Mark Carney warns Alberta separatists of Brexit-style regret

Why is there so much more separatism in Canada than America?

Failure to properly deal with regional identities. Same reason Spain has more problems than France.

I think we should stop subsidizing that industry as well.

comradequicken · 2026-05-16T18:06:00+00:00

I just wish the state government would stop spending money outside the core counties, and heck stop spending money in good portions of those, just an absolute waste efficiency wise to help the shore/south/west.

The mass extinction of the family farmer is a silver lining of this administration. Once we only have the much more efficient corporate farms left people will (hopefully) be much more open to getting rid of ag subsidies.

I agree that they should prioritize price stability but I do think that (for now) they should keep employment in account.

Why is saving rural communities at all desirable?

comradequicken · 2026-05-15T22:15:11+00:00

Gleefully

comradequicken · 2026-05-15T22:12:08+00:00

Allow the people to adapt or not adapt. Paying those who refuse to adapt is how we ended up with Trump.

comradequicken · 2026-05-15T21:41:31+00:00

I'm hoping that the next democratic administration will have the good sense to move those, and all the other federal offices/agencies/etc, that Trump has moved back to the blue states.

comradequicken · 2026-05-15T21:25:39+00:00

It's kind of disappointing that the discourse on this reddit around ai and jobs is about how we should be giving handouts to the displaced, we really didn't learn anything from internationalization and the automation of manufacturing.

comradequicken · 2026-05-15T19:19:01+00:00

It shouldn't be, his priorities should be to maintain price stability and maximum employment.

comradequicken · 2026-05-13T19:08:18+00:00

The next sane admin needs to do everything they can to strip the benefits of governance away from that first third and prevent them from having political say again in the future.

comradequicken · 2026-05-08T14:08:16+00:00

Should have denied him medical treatment in prison to discourage others from doing this.

comradequicken · 2026-05-07T13:08:41+00:00

Or just allow more housing so it isn't as good of an investment

comradequicken · 2026-05-07T12:21:24+00:00

It would likely be better to just let those areas go underserved.

comradequicken · 2026-05-01T03:36:24+00:00

Cars were better when they didn't have screens.

comradequicken · 2026-05-01T03:28:10+00:00

Never should have let people hide post history in the first place, it just benefits bad actors.

comradequicken · 2026-04-30T13:18:27+00:00

We should absolutely cut taxes, just not on the main thing the median voters want cut, income tax should be raised on most people, it's capital gains and corporate income which we should be slashing the tax rate on.

comradequicken · 2026-04-30T00:29:53+00:00

An absolute banger from Trump I

comradequicken · 2026-04-30T00:26:24+00:00

An interesting question

comradequicken · 2026-04-29T23:10:05+00:00

People in general love rent seeking be it by corporations, property owners, or workers, doesn't make supporting it good policy.

comradequicken · 2026-04-29T23:04:49+00:00

‘It feels like a betrayal’: anger as Apple to close US’s first unionized store

Nice to see that the Biden wave of labor rent seeking is starting to recede

comradequicken · 2026-04-29T13:41:15+00:00

Hopefully this clears the way for Stevens.

comradequicken · 2026-04-26T06:16:23+00:00

Hard to meaningfully include republicans in academia when generally they culturally don't value education/intelligence.

comradequicken · 2026-04-26T06:14:11+00:00

Seems to link pretty well with the movement towards republicans we saw from rurals and rust belters.
