I am a progressive socialist, an atheist, an egalitarian, a science-geek, and proudly Canadian. I am pro-critical thinking and anti-faith in all forms. All of life is political. 🇨🇦 🇺🇦

A favourite quote from Siddhartha Gautama:
Carney's recent trade deals w/China are a great boon to Canada. Just what has been signed so far goes far in protecting us from the economy destroying chaos being exported from USA. We must also finalize the EV deal with China w/local manufacturing involvement in Ontario required.

SHAME on all those Conservative Members of Parliament who stood & applauded in memory of Charlie Kirk, the hate-filled American, rage-bating, far-right-wing, media figure. This is a clear indication of how the Conservative Part wants to import American division & Trumpism into Canada. #canpoli
Thank you to PM Carney for saying "No!" to Pres. Trump's demand that Canada hand over $25 Billion to America for defending Canada. To comply with that demand would be to simply hand over our sovereignty to the Americans. We need to do as Carney intends & increase our own self-defence capabilities.
Correction: Hyundai plant. (I had had been studying some LG data just before I made that post).
Kudos to the South Korean Gov't for bringing home its workers who have been unjustly threatened & abused by Trump's MAGA insanity and for closing the Alabama LG plant which was clearly not appreciated by the Americans in this deep Red state.
Kudos to President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico for greatly improving Mexico's healthcare services. They are adding hospitals, insurance, & other medical services at a great rate while Republicans in USA are busy reducing all of these for the American population. #healthcare #MexicoPoli
73 year old here and ditto.
I am 76 & I have had most of these vaccinations at one time or another. Also vaccinations against Covid, Tetanus, plus Cholera & Yellow Fever when travelling in foreign countries.
These prevented me catching horrible diseases & dying a gruesome death. They did not harm me, they protected me!
One of my favourite actors, for decades. He truly will be missed by those who knew his work.

Anti-Union Lobby Groups Endorsed PP's Conservatives

The party received endorsements from 'open shop' groups with a long history of anti-union lobbying

Both Merit Canada and Merit Ontario also lobbied to make it harder for construction workers to organize unions.

Thank you to PM Carney for taking such a strong stance with the American Ambassador over protecting Canada's sovereignty in the Arctic, including over the Northwest Passage. Canada will lose its sovereignty over these areas to USA unless we use every card we have to protect it. #CanPoli #Arctic
Kudos to Azerbaijan for sending thousands of shells to Ukraine for use against the Russian aggressors. #SlavaUkraine
Kudos to European nations, & Canada, who are seriously considering stationing troops in Ukraine, not to fight in the front lines but to protect Ukrainian-held communities & infrastructure against Russian aerial attacks. When we are invited in, such protection should not be limited to NATO countries.
Kudos to Jamaica for greatly tightening up its Visa restrictions for USA tourists & for foreign purchasers of property in Jamaica (most of whom are American) & for diversifying its economy away from USA. Jamaica is correctly standing up for its own sovereignty, national pride and economic future.
I am a socialist, I believe that we should improve our economy through the use of socialist measures such as Medicare, Denticare, gov't support for unions, the banning of unpaid internships, basic minimum incomes, guaranteed minimum housing, etc, etc. Achieving this requires foreign investment.
It's like with a corporation. When people invest, that is corporations, or nations, borrowing.
We borrow it from other countries of course, just like we do every year. Do you not understand how the economy works? I assure you, Carney does. Stop listening to conservative economists who are motivated by dogma more than by reason.
Trump's ending trade talks w/Canada has a very strong up-side. It strengthens the impetus to detangle our economy from the current state of over-integration w/ that of USA. It strengthens our determination to form new & stronger alliances w/other countries. In the long run it will strengthen Canada.
No matter which Canadian Party you voted for, let's all get behind this: we need to end the "Safe 3rd Country" agreement with the United States. They are no longer a safe 3rd country and have said they will deport Canadians to Guantanamo rather than back to Canada if they feel like it. #canpoli
Shame on Danielle Smith (Prem. of Alberta) & Scott Moe (Prem. of Saskatchewan) for bringing American liquor back for sale. With every move they prove they are traitorous Trumpists with no loyalty to Canada at all. As an Albertan, I want everyone to know that Smith doesn't speak for all Albertans.
How do you purchase a house when needed? You get some from savings & borrow the rest. Canada has more than $350 Billion in US treasury Securities & we absolutely should sell much of that off. We are also successfully building a larger & stronger economy, making it very affordable to borrow.
Kudos to PM Carney for removing Federal barriers to inter-Provincial trade & for bringing Canada's military expenditure to 2% this year instead of by 2030. This is the kind of quick & directed action Canada needs right now. Canada cannot even pretend to defend the Arctic without this. #canpoli

What is the point of having an election if politicians want to ignore the results ?
Pierre Poilievre lost an election and his seat, So he decides to remove a legally elected MP and steal their seat then get the Canadian taxpayers to pick up the $1.7 million dollar bill for a bi-election !
Disgusting
