Exactly. It’s great that the feds want to fix things… but the Provinces hold most of the levers being directly responsible for letting things devolve so far.

Here in BC Christy Clarke threw gasoline on the fire in 2016’ish and I watched condo prices jump 50% in months. I was lucky to have a condo to sell, but I also couldn’t afford that same condo for the price I sold it. It’s bonkers how much prices have gone up.

The NDP here has done something, if not enough.

In the end it’s a pretty intractable problem. As a country we bet on housing as an investment and now we’re paying the piper so to speak.

Shocking, I know.

It’s actually sad that any women voted for him at all 🤷

Nope, but the capitalist class and their enforcement goons want to paint them that way. Makes it easier to violate their rights.

The story of “How One Province Shot Itself In the Foot”

This! Of course it’s insolvent.

We’re expecting a gov’t service that is in the same category as “maintaining property rights” to opperate as a for profit business? Stupid. If we want a national mail service we need to pay for it.

Might as well ask the military to be self-financing 🙄

🤣😝😹🙄😸🥲

Fuck you dude, you haven’t banned our products from your shelves you threatened to take over our shelves, violently.

The Americans can’t have it both ways, if you’re waging economic war (and that’s what’s currently happening) we’re not playing nice. Stop with the threats to our sovereignty and stop the economic chaos and we can talk about putting away our knives.

If you wanted to talk, you needed to start there. Chaos first, means you’re serious about not talking 🙄

To “lock in the status quo” of not having official party status? Lol, there’s an example of poor goal setting if ever I saw one.

The Coop died. This thing wearing it’s hide is a monstrosity.

I agree, I was just being polite. Harper is the worst.

Carney is a breath of fresh air in Federal politics, didn’t vote for them, but I approve of him as Prime Minister.

Harper made Canada a laughing stock internationally, Trudeau saved our image only to prove too vapid and gain us a rep for big talk and no action.

PP loves to talk about the “lost Liberal decade” but frankly I see 20 wasted under PM’s that were little more than heavily polished caricatures of people; more interested covering up their mistakes than fixing real problems.

Carney seems like a real person, and one with relevant qualifications, who acts like an adult and wants to fix problems.

Or this is an “Obama” moment for Canada, a last impotent chance for change before the flood of misinformation fractures our institutions irrevocably 🤷

In the case of a referendum I’d be far more worried about the well funded right-wing disinformation apparatus that will kick it’s grift into high gear.

Brexit was heavily influenced by the same machinery, except it’s grown more sophisticated since that time.

1% sounds about right given who benefits from the kinds of policies she advicates for 🤷

I’ve heard the PEI separatists are calling for a high speed potato-conveyor tube to transport potatoes for shippment to China.

They’ll call it the Trans Canada Potatube. And it’ll only cost $35 billion and never recoup it’s costs.

What exactly are they worried about letting come into Canada?

This feels very authoritarian, like hunrting randomly through trunks for people trying to escape…

Or there was a criminal afair they were trying to capture 🤷

You in Carleton, saved us from his 🦬💩. Even if it doesn’t last long, I appreciate it greatly.

Yup, the Conservatives love to glorify local representation while being the party of the iron whip; ensuring the local “representation” is basically non-existant.

We need electoral reform, and a neutering of the party system 🫤

I think a sad part of this is due to people wanting that vapid dopamagic response the algorithm provides.

Is it bad for us? Yes.

But addicts are going to addict 🫤

I know lots of people who made a fediverse account easy enough, but just end up back on the algorithm platforms as there’s no effort required for discovery.

Ignorance knows no bounds 🙄

Indeed, add in all the religious meddling in educational curriculum and you’ve got a recipie for an ignorant population.

Indeed, that’s the friggin job!

Whatever any of us feel about Trudeau (Jr) he ran two successful (as in close to full-term) minority parliments by being able to compromise and work with other parties.

Could anyone see PP compromising? Attack dogs don’t have a “cooperate with others” mode.

So let’s hope the children can all now go get along…

and fix some problems!
