Not quite, but there has been some con action so far. Some diff between standard con are:
- Does not deny climate change
- Does not want to harm LGBTQ pop
- Has read Marx and agrees with some of his analysis
- Does not believe the free market is the best solution for every problem
My bet is that he's gonna go for deficit spending when shit hits the fan because unlike the standard con he understands public debt isn't like family debt and that austerity in bad times is a bad idea. We'll see in the fall.
This is why we need propositional representation - without a system that allows viable alternatives to the lesser evil our country isn't really a democracy.
Or just an NDP that doesnt self destruct itself in order to push cheap corporate labor. I have a feeling a Mulcair NDP wouldn't have lost party status.
Better than a Conservative hiding his MAGA hat at this point, but we do need more options. I still have a bit of hope Carney might do good, but time will tell, we gotta give him a fair shot.
we gotta give him a fair shot.
Why?
Because he hasn't actually slashed anything yet. It's all guesswork based on some promised spending on the military and some tax cuts. But he can always do deficit spending and it would actually make sense if the mil spending goes domestic instead of in the US MIC.
But we should be very suspicious still. I'm not saying oh let's coddle him because he hasn't harmed us. Critique the fucker and be surprised if he actually delivers.
I mean, he passed those two bills (C-2 and C-5 I think?) so he's a conservative even before slashing anything.
Wait, I don't think C-2 passed yet. I wrote some stern letters on that one.
C-5 is also an undemocratic disaster of sorts but they did amend some of the worst parts. Still bad. So yeah, no question there.
Nothing but a pussy.
OMG
Poor pp so sad...
