The UK is a low bar imo
Canada does not have UK pathology (Brexit fallout migrant crisis, great power nostalgia etc pushing electorate rightwd). Starmer is also an extremely weak leader, which is not Carney’s issue.
Carney is an arrogant technocrat. I dread him being Macron far more.

I’m far more pragmatic than most progressives on much of this stuff and this is grating to me

Excuse me if I don’t take everything lying down. Rolling back environmental protections, brazenly lying about military spending ($40B more than promised), rolling back taxes on billionaires… the US being trash doesn’t grant the PM 0 accountability

… so you want me to vote for him, but expect nothing in exchange for my vote. Guess I’m just to be a rube?
If Mark Carney wants to reforge the Canada with my support, he needs to reforge it with my values. Otherwise go convince some conservative voters.
Pragmatism only goes so far.

The “pivot the centre left party right” strat has not worked anywhere in the last 10 years globally. Centre right voters arent going to replace progressives in numbers and Carney is going to come out of an acrimonious fight with progressives completely shattered in BC and Quebec

As usual, we vote for the centrists in droves out of pragmatism and are discarded after we are useful. I get the vibe we’re just to take the crumbs we get and be happy with this govt

What you’re saying is true but you are ignoring politics. Progressives have been sidelined by this govt and have gotten nothing to show for it. Where is our quid pro quo? The business community, oil sector and centrists sure have the prime minister’s attention.
When does he speak to us?

I think the fools errand here is thinking that this Albertan govt are negotiating in good faith. They are greedy and corrupt. They will renege. All that Carney will be left with is the proof that he can be made to compromise on his values.

This could and should cause a schism in the liberal caucus. As written, this deal is a multibillion dollar pram toy to keep the corrupt and industry captured toddlers running Alberta happy and on side. Carbon capture as a tech has no value but pacifying oil barons.

We’re watching a shift where AI simulates the cohesion and reinforcement that used to require an entire online community. A single person can now build a complete parallel reality with nothing more than a prompt window. Which seems bad.

This article is so good that it’s inspirational and makes me want to write myself lol
It’s probably not just the article to be fair; the net effect of reading lopatto articles over time imo is to see writing as a beautiful vocation.

I’ve soured on a Ezra over the last few months for the Kirk stuff just like you. He’s not a Epstein defender though. Like come on.

As to being politically homeless, imo left of centre voters can and will just swing back to the NDP if Carney governs to far to the right. He is taking people who care about climate change for granted with this budget at the very least.

I’m not so sure he can. I will be surprised if he can keep his caucus together, much less convince enough other parties to vote for the bill.
He has 0 margin for error wrt the votes.
