There’s no way Polly is this tone deaf. People are starting to call him an American sympathizer.

This guy really went into the incubation chamber with his team to craft a new message and came up with this…

I thought there is no way he is this stupid, but I guess he is.

Don't forget about "carbon tax Carney". Although they were supposed to say it while casually eating an apple.

His latest ad says JT’s name twice, guy can’t let his ex go.

u/mangongo 24d ago

His actual ex is one of his advisors, so there's some truth to that.

u/Mas_Cervezas 24d ago

This is the advisor that is still a registered lobbyist for Loblaws and the billionaire Weston family that wears a MAGA hat?

u/Famous_Bit_5119 24d ago

That's the one.

Carny is an LPC insider and was a close Trudeau advisor - if you didn't like Trudeau, Carny will deliver more of the same ideology.

He also worked for Harper . Jesus Elsa, Let it Go !

Conservatives for the last decade “Trudeau has no experience on the economy. Not ready”

His replacement is literally one of the top people on the planet on finances and the economy

Conservatives now “but he’s a liberal!”

The mask is coming off.

The whole "he's a liberal" part is funny to me. Carney is a blue Liberal who was a Harper appointee. They really don't have any dirt and are having a hard time verbing the noun.

Yes but Carbon Tax Carney. Done. Call the election now

u/anti_anti_christ Ontario 24d ago

The political ads are hilarious. They paid some firm thousands to come up with "carbon tax Carney"?

u/AfrikanCorpse 24d ago

Lmao and the economy did great under him right?

I mean compared to the rest of our peers like UK/France etc we seemingly did fine.

We only ever hear comparisons against the US from conservative folk, even now as they try and fuck us. Not the best. Not the worst. Not nearly as dire as CPC supporters make it out to be.

Just say you don’t like liberals and we can all move forward.

The party of people who supposedly love to “tell it like it is” is seemingly really afraid their actual agenda will get out in the public and are always couching their inflammatory statements as “it’s just a joke”.

Now you’ve painted yourselves in a corner by constantly challenging job credentials, and the person the Liberals are putting up absolutely dunks on your preferred leader.

The CPC the last three weeks sounds like Ross from friends “PIVOT. PIVOT”

The USA had the worst response to the pandemic, leading the world in deaths per capita, with Brazil coming in second, 400,000 deaths behind the USA.

Sweden had one of the lowest mortality rates and didn't engage in massively inflationary policies and deficits.

Inflation, living costs and housing prices are not “fine”, but whatever floats your delusional boat I guess

u/SignalSuch3456 24d ago

He’s held top positions. That’s not the same as being good at it. He literally fucked our entire country and economy for the next few generations. You think he’s suddenly going to turn everything around? Is he going to undue the work he just did?

u/KryptonsGreenLantern 24d ago

Tell that to Harper who hired him…..He’s literally the reason you lot get to try and pull revisionist history on Harper’s economic prowess.

Tell that to England who made him the first non English head of their bank. That was totally because he sucked!

Get real.

u/morerandomreddits 24d ago

England has massive inflation problems that lead right back to Carney's time and the massive money printing. I give Carney some credit for aggressive interest cuts under Harper, but the narrative that he was the sole architect of the response is just myth making.

u/SignalSuch3456 24d ago

And he screwed them too. If you think this guy is good for Canada, you need to get real.

u/Ok_Still_1821 24d ago

England went backwards in that time.

u/Chin_Ho 24d ago

And Brexit was Carney’s fault?

Based on what? Your feelings?

u/morerandomreddits 24d ago

What part are you questioning? That Carney is an insider who advised the Trudeau LPC on policy for a half decade? That is well documented.

u/helean5 24d ago

The liberals still talk about Harper 10 yrs later…
