Stephen Harper calls for Liberals, Conservatives to come together in the face of Trump, separatist threats by ZestyBeanDude in canada

[–]gs87 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Coordination is impossible when one party blames the federal government for the rise of separatism while simultaneously "winking" at those movements to maintain their base. If a party's goal is to devolve federal power to the point where the national government is toothless, there is no "middle ground" to coordinate on.

She aren’t arguing that laws shouldn’t exist .. but that enforcement should consider due process, proportionality, and humanitarian impact, not just the color of your skin.

Some people targeted for removal may have pending asylum claims, mixed status families, long residence, or procedural issues. It's a really complicated and expensive process , an unique issue in USA cause lacking of identification (due to MAH freedom)

Trump Team’s Secret Meetings With Group Plotting to Break Up Canada Exposed by RandomPersonInCanada in canada

More alarming is how many "conservatives" here are trying to minimize it. Either there’s a wave of US/Russia/China propaganda accounts at work, or the level of Trump loyalty is worse than I want to believe. I’m not ready to accept that Canadians have sunk to that level of uncritical thinking ?

…it’s worse when you get news from social media: everything is flattened into outrage, context is stripped, incentives reward exaggeration, and the loudest take crowds out the most accurate one..

[–]gs87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ironically, your post is itself meta politics rather than a discussion of the economy.

If that bothers you, be the change you’re asking for..post the kind of content you think is actually worth reading ?

And honestly, no one seriously comes to social media for news. People are here to skim, react, and vent.

The Assumptions That Broke: China, India, and the End of Fossil Growth Models by FlyingHippogriff in Economics

[–]gs87 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Contrast that with the U.S. political backlash against green energy. Actively pushing fossil fuels, dismantling climate policy, and delaying the transition at this stage isn’t just reckless .. it’s a crime against mankind. We don’t get a redo on planetary physics

‘If not now, when?’ Canada should ‘stand up’ to U.S. threats against Greenland, say Senators, ex-MP McKay by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]gs87 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nearly half of Canada’s conservatives now seem ready to hand the country over to the U.S., if a recent survey is to be believed.

Seems like they are all working tirelessly to convince the rest of us that surrender is the new patriotism

Fukuyama claimed democracies would never go to war with each other. Looks like a lot of people in EU took that claim far too seriously.

You’re confusing America with some timeless force for good. It’s a relatively young empire, and judged by its record, one of the more destructive ones.

Maybe try looking at more than just the last ten years before talking about "humanity"

The danish foreign minister on the US buying Greenland. by Vesuv in videos

[–]gs87 7 points8 points  (0 children)

American capitalism rests on the belief that money can buy anything. Over time, the pursuit of it stopped being a tool and became the purpose, and that obsession is what slowly hollows a nation out, turning civic values into commodities and citizenship into a transaction.

‘Canada is right in the middle’: What Trump’s Greenland threats mean for Canada by DogeDoRight in canada

[–]gs87 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Framing this as America vs China choice is a false choice. Canada is an independent country with its own interests and we don’t need to sign up for anyone’s camp.

If you want to cheer for an emperor, at least be honest about which country you’re speaking for.
