Here is someone who completely gets it!!! and love the term "Carney-Harperites but I would have gone with Carney-Harpies
EllenA + Orcas@eamcur25.bsky.social · 3mo agoThey are NOT Liberals. They are Carney-Harperites. Carney has done this with the backing of private equity and Harper. It was actually quite brilliant, hijacking the Liberal Party while their stooge kept the Cons busy.
