If Albertan Separatists could read, they’d realize that Carney is pretty much a conservative with his policies.
Justin Trudeau’s primary legacy is keeping the Liberal party alive as a party of government, and Carney appears to be making moves to ensure that wasn’t a waste of time. Besides, a lot of Trudeau’s actual impactful changes, like childcare, have been preserved.
On climate I think the change is overblown. The electric vehicle mandate was never going to happen because the supply simply isn’t there, it was going to have to be dropped or moved back significantly, and we’ve now moved to an emissions controlling system like the one they have in horrible, oil-guzzling places like…. Western Europe?
Let’s also remember that Trudeau bought an oil pipeline for Alberta, so Carney making similar moves isn’t a volte-face. The carbon tax is a fairly big shift I’ll give them that, but it was politically dead long before Trudeau left.
Trudeau was the king of making announcements and then not doing anything about implementing them. I don’t think announcements count as legacy. If anything the largest change is one of tone.
I disagree with this article.
Trudeau’s legacy was always going to be his political significance, legalization of weed, and expansion of social programs, especially for children
Carney has undone none of that
It’s funny – this looks almost *exactly* like a list of domestic accomplishments the Conservatives could have touted had they won…and been subsequently excoriated by the Liberal Party for it.
Slashing immigration, cancelling the carbon tax/capital gains hike, canning environmental programs and building a pipeline? Eighteen months ago Liberal MPs would have been screaming from the rooftops that these were the actions of a far-right monster.
I kid, but I don’t think Trudeau’s legacy in Canada will be a positive one, and I’m quite happy to see Carney turning the page as quickly as he can on it.
I like the scrapping of the DST and the Capital Gains Tax and the support for O&G industry development. The scrapping of the EV mandate makes sense only if we incentivize EVs, invest in charging infrastructure, and allow more cheap EVs from China. The scrapping of the Greener Homes Grant is a mistake. Eliminating the Carbon Tax is a mistake too, but politically it was untenable, so not going to blame him for that. Reducing immigration targets is a mistake too and would harm our long term prosperity.
Is he? Trudeau’s largest policy achievements,namely legal marijuana, Canada Child Benefit, and affordable childcare are still very much up and running. Not to mention the country as a whole is more feminist despite social media, red pill slop coming out of the US.
I wouldn’t say he’s undoing it, he’s just taken a path that’s more or less orthogonal to the direction of Trudeau’s Liberals.
Are they actually, though?
Indigenous Settlements, the CCB, daycare, and reforms to judicial and senate appointmenrs all seem like far bigger pillars of that legacy to me.
Right now, none are being touched.
This happens under every western system. Some “progressive” puts in a bunch of programs and then the “common sense conservative” comes in to undo it all. Rinse and repeat
Trudeau had potential to be a transformative leader and drive ahead electoral reform, but when the hard work came he didn’t have the stomach for it. When corrupt companies got into trouble, he knifed members of his inner circle to undermine the law and help those companies avoid accountability. His legislative agenda was mostly a hot mess. Such an incredible disappointment. He ultimately failed to support sensible regulation that promoted responsible growth and instead drove investment out of Canada. We are very lucky he is no longer in charge.
