This is a filthy trick by Poilievre.
If you disagree with him they’ll say you want to be soft on child porn and if you agree you’re saying it’s ok for a PM to override our charter.

This guy is a real piece of work.

I love that almost 40% of the USA population will believe this and still support this clown. Its your neighbours folks. They hate you. Half of them voted FOR and still love this guy. That's your problem. That's what you have to fix.

Majority Rule with minority protections is makes a healthy democracy. When we think like partisans and wish to govern for our own, we all lose. This is what causes incrementalism toward fascism. It's also bad governance.

I would classify Mr. Carney as a Progressive Conservative…

The left will never govern for the right and visa versa…

You have to admit for centre and centre left folks (65% of population) this is a pretty hard right turn from the Trudeau Libs. I would argue that Trudeau managed to govern for all Canadians until the anti tax psychos and a pandemic showed up. So, I guess I disagree.

If Truman had not adopted the Palestinian GENOCIDE from the British in 1946, the British electorate would have defunded it after Churchill lost the 1945 election.

REMEMBER it was the British voters who ensured India's Independence, not the British government...

How very trickle downy and conservativey. It's ok. You like the guy. Lots of folks do. I just hope that liberals realize about 25 % of the vote (the left vote) for the last 2 elections is gone. If Carney continues with what we on the left, see as conservative policy, next election is fun.

No, none of us are that stupid. What we want is for the gov to fund the social programs Canadians need. By taxing the rich to pay their share. Happens in one budget. Not that hard. Would have support across parties. Likely make Carney a hero.

A lot of short attention span Canadians don’t want a Prime Minister…

Health promises walked back in run-up to Carney’s first budget

The federal Health Minister said it’s “impossible” to release the $4B promised for health projects, for now.

I dont rely on politicians words anymore. I watch their actions. Carneys Libs are that of conservative. I expect the same. Money for big shit ideas and cuts for social services Canadians need.

Something you forgot to mention, @mark-carney.bsky.social , is that a pretty hefty chunk of that "wasteful government spending" is in the form of subsidies/tax deals to banks, the oil and gas industry, and large corporation (like GM) that do very little for Canadians.
Dump those first, eh?

Mark Carney is betting on AI infrastructure to drive Canada’s economic growth, but critics say lingering Trudeau-era policies are still discouraging outside investors who could fuel all that growth.
