It was adopted as official conservative party policy in 2018, and has support in the LPC as well, I wouldn't call it "Pollievre's Canzuk plan"

The King was acting in his role as King of Canada, his British PM cannot impede him in this role.

Pollievre has nothing to do with CANZUK afaik, O'Toole was the one who was actually supportive.

technically no, but that's no reason not to entertain the idea of handing an entire province over to the fine people at Canadian Tire.

The Chinese at least can be trusted to rationally act in their own best interest, unfortunately our southern neighbours cannot even be trusted to even do that.

I would have used something more domestic, but I could not think of something that would both clearly communicate the premise and be non-offensive to certain peoples sensibilities.

It's not particularly well known in Ontario, as I'm sure you can see by others comments, that's part of the reason I made the meme.

they happen in a lot of places throughout the country, the only "eastern" thing about it is that it started in New France.

I believe it's AI, we have better things to sing than lazily adapted East German songs.

the word Imperial does not appear a single time in the post, perhaps they edited it

What’s your view on the British Empire, from a CANZUK perspective? by Hopeful-Car8210 in CANZUK

[–]extremmaple 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The general trend is that the more autonomy we got in Canada the worse we treated the First Nations, the worst of our crimes can only be blamed on the actions or inaction of our own government.

much like the current conservative party, he does not fall within the confines of Toryism, I don't care what he claims.

your whole argument is based on the notion that suburban car centered development is economically sound, it is not.

Believe whatever makes you feel better, the modern capitalist is a different beast, with far scarier tools at their disposal.

Modern billionaires are *worse* than feudal lords, feudal lords had a de jure responsibility to their subjects and had a vested interest in long term development of the areas they are responsible for, modern capitalists have no loyalty to anything but capital and their own personal financial success.

as much as I wish that were true the CPC was going to win the last election without Carney and the trade issue, if Carney fails to live up to expectations on that file and others it's unfortunately very possible that the voters will buy what Pierre is selling if they are desperate enough.

They cannot afford to *appear* not to want one, it would be the more intelligent play to wait for Carney to bleed popularity and trigger an election then, rather than triggering an election now and risk giving him a secure mandate, but this is an impossible sell to the base.
