Conservatives have been deeply unserious people for decades, not actually espousing anything resembling responsible policy. But the country was ready to swing back to a conservative government, so the centrist party went and nominated a conservative economist, who is now announcing conservative policies.
Does that help explain it?
Key differences
-Carneys cuts are measured and have responsible pay fors (not burn down the government pay fors),
-Carney is focused on building economic capacity innovating and investing in the economy (not attacking education institutions, and drawing back on investment that does not align with tradiation 20th century industries.)
This election kind of requires a decoder key:
Liberal = Conservative
Conservative = Libertarian
NDP = Liberal
Green = I don't actually know, have they become the pro-labour party?
sadly I'm not sure we have a strong pro environment / sustainability option
