It’s more nuanced than that, IMHO. He was neoliberal on fiscal & economic matters, timidly progressive on environmental & climate matters, & somewhat more progressive on social issues, Indigenous rights, & DEI.

Prime Minister Carney killed off the key environmental planks

Some people tell me the Prime Minister is playing 3-D chess, and I should be patient. But the planet is on fire, and patience is at least 10 years out of date. If they are indeed playing 3-D chess, Danielle Smith is owning the board.

There is no political, economic or environmental case for even pretending to consider Northern Gateway pipeline.
Mark Carney has given a huge with to Danielle Smith while reviving the environmental conflicts of Stephen Harper.
