While it's good that the conservative party is shrinking, it also means that the liberals are becoming solidly right wing

And hopefully people realize and start fucking voting ndp

☝️☝️☝️

And we just did our job to make sure NDP is unambiguously left.

They always were

I honestly don't know what Carney is doing. She is a vaccine skeptic and socially conservative on many issues.

[-] prodigalsorcerer@lemmy.ca 16 points 19 hours ago

Economically, she's pretty close to Carney, and she's also argued in favour of the environment against the Conservatives before. She'd probably fit in with the Greens, especially during May's "wifi causes cancer" days.

Yeah, the vaccine stuff is pretty bad, but presumably she won't be in a position to influence that sort of policy (and hopefully Canada won't be in a position where we need to think about that sort of policy).

That's...A crazy reach. Gladu is a reactionary who definitely fit very well in the CPC. This is like if Leslyn Lewis or Rachel Thomas or someone like that crossed the floor.

You know, there's a noticeable contingent of vaguely right-wing hippies in rural Alberta, but I've never heard of it happening in Ottawa.

Looks like he wants to eke out a majority rather than calling a general election. Personally i think he'd win a comfortable majority and gain better candidates, but polling has probably shown people aren't wanting to go to the polls so soon. Otherwise i don't see why he wouldn't, he's decimating the cons in popularity.

Push forward economic policies is my thought. Also, even though she voted for Pierre to lead tge Cons. She believes he can't lead Canada in her words. So maybe its looking a gift horse in the mouth situation for Carney.

[-] CanadaPlus@futurology.today 6 points 19 hours ago

Really? Hmm, I wonder is it actually was just in hope of goodies, then.

PP is far, far better if that's what you want. Carney basically agrees with Trudeau and Avi Lewis on "do vaccines work" (unless Avi in an antivaxxer), and is at least very close on social issues.

[-] patatas@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 hours ago

Honestly it's probably not out of the question that Carney is a secret anti-vaxxer, given his openly religious rhetoric recently.

[-] grte@lemmy.ca 2 points 14 hours ago

Turns out the only thing Carney values is power. Was that in his book?

[-] patatas@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 hours ago

no, but in retrospect, helping him gain power was probably its true purpose

@RandAlThor@lemmy.ca @relay@relay.mycrowd.ca And…three? byelections in the works.
