I may not like everything he does but still feel like Carney's one of the best prime ministers we've had.

[–] SubstituteTurkey@lemmy.ca 24 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Agreed, if it wasn't for his fossil fuel thirst, he'd be a near perfect Prime Minister.

[–] veeesix@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I don’t mind if he supports the oil and gas status quo, but only on the condition that he uses it as leverage to build a stronger renewables and EV sector.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

If you actually believe that you are very naive. What EV sector. We make one shitty muscle car EV no one is buying.

[–] GreyEyedGhost@piefed.ca 6 points 1 month ago

We don't have to build EVs here to work in the EV sector, but we have reserves for many of the chemicals required to make batteries, and could also have plants to build batteries, which the world needs a lot of right now, and is actually a resource we could sell without setting the world on fire.

Which EV is made in Canada? I wasn't aware we built any O.o

[–] JTode@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

If there's a long game that we might like here, one thing for certain is that we will see zero sign of it until after the treason referendum has happened, and failed. So expect no joy from this PM until November at the earliest.

Carney also supported America's and Israel's war on Iran, so he's not exactly a genius.

[–] SGforce@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Enough of this zero sum bullshit. He has never materially supported the war.

[–] mirshafie@europe.pub -4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Right, right. He's just providing political cover for bombing hundreds of schools and some of the world's greenest steel plants, for a fascist pedophile that is constantly attacking Canada and calling him "Governor".

The most capable technocrat, to be sure. And competence is very reassuring. Still, I despise the man, and yet I support him fully today.
