mark carney is marketing his budget as a big, beautiful bold bill. in fact, there's a pattern of him mimicking republican slogans and talking points, including "drill, baby, drill". there's no ambiguity about the hard right nature of the swing he's trying to engineer in the liberal party.

he's actually trying to remarket the liberals as the canadian version of the republicans. there's some historical logic to this, more broadly, but this is the worst possible time to do that.

this is not what canada voted for, and we have grounds to call for an immediate election. i didn't vote in the last election, because i saw this coming. he did not fool me. he did fool millions of canadians, who deserve a sober second opportunity.

the problem is that the ndp, canada's perpetually useless sanctioned opposition, decided to intentionally take two years to pick a leader. they won't be ready any time soon.

the greens are actually a better choice, and a more appropriate choice, right now. that party had better be ready to go.
