Dear everyone happily dunking on PM Carney for <insert your problem here>,

A reminder that *perfect* was not a candidate in the last election. The two real choices in that election were between Carney, a reasonable human being, and Pierre Poilievre, a self-serving, perpetually taxpayer funded, power hungry, sycophant.

Not happy with Carney? Fine. But at least be honest enough to realize he's a better choice than what the Conservatives offered: wanna-be cult leader Diet Trump.

The LPC targeted the NDP, who had been allies. The goal being to gain a majority no matter what.

They failed in that, increased the UCP's percentage.

Now they have formed a coalition with the UCP.

You got your leader. And Trump too.

@Amgine To my memory, 'twas the NDP took that swing by melodramatically tearing up the supply agreement. After they had successfully pushed the Liberals into doing some good, like the dental plan. The NDP smelled the blood in the water of a weakening Trudeau and sought to take advantage of that, hoping non-right voters would switch from Liberal to NDP, giving them more power under a Conservative minority.

That's what failed.

@Amgine As for any coalition with the UCP ... no such thing exists. Carney gave Smith enough rope to hang herself with, and nothing else. He basically dared her to go ahead and get a pipeline if she thought it was so easy, and now she's finding out the federal government was not the main roadblock.

Unless you're referring to the small peace deal between Carney and Poilievre in which case that is no coalition, that's just so things move quicker without Poilievre's "axe the tax" performances

@brad

Go check for voting records this session.

By and large they do not exist. Across committees there is no dispute and votes do not need to be counted.

That can only be true if the LPC and UCP are in de facto coalition, as there is no majority.
