For the 'Carney is basically just Poilievre' Crowd, a look at Poilievre's proposed legislation (note: this from about a month ago)

I've seen this take that Carney is just as bad as Poilievre more than a few times. And while Carney may not be as Green as some had hoped for but my goodness, the difference between him and Poilievre is staggering.

Figured it's worth posting the legislation that Poilievre put forward in August which includes removing pipeline regulations, scrapping the West Coast oil-tanker ban; killing the industrial carbon tax; eliminating the electric vehicle mandate and reversing the single-use plastics ban.

They're not defending Carney. Just stating the fact that PP is significantly worse. A fact that's being muddled by unfounded criticism of Carney. Some folks who didn't have a strong anti-PP opinion like a family member of ours is asking whether we shoulda voted for PP if Carney is bad, after hearing unqualigird critique of Carney. It's important to criticize Carney for his fuckups but that should always be grounded in the relevant PP context.

As for NDP voters who lent their votes to Carney this round, we don't need unfounded critique to know the NDP is better for us.

Basically it's important to tailor one's message depending on the audience in order to achieve the desired understanding. Most of us here know what's up politically.

Carney already broke his biggest promise of fighting Trump. Many criticism of Carney are very well funded so it's really important to help at least vocally Carney accountable so he don't make us lose to conservative in the next election .

It's important to criticize Carney for his fuckups

But the OP said this

Carney may not be as Green as some had hoped

This is barely a criticism
