What’s wrong with that?
I’m quickly coming to notice a shift in common parlance. A few years ago there was more care to mention that there’s a distinction between right wingers (such as myself) and the far/alt right.
That distinction seems to be falling by the wayside, as the media figures that just the distinction of “right wing” will rile up left wingers and generate rage clicks.
So he’s not exactly wrong but it’s difficult to take him seriously when he ran to the right of Trudeau in exactly the kind of sleight of hand he’s accusing Carney of, and upon losing spent the next nine years bitching constantly about Trudeau. Yes, the LPC is swinging right. No, we don’t know how far right it will be in the end but it’s reasonable to assume no further than Martin/Chretien. Yes, a stronger NDP could have been a guardrail against this. But Tom Mulcair’s NDP would certainly not have been, unless he flip flopped back into Left Wing Angry Tom. The truth about Tom Mulcair, though, is that he’s characterized more by being Angry Tom than any particular politics. I look forward to at least another four years of him whining about literally everything Carney does because he’s still upset that Canadians didn’t pick him in 2015.
The whole article is about the EV mandate thing. Did anyone actually believe that was going to happen anyway? Carney may not be a radical socialist but he’s not destroying our healthcare or education or wasting our time on culture wars.
Under Trudeau, the most left wing Liberal Prime Minister this country has ever seen, the Liberals were on a bullet train to nowheresville electorally.
Carney took this party, pronounced, „Nah, we’re actually going to try and build things again after the previous 30 years of stagnation“ and delivered another strong minority government for the Liberal Party, while the NDP lost official party status.
And still all the left wing can do is bitch and k’vetch and backseat drive and pretend like the rest of the country agrees with them, but is just too stupid to know it.
It seems pretty clear, at this moment of crisis, Canadians want a centrist party that will deliver economically. They don’t want a far right party and they don’t want a left wing party. They want pragmatic ideas, not pet social causes. They want a party for the working class, not academics.
