Governments running to the right, while unions turn out to bring down the government!

And ruin Carney's chances of being elected again, seeing as the Bloc and NDP potentially just won back all of the support they lost to the liberals last time.

This is the year that never stops giving! The news won’t stop newsing, and Carney won’t stop moving to the right. This week, the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Carney and Smith may have permanently jeapordized his chances of continuing his reign in Canada. Quebec media and Quebec communities are upset, and are being pushed towards the Bloc Quebecois at an alarming rate. Meanwhile, in BC, lower mainland voters are upset, alongside much of the NDP in the province. How will the MOU affect the voters in the next election? We’re going to find out!

Then, unions turn up in force! Fifty thousand members of unions came out on Saturday to fight back against the Quebec government, which is resembling more and more a far right nationalist government (wow that’s a terrible sentence to say!) who wants to destroy unions, end LGBTQ rights, and give the rich more power while diminishing social services. Hmm why do all these things sound so historically familiar?
