His pipeline rhetoric and inclusion of LNG infrastructure on the West Coast begs to differ along with no significant additions to pharmacare or dental under Health Canada. He’s still our best foreign policy PM for these times. Nuance. Political views may not align completely with yours here.

…but can and should be criticized when not acting in Canadians best long term interests and more towards those of corporate power. Absolutists can stay on X.

Just because I’m not a liberal doesn’t make me a conservative or whatever those creatures on X are. Carney has been excellent in foreign affairs but his domestic politics are historically Canadian-conservative. Canada doesn’t need more austerity at home. Carney isn’t a cartoon villain…

To no one's surprise, PM Carney has slashed business taxes even further.
Now Canada's marginal effective tax rate on new business investment will fall from roughly 13% to 6.4% - the lowest of any major economy in the world and less than half the rate in the United States.
That's not good news for Canadians. It means we get hardly any benefit from new investments -- while taking on a lot of the costs.
The newest measure - the Productivity Mega-Deduction -- is estimated to cost Canadians $36 billion
over five years.
That's a LOT of money that could otherwise go towards the services & public infrastruture that would actually benefit most of us.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere. It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

More back-sliding on climate: Carney is eliminating the Electric Vehicle Availability Standard that would have mandated 100% EVs by 2035. New target is 75% EVs by 2035, 90% by 2040 but it's not clear if not-yet-finalized policy will achieve this www.canada.ca/en/innovatio...

Donald Trump shut down the government because he doesn't want you to have healthcare. But this isn’t just on him. Democrats MUST use their leverage to protect our rights, but it can’t end there. Schumer and Jeffries can’t just go on TV or write letters, they need clear demands. We need action now.

Again, Trump uses "Radical Left" for anybody to the left of Stephen Miller so when he issues executive orders around declaring the "Radical Left" to be "terrorists" we should not pretend he isn't targeting all political opposition, no matter how many times you throw trans people under the bus.
