A Liberal by the same name is not necessarily the same Liberal

There are Canadians who hoped that in voting for Mark Carney’s Liberals, some of some of Justin Trudeau’s social policies would survive. They are likely now wondering if this is the government that best represents them.

This is what some voters are now understanding after four months of watching Liberal Leader Mark Carney settle into the new role of prime minister.

Traditional NDP voters that went to the Liberals to prevent a Conservative government may be wondering where they can find the left-of-centre party, previously led by Justin Trudeau, that was making bold moves in health and environmental policy. The Liberals managed in this past election to turn seven NDP seats their way (though it should be noted that the Conservatives were more successful, and landed 10 NDP seats).
