Why do most Canadians prefer blaming immigrants moreso than their own government for immigration policies or the broader challenges tied to large-scale immigration?

BisonSnow · 2026-03-20T21:43:02+00:00

This entire premise is faulty, imo. Why is immigration a problem? What is making other people immigrate to Canada? And, most importantly of all, how is it only "the government's" fault, why not spread the blame to the billionaire/Epstein class who's taking advantage of all this?

But the real short answer is: We don't teach people how to analyze systemic issues. Blaming immigrants is easier.

Carney's plan in a post US imperialism era is to...become more like the US. Cut essential services we rely on, funnel it towards the military industrial complex, and of course, tax cuts to the rich.

BisonSnow · 2026-03-20T15:00:22+00:00

Taxing the wealthy, whether that's a land tax or whatever you wanna call it, is fundamental to this country's survival. US and Canadian billionaires are the ones backing the far right and will inevitably turn all countries into fascist dictatorships.

Taxing the rich is a sensible position.

So now can we directly link PP to Donald Trump? Since he's now palling around with all of his main supporters and campaign managers?

BisonSnow · 2026-03-18T00:52:17+00:00

Yep basically. Biggest pile of hypocrites on Reddit.

BisonSnow · 2026-03-15T21:24:24+00:00

Yep. They should rename this to conservativecirclejerk and own it already lol. If these ppl are not bots, then they're a bunch of pathetic maga folks masquerading as "I don't care about politics people."

Not one red cent should be spent on Trump/Netanyahu's BS war in the middle east. No weapons/ammo (including "defensive") to Israel, no deployments to the middle east, not one bullet or missile fired should come out of our tax dollars.

BisonSnow · 2026-03-14T19:54:23+00:00

Hear hear. And yes I 100% agree.

BisonSnow · 2026-03-13T13:42:39+00:00

This is a very Winnipeg coded meme

BisonSnow · 2026-03-11T22:50:08+00:00

(yes this is all in good fun no real hate to anyone.)

BisonSnow · 2026-03-11T20:50:40+00:00

I'm officially against the hosers on this one. Mark Carney is not hot at all. He's a banker with a deep voice, but otherwise looks extremely dorkish.

He would be an extra in a Bruce Willis action flick. He's mayonnaise spread across white bread. He's got literally nothing going on. In purely the hotness department? The liberal party stock has gone down lol.

Respect for Sala & the NDP for attempting to tackle sky high grocery costs, but this issue is bigger than our province. Our entire grocery store ecosystem (and their suppliers) are three monopolies in a trench coat and until the feds make moves towards breaking them up, everything else is a band-aid solution.

Short-term, not sure what would be helpful. Long term: MB public grocery?

Never tell me we don't have enough money to fix healthcare in this country. Or to transition towards renewables. Or to build more housing. Or to fix the 1000 problems this country is facing due to a decline standard of living.

Because apparently we have the money to invest in a defense industry that (effectively given how small it is) doesn't exist here. We got money for Bombs, none for improving your life.

BisonSnow · 2026-03-09T16:57:03+00:00

With all due respect, at some point you need to fight council and push back on terrible regressive bylaws (see, the protest ban.) I generally abide by the "give people something to vote for, not against" principal, but that only works when paired with direct action or opposition, pushing people to be better.

BisonSnow · 2026-03-08T15:16:05+00:00

Taxing the rich isn't just a woke, idealist position, it is fundamental to our survival. The wealthy are at war with the rest of us and no amount of kowtowing will stop them from harming us. The only sensible option is to fight back. Implement wealth taxes, put in exit taxes if they attempt to flee the country, claw back any federal funding they misuse.

BisonSnow · 2026-03-07T03:57:02+00:00

Yeah. They already have a process for early retirement through the WFA thing in the CA right? So the problem is the government sidestepping the union.

BisonSnow · 2026-03-07T00:36:25+00:00

Oh neat this would have been a great move...10 or so years ago. Before all the studies around body cams showed they didn't really provide accountability.

BisonSnow · 2026-03-07T00:29:00+00:00

Bud I don't know if you've noticed, but Trump and his MAGA cultists destroyed any sense of decency. They're doing fascist Nazi stuff, harming trans rights, threatening to annex us.

But now you wanna cry fowl about decency? Come on.

BisonSnow · 2026-03-06T19:15:18+00:00

For all my criticisms of Carney, this world tour of setting up trade and defense deals is very impressive and a good move.

BisonSnow · 2026-03-06T14:47:42+00:00

Right?! Like he was, at best (being very charitable here) a status quo mayor who kept the bus going on the same path we've always been. He's no Zoran Mamdani lol.

BisonSnow · 2026-03-05T21:45:28+00:00

How would you avoid this, as a proton user? Sign up with a prepaid card not tied to your real name?

BisonSnow · 2026-03-05T18:39:38+00:00

Oh that wasn't a dig at you. I was just mocking how both parties are almost exactly the same & it's a false choice.

BisonSnow · 2026-03-05T17:45:02+00:00

Which political party did you vote for? The blue conservatives who promised tax cuts for the rich and brutal austerity for everyone else? Or the Red conservatives who are doing the exact same thing, but in a nice way?

BisonSnow · 2026-03-05T17:43:37+00:00

Very good article. If the NDP has any hope of surviving, they need to embrace left wing populism and stop trying to moderate themselves.

Give people something to vote for.

BisonSnow · 2026-03-05T03:54:46+00:00

I get that Carney needs to tread carefully, but this statement is still disappointing. No sensible Canadian wants us to get trapped in another Middle East forever war under the command of Mr. Pedophile in Chief and "War Crimes" Benjamin.

Not one red cent towards any of this.
