“Carney has admitted that Canada is abandoning its 2030 emissions reductions targets, telling Canadians we can’t afford to take the kind of bold climate action that would allow us to meet them. Carney is also actively embracing artificial intelligence — despite its thirst for water and energy — and peeling back protections that keep endangered…

A country that doesn’t own its own infrastructure can‘t be considered sovereign. A country that doesn’t control its ports can’t be sovereign. A country that doesn’t own, control and properly benefit from its resources is a country that can’t be sovereign. A country that depends on outside money to get its projects done is a country that has been…

I mean over time. I think people get an idea of what a party stands for but as political priorities change, a lot of voters still keep the old idea. From wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_Conservative_Party_of_Ontario): During its uninterrupted governance from 1943 to 1985 known as the Big Blue Machine, the Ontario PC Party…

Carney is selling off what remains of # Canada to a group of capitalists (mostly American) who don't even like what is (supposedly) one of capitalism's core values: competition. https:// breachmedia.ca/mark-carneys-in vestment-summit-could-pave-the-way-to-a-corporate-carve-up-of-canada/ Here's the PM's former employer on why buying public…

Yep that's a good summary. Ultimately it's about how our country was formed as a confederation where provinces were granted a huge amount of individual power and legal autonomy to induce them to join the nation. They have used that constitutional authority to try to favour their own local interests at the expense of everyone else's from the…

"The prime minister’s agenda has currently set him on a path to trample on rights, destroy ecosystems and retreat in the fight against climate change. He wants this to be seen through a lens of doing what’s necessary to unite the country in the face of U.S. aggression — but who is left out of that vision?" https:// thetyee.ca/Opinion/2026/09/11/…

Lots of possible options and new issues for sure, definitely not simple. But I think we can do a lot better than a system where a right-wing party who historically gets about 30-40% of the popular vote is always in striking distance of a majority government, despite the fact that the majority of the country consistently votes for left/centre-left…

Mark Carney says his glitzy investment summit will attract major capital to Canada. But as Nik Barry-Shaw & Marin Lukacs write, what Carney may be putting on the table is Canada itself—and a fire-sale of the country’s essential public infrastructure. https:// breachmedia.ca/mark-carneys-in…

Fiscally conservative? A 66 billion dollar deficit isn't conservative. He is a tax and spend liberal not a conservative. Maybe if he balances the budget, I will consider him fiscally conservative. I would say he is more conservative fiscally than Trudeau except I don't think Trudeau actually had a fiscal policy, beyond making announcements, to be…

Except he ran on exactly this. The situation with the US puts us in a situation where Government support is needed as we try to navigate dealing with the Trump administration. PP ran on the same thing, though his budget claimed to be a lot lower - but that was only the case because the Cons intentionally mispriced and "overlooked" a lot of the…

The pining for O'toole is hilarious. Before him they screamed for someone like him. Then when they got him they called him Trump. After he was gone suddenly they all actually loved him. What I find funny is those 25% of people who still supported Trudeau jumping easily onto the Carney bandwagon. As if they were even remotely the same.

It's absolutely true, and represents what the majority of Canadians want to see in a leader - fiscal conservative, mature adult presenting, and socially not-insane.
-
Given Poilievre was a minister responsible for housing under the Conservatives and did little there, I'm not sure you really want to play that game.
-
I was just thinking politicians. He's not a head of state but he is insanely popular. Mayor of New York is nothing to scoff at though.
-
Remember the good ol' days when your choice between the two governing parties was Blue Grit vs Red Tory.

I think Wab Kinew might be more popular, but it's been a while since I checked the figures.

“The tax regime / CRA is a problem” is a statement I think everyone can agree with
