      Exactly, he campaigned as a 90s Liberal, we get a 90s-style Liberal leader and he did crib PP’s notes directly in his 2025 campaign.

      I have said about Harris in the US election that she will listen to a progressive chorus of voices, if they speak up in unison, to steer her in the right direction, whereas Trump gives no fucks about anyone else.

      Similarly I don’t regret my Liberal vote to avoid PP, but I will support Mr. Lewis’ message and write my MP regularly, because it will percolate to the Liberals in one way or the other.

      And I invite people to look at this thread to see where the NDP was even before the election was called. Mr. Singh there was trying to campaign towards the centre, Harris style. No wonder they lost out on SW Ontario and Vancouver Island vote-splits. With all due respect, I’m noticing recently people are retconning what was happening and making fanfiction in their head on what the NDP could have been at the time.

          I kept saying that everyone all through the last election … everyone kept thinking ‘hey let’s elect this person to represent the people because he spent his entire career representing banks, money, wealth and finance’

    With the collapse of the NDP they’re free to shift right and de-mask to a higher degree.

    What are you going to do, vote conservative?

      That last point is so important. If everyone who went independent in the 2024 US election voted dem, the world would have been spared trump. Regardless of your principles, you can’t argue Trump is the better result with a straight face.

        Conversely, if everyone who flipped from NDP to Lib in the last election had stood their ground, we’d have a much healthier minority Liberal government right now.

    I like Carney but I was always secretly afraid that, as charismatic as he is, the best he can do is turn the money knobs of old. We need more, dare I say it, socialist policies to protect the land and the people, not to generate capital.

    Once an executive, always an executive. Leech your way to the top until you can be as slimy as you want.

    Bankers gonna bank. The liberals only have a majority because Trump said the quiet part out loud.
