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.

Hypocrisy in politics is nothing new and certainly not something someone would resign over (he'll have his own rationale about some trivial detail.)

As for turfing him out right away, he just led the Conservatives to crack 40% of the popular vote, something they hadn't done for 30+ years (Mulroney in '88 was the last one) and it took almost historic defections from the NDP/Greens to keep them out of power.

If things don't get better rapidly (economy, housing, both of which are long term challenges unlikely to be solved in a single Parliament) I'd say Poilievre has a pretty good shot next time as the defectors return to their parties and the Right continues to rise among young voters etc.
