In perhaps his most disappointing policy announcement thus far, Carney has indicated he will scrap the Liberal's plan to increase the capital gains inclusion rate. This mildly progressive measure was directed squarely at the passive incomes of the wealthiest sliver of Canadians and would have served as a healthy revenue generator. Instead, it's destined for the scrapheap.

I've been saying for weeks now, thirty years ago this dude would've landed solidly Progressive Conservative.

I'm still gonna vote Liberal to keep PP out, but they ain't my preference.

And where would Trudeau land? Green party or the "green" party is my bet.

Right, because buying a pipeline to ensure it will be completed, allowing for even more oil extraction, is definitely the sort of thing the Green party would do...

You and me both. Carney is Progressive Conservative, whether that party still exists or not. And, yes, if I must, I must, although I've had it up to here with having to vote for a party I dislike just because the only other viable option is so much worse. There are days I shed a tear, even now, for Jack Layton: he was no more than mildly left, but, damn! I wish he'd had his chance!
