You talk about it like she just sat there, once she was appointed.

I think that discounts the agency that Lina Khan had and still has post appointment.

She speaks quite passionately about pro consumer economic policies and actually started cracking down on some of monopolies that hurt consumers. Hell of a lot more than I’ve seen from many US politicians recently.

Either way I don’t think I’m changing your mind so I’ll stop here.

And a broken clock is right twice a day. Just because a couple policies from a party are progressive doesn’t overwrite the fact that their founding tenants are hyper nationalistic (if you count Quebec as an independent nation).

On what planet is the BQ (bloq quebecois) a progressive party? NDP and green for sure.

Bloc are literally a Quebec only nationalist/separatist. The cons are angry at them because they “stole” a bunch of their Quebec voters/seats. If that’s your target audience you aren’t on the progressive end of the spectrum.
