"In 2025 millions of Canadians rallied behind what they took to be a promise of renewed economic sovereignty and progressive nation-building. Over the past year, the government they elected has effectively delivered the exact opposite." #cdnpoli
Mark Carney promised to take on Donald Trump. He’s done anything but
While Prime Minister Mark Carney said he be “Elbows up” to Trump, his policy choices have essentially aligned Canada with America.

To the thousands of WestJet flight attendants who are out on strike against unpaid work: the NDP stands with you.
I had an idea years ago of creating a (paid) labour reporting internship to help students gain experience doing labour reporting Emma was our first labour intern and I was so proud we could later hire her as full-time labour reporter Please follow @emmaarkell.bsky.social and support her journalism
Charlie, the MAGA threat is coming from WITHIN Canada and the Prime Minister's Office as they capitulate to Trump on basically everything. And it's not just NATO: Carney supports the Golden Dome and is spending more raw dollars in the American military industrial complex than before.
Charlie Angus@charlieangus104.bsky.social · 6d agoThe "let's quit NATO" faction have their day. I didn't have much time for them when they mobbed the microphones at NDP conventions. I have less time for these squabbles now as Canada faces an unprecedented threat to our sovereignty. My focus remains on rallying Canadians against the MAGA threat.
The parallels between what Trump is doing and what Mark Carney is doing just keep emerging. What would a Quisling do differently?
Michael Nabert@sustainablesong.bsky.social · last wk.How does Mark Carney respond to groceries coming up to Canada from the USA now being less safe? He eliminates 587 food inspector jobs. Trump makes it awful. Carney makes it worse. Trump creates new risks for Canadians, Carney doubles down on them. 5/ www.realagriculture.com/2026/01/carn...
Ryan's been correct on this since the start of Carney coming to power. He's dangerous in large part because there's no criticism of him that's actually entertained by his supporters
T. Ryan Gregory 🇨🇦@tryangregory.bsky.social · 6d agoAnything, and I mean anything, Carney says or does will be rationalized. He can use right-wing rhetoric and institute policy indistinguishable from Poilievre's and someone will show up to defend it. Every single time. I've never seen anything like this in my lifetime.

Dean Brown@deanfb.bsky.social · 7d agoYou don’t have to be anti-immigrant to recognize basic economics. Adding people faster than we can build homes, expand infrastructure, and provide services drives up costs and strains supply. Sustainable immigration requires sustainable growth.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by my ice cream social in Capilano last night. At a time when so many people are worried about the rising cost of living and threats to our economy, there is something powerful about gathering with your neighbours on a sunny evening and sharing an ice cream. 🧡🍦🧡
Once again, Mark Carney is appeasing Donald Trump at Canada’s expense. Weakening the Online Streaming Act puts Canadian jobs, Canadian creators and our cultural sovereignty on the line. (1/2)
Criticising massive increases in war spending is EXACTLY the vision we need right now. We need a vision of protecting public services from right-wing attacks like we are seeing in Alberta and Ontario. We need a vision of expanding comprehensive healthcare. Avi is on point. Charlie is out of touch.
Rachel Gilmore@rachelgilmore.bsky.social · 7d agoSurprising take here from Charlie Angus:
1/ More than 99% of CUPE cabin crew workers at WestJet voted in favour of a strike mandate. We've seen what Mark Carney does when workers legally exercise their rights. The Liberals have used Section 107 multiple times to stamp out worker power, forcing them back to work without a fair contract.
Don Davies@donvdavies.bsky.social · 7d agoToday, my colleague @leahgazan.bsky.social and I wrote a letter calling on the Minister of Jobs, @pattyhajdu.bsky.social, to refrain from violating WestJet workers’ right to strike.

Just like at Air Canada, WestJet is continuing to force unpaid work on its cabin crew, in a sector made of mostly of women. Workers have been clear that they’ve had enough, with over 99% of CUPE 8125’s membership voting in favour of a strike. (1/4)
Who does Charlie think he is serving here? I don't want Palantir in our military - a literal tool tested in genocide - and investing in American military industry helps them, not us. If you want to be a Liberal, go ahead but leave the NDP to the people who have been a part of its revitalization.
Charlie Angus@charlieangus104.bsky.social · last wk.Canada is in a deadly serious moment unlike anything we have seen in a century. We need political leaders to offer a vision of how respond to the threat while offering ways that our nation can move forward. Claiming that the PM's priority is supporting Trump's war machine is a total falsehood.
Carney literally leased us military helicopters to police a made up border problem. Be serious

The NDPers coming out against Avi Lewis always sound so funny like "no actually giving money hand over fist to the American military complex is good actually"

Charlie, this email from the NDP is very specifically taking aim at a Liberal government proposal that will increase Canada's level of military integration with the United States. Govt plans for increased military spending will do that too. What exactly do you take issue with here?
Charlie, he 100% backed Trump's Iran War Things the murder of 200 schoolgirls is "worth it" Avi is 100% right to hammer the Trump-Carney alliance

“If we really want to end the violence and depravation that plagues Canada’s remote Aboriginal communities, we need to help them leave these communities, forever,” said Gilmore, the PM's new principal advisor. An absolutely atrocious belief - this decision says a lot about the PM. #CDNpoli #Carney

The Shopify CEO saying rich people deserve more votes didn't come out of nowhere. It's rooted in the idea that the rich trickle down wisdom to the unwashed masses. A direct intellectual line between the Carney Capital Gains/Yacht tax cuts to 'rich people deserve more votes'
