I’ve really come to hate Carney. I’ve cancelled my LPC membership after more than twenty years, and I’m prepared to hold my nose and vote NDP in the next federal election. Even a year ago I never would’ve thought that.

Drinking water is a basic human right. It’s non-negotiable. It should be the top priority for the feds when it comes to Indigenous relations.

Not a Liberal but I did support them last election because of Carney and the alternative. I like Carney's attempts to diversify away from the US, but the rest of his agenda seems anti-environment.

He can do a lot more on that front.

The liberals love breaking promises with first nations. End first-past-the-post, we need a citizen's assembly on electoral reform!
