Oof. This just adds to my growing concern that Carney was Harper’s Manchurian Candidate.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this resurrection of Herr Harper and what the game is; it feels like an attempt to launder the image of the Conservative Party (call it ‘right-washing’) and an effort to distance themselves from the MAGA shitshow down south.

They’re smelling it on the wind that Canadian conservatives (the moderate ones) are losing their stomach for US culture-war style politics and with the trade war strangling the economy & Orange Julius’ annexation threats rallying Canadians, The Party is looking for a different path forward.

As gross is it is, there are likely a whole bunch of Conservative voters who view the Harper years with a sense of nostalgia, and long for a return to the ‘greatness’ of that period.

Enter Carney, who worked FOR Harper as the Governor of the bank of Canada, and who has basically appropriated most of the Conservative’s fiscal policies.

Resurfacing Harper—completely overlooking what he’s been up to with the #IDU—linking him to Carney and then getting his padawan Poilievre to call for the two parties to ‘work together’ seems like an effort to make PP more palatable to Conservatives who are souring on the Trump train-wreck.

Harper's homecoming from the crypt, after a decade of subverting democracies around the world.

It should be met with as much Canadian disdain as Americans are showing ICE.

Premier Kinew and Minister Asagwara aren’t leaving seniors at the mercy of the market, they’re stepping in to save these precious elder care beds. This is exactly what we mean when we say that the role of the government is to goddamn govern.

We cannot leave something as important as senior care in the hands of private corporations that know the price of everything and the value of nothing. It’s time to bring long-term care into the public and non-profit system where it belongs.
