I think they are headshots for an acting resume. So he is upset about being a child celebrity
I voted for him. But he is still a Lib and we still need something better.
This is the way. Put out the fire before you worry about the leaky faucet.
Some people joke about Carney's lack of a "celebrity charisma", or being "too boring".
Tells you all you need to know about why the US is going through its current "historic chapter".
Better to have an economist learn how to be a politician, than a politician learn to be an economist. Too many countries allow themselves and their parliaments devolve into complete fish markets where the person talking the loudest, or getting the cheapest "gotcha" moment, are deemed to be "awesome".
Give me boring, please. "interesting times" are only good to learn about in history books, not as they happen.
May you live in interesting times is a curse, not a blessing.
I'm not gonna congratulate Canada on not completely shitting the bed. The Canadians were going to vote in a Trump-like conservative until Trump started banging on about Canada being the 51st state. If Trump kept his mouth shut, it would have been curtains for the Liberal party.
Canadians did not vote for the Liberals based on their record or policies, they voted to tell Trump to fuck off. The moment Trump is no longer a threat, the unity dies and everything swings back to the Conservatives, which isn't a good thing.
they voted to tell Trump to fuck off.
God, if only our voters did the same.
But no, let's talk about principles and genocide Joe, I'm sure that will help Gaza, that will really show them all!!!
Yeah, those guys are still pretty butthurt when you call them out. they just can't get over their righteous stupidity backfiring.
They thought they were smarter and more moral than everyone else.
Their arrogant ignorance led to them falling for a trick only slightly less old than "Hey, look over there!".

Yeah, as someone from the shit hole to the south, I was very relieved Canada didn't go in the populist, right wing, direction it was looking like. I am hoping the failure of the trump administration instigates a push back to the general trend right that has been going on in the west. My bigger, less likely hope, is that we can reflect on what happened and actually address the popularity of fascism.
I'm glad we can drop the fucking bravado and acknowledge this now. We need to in order to survive.
Yeah it was a close election. We absolutely did not reject Trump with any consensus. There's not as much to celebrate people think.
What people don't know is the Conservatives here have had a revolving door of leaders in search of a Trump-like candidate. The past several election cycles have been this way. The party has sold their soul to MAGA style politics a long time ago.
They just had the best showing ever in this election even though it was a loss. And this is with the best Trump wannabe candidate they've managed to field thus far. A belligerent authoritarian-like tyrant with zero shame. They are not going to stop this any more than the Republicans would to turn back from Trump. They may even keep the current guy even though he lost his own seat.
Canada will inevitably elect a conservative government. It's a defacto two party system. It will all go to hell. Especially if MAGA is still ruling America at the same time.
With any luck the Conservatives will split back into two parties. It's unlikely, but the splitting of the Conservatives would be a welcome surprise.
There the People Party of Canada that has been a home to those who think the Conservatives aren’t racists, transphobes and conspiracy nut jobs enough

I was watching a video of an american that lives abroad saying he is trying to get a new nationality at the country he lives at, because he thinks the country, and other countries as well, may not want americans around for much longer. He said he's afraid things may escalate. I thought that was so crazy! how fast you can go from feeling safe and privileged to suddanly feeling like you are hated by everyone. 100 DAYS!
Looking at quite a few reactions from other countries, a lot of them seem to want to brain drain the hell out of the US.
I mean, I'm down, I want to get off Mr. bones' Wild Ride.
Please brain drain me, I hate this country, it is a fascist shithole doomed to repeat over and over again with endless bumper crops of naive but extremely confident libertarians and conservatives who shout down any kind of adult nuanced conversation and flip randomly between being manipulated by their own racism that they loudly and violently deny and reinventing basic things very badly while refusing to learn anything from previous people who tried the same thing.
Looking from outside I see it more like single people being afraid. I've seen some people wanting to come back because they are afraid. When you have a harvard grad taken from the street it's really hard to feel like investing in a career in the US. It's just unstable for outsiders (even if we know white people don't have to worry about it)
I'm partway through learning the language, but I moved my family over 2 years back when I felt which way the wind was blowing.
I'm less worried for myself, I can (and have) literally lived anywhere and will manage, but it feels so good to have them safe in what I consider the best country in the world right now.
Flying back feels like flying into a banana republic, or honestly China in the 10s.
To be fair, we basically just elected a Biden-style neoliberal who is slightly to the right of Trudeau. As affordability continues to gradually decline, our Trump (Poilievre) or a similar guy will be even more empowered. We're basically a few years behind the USA right now and your right are actively trying to speed it up.
The liberal party should pass the electoral reform they promised so more political parties can compete on who can beat conservatives the best.
Stopping the conservatives is the priority... right?
The liberal party honors their promises... right?

That’s why the 2-party system is so flawed. I used to be so gullible to think that if everyone keeps voting for the left party then the parties overall would sway more left in their future policies, but that is impossible in the capitalistic hellhole we live in.
I’m still a bit baffled it doesn’t work.
Like, the Left not doing enough SHOULD lead the right to decide “Dang, we need a message that appeals. Let’s blame the rich, and champion power over corporations!” But…instead they blame nonsensical things, promise nothing, and appeal to hatred, and get more than one vote.
That should just…never happen. That faction should be gonezo, making plenty of room for an independent party.

Good thing there were 5 parties in this election. We got another minority prime minister, which will need to work on the left of what they would.
We also destroyed the other smaller parties. I feel like we're basically a two party system at this point.

The really irritating thing to me is seeing the Trumpanzees mock Canada, talking like this is the end of Canada as a country.
No self-awareness, no realization that Trump's policies are the direct cause of this. They can't conceive of any way to advance their interests beyond people just abasing themselves before Trump.

Sure, sure, but, if politics were sane, Carney would have been the conservative nominee and there would have been no fear of fascism.
The expressions are correct. It was waaay too close for comfort.
I already see Canadian tankies complaining about how right-wing Carney is.
- fuck tankies
- i DO think it is fair to lament that the state of the world has anyone in a place where they must strategically vote for a fucking banker to protect you from something worse

I mean the guy is a straight laced professor of economics who wrote his thesis on the advantage of competition. He's not exactly a working class hero. However, it could have been way worse and anyone who can't see that just needs to look at the US to find out what happens when you don't vote for the lesser of two evils.
IMO anybody who promotes competition and antimonopoly is a working class hero.

You don't have to be a tankie to see that Carney is a red tory.
you don’t have to be an authcom to see that carney is to the right of trudeau; he canceled the carbon tax, the capital gains tax hike, and is in favor of building more oil pipelines
no matter who won, canada would shift to the right. all we could do is decide by how much.
(and either way, all 3 of them - trudeau, carney and poilievre - are neolibs who support the genocide in palestine)

Canadian conservatives are 40% of the voters. That's already way to much. And they using the trump book more and more: lie, lie and blame the left for fucking anything, some things will sticks. Even if I'm glad he was elected to deal the american shit show, the guy is still a fucking banker who's first action was to remove the carbon taxe. While we have to deal with the toddler from south who wants to annex us, the climate crisis wont fix itself magically.
