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 🤷

It's a minority doing it, but they couldn't possibly win an election so they spend billions to grift the lower rungs of society.

Without the griftee's the grifters couldn't do what they do, and that's a wrap of US history 🤷

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 🫤

Without suffering, there is no art.

Hmmm, it's like they're all rich and know that in the end it'll be fine for them under a fascist regime?

I'm not an American, but I have to give the Trump supporters they are right about one thing: the Democrats do not seem interested in fixing their problems. Trump's just honest about it 🤷

It's utterly baffling.

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.

The best wage slaves work 100hr/week without complaint 🤷

Think of it this way: investment bankers work themselves to an early grave while the truly rich lounge in their opulent wealth.

At least average people (at least where I'm from) only suffer 40hr/w of pointless labour, so we still have some free time to enjoy.

But yes, Indian education sounds intense 😵‍💫

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!

Heck yeah!

Charlie Angus for PM!

They're ever so annoying for pointing out the truth.
