I'm not terribly sure how much that is going to matter given the current disposition of most of us towards American bullshittery, and by that I mean to say that bureaucratic cowardice might play into their hands, but the people of Canada aren't going to.

I also still have enough faith in our version of the democratic process to believe that if the current government's posture was (or becomes) wholly incongruent with that of the body politic, we'd rearrange it next election. The fact is that Carney's professed positions, at the time of the election at least, were aligned with ours moreso than the angry guy who lost his seat.
