I wish it were! Carney, Canada's Prime Minister has a PhD in Reaganomics and sounds really smart. He's been pushing for a 15% reduction in overall public spending, which includes a massive increase in military spending, over the next 3 years. I'd say he's going full DOGE.

He's a Liberal, the equivalent to a US Democrat. Fortunately we have a parliamentary system, so now that our 'Trump', Poilievre, is back in Parliament he'll be more likely to work with the centrist Bloc Quebecois, New Democrat, and Green parliamentarians. We don't have elected left politicians.

Anyway, my point is that Carney is passing Trumpist legislation whilst being not quite as right as the alt right.

You might be the one person on this entire thread engaging in good faith. I appreciate it and need to pay more attention to what’s going on to the north (it’s hard with the shitstorm going on here). I’m going to read more on this. Thanks.
