Liberals now bragging about Carney accusing Poilievre of ‘not believing in Canada’

The Liberal Party of Canada used Carney's QP line as their social media opener today. Not a mistake. Not a walk-back. Their chosen opening line: the leader of the official opposition doesn't believe in Canada. Jim did not see it coming. He is not angry. He is sad. And he wants to explain exactly why this kind of politics has a known historical endpoint. Topics covered: ► The Liberal Party of Canada posting Carney's QP line as their official social media opener today, making "the leader of the opposition doesn't believe in Canada" their leading message rather than retracting or softening it after the exchange, with Jim noting his sadness and shock that no one in the Liberal caucus appears to have said this was too far ► Jim's core historical argument: when governments frame political opposition as disloyalty to the nation rather than criticism of policy, the documented historical endpoint is not an election loss or a bad news cycle but violence, because labelling opponents as traitors removes the premise on which democratic debate depends ► Ryan Turnbull, Liberal MP, posting that Conservatives spread misinformation, obfuscate, cherrypick, and put party above country, with Iain identifying this as the most consistent feature of progressive political communication: accusing opponents of the very things they themselves do, which he describes as the principal rhetorical tool of the left ► Poilievre's challenge to Carney today: asking him to appear in the House at 2:15 to debate the recession, the United Way report on Canadians who cannot afford to eat, and what he will do to reverse the damage, with Jim noting this is the constitutional role of the opposition and calling the patriotism response to it an example of demagoguery ► The pattern Jim and Iain identify: a prime minister who moved his corporate head office out of Canada accusing the opposition of not believing in Canada, a party that manufactured a majority accusing the opposition of putting party above country, a party that subsidises the media accusing others of spreading misinformation ► The Alto farmer protest: farmers, landowners, and workers showing up on Parliament Hill to say no to the $90 billion high-speed rail project, with Jim noting that the people suckling off the pig are going to fight hard to keep it, and Conservatives promising to cancel it if they form government ► The spaceport backdated contract: Jim citing Michael Cooper's report that an executive walked away with $1.8 million in a deal connected to the spaceport, with the contract backdated to give the company a year of payments before construction began, at $10 million per year for a concrete pad When a governing party makes "the official opposition doesn't believe in Canada" its social media opening line, are they doing politics or something more dangerous?
