The reality is that the next federal election will not save us, and regardless of what you think of my writing, you certainly know this deep down. Even a Carney reprieve is unlikely to stave off an even more rabid Conservative party in the next election after this one. But if we aren’t clear-eyed about what is happening, then we sure as hell cannot see where we’re going. And to have a banker, a CEO’s man in the office of Prime Minister, it is going to bring with it a world of challenges that near certainly will pave the road for someone worse than Poilievre.
Finally some leftist critique of what’s been going on with the Liberal party lately. I feel like everyone got so swept up in the fervour of “oh my god, the Conservatives might not win a landslide this election, this is a miracle!” that they forgot that electing someone further to the right of Trudeau in an already centrist party is no win for leftists.
