I think it’s a valid argument to make, that rhetorically Carney is progressive but his government’s legislative actions are more conservative like Harper or Chrétien. But Poilievre is not like either of those two I compared Carney to.
If I were to name one concrete difference between how the two would govern that is based on public actions/statements and not speculation, Carney is keeping the Toronto-Quebec High Speed Rail project going through its design until its groundbreaking, where Poilievre would have cancelled it with no legitimate alternative.
Yeah that’s fair, HSR is sorely needed and im glad it hasn’t been canceled. CBC was also mentioned by vinceman and thats another positive difference. These feel like minor gains though when you look at the systematic defunding of most government services (including CBC).
I think it is reasonable to say we are better off with Carney than Poillievre, but it just does not seem significant enough to justify voting for liberal rather than NDP next time. Thats just ny opinion though
I mean, we also still have the CBC, even with criticisms against I still see value in that. Not saying I’m happy with Carney either, but still, I’d wanna ______ pp in minecraft if he was the pm.
