But it is pretty funny seeing people applauding Carney for cancelling a tax his party created , focusing less on left leaning social issues and fringe topics and more on the economy , and preaching smaller government who were lauding the exact same policies when the cons were saying it for years
If Carney was the PM for the newly elected cons he would be called the favorite CalgaryPuck buzzword - a deplorable . Not caring about the environment . Making minority policies less of a focus vs general economic growth policies.
The liberals have very smartly taken the platform and talking points that PP used to gain support and adopted them into their platform , while appealing to Canadians that they also don’t have the fringe crazy get right politicians and will stand up for Canada
It is a great strategy as has worked masterfully . And I am glad they have shifted to where they are and hope/pray if they win they actually govern this way vs what we have seen for a decade
But let’s not pretend most of what they are shifting too isn’t what the cons have been saying for years - or at least what people who were shifting to the cons have been asking for over the last years

Jason14, on this board, for months: You guys are all left wing!
Most of the board: Actually, I am a moderate, and haven't voted for Trudeau, but would take a centrist CPC party any day.
Liberals elect a centrist: You guys should be hating this!!!
