“Mark Carney is competent, well-spoken, and quietly running a neoliberal playbook. Against the backdrop of Trump’s chaos, Canada’s prime minister looks like a statesman—and that’s precisely the problem. When the bar is subterranean, clearing it can mask a lot of sins. Airport privatization, fossil fuel expansion, public service cuts, and social transfers growing below inflation aren’t the hallmarks of a progressive government. They’re the hallmarks of a conservative one with better branding.”

    Well duh… he’s Mark Harper.

    But cutting public employees does not mean service cuts -no one will see the difference. Scary military spending.

    Airport privatization is not a thing, he’s privatizing the services at the airports, not the airports.

    Canada has been dumping billions into Alberta tar sands for decades. He also has much less revenue to work with thanks to Trump.
