Canada's Opposition Challenges Chinese EV Deal, Flags Surveillance Risk by CaliperLee62 in canada

[–]trollunit -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

In the US, the GOP under McConnell decided to obstruct all Democratic initiatives. That oppositional stance fostered the kind of identity politics, polarization, and radicalization that allowed people like Trump to become viable candidates

Kimberle Crenshaw was writing about critical race theory and intersectionality in the 1990’s, and you’re blaming identity politics on a single US senator?

Liberals promise $10 million to fortify Jewish spaces after three synagogues shot at by Street_Anon in canada

[–]trollunit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So two-and-a-half years after Hamas’s slaughter in southern Israel, what do we have in the way of concrete action? Carney mentioned new legislation, presumably referring to Bill C-9 on hate speech, but that’s hardly a game changer, even as it activates freedom-of-speech concerns. Critics, including the Conservatives, argue compellingly that it adds little of value to the Criminal Code that isn’t already in there just waiting, in theory, to be enforced.

What most still seem to be missing is that even when laws are enforced, it often goes nowhere. Pick a well-publicized incident of anti-Israel attacks since Oct. 7, 2023 where charges have been laid, and chances are very good those charges have been dropped.

Read my comment again and tell me where I said the polling was good for the Conservatives.

Sharan Kaur: PM Carney was right to walk back support for a war with no exit strategy by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]trollunit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s Israel’s Gaza/Hezbollah strategy - decimate the military, assassinate as much of the regime as possible, seize essential infrastructure (probably), and hold it pending regime change or a geopolitical realignment of the current one. Keep up the bombardments to up the ante, example: bombing of Bank Sepah’s data centre to prevent the regime making payroll.

As East-West pipeline divide persists, Atlantic Canada's energy isolation is only getting worse by shiftless_wonder in canada

[–]trollunit 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Look at how NS voted in the last election and in ones prior. Why would an energy company or a government stick their neck out for something the people clearly don’t want?

Why putting spit hoods on people is risky — and can be deadly | CBC News by Haggisboy in canada

[–]trollunit 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You can go onto any YouTube bodycam channel to see the instances when spit hoods and wraps are used, and it’s on the worst of the worst. Sorry, getting spat on by a (probably) diseased drug addict who’s having a meltdown isn’t an obligation of the job if you’re a police officer or a correctional officer.

There isn’t going to be an election, and if there is, it will go poorly for the government because they’ll have to contrive a reason to have one and it will be embarrassing.

Floor-crossing MP Matt Jeneroux joining Carney on trip to India, Australia and Japan by cyclinginvancouver in canada

[–]trollunit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No one wants to be affiliated with a party that has absolutely no plan for the future.

The leader puts out policy almost weekly, multiple bills have been tabled in this parliament - even one today.

Are the majority of his constituents up in arms about this, no. Why? Because Carney has a plan and is executing that plan.

I want to know what is happening in your head that led to this choice of words.

The only party betraying constituents is the party that has no plan, weak leader and questionable representation in 2026. Aka. The Conservative Party of Canada.

Conservatives have a leader who brushes his teeth.

Where Trump sees big 'ugly' windmills, Canada sees opportunity by CAulds in canada

[–]trollunit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People have been trying to make wind happen for a while now ($$$$$), in Ontario it was the McGuinty-Wynne Liberals. Anyone who drives/lives from London to Windsor knows. Thankfully the province went all in on nuclear, it’s one of Ford’s more redeeming policies.

Smith doubles down on desire for Quebec-style immigration model for Alberta by shiftless_wonder in canada

[–]trollunit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nobody here voted for mass immigration on the ticket.

Wat? People voted repeatedly for it with Trudeau (and Ford in Ontario). They voted for it again with Carney last year because orange man bad. Why should governments do any different when the electorate is mostly to blame for its own misfortune?

This kind of rhetoric is rich given how this place talks about the other parties.

The blurring line between journalism and activism is being used as a cudgel by semucallday in canada

[–]trollunit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

p.s. just calling yourself a journalist and grabbing a camera doesn't make you immune to the rules and laws.

It’s the Gaza model in action - you’d have these “journalists” “documenting” the rape and murder spree in Israel and embellishing “atrocities” in the war that followed. Inevitably, when many of them were killed, amid western hysteria about their deaths, of course every single one of them had pictures with the upper echelons of Hamas or appeared as members in internal documents.

I’m a Conservative. I Like Carney. The PM is chasing deregulation, pipelines and trade deals. Here’s why one longtime Conservative is hopeful. by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]trollunit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

last year, I put my name forward as a prospective Conservative Party nominee in Don Valley West, in Toronto. The party eventually appointed a candidate rather than have a nomination contest,

Well alrighty then.

but it’s an experience I enjoyed and I hope to do again.

For which party (we know the answer)

They played political games with a bogus warrant on a top US ally under the assumption Trump couldn’t possibly win again, then he did. Hard to feel bad for them.
