Carney didn't deal with unions, Liberals did. I don't think there's a single instance on memory where they did not man-handle unions.

Carney did claim recently $28B cuts will be comming. Liberal heavy handed behaviour towards unions smells of authoritarianism... so yeah freedom curbing is coming, we're just not sure on packaging and potency

wait until after election. Something tells me that two main contenders are eyeing to curb some freedoms to various degrees. Arguably Conservatives being on a more authoritarian track with Liberals tracking not too far behind

Freedom is not well-being. We're free to express frustrations, demands and desires, however government doesn't feel obligated to act on it... So scores are probably right (for the moment) but it does not translates to human rights charter being fully implemented/supported by government.

from recent reports there's a bunch of Canadian billionaires backing the effort, hoping for DOGE style purge of governmenr

what about denier-in-chief? Could someone use this ruling as a precedent to launch a lawsuit against him?

they don't have to be parasites. They do have a role but they are out of control. Government regulation should keep greed in check, and yes, it's not up to real estate businesses to decide that foreign investors can screw up locals.

this country barely survived that guy before, I don't think we can survive more of his policy ideas ...

Page? I've had a feeling he was steeling by chapter...

ridiculing should have no place in public discourse, period. ever. Constructive dismissal however is a legit way to deal with populism and idiocracy

very typical con move: invent an enemy, make threat imminent, crank up insanity, bust controls, drop reporting, claim victory.

he's like those "zero fat" snacks full of sugar and unpronounceable crap...

yes. In all fairness we're to elect the worst of two evils thanks to FPP election system. Any other party (NDP included) is not entering the picture because Politics became team sports supercharged with FPP. Despite my full dislike of Libs I will likely pinch my nose and vote for them, just because in my riding there's no chance is freezing hell NDPs or anyone else can take a seat from Cons...

yes, but this time it will be properly dismissed as "fake news"

YES. Next question.

lets elect Conservatives... that'll put a stop to those exports! right?

I have experience participating in local chapter for a party, but when you get some ideas pushed to a party congress and get it squashed because it's being controlled by the people opposing the change it kind of turns you off.

lets hope it "sticks". Any class in economics say "diversify your portfolio", Canada needs just that. 10% hit is less than 90% hit if you're dealing with multiple partners.

Taking over Dems is next to impossible for progressives as entrenched elite is backed by "big money" and is effective at torpedoing progressives every time. Take big money out of politics and you may have a chance at overtaking party, otherwise - screwed

those are words of a politician. This is what "sells" today. We'll need to see very specific actions to back it up. Thus far most politicians shown lack of spine and would turn on a dime at first opportunity. Canada could've been "divorced" from US for over a decade now when Cretien hinted at desire to move in that direction... but nope, here we are overdependant on US and thumping our chests "never again".
