Carney is still a neoliberal though. His government is pushing for more tech surveillance.

My read is that just like only Nixon could go to China, only Carney could put his foot down for a post-unipolar order.

This isn't about praising him but about understanding the geopolitics and web of international relations that we live in.

If you want a chance to impact it all in some positive way and maybe exert some degree of leverage on these fucks, organize with the NDP.

I have a long list of complaints about the Carney "Liberals" (more like a PC party, imho), but his government leaning on his connections with European business leaders, bankers, and politicians to pivot away from America is exactly what I was hoping we'd get from this government. His Middle Powers speech was exactly the right message.

The US is in decline, and they are no longer a dependable ally. We also don't want to lurch to a new geopolitical order dominated by China, or any single country, for that matter. By working together, we can keep economic and social progress despite the collapse of American hegemony and, hopefully, come out on the other side of this with a more stable world.

But, Jesus Christ, Carney's government is making a mess of a lot of things domestically, eh? Still better than PP, but only because they aren't completely socially regressive in addition to being ruinously neoliberal.

We didn't elect him for what he was. We elected him for what he was not. He was not Pierre Polievra or Harper or oToole . And he's doing VERY well at not being them.

Sorry, but he's just not Poillievre. Whether he's Harper or O'Toole tho, shrug. Indigenous leaders and MPs, including those in the Liberal party, have literally said that Carney's approach to push policies in parliament is reminiscentof Harper, and some have gone so far to say it'd make Harper blush.

So sorry buddy. Idk if Carney's "doing VERY well at not being them".
