if that's true, then clearly you have made zero attempt to try and understand the position of the people you're upset at.

I suggest at the very least trying

Funny, I was about to ask you that same question

I thought you had brunch plans

liberals demanding better from the Democrats instead of demanding more from people they've done nothing to help challenge impossible

SOMEONE TELL ME HOW TO HARNESS THIS

why would we support workers through a transition away from massively harmful industries when we could instead pay those industries to keep pumping out asbestos, that's what's best for "the economy" according to the wonks who tell themselves they're not being ideological

hey now, that movement is one i can really get behind (and more importantly, it's how i got this behind)

I'm willing to bet this has a lot to do with what the AI industry wants deer.social/profile/did:...

How about we compromise with STV

Canada should also build a napalm & DDT factory to support our new trading partners. The economy is the most important issue to Canadians, after all

Wow this clever chess move to agree to a pipeline that will "never happen" but is already looking likely to be rammed through, in order to get "strengthened industrial carbon pricing" that is already being weakened by Alberta, is really showing how much piercing insight you have into this stuff

citizenlab.ca comes to mind but I don't know if it's quite their lane? Also met someone recently from a group called Civic Tech Toronto who are doing advocacy work around surveillance, so they might be interested - civictech.ca

I particularly thought John's comment about opening up political space is what Max's analysis consistently lacks.

When one's politics is just about following the winds of polling, it shows that they don't believe in anything, and therefore nobody can trust them. It's untenable past the short term.

Look, I'm just saying it's not a contest, and was trying to be polite about it.

It would be really fantastic if Americans could stop trying to tell us how we should feel about our current government, especially when those opinions are based entirely on the empty words of the PM's propaganda account

"... though he would not commit to publishing the 11,300 interventions from the Canadian public received during the government’s nationwide consultation process."

can't imagine why

Yes, our PM *sounds* reasonable. That's how he gets away with doing a lot of the same stuff your unreasonable-sounding admin does. Cutting services, ramping up border security, pushing for new oil pipelines, integrating surveillance & data sharing with the US ... it's not just 'imperfect', it's bad.
