To keep the US happy, Mark Carney’s Liberal government is pushing Bill C-2 — expanding surveillance, limiting refugee protections, and eroding privacy in the name of national security. It’s Canada’s own PATRIOT Act, minus the excuse of an actual attack.

    Canadians wanted it clearly by voting L again.

    As opposed to what, letting Poilevre win and do far worse? We basically elected Kamala Harris rather than Trump. Is Carney great? No. Will his damage be easier to undo than Poilievre's? Hell yes.

    A vote for Carney was largely a vote against Poilievre. There were clear indications of that being the case, to the point where the Liberals fielded a candidate whose biggest draw was essentially, "I'm not Pierre." And if it was clear enough to them, maybe the CPC should have taken a cue and fielded their own "I'm not Pierre."

    Canadians voted for someone who they thought was going to stand up to Trump, and they were bamboozled.

    You think Poilievre would have done a better job of standing up to Trump?

    Oh absolutely not, but it still stings. Dude tricked all of Canada into thinking he had a semblance of a backbone. At least we would've seen it coming with PP.
