Carney is an international banker.

I will be shocked if there's any significant change in housing while he's in charge.

I said just that during the elections and was downvoted.

Yeah, the ~~closet conservatives~~ centrists probably didn't enjoy being reminded of the reality of the political governance here in North America.

I mean, had more people voted with their convictions rather than trying to beat the conservatives, we would still have ended up with a very weak minority conservative government with a stronger NDP, which wouldn't have been that bad.

The Liberals and the NDP would've had to form a coalition and the NDP would've had a much stronger influence. They could have worked together to pass bills that improve our society and empower the middle-class, whether the Conservatives like it or not.

OR, if the Liberals had aligned with the Conservatives, then you would have seen an uproar, especially because of the current geopolitical context.

But we definitely need to give the NDP and the Greens more space. I hope people will remember that in the next elections.

I certainly am very disappointed in Carney's government, but I'm not surprised at all. I knew this would happen and I don't know what people expected out of an actual establishment world banker.
