At press time, Carney was fully convinced that this was going to be the time that a US attack on a Middle Eastern country was finally going to lead to peace and security for its people.

    The punch line at Davos was "time for the shopkeepers need to stop posting signs supporting systemic lies". No US empire lie has yet to be unsupported.

    Carney gave a great speech at Davos but it was all talk. He is 100% with continually sharing more and more information on Canadians to violate their privacy rights and comply with US corporate demands. I know Canadian courts have been consistent in striking down facial recognition AI tech in Canada, but what's there to say that the companies aren't just doing that anyway? Without real tangible penalties and actual enforcement they can do as they please.

    His famous "speech" was blatantly imperialist itself if you actually listened or read more than a soundbite.

    This kind of binary "the moment you do something even slightly against my views you're a totally evil villain" thinking is what leads to the sort of ultra-partisan mess that the US has fallen into.

    I don't like Carney's position on this matter. That doesn't mean he's instantly a US toady.

    Biden was clearly how Trump won, the debate was brutal. I still watch highlights now and again to see the Weekend at Bernie's fiasco the dems tried to push as normal.

    Sure but good luck recovering from that. That's my belief anyways, its rather hard to say definitively.

    I also don't think Kamala was ever that popular either and wouldn't have been run if she wasn't VP, she was likely chosen for her skin color above her altruism or intelligence.

    This reply is utter nonsense. Where the fuck is the binary?

    What exactly makes you think this is the only time he has sold out Canada to the US?

    When the fuck did his campaigning on ‘elbows-up’ turn into support in illegal military action in Gaza, Latin America, and Iran. Pull your head out of Carley’s arse long enough to view reality for a few minutes, and maybe you’ll see this isn’t a one-time issue with Carey’s ethics.

    im so sick of idiots complaining about stuff politician can and cant do. wtf do you want from him, why the fuck would we stick our necks out for these people in a real practical sense?

    Cant do anything about gaza cuz its a religious fight and frankly fuck dealing with that. Nothing about Maduro cuz frankly why would we help that POS and same scenario with Iran, why would we help these cretins that rule. 'because they're 'middle powers'' no the fuck they aren't, they've been turned into backwater dictatorships being ruled by cruel people. we are not the world's police officer.

    Pull your head out of your ass and you might find out what actually stinks.
