Carney is still a neoliberal though. His government is pushing for more tech surveillance.
My read is that just like only Nixon could go to China, only Carney could put his foot down for a post-unipolar order.
This isn’t about praising him but about understanding the geopolitics and web of international relations that we live in.
If you want a chance to impact it all in some positive way and maybe exert some degree of leverage on these fucks, organize with the NDP.
I have a long list of complaints about the Carney “Liberals” (more like a PC party, imho), but his government leaning on his connections with European business leaders, bankers, and politicians to pivot away from America is exactly what I was hoping we’d get from this government. His Middle Powers speech was exactly the right message.
The US is in decline, and they are no longer a dependable ally. We also don’t want to lurch to a new geopolitical order dominated by China, or any single country, for that matter. By working together, we can keep economic and social progress despite the collapse of American hegemony and, hopefully, come out on the other side of this with a more stable world.
But, Jesus Christ, Carney’s government is making a mess of a lot of things domestically, eh? Still better than PP, but only because they aren’t completely socially regressive in addition to being ruinously neoliberal.
His own staff struggled to keep up as he texted European leaders he’d known from the finance world, like Rothschild banker Emmanuel Macron, now France’s president; onetime chairman of BlackRock’s German subsidiary, Friedrich Merz, now German chancellor; and the European Investment Bank’s Alexander Stubb, now Finland’s president.
Well that’s concerning
I haven’t finished reading this, but it’s excellent.
And boy, does Keir Starmer ever come off as…extremely Starmerish.
And foreign policy is the one area Starmer was kinda ok-ish.
There’s a reason everyone hates him right or left
That was a great article. Interesting, A lot of insider details.
Really? Praising Carney? Thats some low quality slop. WSJ i guess…
Yeah that’s about the best I’d expect from them
