As Prime Minister Mark Carney announces he’s pausing yet another cornerstone environmental policy laid out by his predecessor Justin Trudeau, Industry Minister Melanie Joly won’t say whether the federal government will maintain its 2030 and 2035 emissions reduction targets.

    Might anger some with this opinion but:

    NDP removed socialism references from party constitution and are now tripling down on identity politics. They’re never the top pick when it comes to “anybody but conservative” and never will be if they can’t handle dropping their popularity poison. Or at least pretend to. They’re not wrong, but they’re trying to get elected by a mass of people who aren’t very smart or kind. Their PR is ass and they should’ve been buying off mass media like cons. High road is obviously a dogshit tactic.

    Hell they can still do identity politics (not against to be clear, just a realist), just don’t mention during election cycles and try to keep dialogue about it minimal when media asks about it. Not like lying by omission or doing the opposite of what is claimed on the campaign trail stops the other fucking parties. I’m down for playing dirty.

      Agreed - it’s all about what they lead with. Focus on policies that benefit the middle class. Make those the centerpiece. Keep a strong equality game, but make sure people think of them as “the party for average Canadians.”
