    Given the policy initiatives we’ve seen from Carney, he is squarely in the center-right. It’s neither here nor there. I am not confident Carney can win without Trump’s saber-rattling. NDP is a complete disaster. They have lost their base - the working class, blue collar union votes - to of all the peeps, the Cons. I just don’t see them finding a leader who will bring that back to them.

      Much will depend on the NDP’s upcoming leadership election. If they don’t choose a steely, angry, charismatic socialist, the Conservatives will sweep the next election.

    Misinformation at the current time is likely the highest risk crisis for example misinformed people fundamentally deteriorates democracy. Societies that do nothing about will likely face some extreme problems.

    The recent election result was only a reprieve. Canada’s sovereignty, democracy and well-being are still at risk, and disinformation, economic inequality and climate change are the interrelated crises fuelling these risks.

      The pain we feel is from decades of loose monetary policy, rising interest rates due to aging demographics, and a federal government intent on hiding falling GDP via mass immigration. Mass immigration to forcefully invert the phillips curve after vast monetary stimulus, while we remain second to last place in per capita GDP growth in the 38 countries of the OECD, and Caroline Rogers warns of crisis level productivity growth which is diminishing wage growth.

    Could we share this with MPs or even Carney so that they’d see this? Cause I really wish they can see this to know that this is what we’re facing, and we really hope they’ll do the right thing. I’m probably just trying to feel hopeful though.
