Carney’s victory was expected. Perhaps that’s why he won. People are craving a bit of predictability. They want day to follow night, flowers to bloom in spring, American states to total 50. @steveburgess53.bsky.social writes.

Apparently they also want free market ideology to continue to reign supreme, for central bankers to set public policy, to keep expanding fossil fuel infrastructure despite climate science warning us that doing so is incompatible with human survival.
A market economy is not the same as a market society. He's a highly respected, world reknown economist & former UN Special Envoy on Climate Action & Finance. Understands the need to prepare for cost of climate change better than most on the planet. Learn about the man before jumping to conclusions
I think what is even more hilarious is that the Conservatives have had a month. Yet the best thing they could come up with was "Just like Justin" and sneaky sneaky. These braindead idiots don't understand why people are unified at all. Instead, they keep attacking and not contributing.
We don't have independent media in Canada. Almost all our media is owned by big corporations. We should require every Canadian newspaper, mag, radio and TV station to be separately and independently owned by Canadians. Social media should be one neutral public web service with no forcing algorithm.
We do, but they all use US-based platforms to host their content. The real issue is that we need more Canadian-based hosting options that can work together. Instead of being silos, all of this should be interconnected with new protocols. We need to rebuild the internet.
Choices are clear. “He is an economist. He has never bankrupted a single casino. He has never told Canadians to invest their savings in cryptocurrency.”
What's the f*cking alternative? Trumpian ass kisser Poilievre? The man's a Nazi sympathizer, he's a disaster on legs. He WANTS to be the 51st state (despite his lame efforts to convince us otherwise). Poilievre is to Canada what Damielle Smith is to Alberta! Look how that's working out!
Yep, and most of mainstream Canadian media conveniently ignored this story, as they continue to ignore the IDU, which as you rightly mention is pure evil. This omission (given both the national and global impact of the nefarious organization led by Harper) confounds me to no end.
Mark Carney is an educated professional with world calibre credentials and credibility.
A serious, principled man with real leadership abilities.
He has no bankruptcies or scandals.
He has been an advisor to both major parties.
A man of strength, honor and integrity.
He is polar opposite to Trump.
There is no way after the next four years, this Trump goes away quietly. He will find a way to hang on to his power and influence, his agenda and way of mis-doing things. He's f*cking up the world and he loves that more than anything.
I hope all Canadians see him for what he is. A good to the bone, intelligent, capable and kind man who understands that a strong economy has the power to lift everyone up. No more populism, just good old fashioned respectful leadership. Looking forward to it. Bonus track? His approach to the Don.
At this point he seems to be everything that I would want in a Canadian PM. I can’t remember the last time I was so convinced that a PM was both respectful of the economy and our pocket books and was socially progressive and understands global warming and what to do about it!
They’re number 47 and 48 in the rankings. Combined they’d move up to 41. They wouldn’t lose any house seats at that size, but we’d free up some senators.
Canadians, according to the famed spin doctor: “…want politicians who kiss babies instead of giving them measles. They want politicians who at least appear to prefer Pericles to Charles Manson. They expect insincere piety, not sincere lunacy; cynical flag-waving, not craven jackboot-licking.” 👍
I fear that he's popular now because we don't really know anything about him, and as he inevitably espouses the same tired neoliberal crap the Democrats did in 2024 people will tune out.
So far the known campaign planks are ending the carbon tax and reversing the capital gains tax hike. If you're a reactionary or wealthy, you like these things. I am neither and am thus skeptical.
We know the guy's name, yeah. We don't know what his plan is.
President Biden gave people normality, predictability, a booming economy and a dignified, humane head of state. Tens of millions of Americans showed that they care nothing for normalcy or decency by voting for a vicious idiot who happens to hate all the right people.

Business as usual all the way over the cliff.
IPCC has clearly stated that if the worst of cllimate chaos is to be avoided, the world cannot build ANY new fossil fuel infrastructure.
Pipelines are literally called incompatible with human survival.
Don't be so easily gaslit.
We didn’t need a mini Trump!
