Why Carney’s Trump Strategy Could Fail: David Eby’s Warning

<p>Mark Carney, “but Trump” doesn’t pay the damn bills.</p><p>David Eby called a snap election with Donald Trump front and centre. Then an Angus Reid poll put the BC Conservatives eight points ahead. Is this a warning about the political strategy Carney is counting on?</p><p>In this episode, I break down Eby’s election gamble and explain why I think campaigning against Trump has an expiry date. Canadians can dislike the American president and still demand answers from their own government.</p><p>You don’t get a free pass on affordability, housing or your record just because you point south.</p><p>The BC election isn’t decided. Angus Reid’s September 24 poll put the Conservatives at 43% and the NDP at 35%, while a separate Liaison poll released September 23 had the NDP ahead. These are competing snapshots, and my argument about what they mean for Carney is political commentary.</p><p>Listen, then tell me: is the “but Trump” routine wearing thin?</p><p>Follow BertaProudDad on Spotify for more Canadian political commentary.</p><p>Wear your opinion:<br><a href="https://bertaprouddad.com/">https://BertaProudDad.com</a></p><p>Watch on YouTube:<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@BertaProudDad">https://www.youtube.com/@BertaProudDad</a></p><p>Sources:<br>Angus Reid:<br><a href="https://angusreid.org/ballot-backlash-bc-conservatives-open-8-point-lead-after-snap-election-call-but-electorate-far-from-locked-in/">https://angusreid.org/ballot-backlash-bc-conservatives-open-8-point-lead-after-snap-election-call-but-electorate-far-from-locked-in/</a></p><p>Liaison Strategies:<br><a href="https://press.liaisonstrategies.ca/bc-ndp-leads-conservatives-41-to-36-as-election-begins/">https://press.liaisonstrategies.ca/bc-ndp-leads-conservatives-41-to-36-as-election-begins/</a></p>
