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.

    Wow. Who knew that allowing wealthy individuals to purchase the means of disseminating information would result in that information favouring the views of that wealthy owner. I'm sure unlimited political donations doesn't result in anything similar, either.

    we’re not in a left/right struggle as much as we’re in a class struggle against the billionaires.

    This is just a reframing of the left/right struggle, though. The right has always been about maintaining the privileges of the ruling class since the terms were set when the Monarchists sat on the right side of the National Assembly.

    He was thinking his opponents were in disarray. What he should have been doing, though, is remembering how quickly the right came together before the last election. They can unify pretty quickly, if temporarily, when it means these grifters will get a chance to rob the public coffers.

    And thanks to the international right wing media ecosystem that has been built up over the last couple of decades whatever party emerges from that process can count on a significant amount of support no matter how obviously incompetent they have shown themselves to be very recently.
