Economically, she's pretty close to Carney, and she's also argued in favour of the environment against the Conservatives before. She'd probably fit in with the Greens, especially during May's "wifi causes cancer" days.
Yeah, the vaccine stuff is pretty bad, but presumably she won't be in a position to influence that sort of policy (and hopefully Canada won't be in a position where we need to think about that sort of policy).

That's...A crazy reach. Gladu is a reactionary who definitely fit very well in the CPC. This is like if Leslyn Lewis or Rachel Thomas or someone like that crossed the floor.
Looks like he wants to eke out a majority rather than calling a general election. Personally i think he'd win a comfortable majority and gain better candidates, but polling has probably shown people aren't wanting to go to the polls so soon. Otherwise i don't see why he wouldn't, he's decimating the cons in popularity.
Push forward economic policies is my thought. Also, even though she voted for Pierre to lead tge Cons. She believes he can't lead Canada in her words. So maybe its looking a gift horse in the mouth situation for Carney.
Really? Hmm, I wonder is it actually was just in hope of goodies, then.
PP is far, far better if that's what you want. Carney basically agrees with Trudeau and Avi Lewis on "do vaccines work" (unless Avi in an antivaxxer), and is at least very close on social issues.
He's an educated member of the elite, so he doesn't really fit the profile. I don't think mainstream Catholicism is big on antivaxx stuff, anyway. The pope certainly wasn't.
Do we have any evidence that Carney is pro-vaccine? He's been cutting all sorts of research across the board. He also flaunts his Catholicism, but the Pope is anti-AI and anti-war, Carney is neither.
Not that I know of, but that's like asking to prove a negative. He's also probably not a lot of other crazy things.
Look, I don't want to be a dick, which is why I've taken my time replying, but together with the last exchange we had it seems like you're actively looking for reasons to hate him.
I've started being more vocal with family and friends about politics. Unless people stop supporting the Liberals over this stuff, Carney is going to continue dragging this country to the right.

While it's good that the conservative party is shrinking, it also means that the liberals are becoming solidly right wing

Gladu is an insane bigot. PC party is dead

I honestly don't know what Carney is doing. She is a vaccine skeptic and socially conservative on many issues.

You know, there's a noticeable contingent of vaguely right-wing hippies in rural Alberta, but I've never heard of it happening in Ottawa.

Honestly it's probably not out of the question that Carney is a secret anti-vaxxer, given his openly religious rhetoric recently.

But apparently it's an open question about Lewis? Gimme a break
CanadaPlus@futurology.today · 2 pts · 148d
I don't actually know much about Lewis, he's new. That was just covering my bases so I don't get UM ACKTCHUALLY-d.

@RandAlThor@lemmy.ca @relay@relay.mycrowd.ca And…three? byelections in the works.

Turns out the only thing Carney values is power. Was that in his book?
patatas@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 150d
no, but in retrospect, helping him gain power was probably its true purpose
