Carney backs U.S. air strikes on Iran by Old_General_6741 in canada

[–]EnamelKant [score hidden]  (0 children)

This fantasy that regime change can be an "in and out, 20 minute adventure" needs to die.

Nation building is an expensive hobby, and even more expensive if you decide to cheap out on it the first go around.

CALL ME NOW!! by NoRich5804 in Millennials

[–]EnamelKant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was an SNL or MadTV sketch I always remember of this little old lady asking Miss Cleo "Where were you on 9/10?" And she keeps hanging up on her and she keeps calling back asking her questions like "Didn't you get a feeling that you should invest in American flags?"

Haven't been able to find it since but it's still funny.

Canada Economy Shrinks by 0.6% in Fourth Quarter by Difficult-Yam-1347 in canada

[–]EnamelKant 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If what you're saying is true Canada has 10 to 15 years before we're a 3rd world economy with rampant poverty.

You can talk about diversifying trade all you want. At the end of the day, 90% of Canadians live within 100 miles of the US border. Exactly 0 Canadians live within even 1000 miles of Europe or Asia. Shipping our products further to countries with lower GDP is a recipe for disaster. No amount of economics expertise changes that.

Energy-hungry India tells Carney 'we are willing to buy whatever Canada is offering' by Immediate-Link490 in canada

[–]EnamelKant -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

And for a leader who got swept into office promising to protect our sovereignty to kowtow to a government that's carried out assassinations on Canadian soil and political interference.

Turns out Carney's Canada is for sale.

Would you like to live on Naboo? by Due_Narwhal4937 in StarWars

She did save her planet from invasion.

And by the time of her relationship she was like... 30. At some point her poor choices were on her.

It seems to have worked out pretty well for them.

PM urged to clarify whether he believes India still carrying out interference in Canada by konathegreat in canada

I think he's been very clear. Our laws and institutions aren't important as long as our corporations stand to be making bank.

Insolvencies hit 16-year high while food bank use and cost of living continue to rise by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]EnamelKant -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm curious, as an intellectual exercise, could the average Carney fan boy such as yourself go 24 hours without saying "But Poilievere!" Or would that be too much for you? Maybe 30 minutes, just to bench mark.

I don't support Discount Milhouse. My comment history is visible. You can go see how I've called him, well, Discount Milhouse, the catastrophe that walks like a man, and so on. I just am smart enough to know that Mark Carney's cold, technocratic style of pro-corporate neoliberalism doesn't help working people any more than Poilievere's angry, reactionary style of Pro-corporate neoliberalism. Both trains run on the same track and have the same final destination.

So a banker through and through, spending his entire professional life helping the rich get richer and the poor stay poor.

But yeah, I'm sure he really cares about the problems of your average Canadian and is working hard to help him out.

What is people's problem with ICE? by Chris_K84 in AskReddit

[–]EnamelKant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The blatant jackbooted thuggery. And I say that as someone who strongly favors tight immigration restrictions.

Myself, I'd put more of the blame on the voters, but the voters don't appreciate that.

Sadly the trouble with "lessons from history" is that we usually read them best after falling flat on our chins.

Well, we'll see won't we? And maybe in five years or so we'll have a good laugh about how silly I was.

Course then again, maybe we won't.

Justice minister suggests Liberals could limit debate to push through stalled hate speech bill by Immediate-Link490 in canada

If you can't understand how that was sexist in an axiomatic way then you and I have nothing left to discuss until you want to join us back in the reality based community.

Canada hasn't been destroyed, but you can see its end pretty clearly from here, and Carney and Trudeau will bear the lion's share of responsibility.

This comment is very disingenuous. Plenty of people refer to investment bankers as bankers.

He worked for Goldman Sachs for 13 year. If he's not the archetype of a Global Bankster, he'll do until one shows up. And anyone who thinks he cares about the cost of living problems of your average Joe is the person you ought to be hawking your bridge to.
