How can Conservatives complain about Mark Carney when he’s the most right-leaning Liberal in decades?
Killed the carbon tax, cut income taxes, supports pipelines and carbon capture, wants internal free trade and boosting military spending.
Because their ENTIRE IDENTITY is grievance politics. If they cannot have their way, and, of far greater importance, force their way on YOU, well what's the point of chewing through the gurney straps and escaping the institute every morning then?
Just as the Liberals have moved to the right with Carney, the Conservative party has moved further towards the hard-right.
Look south to the US for a taste of what sort of people I'm talking about. They care about nothing but hatred, suffering, conspiracies, and oppression.
A lot of moderate conservatives are happy with Carney though. They've been wanting someone like him for years.
Doug Ford is going to throw a wrench into things.
Because the Lib/Con duality is a farce. Team A and Team B both work for team C. Team C is all about money and power. They are both Neocons. One plays the part of the carrot, the other the stick. They ramp up or down the fear of the stick or desire for a carrot to keep 3rd parties out.
Why do the cons complain? Because it's all disingenuous! Because it's all a piece of bad theatre. Everyone knows their roles and parts to play. The words are just lines. The play sucks. The play was meant to suck. It was written to suck and the casting requires good and bad actors alike to play their characters.
It is stupid, but so are we.
Yeah, it’s like WWE but with worse scripts and higher stakes. Everyone boos and cheers on cue while Team C cashes the paychecks.
I suggest you get familiar with concept of the Overtone window and how it has been shifting to the right for the past, pffft dix decades?
If the Overton window only moved right, how did we get $10-a-day daycare, legal weed, and record climate spending?
It's moved a further right since the NDP/LPC supply and confidence agreement. The carbon tax became politically toxic. There's no serious discussion of climate action - Alberta and Trump have seen to that. We aren't talking about any kind of wealth redistribution or tax increases on the wealthy (remember the capital gains reform?). There's no discussion of serious spending to directly alleviate the housing or healthcare crisis.
It’s just Reform Party members complaining
Because they don't vote based on political policy...they vote based on political identity.
"What's the platform?", "Hating the other guys.", Modern democracy, in a nutshell.
Erin O'Toole was the most left leaving Conservative nominee in decades, if not ever. We still complained about him/the prospect of him winning, yeah?
Yep. And his own party booted him for it.
If they scrap the gun confiscation I might actually consider voting liberal in the future, don’t get me wrong here, I’m grateful we have a new PM with a different perspective but I’m very skeptical given that our current Public Safety Minister is unwilling to learn our laws and safety regulations In regard to firearm ownership.
given that our current Public Safety Minister is unwilling to learn our laws and safety regulations In regard to firearm ownership.
Bold statement given that it's his "third week on the job." But it gives a great opportunity to chortle about someone who likely never had an interest in guns past his eigth birthday not knowing what an RPAL is, as if that's the single most important subject the Minister of Safety has to deal with. Andy came in to do a hatchet job and he performed the task well.
Are they complaining? Carney's approval is so high it's gotta include some portion of conservatives who're happy with him.
Facistcapitalist media and CBC being held accountable for it’s deficit make the perfect ground to watch the dead of the 4th power, the one that was supposed to protect the peopleNothing screams ‘fascist media’ like CBC giving free airtime to every political party and taking criticism from both sides.
Power hunger
There are no more conservatives. Only fascists.
That kind of thinking helps the actual fascists.
At this rate, we’ll go from a fiscally conservative Liberal to a socially moderate Conservative and honestly, that’s probably good for Canada.
