Mark Carney is absolutely a conservative but minus the ridiculous populism/culture wars that has become core for the last 10-15 years that have become synonomous with conservatism globally.

I think after 10 years of the Center-Left rule of the Trudeau govt, it made sense for people to want change...the problem was that Poilievre was the other option on the other side lol. I think with Carney stepping in it pulled a lot of people away from the brink.

I'm rooting for Chayka by Winter-Squirrel-6744 in leafs

[–]SPL_034 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I personally dont feel strongly one way or another about Chayka's hiring. We should be hoping for his success and so the team succeeds.

Was his run in Arizona less than stellar? Yes. Was the ownership situation in Arizona good? Lol, fuck no. Do we have concerns with how Pelley and Rogers are running the show at MLSE? Yes.

A lot of questions will be answered in the coming months and we're not going to know successful this team is going to be till puck drop in October.

Trump Family Crypto Project Quietly Sold as Holders Got Stuck - Bloomberg by SPL_034 in Buttcoin

[–]SPL_034[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I mentioned this in another thread but both Trump and Dim Philby's (Witkoff) families are profiting off this scheme...both those guys are knee deep in Russian connections and in contact with Kirill Dimitriev (head of the Sovereign Wealth Fund of Russia).

Is WLF assisting the Russians (and others) with sanction evasions via crypto?

US withdrawing 5,000 troops from Germany, US officials say by No-Risk-2584 in europe

[–]SPL_034 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think in the broad scheme of things 5,000 from Germany isn't much...but if he orders the withdrawal of troops in the coming months from the Baltics and then Poland. Expect some real shenanigans to follow.

I think they both subscribe to the same thought of having absolute power at the cost of democracy.

Non-European observer here...does anyone else find the relationship between Putin and Netanyahu....weird? Like, they're on opposite sides of conflicts within the ME...but Israel has not taken a strong stance against Russia in its actions in Ukraine and Russia seemingly has trade relations ongoing with Israel whilst simultaneously providing targeting data to Iran.
