I expected Carney to build a bridge with the conservatives as the logical way to diffuse the western alienation tension and refocus on Canada as a whole. Renewing the coalition with the NDP and ignoring the votes for the Cons would have been political suicide.
I did not, however, expect him to swing this far right this quickly. I was expecting more of a sampler platter of pulling votes from different parties for different bills.
I really hope the NDP get their shit together. Progressive voices are needed more than ever right now 😞
That's interesting. I didn't predict an alliance with the conservatives- so you saw something I did not. What disturbs me more that right vs left (politicians do have to bend to the mood of the public of course) is the break from democratic norms. I'm still puzzling over that.

All I can think is that he's acting like a CEO because 'efficiency.' But democracy and CEO don't go together 🫤
