I can see it quite clearly, it is shaped like a Mark Carney
comment in response to
post
Poilievre can barely find anything to criticize. Carney is expanding the military, the surveillance state, pushing legislation that tramples treaty rights and environmental rules, and appointing asset managers to every position he can. In what world is this the middle of the political spectrum?

Straight up the middle of what, Bay Street?

I'm sure he'll be very dignified as he sends the RCMP in to clear the way for pipelines

Can't get a response on anything from @aslamrana.bsky.social in Hamilton Centre either, although I'm not going to give up trying

Either this dude is very cocky or doesn't understand sarcasm, either way I rest my case

Mark Carney only plays 4D chess against everyone else, not against us
(I am very smart and immune to propaganda)
comment in response to
post
Jfc apparently every one of his appointments is either someone he regularly hangs out with at exclusive meetings, or is an exec at a massive asset management firm 🤯
I cannot believe how many people are still convinced he's playing 4D chess on our behalf rather than against us

“the United States would be guaranteed first right of refusal on Canadian resources”
Omg no

It's exactly the same position as Carney tying mining & fossil fuel projects to "national security" and "global stability". Stability and security for who - the people who will be most impacted by climate change or mining pollution? Or for the western 1%?

"other disputes"
this honestly says it all to me. If our leaders cannot see Palestinians as human beings with dreams and hopes and friends and worries, with as much of a right to peace, security, and freedom to live as anyone else on this planet, then we have lost our moral standing completely.

I guess ultimately my feeling is this: if Trump is getting upset over the smallest thing anyway, then why doesn't this coalition take a much stronger moral position? Is what Trump would (theoretically) do to us worse than what is (actually) happening to Palestinians?

This is a good overview of the resource consumption, but I wish the author didn't fall for the hype about AI 'being manipulative' or 'lying to save itself' etc. Those were cases where the AI builders essentially prompted their chatbots to generate those kinds of responses. The machines don't think.

I got put on some Canadian turbo-Lib's blocklist that has like 2000 Canadian turbo-Lib subscribers, and I no longer have to deal with any of them.
It's suddenly dawning on me that I should be incredibly thankful for this 😁

I admire your optimism, but I don't share it. Anyway, Trump's still going to be in power after the G7, and is impossible to appease - not that we should be trying.
Carney is leveraging a perception that he's 'good in a crisis' to ram through his agenda & keep criticism at bay. Let's not enable him.

The way these people are, I genuinely think you have better odds if you say you'll do it for $16B

me too, it's hard to describe though, hmm ... urgh it's white on the tip of my tongue
comment in response to
post
Carney is talking about Carbon Capture & Storage, and used the phrase "decarbonized oil" a couple days ago.
If that's the guy who is supposed to be knowledgeable about the environment, then we're in an enormous amount of trouble
comment in response to
post
Yeah that speech was well-written, but absolutely terrifying. He's tying everything to national security super explicitly now.
But none of our problems are gonna be solved with more weapons. This is feeling like an economic pump and dump before these assholes retreat to their New Zealand bunkers.

Great point! The feds are talking a lot about reducing interprovincial barriers, maybe they could focus on people and not just profits

They're called Value(s), and no we don't

Haha if you had only seen how long it took me to learn what to do & get everything prepped!
Learned a LOT though, my home server now connects to a VPS via tailscale, login via codeberg-hosted OIDC, and TLS terminates on a machine I physically control. *And* client IPs are forwarded to that box 😊

Turns out I just hadn't opened port 1965 on the VPS lol 😅
Stil might need to adjust the config a bit but it's reachable thankfully

It's quite possible they did ask Dougie as well, but this just so happens to be them asking Carney to do something to help Ontarians. I don't think Carney cares about us regular folks any more than Ford does, though

looks like it went ok except for my gemini capsule 🤔
something to do with PROXY protocol I'm guessing, will investigate
