We did, that was the whole point

The Liberals are the old Conservatives and the Conservatives are the Reform Party

I mean in a sense we got the Canadian version of Harris-mini in place of Trump-mini, a Bill Clinton, or in our terms a Paul Martin type. We avoided the mistake our neighbours made, thanks to a glimpse of the consequences.

That said, I am still confident that with enough attention paid to resistance movements, Carney's Liberals will be able to turn it around. Liberals aren't always conservative or progressive, all the time. There's ebb and flow, give and take.

So I'm not saying "relax, everything's fine" but it's not "the sky is falling" panic situation either. Targeted action, supporting progressive bills and protesting regressive bills is what we as Canadians to do to deliver the federal government we asked for.

When something seems too good to be true, it usually is. Carney definitely seemed to be entering that territory in the run up to the election, so I've always reserved some suspicion. At this point if they form a coalition government with the conservatives, as laughable as that idea seems, then we know we've definitely been had.
