But when the next election takes place, those Liberals will be demanding that NDPers vote "strategically" for the Liberals led by the Conservative Liberal leader, Mark Carney.
Yes, of course, no doubt even in those ridings where they don't have a chance. I'm in total agreement that #ProportionalRepresentation would better represent Canadian voters. It's just going to take a lot of public pressure to make it happen.

I've said this to so many people. If you wind the clock back to when Trudeau won his first election before the more recent wave of far right populism. Would anyone have batted an eye if Carney were chosen to take over for Harper as the conservative leader? Dude is a classic conservative.
Now if only people understood the difference between social and fiscal. Yeah he's a fiscal conservative who is a social progressive. A place the conservatives used to hold before they joined with the Reform party, dropped the progressive and move to socially regressive policies.
A gay person is being beaten in front of you. What do you do? Do you help them physically, or do you say "you can do it!" From the side lines? The latter is what Mark Carney is, and it's not even marginally helpful to the oppressed.
Every election has become "the worst of two evils," but Carney put on a facade of good guy, cares for people, and pulled the "we really care," until after he was elected.
Gee, I wonder why people don't trust politicians or the government.
I expected him to lean conservative given his previous career but I really didn't see the authoritarian lean in his border bill coming. I thought he'd be focused more on ramping up trade with the EU and Asia. I feel much like Harpers bills, most of the worst parts will be struck down in our courts.
Just feels like a waste of the courts time when they put through these bills with obvious charter rights violations. Ideally I would love for the current Con party to implode if the Liberals are going to take up the PC mantle and have the NDP take up the progressive mantle.
You're assuming that people are upset that he's a fiscal conservative, but that's what many people voted for. We had nine years of left wing policies and it was time for the pendulum to swing right. It was a choice between far right and centre right.
Neoliberal. Even Chrétien and Martin embraced neoliberalism. It doesn’t work, but it’s pretty difficult to root out. The previous Liberal government tried, but the there was a lot of pushback from the maple magats, who really love their trickle-down economics.
I'm disappointed in all the non-maple-MAGA who deluded themselves into believing that this version of the Liberal Party is "progressive" to justify shifting their vote, and then tried to convince others about the Liberals' progressiveness.
Wonder what they think of Carney raising the Pride flag this week, giving money to make Pride events safer and saying Canadians can “love who they want to love”.
He understands the LGBTQ+ community is a HUGE market where there's tons of money to be made. Just like all the companies that roll out rainbow branding once a year.
You literally said Carney supports 2SLGBTQ+ because it’s a HUGE market. You also brought up companies rolling out Pride once a year to further drive home your assumption that’s it’s all for show.
The amount of copium I've seen from them is...a lot.
I knew full-well going into the election and I was absolutely not thrilled about it, but considering the other option... *sigh* It really should not be like that.

hating queers is one of a set of relatively niche issues used to create a false separation between the two (I say this as a queer person)
Gee, I wonder why people don't trust politicians or the government.
Considering the alternative option on the menu last month, and the current geopolitical climate, that distiction absolutely effing matters.
Still blows.
At least my taxes went down too and not just my bosss????
I suppose Carney won’t restrict abortions because women represent a huge market to make money and not because it’s simply the right thing to do.
I'm happy to expand if you stop making assumptions.
