It's kinda fascinating. The Liberals need Carney way, way more than he needs them. He's not invested in the future of the party and can always retire to his millions. Which makes it possible for him to do as he likes, long-term political consequences be damned.
Genuinely feels like there's been a coup within the Liberal party thanks to Carney and his bros.
Not to say Trudeau's Liberals were much better (they bought a pipeline!) but Carney is a full-blown red tory and I'm shocked more Liberals aren't outraged their party has been usurped like this.
