Carney's record so far? - Capitulation on first big stand-off w/Trump - Border bill with major rights & privacy issues - A new law that spits on Indigenous rights - Another bill giving political parties immunity from privacy rights Poilievre would probably be doing worse, but that ain't saying much.

Because Drumpf used the excuse of our border to hit us with tariffs, Carney folded & hasn't stopped folding. Maybe we'll get a trade/defence agreement out of it, with Drumpf's worthless signature. Why would we want the golden dome idiocy or trade with them?

Alberta announcing tax cuts is a death knell for our public institutions like education and healthcare - another blatant push to blow it all up in order to push for privatization. But most Albertans cannot link the two, unaware of division of powers. They'll still blame Trudeau.

The second component of this bill, Carney says, enables the federal government to "identify and expedite nation-building projects." Two very big, separate topics in one bill. Two massive pieces of legislation in one week. This is gonna be a hard government to keep on top of (and hold accountable)
Image shows the Legisinfo page for Bill C-5, "An Act to enact the Free Trade and Labour Mobility in Canada Act and the Building Canada Act," which has the short title "One Canadian Economy Act."

It also says "the text of this bill is not available."
