Sounds good!

OK, well, it really seemed like you were defending the PM’s policy direction. Even as I re-read what you wrote, I’m struggling to find an alternative explanation.

Anyway if the political game is to pander to what people are demanding, then isn’t it the role of the people to be vocal about what they want?

If you are as worried about Bills C-5 and C-2 as you say, then why defend the PM being nice to Premier Smith, who many Liberals were literally calling a traitor just a couple months ago?

Why defend the PM being nice to Doug Ford, who is trying to ram through anti-democratic “special economic zones” legislation in Ontario’s Bill 5?

This is the LinkedIn post, which makes me even more sure you’re following me around lmao

Ah, I see, you’re OK with it because you like the policy.

My original post didn’t say it was concerning though, so I’m not sure why you responded as though it did.

Edit: also, you seem to be following me around different Lemmy communities with a 3-hour-old account. Any reason for that?

I find it interesting you are so fixated on the pancake aspect when the piece is (to me at least) quite clearly about the PM’s personality, and how it parallels his policy and actions.

Thanks for pointing out the broken link, I’ll correct that

Edit: that link seems to be working again, but it did take a while to load, weird

It doesn’t worry you that the PM is pandering to that right-leaning audience, rather than standing up for things like climate action?

Curious if you clicked any of the dozen links that back up the claims made in the piece?

Thanks for reading!

Oh, lol, I’ll take some blame there too, I maybe should have hyphenated ‘right-wing’

Worth asking what exactly they’re collaborating on then, right? Just a couple days ago, ministers from those same two provinces asked the Feds not to renew the requirements to provide safe drinking water to Indigenous communities. And the screenshot here was careful to include the word ‘pipelines’.

How would you frame the PM’s post, out of curiosity?

Tbh I’m starting to think Carney is worse, if only because so many Liberal supporters are unwilling to criticize his actions, despite how much they align with Conservatives’ goals.

If Poilievre was the one ramming through things like Bill C-5, these same folks would be livid!

If you do end up reading it, I’d love to hear what you think :)

Fair point. Here’s the text that Carney wrote:

“The premiers are right on: Canada has what the world needs, and we need to get back into the business of exporting it to new markets. We’re building one united Canadian economy, and there’s more to come.”

Here’s the headline from the screenshot:

“Premiers Danielle Smith and Doug Ford agree to study new energy corridors, more trade.”

And this is the text in the screenshot, below the picture of Premiers Smith and Ford at a press conference (the screenshot is from CTV news, btw):

“The premiers of Alberta and Ontario agreed Monday to a feasibility study of new pipelines and rail lines between provinces and pledged to increase interprovincial trade of”

(Screenshot cuts off at this point)

lol yeah sorry was looking through someone else’s comment history (someone who seems quite hostile to criticism of dear leader) and found your post also getting a big pile-on from Canada’s Insufferable Liberal Hordes

and yeah it ain’t great

Thanks very much - and yeah, clearly it hit a nerve, lol

True! However, Poilievre isn’t the PM, and besides, the CPC are voting with the Liberals; when was the last time the Liberals and Conservatives were teaming up against the Bloc, NDP, and Greens?

Well, you may not have been completely right on every detail, but the way Carney’s government is going, you weren’t far off.

Yep. I’m surprised how many people can’t come to grips with the reality that Carney is like, super right-wing

Well I’m glad they ended up at least skimming the post (the first half of it, anyway), because they got to see that the piece actually agrees with their initial criticism: nobody cares if the PM is good at flipping pancakes.
