    This is the economic centrism we voted for. We all knew Carney was going to do this under the guise of national economic protections against the shifting global alliances as of late. That’s what we wanted. Right?

      I’m not sure that people voted for Carney as much as they were backed into a corner and forced to vote for him as a vote against Poilievre.

        If you were backed into a corner and forced to vote for someone in the recent election, CBC news would like to hear from you.

          Which alternative should I have chosen: Voting for who I want and letting Cons win, or not voting at all and letting Cons win.

            Well it’s up to you, but personally I tend to vote for the local candidate I’d prefer to win.

      Funny. During the election when I pointed out Carney was a conservative I was told to read his marketing material, sorry I mean book, Values which practically painted him as a social democrat.

      Kinda maybe. He can’t stay and answer the questions about his env cred with “the pipeline won’t happen.” That would undermine the PM’s charade. So ether he loses that cred, or he quits to preserve it.

        I’d argue his enviro cred was already lost when he was part of the previous government who purchased/completed the TMX. He was onboard with something that actually happened, but somehow not onboard with something that is still in pre-proposal stages.

        Weird.
