Voting reform and people actually picking better candidates instead of trying to kick out whatever incumbent party out would go a long way for people actually worth their pay as well.

Letting mediocre politicians linger around the system to long is how we got Pierre.

People always defend MP salaries saying we need it to get a certain level of competence, but purely overpaying doesn't guarantee much.

However time and time again these people do things that wouldnt fly for someone nmaking minimum wage.

Despite how the article is portrayed(91% on the meta polls) all this guy needs to do is stfu and collect 800k.

Conservatives might have some success convincing people they're aren't MAGA.

But I doubt they'll be able to convince people MAGA isn't for Conservatives.

I think looking at a chart 5 years from now people will see a near unnoticeable blip in the gas and food prices aside whatever trade war stuff. If people paid those prices yesterday they'll be willing to pay it tomorrow and corporations has been very successful at the deregulation thing.

Btw. Owned by G&M which in turn is owned by the richest person in Canada. Top 25 in the world.

We are no longer a co-operative, converting in 2010 to a private company owned by Torstar , The Globe and Mail and La Presse . We remain editorially independent and operate newsrooms in every part of Canada.

Last year there was an Opinion article in the Globe and Mail titled:

Yet another summer of strikes? All political parties are now backing unions

Then a few weeks later:

WestJet strike averted after federal labour minister imposes binding arbitration

The common conservative mantra in Canada to this day is that there's nothing wrong with Trump besides baring his fangs at us.

It's along the lines of racism is okay until it's against you type of logic. So it is to say that Conservatives like to play the victim but rarely prepare to be the actual victims.

This was one of the things I really had a issue with on Reddit. People's shitty comments would be removed constantly but the users were usually just warned or only given short bans.

The whole thing just made all the subs seems desperate for any type of engagement and the mods would continuosly complain about how much work it is but they created a system where they have to babysit a large portion of the user base.

Lemmy should show all the communities an account is banned on in the user pages.

As someone who's probably going to vote NDP.

• Both taxes Carney said he'd axe while good in theory was handled poorly by the Liberals
• Axing these seems like it will win him more seats.

Media as a whole has incredibility large biases to the right. Almost every Social media platform is okay with people making things up but a person that tags and calls them out on it is considered the "harrasser".

I wonder if it will "break" outside of the outrage in places like this because that thing is for more than 2 weeks ago and was entirely public. I can understand why I wouldn't listen to that crap but you'd think a number of people in the news world saw it and just went meh.

Pierre puts Pierre over anything else.

Completely insane and as usual what Conservatives have to say about Conservatives is more damning than anything.

The limits of U.S. President Donald Trump's brand of extremely personalized, belligerent diplomacy have never been more apparent than with the negligible outcomes this week involving two of the world's deadliest ongoing conflicts.

In Gaza, Israel's military shattered the tenuous ceasefire on Tuesday by inflicting the largest number of deaths in a single day on Palestinians since the war started in October 2023.

Ah actions so negligible that people a being killed in record numbers.

CBC almost called Trump a bad guy but contorted themselves into saying he just erratic and bad at diplomacy.

I really wonder the reason why Conservatives are reported to such a different standard than anyone else.

The thing is as Carney brought up with Pierre's security clearance CBC has pretty much just reported it in passing like he doesn't have it, he doesn't want it and that means he can't access certain information, that's that.

They've never gotten into this back and forth of what's Pierre must be hiding. Like who in the major networks is grinding a axe with any of the Conservatives.

he would harmonize regulations across Canada

Extremely unlikable dude that's has shown almost no ability to draft a bill in 2 decades will get a bunch of people who've never shown that much interest in working together to create a complex frame work of regulations.

On many other parts of the internet you'll see a lot of people saying Carney copied Pierre's policy.

1. As shown below Carney's exemption is specific to first time home buyers where Pierre's is not. Also doesn't have whatever that rental thing is supposed to be.
2. Liberals most tangible housing policies in the past 9 years has been providing more purchasing power to "first time home buyers". I think this would be there 4-5th thing to do so, in which case not exactly a significant departure what they've done in this area.

Sept 2023

https://www.conservative.ca/building-homes-not-bureaucracy/

Remove GST on the building of any new homes with rental prices below market value. This will be funded using dollars from the failed Liberal Housing Accelerator fund. Within a year and a half of this law passing, list 15 percent of the federal government’s 37,000 buildings and all appropriate federal land to be turned into homes people can afford.

Oct 2024

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/poilievre-gst-new-homes-cut-1.7365339

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is pledging to eliminate the GST on new homes sold for under $1 million if his party wins the next federal election.

I'm kinda having a hard time figuring out what the play is.

If you're Maga your king just told you Pierre is a idiot and to vote for Carney.

If you're not Maga you see Trump saying something stupid(i.e. anytime he opens his mouth) you just turn off the video.

Not quite about just project 2025 but Nate Silver from what used to be 538 has Trump aggregated disapproval rating at 49.8% as of 03/20/25. That up from 40% in 2 months.

Smith repeated a number of policies she wants changed, including unfettered cross-boundary access to build pipeline

She's asking for something that not only supersedes Federal and Provincial powers but also Judicial process. This is Trump declaring himself king of America level crap.

Alberta NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi said Smith's threat of a national unity crisis is "childish" and "juvenile" and will fail to get any concessions from the federal government.

I don't know why people keep trying underplay stuff like this from people Smith, Pierre and Trump. Smith is trying to threaten the sovereignty of our nation in times of crisis, there nothing "childish" and "juvenile" about it.

This conversation already came up during the pandemic. It's super clear why countries should have some level of ability to produce essentials for its people.

It was also the time when conservatives started to doubled down on pretending to be libertarians and told their supporters the mega corps will take care of everything as long as we give them enough power.
