Our current political climate of the Carney Liberals, PP, and weakened NDP reminds me a lot of the US two-party system that only benefits the uber wealthy. I really hope we don’t continue down that path.

I don’t see the Liberals changing course, unfortunately. (The Carney Liberals feel a lot different from the Trudeau Liberals.) I think corporate-owned news and social media keep pushing people to the right. So, the Liberals can make a strategic argument to right-shift to try and steal Conservative voters (and appease corporate donors) while taking most left-of-centre voters for granted as ABC (anyone but Conservative) voters who’ll still vote for them as the party drifts right. Their future slogan: at least we’re not the CPC.

It seems like it’s up to the NDP to save Canadian politics from becoming a big-money scheme like south of the border and give working class people a voice in parliament again. My gosh do I wish they find a Zohran Mamdani or someone who can reinvigorate the party.

I’ve seen this go far enough after 6 months or so of Carney. I hope he redeems himself in the eyes of working class Canadians, but I am not betting on it. I think this is closer to how he’ll govern (like a US moderate Democrat) than the “elbows up” nationalism he advertised himself as.
