Oh, after this guy stuck his fingers in Alberta separatism, I'm loving the idea of him living in fear. May he live the rest of his (very few if Iran has its way) days that way.

    I think the point is the Democratic party should not take their recent victory and go back to Obama era Democratic politics. They have the opportunity be be better than the party in the meme and they ought to take it.

    Well, we'd better expedite privatizing vital infrastructure so we can open ourselves up to new and interesting ways to be betrayed.

    but the federal government is not enforcing the Canada Health Act

    Pretty big hint, right there.

    Here's the thing. Carney fundamentally believes that private industry does it better. That's why he's looking to privatize airports. He doesn't view healthcare any differently, he's just not dumb enough to think that people won't resist that a lot more strongly than a few airports. But he absolutely believes in privatizing healthcare, and he's not gonna get in the way of any province that wants to move in that direction. So I hope you are all ready to fight to defend it, because we will not be getting any support from this federal government.

    Sure. I was planning on voting NDP in the next election same as I did the last. Honestly, around these parts criticism of Carney and the Liberals is infinitely more likely to be coming from the left so I don't know why you would assume otherwise.

    I'll also note that Carney is hardly allergic to O&G investment. Another part of the AI for All strategy is that it creates a market for natural gas.

    Carney thinks he's the smartest guy in every room and he is a full on AI evangelical. As long as he is PM with a majority, we will be going all in on this stuff. And according to his AI for All strategy, the goal is to make you use it.

    This is private equity, this is what it does.

    Buy up businesses, run them into the ground, and rip them apart for short-term profit.

    The developers at BioWare know how to run the studio. They know how to make the games we all love. They should be given the first opportunity - and the federal support - to buy it and run it themselves.

    And if we want to avoid the Mass Effect effect in Canada, we should be keeping private equity out, not welcoming it in.
