listening to carney’s first press conference, and god damn that guy has such a right-wing policy program: cutting immigration, cracking down on criminals, deregulation, cutting government spending, more subsidies for private sector, and it goes on.

The two groups are constantly trying to gain control of the party
Sheer - Reform
O’Toole - PC
Poilevre - right of Reform
W/ Poilievre coming back to HoC it may crack the party

He seems to have some actual concern about climate change. And he is well educated and intelligent. We could have done a LOT worse.
Carney is/was the obviously best choice of the choices we had.
If we want that to change, then WE are going to have to get more involved in as many ways as possible. We're going to see how many ppl are willing to do that.
The framing of anything vaguely left as socialism gone mad has driven everything to the right
People vote for vindictive policies because that's how the world is structured and they see the status quo as better than change.
The problem isn't the label. it's the status quo.
The transition will be hard in the short term but good in the long term
There will be jobs - different ones
