Carney's Liberals are enabling fascism in a multitude of countries.

I'm livid. My spouse who liked Carney for years is livid. I have no faith in this Liberal government to do the right thing. Absolutely zero.

Sorry to hear. Everyone in every country should vote for their Green Party candidates, but PRO-WAR Green Party: ones who will NOT capitulate to scumservative fascists. Whether within a country or between countries. Whether done by pre-existing armies or armed civilians or both.

We will be much better off with this guy......is what you're suggesting?

This country had three parties. Why do you assume conservative? Is it because you're conservative? I'm not. I never made mention of PP.

PS this country has six parties. Currently only three with official status.

revolutionandcrime.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yes, it had four with official status at the election, three for most Canadians.

I'm just suggesting those are LITERALLY the two options we have at this time to form gov. Unless you're in a riding that can vote in a Green (maybe three of those in Canada) or NDP, max on that is about 20 at present, only if folks vote CON.

Forming government isn't my goal, winning representation in my riding is my goal.

Thank you Ms McPherson and thank you Lloyd Axworthy.

This photo post does not mention anything the current Canadian gov has done. Literally, unrelated. Stop being a misinformation spreader.

ALL countries should treat the convicted 34 felony criminal rapist trump INFINITELY WORSE than the way all the innocent victims of El Salvadoran prison are treated, since THEY did nothing wrong.

I agree with Lloyd. He's right on.

This is actually really conservative. Do you remember how you said how do you sleep at night John like was he trying to tell us something?

The thing is, Trump is not a normal leader. He is angry and vindictive. Also erratic. His administration wants to destroy our economy so we will be happy to be annexed. Our PM and others have to tread carefully at this point.

revolutionandcrime.bsky.social•2 days ago

Capitulating to his whims is doing all of Canada and the global south a disservice.

exjoh.bsky.social•1 day ago

So what might your responses to him be? He makes deals, then renegs on them. He lies constantly. If he is aggrieved he punishes big time. Every leader in the western world knows he is a fool, but are well aware of the damage he can inflict.

Focus on my second biggest trade partner, and not play games with Trump.

exjoh.bsky.social•1 day ago

The thing is, our two economies are so intertwined, esp. the auto sector.

appeasing Trump the way this government has been doing is, as far as I'm concerned, a hair's breadth from actual, no-shit treason
