that tactic is called “racheting” and was polished south of the border. By using racheting right keeps racheting things up while left usually falters and finds itself pulled stronger towards the right. In other words Carney’s capitulation today may sound like conciliatory compromise but watch Conservatives soon upping the ante and demanding more aggressive measures from their playbook. So both parties will keep on drifting to the right and now we have nobody to pull thingz to the left. NDP is no more, BQ won’t act on behalf of the rest of Canada… without being part of US, US-style political system is here today, with two parties that barely differ from each other and throw a show every election to make populous think they actually elect someone and they do participate in governance.
