      Not quite. The Conservative party mostly put their money on a bunch of culture war stuff and were aiming to defang a bunch of regulatory bodies. Carney is basically an Old School conservative who is trying to appeal to the conservative votership who ditched the actual Conservative party by pulling a bunch of moves that flatter areas that are dependant on oil so he can compete with what are essentially American psy-ops to goad Canadian resource heavy provinces into making policy which favours private American business.

      He’s trying to be a unifying force since most of the country was going to vote blue and the political situation with the states requires a lot of solidarity. He is basically a fiscal conservative Monarchist wet dream while keeping quiet on not rolling back Progressive social agendas of yesteryear. So… Lesser of two evils mostly.

      Not exactly, the CPC was all in with trying to undermine NATO with Trump, I hate what the LPC is doing right now, but as one small example if the CPC was in power right now, PP would be backing Trump’s attempts to make Ukraine capitulate to Putin.

      That said, the LPC can pretty much drop the L at this point. I think they’re taking advantage of the fact CPC policy is just vague assertions and thinly veiled revenge plots on democratic institutions. They know full well anyone voting for policy isn’t going to end up voting for the CPC, which they see as their only threat right now.

      I beg to differ. They would try to do the same but first in not very smart ways, and second accompanied by a MAGA style campaign to project cruelty onto the less fortunate of us Canadians.
