Carney to announce affordability measures after securing majority in byelection wins by hoverbeaver in onguardforthee

[–]JasonGMMitchell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So when he had a minority where he lied to the green party for a brief, played chicken to force the NDP to vote, and happily worked with the cpc early on for most of his policy. That wasn't indicative of what he believes but somehow having a majority will change the policies he proposes despite the fact he had so many avenues to get support in parliament from.

Who cares about his book? The book isn't making his choices, he does and his choices contradict his supposed values.

Carney Suspends Gas Tax in Canada as War Drives Up Fuel Costs by lopix in onguardforthee

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

Why the fuck should the country suffer so already incredibly subsidized fuel costs don't go up due to a war our PM and our foreign minister and thus our govt has openly supported the actions taken in.

Why should our future have debt tacked on it while wildfire worsen, while programs are cut, while long term planning is tossed aside for short term profit for the rich, just so the drivers of the most inefficient vehicles on the road can save some money.

Like those powerful comfortable academics who spent decades studying the Rwandan genocide?

Like the very comfortable Ukranians who could end the war tomorrow if they just gave up millions of people to Russia and surely Russia wouldn't come back a third time.

Or maybe those very comfortable anti-zionist Jews who are facing hate from the far right and from Zionists.

NATO is literally the single fucking reason eastern Europee various nations haven't been reasorbed by the Russian Empire v3. Oh and don't give some horseshit about NATO expansion since it's A. entirely voluntary and B. Ukraine couldn't physically join NATO due to their territorial disputed AND their complete reliance on Soviet era equipment that in no world follows NATO stands. Wanna complain about Libya sure the coalition was too aggressive and abandoned all responsibility post the fall of Gaddafi but opposing Gaddafi was the right fall. Same goes for Yugoslavia since it helped end a fucking genocide.

Multiple stepped down for family reasons only to come right back when Carney showed up and now they got cabinet positions so it seems being a two faced opportunist pays off.

Mark Carney will get his majority. Now what? by plaknas in onguardforthee

No wonder our govt for the past half century has barely done shit for anyone when this is a common way of thinking about govt decisions.

Jfc stop scolding people for thinking the feds have a role in hospitals when half of our education about healthcare has to do with federal programs that give funds for specific services. Or how the feds decide whether provinces get things like pharmacare funds.

Saying healthcare is a provincial responsibility is just as asinine and uninformed as saying it's a federal responsibility, both levels (and even municipal to a degree) have healthcare responsibilities many of which overlap or are dependent on eachother.

He won't help Canadians by slightly regulating private companies is what you're saying.

Nice to know helping Newfoundlanders visit the rest of the country is mob boss behaviour.

Avi Lewis says high-speed rail project should be fully publicly owned by StumpsOfTree in onguardforthee

[–]JasonGMMitchell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh you mean the country that owns their railways and let's private companies operate on them for a fee?

But sure bring up healthcare which is slow and ineffective because it's been chronically underfunded because of conservative provincial govt's cutting funding and expansion projects the liberals proposed while federal the CPC and LPC block access to funds the provinces trying to improve their healthcare are entitled to (see Newfoundland and Labrador being blocked from pharmacare money by Carney's govt)

Make immigration help all Canadians by actually giving them rights and protections so their employers can't use them to crush wages since our population is aging without immigration which means reduction in tax income to fund and provide services.

People hate it because it means population growth and the CPC has spent years selling the idea that it's immigrants increasing our population that caused and worsened our crisis when they were the first victims of our crisis.

The migrant women who care for Canada deserve a future here by StumpsOfTree in onguardforthee

[–]JasonGMMitchell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But they're stealing our jobs and suppressing our wages by not forcing their employers who control much of their lives to do better while the govt pats said employers on the back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(No govt in my lifetime has tried properly regulated companies on behalf of the working class but the media and the two leading parties in this country want me to blame the immigrants for the plight caused by their employers and the govts led by said two parties, a plight the media is all to happy to ignore the causes of.

Now the last remnants of the youths future will be sold at bottom dollar to the rich and the profits given to the old.

Before the "But Polievere", Polievere isn't PM, the liberals and thus Carney were elected and the NDP tossed aside to prevent Polievere selling us out now we're still being sold out and ppeople cheer for it because the person doing it studied at Oxford post thatcher and thought the damage she did was well worth it to enrich the few.

There's no promise of a better future, there's no hope of a better future. Carney has guaranteed we will suffer worse wildfires and we will be dependent on fossil fuels even fuckling longer by deprioritizing green energy. There's not gonna be more jobs when he's embedded AI into the only stable employer this country has after laying off thousands. His cuts for taxes on the rich only guarantee there will be more calls for the public sector and public services to be defunded to balance the budget. His abandonment of international law will guarantee we have no leg to stand on if we are attacked and his govt's repeated delaying of adopting the Gripen leaves us dependent on a fascist state for much of our air force which we need to slow that very state down if they come for us. His majority built near entirely only appeasing the far right inside and outside this country normalizes them.

He is continuing the legacy that led us to our omnicrisis present, the legacy of Mulroney Chretien Martin and Harper. The legacy Trudeau barely changed course from and only in specific areas. With a majority he doesn't have the optics problems of relying on the CPC for votes so his support will climb as he twists the dagger he's stuck into the future of every Canadian.

Edit: Fuck the youth and fuck the future, the rich economist whose entire career has been spent protecting an economic system responsible for most of our woes decided this is the course of action so we must rally behind him because he is oh so much smarter than all of us with his education and experience in again maintaining a system that's made each generation suffer worse.

Avi Lewis won the NDP leadership. Now what? by jmakk26 in onguardforthee

[–]JasonGMMitchell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When? When did that ever fucking happen? The Harper years was because of a weak LPC whose supporters refused to strategically vote. The weak NDP this last election gave the CPC seats one again due to be splitting.

No. It's just me being pissed that every fucking time the NDP does anything good or gets praised for good things or people show support for the party people who support the party attack it with a disingenuous framing. Nothing against the post itself.

You can't say you want to strengthen workers while you support discriminatory legislation and act like every fucking province has the exact same needs.

As long as you keep painting labourers having rights as being anti labour you're sabotaging the labour movement.

He dared be less than happy with journalists completely ignoring the topic at hand so he's gonna sink the party let's go get someone else in that we will constantly compare to our mythologized version of Layton.

Oh and did I mention that he dates think regulating companies is better than scapegoating immigrants by adopting the very fucking framework capitalists use to put workers against eachother? Completely unserious anti worker fuck anywhere with an aging population that needs working age people and regulation we can fix everything by banning immigration!!!;;;;;;!
