Uhhhhhhh Meloni is also a medium-far right semi-crazy. She's not sig heiling but she's in the same league as AfD.

You are 1000% correct, half the continent lives in an entirely different reality. That's why very visibly and loudly protesting and demonstrating at key. It FORCES the dissent into public view where it would otherwise be hidden.

Anything we can do to fight with their control of the narrative is deeply important.

I have no stance on the above article but this is a friendly reminder that the Ottawa Citizen is American billionaire owned, not Canadian! Double check anything they say 😀

You have the empathy of a snail.

"Your country is so small and weak you might as well have a mayor instead of a real government. We should and will annex you because we can"

"Why are you offended, that seems weird"

There's also the fact that that money isn't strictly money "wasted" - you can effectively double dip by using the funds to buy domestic or allied materials, essentially just circulating the money around your economy and creating defense-related jobs. Not that you wanna go full MIC but it's not like Europe is gonna be flushing 800B down the drain.

He's too early - we aren't due for FDR until after the tariffs and mass deregulation cause the Great Depression after the collapse of the Gilded Age. We gotta defeat the American Nazi Party and eugenicists and THEN we get FDR, and then we need to make it through our isolationist period before the imperialist power across the Pacific wakes America once more.

Oh sorry 2020s not 1920s?

Thanks to the Liberal/NDP coalition government for improving some Canadians' access to dental care!

But did he tho?

Sure, but it was still part of "what he did" with a coalition government. Rare Jagmeet W I'll give you that.

$10 a day child care was pretty good. I'm a fan of the dental coverage too. The carbon tax actually reduced our emissions for the first time and was overall a net financial benefit for most Canadians.

He wasn't amazing but he was not nearly the washout people act like he is.

Keep in mind he's also making sure to publicly put the ball in Trump's court regarding maintaining the relationship - especially obvious with his remark about "well of course they wouldn't want to side with Russia". Expressing optimism and openness publicly while maybe have reservations privately strikes me as a shrewd political stance.

Oh we're pretty united. When some dipshit from North Dakota says he can't wait to show us why they have the 2nd amendment and "clear out the liberal wackos" at a professional engineering conference, it really ties the population together.

Thanks Obama (and Merkel)

If only there was a punishment for Crimea...

Isolated economies perform worse in the long run, usually by a lot. Fair and open trade is almost always a net benefit for both parties. What Canada needs is a diverse portfolio of trading partners, not 70% of our exports going to the US.

The Liberal party's funding of Export Development Canada is an important cornerstone of this that we should not forget come election season.

Costco has a great Colombian whole bean that they sail from Colombia to Quebec where it's roasted and packaged. Cafe William's Sailboat coffee. We love it. We'll be buying it exclusively now!

Right? But no Jagmeet's gonna do the Conservative team up no one asked for and vote no confidence! PP's ideas are just dumb and the Liberals seem hell bent on ignoring the monopolistic cancer that's finally metastasized over the past 5 years after lurking for the past 30.

I'd vote for anyone that said they'd force a breakup of Loblaws, Safeway and others.

Unfortunately a 100% accurate reflection of Canadian politics. So dumb that basically everyone other than Alberta agrees that Trudeau did some good stuff that didn't get advertised, some dumb fuck political games that did nothing of value but also no damage, and our complete monopoly of basically every industry is cucking micro and macro economic growth and yet we're here blaming Trudeau and not fronting any anti-monopolist parties.

PP will win and Jagmeet will continue to fail to capitalize on the popular anti corporate sentiments while the Liberals will ban the guns they just unbanned in the meantime.

100% true, and the fact that Shaw just got rolled into Rogers in the middle of anti-monopolist popular fervor is pretty depressing. The grocery industry is absolutely vile. Trudeau was acceptable and mostly made reasonable choices but my God I'd vote for anyone who forwarded stronger antitrust legislation and rulings.

Fucking Pierre ain't gonna do it, the Cons always end up pushing legislation to get cushy megacorp board positions after their terms are up. Jagmeet seems more interested in fucking around than doing anything, and Trudeau was palatable but failed to tackle the monopolists at all.

Insanity to me how much the corpos own our country and how none of the parties seem to care.

Yeeep. My boss was an engineering exec at Twitter for 8 years, he quit when Musky was an asshole to him in a meeting. Pretty unreal some of the stories he had.

Go make yourselves sad.
