Carney is running to the Conservatives for support more than he is the NDP. There's a lot to criticize him for from the left. Whereas the right has got three tax cuts and a promise to hugely increase the military budget in just a few months of this government.

Happy Canada Day to you all.

Between selling out Canada's sovereignty and the NATO target he's doing a lot of appeasing. I don't think he deserves all the grace you're giving him.

Canada's sovereignty means that little to you? Your elected representative just got overruled by a foreign leader.

I really don't care what the trade deal looks like, letting the US president dictate Canada's internal tax policy is a bridge too far for me.

I don't agree, but even if I grant it do you feel great about a hostile foreign leader dictating your country's laws? The DST was finished legislation, legally passed by Canadian's elected representatives. And now it's gone. Because Trump says so.

Carney sure seems like he's in a hurry to use any excuse to cut a tax. Letting Trump dictate Canada's internal policy is one hell of a win to give away.

So that's three taxes cut and a promise to increase the share of the national budget spent on the military to 30~%. One of the tax cuts and the military spending target being direct capitulations to Trump. Great start. What's next, we end national health care and open the Canadian market to US health insurance companies?

Boy, the moment this guy didn't have an election to win he tied those elbows right to his sides, huh?

They want to feed Alberta's pension fund into the O&G industry.

From the guy who brought you the idea that there will be few covid cases if you don't test for them, now you get there are no hurricanes if you don't look at them.

I wonder what all the people who shamed 3rd party voters will say if establishment Democrats start throwing their support behind an independent Cuomo.
