  • You act like this is a dialogue, like the tRump republicans are there, in good faith, listening. Catch up, there can be no compromise cause they’re not looking for it, all the Dems can do is obstruct by any means possible, even if they have to get creative, because any other action will simply be capitulation to the demands of the administration. That is if they’re actually committed to democracy and the welfare of the American public, and not their donors’ outcomes. Which I personally think you have to be deluded to think, at least in regard to the party leadership, who consistently makes the exact wrong move every time (for Americans, that is).









  • There is value in standing on principal though, even if the outcome doesn’t end in getting compensation, if tRump wants to us extortionate tactics and enable bad corporate actors to do the same he’ll have to do it in the open. These companies are hoping to violate contract law, and the WSJ is happy to use neutral, or even favourable rhetoric to run cover. So while I sympathize with feeling exhausted or futility, I applaud the Canadian government for not just quietly accepting this sort of behaviour. This might be a good optics opportunity to point out exactly who is the actual threat to job creation here, too. These companies aren’t making a good case for what Canada could expect to look forward to if they capitulate to annexation rhetoric, especially with how vindictive the current US regime has proven itself to be time and time again.


  • I would really prefer if they just used his frequent and flagrant violation of the law, and those of the institutions he has infiltrated with corrupt lackeys, to arrest and try him as an American citizen, even if such an act would break precedent and convention. I see no such regard for legal or cultural tradition from the administration, and am tired of hearing people say “oh but we can’t change anything to defend ourselves no matter how much they change to attack us…”.






  • When the fuck did the NDP have a federal mandate? Nevermind that, let’s get to the real point here: Your partisan brainrot only enables the very same special interest lobbies who pushed the Liberal government to wrongly implement programs to provide them with cheap labour at your and my expense. The super rich like the Westons do not want to pay Canadians what they’re owed to get access to their record profits they love to brag about immediately after telling us there’s just nothing they can do about prices. You’ll get no argument for the existence of the TFW program from me here, but you’re absolutely restarted if you think your ‘child arsonist’ or whatever fucked up metephor you wanna use actually justifies supporting a party that promises to lean EVEN HARDER into the lobbies and suck even more billionaire dick. If that’s what you want, I can’t pretend to understand your politics, it sure seems like you’re against your own best interests and can’t wait to get exploited harder… We’ll just have to agree to disagree.


  • What is this party conserving exactly? It clearly isn’t social programs, it clearly isn’t maintaining the greatest good for the most Canadians… Let’s just call this ideology what it is now: Corporatist. Everyone in here should know that advancing the interests of oligarchs and global capital definitionally comes at your personal expense either directly or indirectly, by definition. So this party is anti-Canadian, in that it seeks to disenfranchise and harm the Canadian public and the nation’s interests in service of private global capital. If you’re for that, own it, but don’t come pissing on my leg claiming you care about family values, or spirituality or anything but enrichment and power for the smallest minority of impossibly privileged people.

    Now who wants to take bets on what % of private interest groups they represent are even based in Canada?
