I really don’t ever want to see the words “Harper” and “seduce” in the same sentence. Unless Harper is lured by Sirens and eaten.
Hello fellow cowboys…
Right?! What kind of editor allowed that.
Carney is carving Canada up and putting it on the menu for the world’s wealthiest fund managers. And he’s asking a hard right Christian Nationalist to help him do it. Anyone defending this is the clown-putting-on-makeup meme personified
Maybe the NDP should have run someone serious in the election.
The left wing can’t complain when they didn’t even show up for the election as a party. Singh’s numbers were abysmal for two past elections. The NDP didn’t have the ball’s to drop him and they still didn’t have any serious candidates in their leadership race.
So until there’s an alternative party that bothers trying, it’s between the new conservatives and the CPC. Sadly, there was only one actual leader in that election.
People could still have voted NDP, but believed Carney’s left leaning speeches and promises during the debates and decided to vote for him instead.
Nothing you have said makes it wrong to criticize the government in power. Part of the problem is that too many folks think that elections are the only points at which the people can exert influence. Do you agree with Carney’s decision to have Harper helping on this, or not?
No, you can criticize them, but there’s a bunch of comments about shame on the people who voted Carney when there was no other option.
On some things I’m happy, on others I’m very angry. I hate Harper, but he’s got influence with uber rich resource extractors.
- you were replying to my comment not those other ones
- yeah that influence with uber rich resource extractors is BAD for Canadians — Carney is selling us out to foreign ownership and weakening our democracy by doing so.

No… what?
the fuck is happening with this casual bigotry on this server
What’s a good name for the liberals now? Conserals? Libsatives?
I think just Conservative works. Maybe Progressive-Conservative (until they start attacking LGBTQ2S+ rights, women’s rights, etc).
He’s just courting anyone with money.
Let’s see if Canada can keep a backbone instead of cave to corporations.
How can we keep a backbone well he wants to sell off our points of entry into Canada. Saying it well be cheaper.
Yuck…
LPC voters should be ashamed of themselves for voting in this ideological sham gov.
Who else was worth voting for? Honest question.
Singh was DOA, he should have been dropped two elections ago, but the NDP is too mired in identity politics and single issue candidates. Pollievre is a the worst human in Canada and the CPC is a cancerous lump. The Greens are a joke, they can’t even pick a leader.
You had that vs a guy who wrote a book on managing the environment (which yeah, he’s not following) and the best financial and professional record of any politician in my life.
At the time, there was no other choice. To this day I know 100% hrs doing better than Singh or Pollievre would be.
Singh is such a disappointment.
which yeah, he’s not following
ok so then Canadians got scammed and should be critiquing this government rather than continually re-litigating an election that happened 18 months ago. Corporations understand that elections are only a small part of how governments are influenced. Time for regular folks to wake up to this fact too.
I’m not saying you can’t criticize this government.
I’m disagreeing with the statement “LPC voters should be ashamed”. That’s a bad take. We should be angry, but I don’t see a world in which I should be ashamed for picking the best option of the few available.
I’ve written my MP with how unhappy I am with the party in specifics, and how much I’ve donated, and that I’m no longer supporting or donating. Until there’s someone I can support, this is the action I can take.
I tried getting involved supporting someone who wanted to run for the NDP, but they got passed over and basically harassed by Avi Lewis jackasses. So I have tried, and I feel like all the parties are kinda hugely shit.
you continue to bring this back to an electoral framing. If you are upset with what the government is doing then say that. The “oh no but who else was there” is the excuse that Carney supporters are soothing themselves with because they don’t want to admit they got hoodwinked. Some of us were calling out Carney’s real goals prior to the election and were shouted down mercilessly by people reacting to Trump
LPC armed a genocide, subsidized ecocide, lied about electoral reform, refused to reign in property barons or grocery oligarchs. They’re also a huge pulsating cancerous lump.
Carney’s dumping money into ai bubbles, offensive submarines, property acquisition corps. Every British person I’ve ever communicated with about him says he is a nightmare.
the folks downvoting you are cowards
Its what I’ve come to expect from centrists.
The British don’t like him because he said brexit was a mistake and they don’t want their central bank making political statements, despite its objectivity
He assisted the Brexit gov.
He advised not to do Brexit, and then had to deal with mitigating the consequences after they did it anyway.
No, he told them it was a stupid idea and he got roasted by the government for being “political”.
I love how brits blame government now when it was a fucking REFERENDUMB.
They didn’t lie about electoral reform, nobody agreed and every party wanted the system that favoured them the most. Every party played politics on that instead of asking what’s best for Canada.
Imagine they change it and the second the CPC get power they change it to what they want? They’d never shut up about it either, it would have been a disaster. Imagine Alberta separatism with that feather in their hat.
Not true. The nationwide public consultations and the committee all came to the conclusion that Proportional Representation was the way to go, and recommended a mixed-member proportional system. The Liberals pulled the rug out because it wasn’t their preferred outcome.
