I think there are as many people who placed false hope in him as there were clear eyed people who saw him for what he was.
AFAIC Canada was becoming more conservative regardless of what I wanted so I voted for the less conservative party. Which is why we need to get rid of FPTP asap.

100% agreed. I don’t hold any negative feelings towards people who voted for Carney and now feel betrayed because I’ve always maintained that Carney seriously misrepresented himself before and during the election. Really, right up until he secured his majority. I remember when “Build Canada Homes” was first announced and people thought it was going to be a government run home builder building public housing rather than a public bank feeding money to private developers, for example.

Yea… same with his Sovereign Wealth Fund. At best my hope is he’s planting a seed conceptually and getting the ball rolling physically for a future NDP to come in and deprivatize.

He conveniently used language with double meaning depending on your level of financial literacy . Carney has always been a capitalist and IMO he was clear about using capitalism to create a more sustainable capitalism in his book.
Which needs to be differentiated from the unsustainable Crony Capitalism of MAGA/PP. The appeal to the rich is less volatility leading to more predictable returns.
edit: and not to say Canadians are “financially illiterate” but there is a big difference between Rich Dad Poor Dad level knowledge and working in finance.

Guess what, we actually voted for that and the asshole ignored us.
Yup. I voted CPC in my 1st election (grew up conservative). NDP for every other one except when JT lied to get my vote.
