thinking that working Canadians give a crap about Mark Carney - he has shown he is sooo out of touch
I think this is a serious problem with all the Carney sycophancy. I’ve tried to tease out what he’d be like at the helm from some interviews I’ve seen with him. What I’ve figured is that he’s very much into finding solutions using markets but I don’t think he’s a free market fundamentalist. That puts him right where the current LPC thought is, which is in the words of Comr. Dyatlov - not great, not terrible. Unfortunately we need better than that because our current trend isn’t a positive one for the working class.
With all that said I don’t know where Freeland sits. I wouldn’t be surprised for her to ideologically close to Carney given they’re close.
Interesting insights, thanks for sharing! I’m not as savvy as you are in this area but I thought about this more today. I believe Freeland to be pretty similar to Trudeau policy-wise, and Freeland is perhaps seizing an opportunity to lay the groundwork to distinguish herself as fiscally prudent for later leadership bids. All that’s to say, I’m not excited about the idea of Freeland taking over for Trudeau. I hope she just stirs things and motivates the LPC to consider more attractive candidates

I don’t know if I’m savvy, I’m just trying to read the tea leaves just like you. 😅
This is where I am too.
