Canada is substantially more unified now than it was a couple months ago. Carney is proving to be an effective and smart leader. He's completely turned the party around.

My radical socialist heart doesn't trust him or like him but my pragmatic brain knows this is an all hands on deck situation and how bad the best case scenario will be. He's center right economically with Obama social policy but he knows how severe the threats are right now. He's bringing a lot of the uniformed over in a sort of way Obama did. He appeals to moderate conservatives because he is an actual one in the way that counts most for them. The actual religious conservative patriotic Canadians who don't want to see their ideological opponents hanged.

But he's appealing to the left by promising to build social housing. That is desperately needed and wasn't being advocated for really by any mainstream politician. He's a centrist FDR which is better than a far right no value dork who is just begging to capitulate to Trump. And he's good in front of the camera. Not Trudeau good but good enough.

When fascism is on the rise it's all hands on deck. This is pretty likely the tipping point for us as a species. Everyone needs to get on board now.
