    Can’t believe a career Goldman Sachs bankster would do this.

    Beginning to suspect the Labour Party is something of a misnomer.

      There’s no Labour Party in Canada. Carney leads the Liberal Party.

          The Liberal Party is liberal in the traditional sense:

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberalism

          But the Conservative Party probably also qualifies as liberal in this sense.

          Some people, particularly many Americans, use the term “liberal” to mean left-wing or progressive. The Liberal Party of Canada is not really liberal in that sense, though they make smallish gestures towards social progressivism when it doesn’t impact capital.

    Called it.

    I remember when people were really excited about him winning, and they just kinda ignored he’s an international banker, and therefore a motherfucker.

      Carney was voted in because otherwise we would have got Pierre Poilievre, the Nazi-courting, MAGA-wannabe dweeb. It was strategic voting, not enthusiasm for Carney or the Liberals. If we weren’t stuck with first-past-the-post elections we wouldn’t be stuck with a choice between Neoliberal bankers and maple MAGA.

        but that’s not possible with what the leftists of lemmy shovel.

        you either let the nonce win, vote independent, or don’t vote at all.
