I'm saying it's unproductive just like most complaining and protest. If you want to make lasting change you first need to fundamentally change how you live your life.

MPs and all politicians should be paid the mean income of the people they represent. That way if they want a pay raise they actually have to work to increase the quality of life for the people who they represent.

The Media is trying to fear monger and like always people are buying it and pretending like they actually know what's going on.

As of the time of this post our dollar is 0.70 USD. Add 25% to that. .70x.25=17.5 So our dollar with the tariff is still only costing us companies $0.88 on their dollar. Our dollar used to be more than that in the mid 2000's. They bought from us then and they will continue to buy from us now.

The problem is our own government using counter tariffs. That's going to increase your cost of living all because orange man bad.

It's funny how everyone here thinks I support the Conservatives because I understand practicalities and different viewpoints.Even though I've never voted conservative in my life. I've voted in the last 6 federal elections two of which were for the NDP. This is exactly why people consider the left radical. No room for rational practicality, just dogmatic adherence to a narrative.

Get with the programme. People aren't buying it anymore. It's almost like you want leftist ideology to flounder. It's unfortunate that good leftist policies are going to be thrown out with the radical ones but hey, at least you'll have a villain to fight and add some faux meaning to your lives.

No, the government is the party that governs. The party enacting policy through their ministers. Voting on propositions isn't government it's representation. It's how a constitutional monarchy functions with a parliamentary system. It's pretty fundamental.

As an MP He's a representative not a member of the federal government. Security clearances are meant to protect federal government information. The federal government is the ruling party, which is the Liberal party.

The Liberal party isn't going to start giving him access to privileged information as soon as he gets a security clearance. That's not how it works. The practical application of requesting his security clearance would legally prevent him from sharing privileged information If he became privy to it. It's not a good tactic of opposition to be silenced by the people you're opposing.

As someone who's worked for the Federal government and had a level 3 security clearance which has since expired, l'll tell you it makes sense why he's not getting it if you think about it for more than a minute.

Security clearances are meant to protect Federal government information. He is literally the opposition to the Federal government in representation of the people who elected him.

To put it in a left perspective as popular on Lemmy... It would be like if you were at a pro Palestinian protest and were asked to sign a document saying you're free to protest but only if you remain quiet about certain things the isralie government is doing or you'll be arrested. If you refuse to sign, a crowd of people all start shouting that you're a Nazi not because of anything you did but because you refused to sign the document.

Let the opposition be the opposition.

Roshi?

Thanks. What's so bad about 4? Everyone talks bad about it.

Don't go with fdroid. Go with Obtainium. You can download apps directly from Github and it updates automatically. Smaller attack surface and it's one less hoop to jump through.
