Standard operating process for liberal governments to send trial balloons and implement hard right policy they really want to do early on. Also SOP to kick left flank support in teeth as message. Like Obama. Had high hopes Carney was above such rank idiocy. #cdnpoli

Peter Ratcliffe, forever Canadian 🇨🇦
A government that intends to privatize basic universal services, such as water, is a government that is admitting that government has failed the people thru its own poor management skills. There should be no room allowed for profit in the delivery of fundamental human needs.

The Canadian right wing - mere Corporatists on a good day - take themselves off the political playing field when they follow Harper's lead and genuflect towards Trump/Putin/Orban.

And the animals here maybe become a Socio-political force of nature. That would be cool.

Not just privatization, but active destruction of systems already in place.

Try that again. Without the lens of empathy, political intellect becomes endless partial calculations. Carney is intellect/empathy - Lewis is empathy/intellect. Very rare in public life and leadership positions, allowing both to see full equations and not just special interests.

Carney/Lewis (Polievre) will be the best team in Canadian political history since Pearson/Douglas (Diefenbaker). The majority will be less of an issue if we ramp up pressure from the centre left with progressives as a driving force. We can do this. #cdnpoli

As Roosevelt allegedly said to advocates for change, "Yes I agree, now go out and make me do it." So active pressure can change policy and move governments. Lewis seems to be VERY aware of this vitally important political reality.

Perfect. Exactly as I laid out before Carney ran for leader. A wide tent win, markers for trade/business/defense then pressure by left wing empathy/intellect powerhouse like Lewis (watch as he hits stride) to make PMMC honour his liberal Canadian values. Now ramp it up. #cdnpoli

@SamHersh01 They should talk to Doug Ford and he could maybe grift them up with a connection for Canada wide Staples franchise - apparently they have space and furniture.

@knows_jill It's simple. Liberals sort of lie sometimes a lot, and Cons totally lie all the time always. If you catch a Conservative telling a truth, it's almost definitely always in the service of a greater lie. So yeah, what you said plus what I said.

About a year ago, I stopped believing conservatives, not just politicians, but all conservatives. I used to fact-check everything a conservative said, but it got to the point that everything they said turned out to be a lie, half-truths, or bullshit. Now, I just block them!

@MarkJCarney If you could just go ahead and repudiate the worst excesses of neoliberalism in all its capital driven lunacy, that would be super.
