Well, people wanted a palatable Liberal technocrat and that’s what they got. I don’t know what else anyone was expecting. Interesting to see how his popularity fares in the next election cycle when pressure will be on to justify all his pivoting.
I usually do what Canadians are supposed to do and vote for my member of Parliament not my Prime Minister. And I’ve even had to hold my nose and check off the conservative box during the Harper years because the member of Parliament at that time who would do the best job was conservative.
But this time I did also consider the Prime Minister role. Carney is not the idealist I truly wanted but he checked off several of the things I felt we needed right now. A very level headed pragmatic leader.
I hate the fact that somethings important to me like – the environment is being put on the back burner. I think the approach to Internet safety is being applied in the wrong direction and upon the wrong people. But my two biggest concerns From last year. – Canadian sovereignty, and Canadian stability I feel are being addressed. Happy would be the wrong words to describe it, temporarily content would be a better description. And in the meantime, I’ll still reach out to my member of Parliament to remind them that the environment is still important to me – and my continuing support is not 100% guaranteed
> St-Arnaud said there’s been a “big realization” over the past 10 years: “what I call the Reagan-Thatcher consensus — that the government should, if they want to help an industry, just give tax breaks or subsidies and move out of the way; I think most people are realizing that that doesn’t work.”
> But Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre still believes Liberal government regulation and red tape are the main stumbling blocks to unlocking free markets.
Pierre is off-side once again with his quasi-libertarian ideology.
Poilievre has a long history of political divisiveness and Carney has a short political history. At a time we need to pull together, Carney is the better choice.

I don’t understand why the headline calls it “taxpayers’ dollars”. Like, it’s government spending. It’s not actually or literally taxpayers’ dollars (though tax revenue largely enables it).
But this is true of every penny spent by the government. It’s not like some government expenditure is more taxpayer dollars than other expenditure…
