Bill C-5, Indigenous resistance, and the authoritarian turn at the heart of the settler state
Still better than PP.
While I agree, that’s an embarrassingly low bar to pass:
Not a fan so far, but didn’t vote red. Economist suit acts like an economist suit.
Also not a fan so far. Feels like a wolf in sheeps clothing
Rooted in Enlightenment-era thinking, liberalism positions individual political rights and equality as the foundation of a free and just society.
I think we’ve seen enough of liberalism to know this is just marketing slop. Liberalism is the belief that profit-maximizing capitalism is compatible with democracy.
Marketing slop from who? There is no Liberalism authority.
Those are literally just the foundational ideas it’s had since Voltaire or therabouts. Before anyone had thought of capitalism or whatever it’s opposite might be.
honestly i don’t like carney, he just seems like a harper conservative to me, but the overton window shifted so much he’s head of the liberals now
I voted for him and I’m ok with him. Economically, if trump is going to threaten us then we need to act differently than we have in the past. We do need nation building projects that help us break our reliance on the US. We also need to reduce immigration because of the continued housing shortage. So with reduced immigration and reduced sales to the US and increased spending austerity is then needed. The era of spend spend spend is over.
Or we could tax the corporations and the wealthy properly.
The wealthy, yeah I agree but the corporations, it’s a bit tricky right now as we don’t want them to all go to the us either. That’s exactly what Trump wants. I don’t have a solution but it can’t be as simple as taxing more.
We’re in a much more complicated situation.
Tired of hearing the excuse that taxing corporations will make them leave.
I’m tired of saying it. I’m also not saying they should not pay taxes, it’s just that the solution is not that simple.
Yes. Carney and future governments will be able to bypass environmental law and try to bypass Indigenous treaty rights (lawsuits will determine if they can if they try).
However, I do think that we the people still have the opportunity to knock some sense into this government to actually espouse the ‘values’ Carney campaigned on, without needing to lean on C-5 too much. Call and write your MP.
The fact we can do something about it doesn’t mean the feds actions amount to a matter of personal responsibility on us failing to stop it. It means not giving up, and standing up to make sure the Indigenous populations get their fair share for using their land, and benefit just as much as every Canadian from these projects.
Call and write your MP
Right, because this has always worked so well.
