Let's not forget, Doug Ford is following the playbook created by McGuinty and Wynne.

More reason to take the power away from ALL Parties while in Government from doing so. You do that by stripping away the rights and responsibilities of Government. Join the Libertarian Party of Canada and the Ontario Libertarian Party to prevent it in the future.

So true.

Libertarians, as opposed to the MAGA Republicans wearing the label like a skin suit, are opposed to abuse of the military and dismantling of the rule of law.

Libertarianism is always anti-fascist.

Support for fascism is what gives MAGA poseurs away as the authoritarian losers they always were.

In that area it's been interesting to watch folks associated with the libertarian movement stand up and express some well-founded alarm--people like me, @andycraig.bsky.social, @walterolson.bsky.social, @aaronrosspowell.com, and @sarwark.org. And many others.

So your point is that the Democrats and Republicans in the USA are full of hypocrites? I could have told you that long ago. It is why I am a member of the Libertarian Party, since that is where Ideology means more than a soundbite and a win.

You mean the countries where they have had the right taken away are now having the right to speech taken away.

Libertarian means believing in the NAP, that taxation is theft, and no right is higher than individual property rights. None of which aligns with authoritarianism on either side of the spectrum.

Always been and always will be a libertarian. I enjoy having morals and thinking for myself. Thanks. Hopefully you find your way back someday, you will be welcomed!

DEREK ELLIOTT for NIAGARA @elliott4mp.bsky.social · 19h

The current US president is an authoritarian Republican and is in no way a libertarian. Never has been.

DEREK ELLIOTT for NIAGARA @elliott4mp.bsky.social · 19h

No I acknowledge it as flawed.

"When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."

Tell me you know nothing about Libertarianism without telling me you know nothing about Libertarianism.

Rats Magazine @rats-magazine.bsky.social · 1d

Or- this is what libertarians always have been. A phony contrived “movement” that exists just to support the wealthy

Anyone who voted for Trump in the last election who called themselves a Libertarian is not a Libertarian.

As a #libertarian for over 15 years, few things anger me more than people pretending to care about *FREEDOM* and *LIBERTY* while simultaneously cheering on a tyrannical government bullying, censoring, kidnapping, and murdering people they don’t like.

I'm making sure consumers are paying for what they are getting. How the market evolves from that is how the market should be. Take the emotion of keeping people employed that shouldn't be out of the equation.

DEREK ELLIOTT for NIAGARA @elliott4mp.bsky.social · 2d

Even cheaper not to give the tip at all. Pay the cost of the service for the level of service you want and expect. Tipping culture has to end. If the employer doesn't price their good or service properly, that's not on the consumer.

DEREK ELLIOTT for NIAGARA @elliott4mp.bsky.social · 2d

Yes if that is what the market determines is the wage for the level of service being provided. That is how market pricing works.

Facts are funny to you?

It's glorious! She's exposing how both the left and right rush to project their politics onto a pop star. It proves her autonomy and that they're both too easily distracted.

The only fixes a Government should place on the private sector is removing itself from the private sector.
