Canada hasn’t lurched back to the left, Carney has adopted virtually every conservative talking point and policy. Poulievre was soft on the US, and Carney is perceived as the “reasonable” option for enacting the conservative platform PP pitched. There is an odd progressive policy here and there, both as a play for the NDP, and because the moment requires them to (primarily due to housing crisis). But don’t think this is a dramatic shift in the Canadian political landscape, we are likely headed for a very conservative Liberal party. We will likely see a fair bit of austerity outside of housing policy, there will almost surely be a federal hiring freeze and probable layoffs.
