She's 100% correct here, I've seen it myself in discussions here on Lemmy too. Any criticisms of Carney and his policies are met with accusations of American support by people who appear to view politics like a zero-sum game.

    Originally Bill C-2, which was defeated, so now they're trying Bill C-22 and are trying to bypass the process. They did it immediately, too.

    It is bullshit. I voted for Carney to AVOID shit like that!

  • I know. Whenever I criticize Carney, I get told I'm a conservative fascist, as if the Conservative party was the only other option. I'm a member of the NDP for crying out loud. Carney is a small 'c' conservative and a lot of the policies he puts in place, or intends to, are damaging for Canada, and especially it's environment and working class. But noooo. You can't criticize the man because apparently he's the only saviour to conservatives?

    As Cory Doctorow said: I'm a firm believer in Carneyism. I just wish Mark Carney was too.

    (The things he says are great. His actions don't always match up to that.)

    Mark Carney peaked at 46% of public support. He is pushing for privatization of our airports and Canada Post.

    He has went silent on Pharmacare despite it being in his 2025 liberal platform.

    He's showing around 70% approval.

    Your information might be old.

    On this one I have to disagree he has publicly stated support for airport privatization.

    On Pharmacare we need him to clarify his position and soon as that expansion, if tied to increasing Canadian generic drug production, could both be a lifeline to people without coverage but also a boon for our generic drug manufacturers e.g Apotex Jamp Mint Odan etc. We have one of the largest generic drug manufacturing capacities in the world and without the quality issues that plague India - we should be expanding that. No reason we can’t expand generic production and tie it to federal pharmacare expansion.

    Everything Carney is doing makes a lot of sense if you consider he cares deeply about the well being of average wealthy Canadians.

    I've been referring to him as a 2008 Conservative

    I wish the NDP had a competitive position. Would love to see a true coalition where the parties needed eachother to actually agree and not just rubber stamp a different type of crazy.

    Fingers crossed they can take advantage of their momentum and the PC's loss thereof!

    Historically, the NDP's have been quite useful in coalitions, they know how to put pressure on the other parties.
