#atissue — Public Fediverse posts

@ChrisCorrigan I think that essay is largely correct; there are signs of a vibe shift regarding #MarkCarney: Canadians are starting to realise that they're not getting what they expected from his premiership, and at some point I expect them to decide that he misled them. (My evidence for changing sentiment is the #AtIssue panel, and the slow rise of the NDP, e.g., at https://338canada.com/federal.htm .)

Whether this will result in a #CPC government, with or without Mr. Poilievre, is hard to say.

The most interesting part of the #CBC #AtIssue panel last night was in the first segment: the dawning realisation that #MarkCarney is having limited success at resolving the #TrumpTariffs. We've cancelled countervailing tariffs, removed other irritants, and yet the expected date for a deal keeps moving into the future.

@acoyne may be right that no solid agreement *can* be struck with the White House. Still disappointing to those who expected a deal...

I feel old when I watch the #AtIssue panel on #CBC. How many people under 50 watch anything on the evening news? The *CBC TV* evening news? The weekly *political panel*?

But when I watch #PeterMansbridge's #GoodTalk, I feel young again. Peter, Chantal and Bruce: back to the 2000s!

The main value for me is to get a sense of what the Baby Boomers are thinking. Judging from the most recent episode, it's not promising for #MarkCarney .

Peak Carney? When the PM loses #RosemaryBarton, that’s a sign:

(#AlthiaRaj, who has been writing critical columns for months now, is more sanguine than Ms. Barton.)

#PierrePoilievre has time now, she says. No general election in 2025, no imminent risk of Conservative MPs losing their jobs, a new opportunity to speak to Canadians.

On the #CBC #AtIssue panel, they're fairly convinced that #MarkCarney is blowing up the coalition that elected his government, alienating the left-leaning voters in BC and Québec who brought the Liberals over the line with the new pipeline MoU. Looking at the responses around here, that seems like a plausible assessment.

Why would he do such a thing? My own theory is that his goal as PM is to undo Justin Trudeau's economic policies.

I confess to not understanding this matter. What I know about it is largely from listening to the #CBC #AtIssue panel's video last week. I think it's in reference to Mr. Trudeau's involvement with the SNC-Lavalin scandal, but in 2025, why would Mr. Poilievre be discussing that at all? Was this on his Twitter feed, in an interview? The #GlobeAndMail article is blocked by their paywall.

Pierre Poilievre’s casual accusation of an RCMP cover-up is stunning
