Well, I don't think anyone is saying there is a law against it, but if all his ideas were wrong and he has to plagiarize at the last minute, it speaks to his capability to form any good ideas of his own.

It speaks to his recognizing it was an unpopular policy, and nothing else.  You're basically trying to argue that not doing the stupid thing that everyone knows is stupid is plagiarizing, because someone else called it stupid already.  🥴

But they were all in favor of the carbon tax until the last minute. So it calls into question how committed they are to actually getting rid of the tax. 

True enough, and Carney's been pro taxing carbon for a long time. 

Even so, is Carney a "thief" for ditching an unpopular Liberal policy, and not giving Poilievre the easy target he'd prefer?

Was it the carney's idea? No. It was Poilievre's idea and platform.

The carbon tax was unpopular.  The only "idea' Poilievre had was to campaign against it, and it was good fodder for him.  Now that Trudeau is gone and Carney has walked away from the carbon tax,  PP is just punching at air, and that's what you're probably more upset about than anything. 

Now he has to come up with something better than a low-brow 3-word slogan. 

To say it's "stealing" to abandon bad policy is really weird logic.

I said "I heard a rumour", which leaves the reader with the full knowledge that what I'm about to say is still just at the hearsay level.

I heard a rumour that Pierre Poilievre isn't actually a biological male, and that he goes to furry conventions.  It might not be true, but we should definitely talk about that too.  🤡

Up until a couple days ago, PP was still spending millions on pamphlets and advertisements squawking juvenile three-word slogans in a political environment deeply and negatively focused against the master of juvenile three-word slogans.  

This sort of self-inflicted injury is a gift to his opponents, and they're wise to just step back and let him hurt himself as long as it lasts.

By contrast, Poilievre and Byrne seem to have generated a fair bit of resentment in the party with their open contempt for the opinions of others and it’s coming home to roost now. 

I said it when he took control of the Conservatives, but Poilievre was pretty much the only guy who could lose the next election for the Conservatives.  If they win the election, it'll be in spite of him and because of the Liberals' shitty record.  If the Liberals win, it'll because of Carney, and in spite of the Liberal's shitty record.  Weird contrast.

I quoted to you what Carney said. 

“It’s time to build more cars right here at home with an All-In-Canada auto manufacturing network.” — Mark Carney, X, March 26

   In effect he is not supporting free trade, just like Trump.  If you refuse to accept it, you have a problem.

Yeah, you quoted it, and you those are some pretty funny mental gymnastics you're doing to take that, and turn it into what you say it means.  🙃

As I already mentioned, if he was against free trade, why would he be promoting expanding it with Europe?  That's a question you won't answer, because it doesn't fit in with your worldview.

Carney basically agrees with Trump in opposing free trade.   It not complicated.  Carney said it on X a couple days ago.

Carney's opposed to the chaos that Trump's tariff circus causes, and the fact that he's made it clear we can't trust the USA to uphold the deals they make.  If he was opposed to free trade, why has he been talking about expanding it in Europe?  When you can answer that question, maybe we can take what you're saying seriously.

Yes, but what about Mark Carney's comments which seem to agree with Trump?

What comments are those, exactly?  

The fact that the US is proving itself (and not just to Canada) to be a fickle, unreliable partner is wrong somehow?  Trump has ripped up the trade deal that he pushed for in the first place.  Why would Canada want to continue relying on that sort of nonsense for its economic well-being?

I don't have to pretend anything. You are trying to have a different argument now over how much of a threat something is after you already tried to claim no leverage whatsoever. 

What's the relevant point here?  Whether Trump has actually applied any meaningful pressure, or my wording of my phrase? 

Since even you know that these sanction threats amount to little, the only thing you have left is to obfuscate and play your usual word games.

Well... you are trying to have it both ways here. You want to play the extremes saying Trump is not doing anything towards Russia:

"While no leverage or pressure was applied to Russia whatsoever.  "

But then when I point out what he is doing then you want to downplay it. 

It's not downplaying if the threat is basically meaningless.  Please keep pretending that more American sanctions are really going to dial up the pressure on Russia though.  That's totally credible.  🙃

Yes, whack-a-mole indeed.  Even the most feeble deflection you can manage counts as a big victory in your little cult-brain.  Let's pretend you had a point then:

Your argument is that because Trump hasn't handed any further massive propaganda wins to Putin, that means...what, exactly?  Beyond your usual word games, what was your point here?

He legitimized it, publicly and unequivocally.  That's toothpaste you can't put back in the tube - permanent damage to Ukraine's position and a permanent gift to Putin's propaganda.

"He said a stupid thing" is a pretty feeble response, all things considered.  Pretty massive "oopsy" if that's all it was.  🙃

Sooooo you just proved you lied.  I never said someone who has a doctorate isn't an economist.  I said  it's a stretch to call them an economist if they never used their degree, and then i said if someone works for a bank, they're a banker and  that carney never worked as an economist. All of which is true. 

Nope, because Mark Carney has an economics doctorate from a prestigious economics program, and you're trying to tell us he's not an economist somehow, or that he's never used his degree?  

Either statement you're making is categorically retarded, especially considering monetary policy itself is an important part of macroeconomics....something they teach in...economics.  🤡👌

So what you're saying is you're very comfortable making up something I never said and then arguing against that because you can't cope with the truth. Fair enough I understand.

Here's a list of your quotes, in the part of this thread where you spent a whole page arguing how Carney wasn't an economist:

"Banker yes, economist no."

"It means you have a Doctorate. Which means you've been educated on the subject. But unless you've actually done it it's a bit of a stretch to say you're an economist."

"Carney worked for a bank, and never as an economist.  I would call him a banker because that's what he did, never as an economist"

If I said anything as stupid as you did here, I'd want to pretend I didn't as well, but it's easy to prove you're lying, as you normally do.
