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.

Make pressure on Carney to respect his comittements

You'll put pressure on Carney in order to go after Poilievre? That makes sense. /s

On the off chance you mean that Carney is more likely to win the next election if he does what the left fringe wants him to, no, not really. That's questionable against any candidate, and this particular Conservative leader specialises in stirring up outrage over ambitious policies.

He also made commitments that were pretty mild in the first place, aside from cuts to spending that he probably can't deliver.

Carney is more likely to win the next election if he redeem himself and start respecting his engagements toward the people who make him win the last time. He didn't deliver a single thing right now

Voters? I agree, he has to make them happy.

Lemmings? Lol no.

Of course, voters don't know the issues very well, go by soundbites to judge who's doing what and just get tired of people eventually. So far he's managed to cultivate a totally different image from his predecessor, neutralise Poilievre's attacks, and keep the economy from totally rupturing anywhere, so I'd say he's doing fine so far.
