I honestly don't know what Carney is doing. She is a vaccine skeptic and socially conservative on many issues.
She's a seat, all he cares about.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
Honestly it's probably not out of the question that Carney is a secret anti-vaxxer, given his openly religious rhetoric recently.
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.
Yeah Catholics are supposed to like vaccines
But apparently it's an open question about Lewis? Gimme a break
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.
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.
And yet, you cast doubt on Lewis' position. See the issue?
Because of proximity to Elizabeth May, who at the very least has commented on wifi causing cancer. There is a left-wing brand of anti-science.
And there is a capitalist version of anti-science, and a religious version of anti-science, and apparently a posting-on-lemmy version of casting doubt on someone without any supporting evidence.
Carney, on the other hand, gave a convoy supporter, Joël Lightbound, a minister's portfolio, and has just welcomed anti-science Marilyn Gladu into the party with open arms.
And you're claiming that Lewis, who is in an entirely different party than Elizabeth May, has "proximity" to her? Can we acknowledge that Carney is much closer to folks with anti-science views?
