Corporations gonna corporate.

Canadian mining companies are amongst the most hated in the world and they give Canada a really bad name.

I’m not denying he did some great things for Canada. But he was still controversial amongst the québécois.

Also, one’s terrorist is another’s freedom fighter. It’s all a matter of perspective.

My argument was that they rely too much on private contractors to build the housing and they won’t build anything wihout any way of making a significant profit. The government used to build multi unit housing buildings before for social housing, but they pulled back from that over time.

Otherwise, I agree with everything else you said about the military.

In fact, someone else either here or on Mastodon suggested that the car manufacturing plants that might close down due to the tariffs, could be taken over by the government to build stuff. So why not military vehicles, etc?

Basically mirroring Trump in every bullet point of his plan.

Is his plan project 2025?

Totally.

Pierre Elliott Trudeau stabbed Québec in the back so many times. He was not a unifying PM at all. He pissed Québec off something fierce. He even got so far as imposing martial law in Québec at some point.

He did some good things for Canada, sure. But he was in no way a unifying PM.

Actually, yes.

The housing crisis could be fixed if the government started building subsidized housing again like it used to instead of hoping the private sector will save us and subsidizing these crooks who have been taking advantage of the market.

And the military, too. We need to invest in more and better equipment mostly.

No one is saying they like or support PP.

Criticizing Carney doesn’t mean you support PP.

Yeah well so did Trudeau. I was hopeful but I learned my lesson.

Carney also talks about making cuts. What is there left to cut???

He’s the best they’ve got, sure. But I don’t think he’s going to help the middle class. I don’t think he’s going to make a good PM.

I hope he proves me wrong.

Mine is a toss up between liberal, NDP and bloc québécois

So we’re going to ignore a whole party and it’s values and objectives because the leader has no charisma?

I don’t really care about charisma as long as they get the job done.

Yeah. I don’t know why everyone is fawning over Mark Carney. He is small ‘c’ conservative. There’s nothing he plans to do that’s actually going to alleviate the burden on the middle class.

That’s why I’m voting NDP next election. I don’t care that Jagmeet Singh is not popular. Their party’s plaform is exactly what we need right now. But nobody wants to acknowledge them as a real alternative to conservatives. No one is giving them any media attention also. So it’s hard for them to deliver their message.

How can you even negotiate with someone who is dishonest in the first place and has a record of not respecting any deals made?

Besides, it’s clear now that Trump is doing all of this in a scheme to manipulate world markets to his and his friends’ benefit, and to the detriment of everyone else. (Like they care anyway)

They all look like bot accounts with AI generated content.

So folding to all his demands was a lot of effort and spending for absolutely nothing.

Fuck the US.
