He is good at saying the right thing, and I think this was a significant speech historically. But Carney is a conservative neoliberal and will act like one. Canada needs to be forming new alliances and other countries need to realize they should do this too. He’s right about that. But internally Canada will become weaker and weaker without left social policies, and history shows that if you immiserate the people in a time of stress, you increase the appeal of fascist demagogues. Traitors like PP are standing by to take over when the people are desperate enough. Though Carney is far smarter and bolder than Keir Starmer, domestically he is taking the same risk of handing to country to the fascists by offering nothing for ordinary people who are struggling.
