The Carney government has suffered from a series of communications failures, on the pipeline, the BC housing plan, glazing up Trump every time he attacks Iran, this, and a number of other things.
How many "communication failures" does he get before we get to call them what they are?
My list was a mix of lies and misrepresentations, statements too early, vague statements, poorly articulated plans, self-contradictions, that could have varying degrees of intent but all fall under the "communications failures" umbrella, in my view.
Sorry, I was a little hot under the collar when I made that reply.
At what point does a pattern stop being failures and become clear as a deliberate series of steps to manifest an entirely deliberately obfuscated, nefarious plan? Asking for your neighbors.
Did you find a Canadian edition of Project 202x? Fascists tend to put their thoughts into manifestos like that, no matter how contradictory their mantras are. I think we would have seen something like that, from Carney we saw the opposite (Values).
Didn't we all more or less know we were settling for a Chrétien/Martin-esque late 90s early 00s Red Tory government, that would partner with Con Lib and NDP Premiers to help each achieve their goals, when choosing LPC over CPC, NDP or any other party? Yes I'm not totally happy with everything Carney has done, but I'm not sure what kind of unseen nefarious agenda he is pursuing, for whom and for what purpose. He has done things I like and ones I dislike, it's about as much as I expected anyhow, most of the like is when he appeases progressive voters and most of the dislike is his occasional appeasement of Premier Smith and DJT, that seems pretty clear to me over any other kind of undercurrent.
I'm calling them comms failures because in 2025 he was able to formulate a policy, verify most of the details beforehand and articulate it clearly broken down into several parts. This year we're getting a more reactionary Carney, flying a bit more by the seat of his pants. I'd need something more than speculation to tie this change to malice. My list was also a mix of lies and misrepresentations, statements too early, vague statements, poorly articulated plans, self-contradictions, that could have varying degrees of intent but all fall under the "communications failures" umbrella, in my view.
