Well PP's accomplished nothing in decades; every accusation is an admission. Might be Carney will do nothing, but PP is aware of his irrelevance and that makes me happy.

TBF, he is in the opposition. A number of conservative policies have been adopted by Carney.

Nothing worse in Canadian politics than "The Official Opposition" trying to ruin any and all progress for the sake of a soundbite

Yeah, it's because Carney is a neolib, pp wouldn't enact conservative policies because he is dancing with the far Reich

Imagine having to navigate an Imperialist senile narcissist lunatic threatening invasion at your doorstep and simultaneously holding the global economy hostage, and then having Poilievre gnawing at your ankles.

What a smarmy little prick.

Says the weasel who went on Joe Rogan. Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones PP. You have no right to criticize Carney's social media posts after that.

This bitch SMH

Poilievre is right, Carney hasn't been on Joe Rogan once or gifted any CDN kettlebells in front of a UFO sign.

Pierre represents hard working Americans.

Just like trump, accusing others of what he does. It was Pete I saw come up in my youtube feeds a few years ago and I thought that he was smart to adopt this method of american-style communication, even though I was never a fan of his.

What do you count accomplished?

He's done a ton of things, but if you don't support him you probably didn't want those things and so you didn't pay much attention.

Pps accomplishments by now if he was elected PM, would be a title change to governor of the 51st state.

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.

patatas@sh.itjust.works · -2 pts · 116d

Oh wow yeah I forgot, he shook several hands. My mistake, completely balances out the laundry list of heinous stuff

SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 116d (1 reply)

Poilievre would have done all those things as well. We have a choice now of Pierre or Mark Harper.

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

CanIFishHere@lemmy.ca · 0 pts · 116d

He removed the retail carbon tax, twice. What would you add to that. Not announcements, but actions.

Carney did more in his first week than Timbit Trump has done in his entire “career”. Well, except deliver flyers.
