As the title says, you NEED to go read this guy's book if you were ever unsure about who he is as a person and if he is progressive. I started reading this yesterday and am almost a third of the way through already. The way he explains markets and economics and how they can be utilized to fight climate change and our biggest issues is fascinating.

So far I can see that this man is legit and he wants to see Canada leading the world economically and morally. We have a golden opportunity here and any fiscal conservative should see this guy as the number one guy for the job. We had our time with Trudeau laying the foundation for a lot of social justice for the next quarter century, and now Carney is here to focus more on the economy and scale it to make us a global super power. Never before have I found economics so interesting and this book of his is really opening my eyes about the history and functions of markets.

Ok, off I go to continue!

Superpower? Alright no need to chug the Kool aid this hard, let's wait until you find a chapter where he wants to develop a nuclear triad.

He's a traditional liberal which means not all that progressive beyond what's popular socially. Good for the wealthy fiscally, and maintained decline for everyone else. If you want to see what it'll be, look at the UK while he was heading up BoE. Or any Canadian Liberal government through the 90s-00s.

Despite all this he and his party obviously remain the superior choice to PP, but let's not kid ourselves. He's not going to neolib us into utopia.

I’ll take another four years of neolib liberal assholes fucking us, but only because of the Americans threatening to make us part of America and seeing the con candidates be all hot and horny for helping them. I fucking hate strategic voting but I’ll do it before letting burgerlanders control us.

I hate it too. But goddamn we will be so much better off with the liberals at the helm then the conservatives. They are actively ruining their image for decades to come with all this bullshit and being similar to the USA conservatives (who are batshit insane). And with the conservatives coming out guns blazing with tax cuts, spening promises and protecting all the programs the liberals and NDP put into place (dental, pharma and childcare) when they voted hard against it....

Yeah, I mean I’ll do it, but I’m going to fucking complain the entire time.

As you and the rest of us should to any politician. The most important thing about not voting for Pierre is that he has openly stated that he is not against using the not withstanding clause nationally just like the other conservative premiers across the country. For shit that isn't a national emergency at all
