Superpower? Alright no need to chug the Kool aid this hard, let's wait until you find a chapter where he wants to develop a nuclear triad.
He's a traditional liberal which means not all that progressive beyond what's popular socially. Good for the wealthy fiscally, and maintained decline for everyone else. If you want to see what it'll be, look at the UK while he was heading up BoE. Or any Canadian Liberal government through the 90s-00s.
Despite all this he and his party obviously remain the superior choice to PP, but let's not kid ourselves. He's not going to neolib us into utopia.
He was governor of the BoE during Brexit.... There really isn't much you can do as a governor of the national bank in such stupidity. And Canada can absolutely be a super power, our landmass, resources and technical know-how can allow us to prosper and lead on the global stage. Canada is a great example of a country of the future, where we don't rely on wars to settle differences. Carney supports childcare, dental care, boosting the GIS for seniors, pharma care, and everything the liberals did under trudeau minus the consumer carbon tax. And he's replacing it.
Canada doesn't need nuclear weapons, does Iraq ring a bell to you how the USA straight up invaded and killed hundreds of thousands of innocent people because of "rumors" of WMDs? And the weakest Intel? That kind of talk can gtfo
This seems completely uncritical of Carney and Canada for that matter. The future isn't going to be lead without force because a middle power elects a prime minister with some good ideas about markets.
We don't need to rely on wars? We rely on exploitation even without it- ask any country where our mining firms operate with lax regulation. Hell, we've participated in "coalitions of the willing" in invasions and aerial bombings for corporate giants too. Most of this country is content to think the first Nations just decided to give us the land.
I'm happy to vote for more years of basically Trudeau lite and I have no illusions about it.
Exactly! We can all see the lesser of two evils, but why lie to ourselves about the reality of the situation just to make our vote feel better? Glorifying Carney and the libs only serves to make the NDP seem even less likely to win if we just pretend that Carney will save the markets AND the planet, AND Canada as a country….Maybe let’s just be objective about who he is and what our country stands for. There’s a reason we’re seen as the US’s little brother and it’s not completely unwarranted.
