Well that makes one of us.

So the US is now kidnapping Canadian citizens from Canadian territory? Maybe our own Coast Guard needs to be deployed to defend us from these criminals?

I actually agree with you that Carney will ultimately serve to be an albatross around the neck of the Liberal party and probably serve up a majority to the CPC come next election. Though from the other end of things, I suspect his implementing neoliberal policy that continues to fail to address most pressing issues will sour him on a lot of the coalition he put together to win this go around. 30% of the budget going to the military is going to get a lot less popular if housing doesn’t improve or health transfers get cut.

Once again, you’re ignoring the context around the last election to minimize the Conservative collapse. They were looking at an easy historic win until a world event happened and the Liberals were able to capitalize on it and the Conservatives couldn’t. Not a great demonstration of Poilievre’s ability to roll with the punches and play the game.

I assume this was meant to be in reply to my comment. I highly disagree with your contention that the threat of Trump is overblown. But put that aside. Let’s say I grant it, you’re absolutely right and the Liberals used the situation at the time to their advantage and pulled victory from the jaws of defeat.

Uh, so what? That’s the game. Poilievre tried to paint himself as a protector of Canada as well and the country didn’t buy it, at all. That’s on him and his leadership. It’s not a mitigation of his failure that he got rope-a-doped by what was looking to be a dead Liberal party.

That’s sort of ignoring the context where they were sailing to an easy majority a few months before the election.

Not to mention this asshole getting a do-over is costing the Canadian taxpayer a bit of money. I expect a personal thank you note for the charity, Poilievre.

Ideally by dying.

[Edit] Of natural causes, if that wasn’t clear. Whatever had him puffed up like a blowfish recently, maybe.

Oh wow, a child rapist thinks I’m nasty? I’ll get right on caring about that some other lifetime.

Nice.

NIMBYs are demanding to talk to the province’s manager.

This is a cult schism. Epstein is the point of cleavage between the grifters and the grifted. The grifters believe in nothing and would of course accept Trump trying to make the list go away because what they care about is keeping the gravy train going. The grifted, though, really believe in a cabal of powerful people molesting children. And however destructive they have been as a political force, they actually want to end what they think is a terrible ongoing crime. They won’t just accept it being swept under the rug.

Here is an additional report on the foreign ownership of Alberta’s oil production. It’s the prime example of how Canada is treated as a resource colony by the USA.

Carney was kind enough to let you squat in Stornoway, Pierre. Pretty ungrateful.

For the record, I’m not trying to make any accusations towards you. When I said ‘you’ in the previous comment take it to mean the general you. From the comments of yours I’ve read you seem like a good person to me.

Cutting off your leg is tough but doable.

I doubt many people are claiming that just having investments makes you bad. But depending on the specific nature of the investments, you could be. If someone ran out and invested in GardaWorld (or had them and didn’t divest) after finding out they took part in building that concentration camp in Florida, I’d certainly judge them, as an example. But even casting it as a question of morality is beside the point, I think. It’s a question of conflicts of interest. The personal wealth of our Prime Minister seems to be significantly tied up in the success of American industry. In the context of our current relations with the USA, that doesn’t concern you even a little bit? Particularly considering the honestly pretty soft stance he’s taken towards them post election?

The Honourable Donald J. Trump, President of the United States of America.

Man…Fuck Trump.

[Edit] Oh, and Carney is invested in Palantir, along with seemingly every other American big tech company he possibly could be including the likes of Alphabet, Meta, AirBNB, DoorDash, Uber, Amazon, etc. No wonder he rolled over on the DST so easily.

[Edit to the edit] Also American weapons manufacturers such as Lockheed-Martin, Northrop Grumman, L3Harris.

It might just. Fox News made a big deal about how the government was oppressing the “trucker” convoy. It may be enough of a show for his base that Trump accepts the asylum claim like he did for those white South Africans.

That life is only going to get a little worse when we cut social programs to buy F35s.
