I’m actually shocked that the Liberals got in again. Nice to see that our voting blocks still don’t want to be bending the knee to US fascists. But yes, I don’t foresee that lasting past next election. That being said I’ve been wrong before.
If whoever's president in 2029 threatens to invade again that'd probably do it, though the conservatives have 4 years to come up with propaganda suggesting they're anti-Trump as opposed to getting caught unaware this time. Outside of that though, I can't see Carney being materially different from Trudeau, and if the government fails to address people's concerns, they will lose long-term. Very classic liberalism.
Carney is a conservative (was in Harper's cabinet, was a banker in UK and US and is friend with Ghislaine Maxwell) and the canadian public got played by the old 'jangle keys in front of them' into voting for a wolf hoping to keep the bear out. He's now about to sell off a shitload of natural ressources to trump, because he was his chosen plant all along.
Wait he was in Harper's cabinet?
"Senior associate deputy minister" of Finance apparently. From 2004-2007, so he was actually in with the Liberals for a bit before Harper came in in 2006.
Despite the three qualifying adjectives, it looks like he actually was responsible for quite a bit of policy. I would've figured only an elected representative could become a minister, huh.
Deputy minister (even with adjectives) is a very powerful position in the Canadian federal bureaucracy.
