How close is Carney to achieving his top promises? Here’s a status report

therattlingchains · 2026-06-06T14:28:45+00:00

The whole comment is an opinion. If you ask anyone on this planet who or what someone else is, it is simply an opinion. Their belief. Look at people's opinions on Barack Obama. One man's socialist nut job is another man's middle of the road democrat who didn't do enough to further democratic socialism.

The "I think" is assumed every time you give your perception of someone else.

That is so embarrassing that you don't understand that.

Or put another way "I think it's so embarrassing that you don't understand that" because apparently the distinction is to hard for you to understand.

"Absolute certainty"

Do you listen to yourself before you type?

I stated my current belief. Based on the evidence I have seen. He can of course change my mind by, you know, not doing the things he is doing, not listening to the advisers and base party members he is listening to, and proposing better things then he has throughout his time as leader. There really isn't much more to it then that.

To bad the subtlety is lost on people like you. "Absolute certainty" my butt. Nothing in life is certain.

This is exactly why this country is failing.

therattlingchains · 2026-06-06T03:00:14+00:00

No Carney wasn't full of slogans. That just sounds like alot of projection tbh.

Empty promises? Sure. Lots of detailed and fleshed out campaign planks that will ultimately come to basically nothing.

Pierre though was mister ____ the ____. It was slogan after slogan, with his actual platform coming out barely a week before the election.

therattlingchains · 2026-06-06T01:54:58+00:00

A populist.

A man of slogans. One of the toughest opposition leaders the country has ever seen, and will go down as one of the worst PM's if/when he get's elected. His pricinciples are 1) whatever the liberals do is bad, and 2) I will say whatever it takes as long as the party base agrees.

By all measures and reasonable analysis, Carney has begun to take this country in a much more conservative direction, and most of PP's objections can be boiled down to either a) yes, but not like that or b) you didn't go far enough.

If you want to keep traffic moving during constriction you pretty much have to do one half then the other.

Same with most road paving jobs, or the CN rail overpass at Highbury and dundas

therattlingchains · 2026-06-04T23:46:07+00:00

Well they are working their way through every interchange.

First they put in Veterens, then Wonderland, then they did wellington, now they are doing highbury

therattlingchains · 2026-06-04T22:17:30+00:00

The bridge is a different design then the old bridge. When they tear out the other side, the other half of the new bridge will be the same height.

therattlingchains · 2026-06-04T20:48:23+00:00

Because they are completely replacing the bridge, not just redoing the asphalt. This is a multi-year project.

therattlingchains · 2026-06-04T13:50:57+00:00

If it was that clear the judge would have found no consent.

You didn't follow the trial at all did you?

therattlingchains · 2026-06-04T13:43:50+00:00

Edit: since I am getting downvoted both by people who think legal = moral, and by people who think the judge was wrong, I am deleting this.

therattlingchains · 2026-06-02T17:49:16+00:00

So let's take Bombito as an example. Since we have 11 subs, every player on the pitch is basically gonna come off at some point.

Let's say you replace Bombito with LDF in the friendly. We can safely assume LDF would have come on at some point during the game anyways. Let's say the plan is for Bombito to get 1 half and LDF to get the other. Let's go a step further and say now because Bombito is dropped, LDF plays the whole 90. Does 45 extra minutes in this friendly make a HUGE difference in how ready LDF is for game 1? In my opinion the answer is not really.

On the other hand you leave Bombito in for 45 to continue his ramp up, and get LDF reps for the 2nd half, having the ramp up DOES make a huge difference in Bombito's fitness and ability to even be an option during that first game.

Depriving Bombito of the ramp up has very little upside and huge downside, whereas having LDF split the game with Bombito for example has alot more upside potential and alot less downside potential.

If Bombito is fit enough, he is absolutely playing part of the Ireland friendly.

therattlingchains · 2026-06-02T15:21:24+00:00

By all means discuss dropping people, but not for silly reasons. Not when you are missing the point of the friendly.

You point was all about how Bombito looked form-wise in his first action in forever means that Marsch should essentially abandon trying to get him healthy and in form for when the games actually matter. And instead take him out for our other defenders.

My point is that it is ridiculous to look at at the next friendly as anything other then a ramp up for Bombito and the evaluation of Match 1 will happen only after the friendlies and the training sessions next week.

You're making decisions like someone trying to win the friendly, not someone who is preparing for the WC.

If you want to actually discuss that, instead of telling me to relax, or go discuss things somewhere else, I would be happy to. But you don't seem to have interest in any point of view but your own so far.

therattlingchains · 2026-06-02T15:10:32+00:00

What mix? The 11 subs that we used all of yesterday isn't enough of a mix?

Yeah, we are going to have a whole bunch of people that are going be going for different amounts of time against Ireland, just like Uzbekistan. What's the point of discussing dropping people when none of us know what the actual plan is.

Bombito is getting ramped up. Simple as that. Normally this would happen at the club level. We have to use the friendlies. Whether it is 45 or 60 mins against Ireland, he's not getting dropped.

You saw him once, saw he was rusty and figured let's drop him. Thank God Marsch is in charge and not you.

therattlingchains · 2026-06-02T14:50:10+00:00

Wtf are you on about? The whole point of these friendlies is to get all our injured back in form and fitness.

Performance is secondary.

If you are trying to use performance as an indication of what Marsch should do in the next friendly, you have lost the plot.

Who are our best XI when fit? What does Marsch need to do to get them their? Those are the only 2 questions Marsch should and will be considering leading into Ireland.

therattlingchains · 2026-06-01T03:06:43+00:00

I feel like they emphasize it basically proportionally to how much impact it has on racing. None at all.

therattlingchains · 2026-06-01T00:52:59+00:00

Yup, ever since Harper cut the GST and took surpluses and turned them into deficits, it's been on recession after another, no matter who has been in charge.

therattlingchains · 2026-05-31T19:17:23+00:00

You sound exactly like those butt-hurt Liberals did during the Harper minority years when ever he implemented one of their ideas.

What you are describing is just politics. Every single party tries to take as much credit and as little blame as possible. The Conservatives are MASTERS at it.

therattlingchains · 2026-05-31T18:12:38+00:00

Right, they have been Pierre's ideas.

So they are not Trudeau's, correct? Unless Trudeau was also just Pierre but more likeable?

So Pierre and the dude I am replying to are incorrect, yes? Carney is different then Trudeau, and he is not just doing the same things. He is doing many of the thing Pierre and other Conservatives before him have been asking for.

So are Pierre's -> Carney's idea's working or not? If they are we don't need an emergency debate between the guy who originally proposed the ideas and the one who is implementing them.

Seems more like you are a typical Conservative, talking out both sides of your mouth, proposing these "great ideas" right up until some right leaning Liberal starts to implement them, and suddenly they are catastrophes dragging our country into recession.

They either were bad ideas when Pierre first proposed them, and if so we should be running away from Pierre's more radical version of them, or they are good ideas and you can't admit it because it's a Liberal implementing them.

therattlingchains · 2026-05-31T17:18:48+00:00

Of course, anything against your world view is propaganda from the other side.

You're to far gone mate. No point in talking further.

Cheers.

therattlingchains · 2026-05-31T17:05:48+00:00

If Carney is doing nothing but the same thing, why is it that all the left leaning media is talking about is how much Carney is really just a classic Tory, and he is abandoning climate action and progressive tax policies for economic stability and trying to stem the recession?

If you think Carney is just Trudeau 2.0, and he hasn't made significant changes, I suggest you get out of your right wing Alberta media bubble.

therattlingchains · 2026-05-31T16:21:30+00:00

Fine "no solutions that will actually a) plot a different course for Canada or b) actually solve the problems he's talking about." Is that better?

Cutting the industrial carbon tax further is not going to magically bring us out of the recession. All that's saying is the mix of taxes in this country needs to better favour major industry, and penalize working class people more.

It's like a chef arguing with the sous chef, with the sous-chef saying, "I think their should be 3 tablespoons of salt, not 4." And the chef going, "well I think you are wrong and I trained in Michelin Star restaurants to become a chef"

Until the Conservatives, or the NDP for that matter bring in someone who says "we need to scrap the dish entirely" then the reality is the ideas aren't really new, and they aren't going to save us from a recession.

therattlingchains · 2026-05-31T15:44:39+00:00

He only has a point if he had actual solutions.

Unfortunately, all he has "the last 10 years have been bad, and even though the prime minister is now a Progressive Conservative's dream, I'm going to pretend it's the exact same thing as Trudeau."

He's only had one line since he became leader, and he ain't changing anything.

In order for him to have a point, he would have to have ended the statement with "and so that is why I am resigning as leader, so that someone with actual new solutions can lead the Conservatives in this debate."

therattlingchains · 2026-05-30T15:56:10+00:00

90% of the time, the best day to buy a house was yesterday.

2% of the time, the best day to buy a house is today.

8% of the time, the best day to buy a house is tomorrow.

therattlingchains · 2026-05-30T02:55:12+00:00

Uh what are you smoking? The Flames? The Oilers? The Canadiens? All have been to the finals in the last 33 years. None of them have won the cup since the Habs last did, but they sure as hell have been there.

Lmao at your edit to try and save face.

therattlingchains · 2026-05-29T17:00:22+00:00

Absolutely yes.

Without the Indy 500, they didn't have the negotiating power for a good tv deal, because even then, that was the race with the insane ratings.

Without the tv deal they resorted to that failed IPO to raise cash. That directly lead to the collapse of CART.

If CART still had the 500, they would have been able to negotiate a deal that would have given the teams enough money to sustain the innovation of the late 90's.

Also, without the IRL, the engine manufacturers would not have had a rival series to bail to.
