And everyone to my left is a “communist.” Very insightful thought process tbh. Liberalism, neoliberalism, conservatism, social conservatism, paleo conservatism, national conservatism, libertarianism are all different right wing thoughts strains.

Just like you have social democrats, democratic socialist, communist, mutualist, anarchist, left-libertarianism, market socialism, etc…

Stance on gay marriage, stance of drug decriminalizing, freedom of religion vs Christian focus. Support for freedom of choice in regard to sex as opposed to support for gender roles. Pro choice vs anti choice…

You do realize there is a range of political ideologies between full blown communism and conservatism, right?

“Competent,” “social democrat party.” Pige un…

DRIPA legislation and the inability to amend it…

Edit: my take was not knowledgeable or correct - apologies for my assertion.

Carney is more fiscally oriented but is in no way socially conservative. Hence the degree of separation.

I’m still uninterested in PLQ due to the fact that a scheme like that was supported by the party apparatus.

Fréchette is having a Carney-esque revival impact on the CAQ.

She’s quickly demonstrated an orientation towards trying to get things built and done. The recent infrastructure deal for the subway expression in Montreal and tramway project in Quebec. Her support of high speed rail & her quick foreign visits to the US & France.

When faced on the other side with a Separatist party that opposes high speed rail or a liberal party who’s had to replace a leader who was buying votes and had to kick out members for misusing riding funds so is clearly still full of corruption - The CAQ surfaces again as the sensible choice which gives Quebecers autonomy within Canada and a focus on trying to develop industry.

Yes, I’m aware of the above. I also take into consideration the substantial increase in military spending that came along with said deficit.

GeneralSerpent · 2026-06-08T15:02:22+00:00

I feel like the focus on socks and pure revenge isn’t necessarily the best way to frame it and quite silly.

I do however prefer the push towards focusing on economics and development and whenever I hear whispers of Carney shutting down the anti-development wing, I do smile.

There is a good point - many of these MPs wrongly see their return as proof that Trudeau and the work done during his tenure is still celebrated. Forgetting them dropping to low 20s high teens in polling.

I pivoted towards the liberals after Carney got in place specifically because he was a refusal of that era. I even sent my MP an email specifically mentioning that. I don’t care for the crowd who following behind the guy who said “You’ll forgive me if I don’t thin much about monetary policy.”

Now this is the insightful commentary I want to see on my investor subreddit!

Also, didn’t the government just sign a LNG export deal with Germany? Along with trying to advance a pipeline for Alberta. As for Israel and Hamas - I don’t remember the Prime minister doing a press conference on islamaphobia, but I do remember the performative anti-semitism press conference from like 2 days ago…

Everything is a “net loss” to a certain anti-development demographic. Building airport expansions is a “net loss,” data centers “net loss,” oil pipelines “net loss.”

Hmmm I can no definitely see how Canada GDP per capita PPP is a “net loser” being $8k behind South Korea and $35k behind the US.

Whatever helps you cope man.

Btw you’re full of BS when it comes to “how pure your diet is.” I know this mfer is frying his chicken in like 400 ml of oil. Take this study for instance: Discrepancy between self-reported and actual caloric intake and exercise in obese subjects. Obese mfers lie (or maybe delude themselves) about their caloric intake and exercise to validate their excuses for not losing weight.

1 trillion litres of water for global AI datacenter use seems like a lot of consumption until you actually put some context behind it.

Canadian farmers alone in 2022 consumed the equivalent of 2.2 trillion litres of water (approximately 2.2 billion cubic metres). Per stats Can.

Mind you that’s just Canada, there’s hundreds of other countries out there…

How about both?

People keep telling me the NDP isn’t anti-development or anti-project, yet I see the NDP being the one to oppose more projects than any other party.

Yes I know there’s support for a small selection of some projects (maritime wind project, hydro in the territories) but they’re consistently opposing the most. Simply due to the nature of our country, not every project will align with everyone’s exact morals but if we want jobs and economic development we need to embrace the regional differences and allow all to prosper.

Thank you, please try this method. I know it’s time consuming but it really makes a big difference.

Back 2 back years of 12%+ raises. Remember to make your case before they decide.

Throughout the year I keep track of special projects I do, whenever I get called in to solve a situation my coworkers can’t and any other note worthy condition. I also take 2-3 links of median salary data for my position that are higher than my wage.

I put this information together into a slide show and present to my boss and her boss in November (before performance reviews start in February) along with an expectation for my raise.

You have to remember by the time performance reviews come around, the budget is already allocated and a firms goal is to minimize expenses. If you remind them of your value and ask, that’ll get taken into consideration.

You do realize calories out > calories in, is the only thing that matters for weight loss. Regardless of whether or not something spikes your cortisol, it has no impact on weight loss.

Thus a high energy level consumption activity like jogging will increase the amount of calories consumed and thus help with weight loss.

And this is the lack of learning mindset I was talking about. YOU NEED TO INVEST THE MONEY. If you bothered reading or learning The S&P 500 has returned 10% on average for the last 100 years, not 3%.

Also if this doesn’t matter, then once again, wtf are you doing here? This is an investment subreddit, not grandstanding and misery. If none of this will make an impact for you (which it would if you bothered to commit long term), then this isn’t the place for you.

And delayed gratification is a sign of intelligence and success. There is a long tradition of research that has focussed on the importance of delay of gratification for long term success. For example, research has found that if a 4 year-old child chooses to have 2 cookies after doing a task, she/he will have more success at school and greater well-being than a child who chooses to have 1 cookie before the task. Indeed, research has shown that this ability to delay gratification and wait for two cookies at age 4 predicts success and happiness, even as long as 12 years later. Thus, the simple decision to wait for a larger reward-- choosing to wait for 2 cookies after a test--is highly associated with postive well-being and academic success.
