.
These policies are popular with pretty much everybody who wants to get shit done in this country.
So far so good. Killed one tax and lowered another. Strengthened border security. Getting rid of duplication by getting out of the areas that rightfully belongs to the provinces.
All that without resulting to juvenile name calling, intolerance and showboating. I like my government to be straightforward with no drama. Not interested in the circus that’s the USA.
Carney could’ve run as a PC with the exact same campaign 20 years ago (or 10 years ago as CPC) and conservative voters would’ve elected him in a heartbeat.
The only reason he’s getting flak from them right now is because he ran for the LPC and hyperpartisanship dictates that you must hate the other side no matter how illogical or misdirected the hate might be.
Really? Someone should tell the astroturfers in the employ of the CPC, over at rCanada.
They’re acting like the election is still ongoing, and the more they astroturf, the greater the chance of Pierre winning his seat… or something
