Try finding a Canadian retail chain. Yes, there are a few. A few. Most, by far, are American. Over the last century, Canada has sold its soul to America. Successive Liberal and conservative governments did this. Especially Harper conservatives. It's time for a real Canadian government. NDP.

Actually, Donald Trump is a convicted criminal who should have been stopped in his tracks and thrown in jail by Joe Biden. Trump is widely known to have been an active pedophile years ago. If I were dictator, Trump's crime wave of terror would end immediately, and he would pay billions in fines.

Microsoft thinks that America owns Canada already so they want to take whatever they want. Over the last century Canada has been hard to find because America is everywhere. Corporate Cons & Libs have given Canada to America since forever. If ever there was a time for a paradigm shift it is now.

Carney is incrementally paying the American fascist mafia gangster bribes as his cowering conservative business clients demand. I shudder to imagine what the end game will be. What else will Carney concede to our worst enemy?
Allan Barry (@man-o-man.bsky.social) reply parent
If you mean conceding to fascist mafia gangsterism, then you’re right.
Allan Barry (@man-o-man.bsky.social) reply parent
Unfortunately Carney is a conservative. There is little evidence that he is a liberal but even if he was, liberals sway whatever way the political wind blows. There are gale storm American mafia gangster winds blowing strong in Canada and Liberals have conceded to the shakedown. Weakness.

All the more reason to boycott everything American. After a century of successive Lib and Con govt’s allowing American companies to take over Canada, America now figures it owns us. It’s hard to find a retail chain in Canada that isn’t American. Over the last century Canada gets an F in sovereignty.

Conservative govt’s want things like this to happen so they can point to it and say that the public healthcare system is a failure, and if it was all for profit healthcare it would never happen. In other words profits matter more than people. That is conservatism.

Anyone who thinks America is still a democracy is completely delusional. America is a fascist country. Right now. Not leaning towards authoritarianism, it is clearly purely authoritarian fascism right now. Fair elections are finished. We keep watching democracy erode before our eyes.

The NDP is really the only responsible political option in Canada now since the liberals have become conservative lite under Carney.

I suspect you’re right. Democrats are really having trouble finding a coherent voice. But the media is a huge part of the problem. Perhaps democrats aren’t that silent. Perhaps the billionaire controlled media just won’t report their words or actions.

I’m ashamed of Canada for having so many conservative provincial governments, including a couple of fascist wannabes. And now we have a conservative prime minister. People must really hate themselves as much as they hate all the other people they hate.

We dodged a bullet by blocking MAGA Poilievre but we still elected a conservative prime minister. I expect exactly zero progressive legislation from the banker.

Carney is almost as conservative as Poilievre. But I doubt Poilievre would forge whole new trading relationships with other democracies. Only rightwing or fascist countries. Liberals are conservative lite now. Only the NDP can save Canada.

Even if he wins the leadership battle he will lose to the incumbent Carney in the next election. Carney’s track record to date is also very conservative. Many conservatives love him. As such he will never get my vote again. My apologies to the NDP.

Corporations are, of course, essential. But paying their employees properly and treating them with respect and valuing their contributions to corporate goals is also essential. NDP govt’s may engage with bad employers sometimes just like L’s & C’s but doesn’t mean they write anti-worker labour laws.

if he survives the January leadership review, which I suspect he will, Poilievre will surely not be able to overcome Carney in an election now that Carney has a track record and incumbency. What’s more, that track record reads like a conservative shopping list. Poilievre is out next election.
Allan Barry (@man-o-man.bsky.social) reply parent
We already have a conservative prime minister anyway. Who needs Poilievre when you have Carney?

Liberals and Conservatives are corporate parties. There is only one party in Canada that understands the working and middle class struggles that plague a seriously broken capitalist system, the NDP. Corporations are well taken care of by Libs & Cons. For the NDP, people matter more.

By the late 70’s, I could see that if you scratch the surface of a conservative, you find a fascist.

The Jobs Minister was quick to use back to work legislation (12 hr’s). As Jobs minister you would think that she’d be aware of the issues the people with the “jobs” had with mgm’t who created the issues. She now seems amazed that employees were forced to work without pay. She should have known that.
Allan Barry (@man-o-man.bsky.social) reply parent
Canada can, and just did, elect a minority govt with a 3rd or 4th party holding the balance of power to force concessions. The NDP used that well last session as did the CCF before them. Without proportional representation minority govt’s with the NDP holding balance of power is the next best thing.

Simple answer is NO. Cons and Libs are in the same bed since Carney’s true colours have been exposed. Carney is just more palatable than Poilievre because he doesn’t talk in slogans. Conservatives love Carney. Fraser institute loves Carney. Liberals aren’t liberals anymore.

Public health care in Canada should never be left up to conservatives. They are ideologically opposed to public healthcare and work relentlessly to convert it to private profit motivated healthcare. It’s all about making profits, not about serving and healing sick people at all income levels.

Mark Carney is a conservative. That is obvious. The Fraser Institute praises him. Doug Ford loves him. Anti-worker, repressive legislation is already his legacy.
