Exactly! We can all see the lesser of two evils, but why lie to ourselves about the reality of the situation just to make our vote feel better? Glorifying Carney and the libs only serves to make the NDP seem even less likely to win if we just pretend that Carney will save the markets AND the planet, AND Canada as a country….Maybe let’s just be objective about who he is and what our country stands for. There’s a reason we’re seen as the US’s little brother and it’s not completely unwarranted.
Carney is very obviously the lesser of two evils this election but I don’t understand why Canadians are glorifying this guy. We don’t have to glorify him just because he’s better than PP and we are allowed (and should be encouraged) to say that.
At the end of the day he’s a fiscal neo-lib who maintains the status quos but with socially approachable politics (as another commenter mentioned). Nothing is changing and we’ll still miss environmental targets and additional, meaningful promises (remember the libs promised clean drinking water on all reservations??).
Just like the promise not to arm Israel, which the CURRENT government (including Carney) are actively breaking and not addressing. Article: https://www.readthemaple.com/the-liberals-are-dodging-questions-about-a-new-israeli-arms-contract
I can see from the link you posted (Indigo) that you do not avoid brands that support Israel or are listed on BDS materials, but Canadians (still!) deserve better and can do better. Not just better for the environment, but for social services, and at minimum, maybe we can stop supporting the bombing of Palestinian children, schools, and basic infrastructure.
And yet, even a bar this low has been tripped over by the Liberals.
Just like I said in my other comment, Carney is very obviously the lesser of two evils, but we can all be a lot more objective and realistic about him and his policies. Just like Trudeau didn’t revolutionize the Libera party, I don’t think Carney will either. Again, PP is just abhorrent.
