    You’re right, he has been doing a TON of things:

    • dropping the DST for his tech oligarch pals
    • cancelling the capital gains hike for his wealthy friends
    • dismantling much of Canada’s already-insufficient climate policy including scrapping anti-greenwashing rules
    • promising to nearly triple the military budget while continuing to procure F-35s
    • slashing funding for science and health research, the CRA, Indigenous-specific programs, weather alerting systems
    • cutting the CBC’s funding despite campaigning on doing the opposite
    • trying to drown Canada Post in a bathtub
    • pushing for gas-powered AI data centres
    • giving federal cabinet ministers extraordinary powers to exempt corporations from laws
    • freezing provincial health transfers, effectively making cuts when inflation & population growth are considered.

    Wow! So efficient!

      You forgot that he’s getting us trade deals with countries all over, decreasing our reliance on the US.

      It’s fine to criticize, but at least try to be less obviously biased.

        Exactly, which is why it pains me so much to see people cheering Carney for not being Poilievre, a bar he isn’t even clearing, other than aesthetically
