We all knew it, the alternative was a dumb fuck hell bent on dividing the country

Best intermediate technological solution while demand keeps increasing. Fossil fuels aren’t going away any time soon, so any investment around CCU and alternatives, together with societal change, will be very welcome.

People here lean left more than most other places. Carney is, without a doubt, more right leaning than Trudeau, who many already struggled with his neolib policies. Shifting FURTHER into those policies isn't going to make this place like him

Some people hate Carney becauae PP's not PM. We hate Carney because of (some of) the shit he does. We're not the same.jpg

Also plenty of us voted for him and some contributed to his campaign. Even tho we did not expect much more than blocking PP, we still salty when he shits on unions or lays off wildfire experts.

We sr enot hating on him. We are hating his objective evil actions

I don't "hate" Mark Carney. This isn't personal. What I hate is many of his policies.

I couldn't give a shit and he comes off as insincere.

It seems like these people have a particular level of privilege not awarded to others.

Lemmy seems to attract a level of outcast which enables more extreme views.

It also seems to attract a level of extremism.

HE’S AN ASSHOLE

Pay more attention.

If Carney cared about the Canadian economy.

1. He'd seize and rebuild the refineries that Brian Mulroney(also a fiscal con) allowed to be moved to Washington State. As it is, US oil companies get to sell our raw product offshore and worse, then sell it back to us. BC communities assume a risk of annihilation for zero benefit.
2. He'd put oil pipelines to Ontario/New Bruinswick/Nova Scotia with the intent of shipping oil to Europe. You know, a market that actually wants and needs more.
3. He'd tell the US lumber lobby to pound sand and help rural BC instead of them being ignored by all except the reform party crazies.

Carney is a fiscal conservative, so let’s get that straight. His concerns are Canadian independence, sovereignty and growth

for the 1% wealthy Canadians...

Now… with that said, I’m sure he does care about the climate, but it totally takes a back seat to these other issues which he sees as being essentially existential.

Then he doesn't care... that is like saying "I care about my second son but will pay no mind to him while my first one needs literally anything". "Business growth" will never take a back seat, and it will never not need tax cuts for the rich or austerity for the poor

If he cared about sovereignty, he wouldn't entertain Alberta separatism and should try to call it out for what it is.

Mark's concerns are the bottom line. Always have been. Guy's net worth is 10mil - i don't think he even knows what the average Canadian (i.e. 1/4 go hungry) even feel.

His only concern is serving the coorporates

This kind of approach is why the NDP hasn't had any presence in Ontario for years. Many people took the attitude of "I'll never vote NDP again" because of Bob Rae. Guess what.... Different people can have different ideas and priorities, even if they belong to the same political party.

So you'd prefer PP?

He is a banker.
