Is it Carbon Tax Carney? Canapé Carney? Redistribution Carney? Right now, Canada's Conservatives can't even settle on a nickname for their likely opponent in the next federal election, much less a compelling argument against his candidacy.
Honestly I feel like Trudeau was honestly a good guy with good values and good ideas but he somehow got pushed into the Liberal party mold and was forced to toe the party line even if he was the leader. Like there are outside forces that made him change his plans.
I wanted electoral reform but I think going for it would have been a mess.
No two major parties agreed on what should replace FPTP.
If the liberals had used a majority to unilaterally rewrite our elections that sets a bad precedent (Not that precedent seems to matter much these days).

fascists worldwide have already set that precedent.

The irony is, the FPTP system is now likely going to hammer the Liberals into oblivion. Funny how that ol’ irony works.
