There is a reason that over $2 trillion dollars was spent in 2026 alone on ai.

and the rewriting of Section 107 to explicitly authorize the labour minister to end a lawful work stoppage and impose binding dispute resolution where the minister believes the “national interest” is threatened.

We are the national interest. If we aren't, what the fuck is this all for and why should I buy in to it?

Just the general anti-US boycott many are participating in. Not an official thing, really.

2022-24

So preceding the current boycott, unfortunately.

I love how conservatives use their own failed ideas to paint their opponents (read: everybody) with the now-toxic terms they once rallied behind.

I'm a socialist. Why would a conservative complain about trickle down economics.

Carney isn’t the best option, not by far. His party was just the best of the feasible options; and by far. Politics and voting is like that, and the moment we let perfect be the enemy of good we’ll get Proudboy Milhouse or theTool or Harper or Sneer selling off Canada’s sovereign rights to China again.

No, it turns out the party that absolutely did not run on privatizing everything and limiting the right to strike but is doing those things anyways was not the "best feasible option". He's a dishonest liar who it turns out was a terrible option but now some people who got tricked into voting for that terrible option feel the need to justify that choice to themselves.

And it’d be good to remember that Trudeau was an Orange lib to win the orange seats where Carney is a red one.

Trudeau was not an "orange lib". He broke multiple strikes and never saw a P3 he didn't like. Trudeau was Liberal to the bone. Carney is a Harper conservative (or perhaps a British conservative would be more apt) who really wanted to be PM and saw that in the current political climate his best chance to do that was via the Liberal party. Mostly by lying through his teeth about what he intended to do until he bribed his way to a majority.

Yeah, the US is coasting on an impression of their might that used to exist but is now only a product of decades of Hollywood propaganda. Capitalism has enshittified their military the way it has everything else. A trillion dollar+ military budget that has never passed audit and pretty much isn't expected to is actually just a corruption budget.

That said, I do agree with the video that Carney is using the threat of Trump to push for things that people might push back against without that threat hanging overhead.

Crossing Canadian airspace with arrest warrant in effect...Again. This year.

Is Anita intentionally trying to insult our intelligence?

Carney is a duplicitous snake who regularly speaks out of both sides of his mouth. Basically right from the start. Remember during the election when he basically had people convinced he was going to start up a public home builder?

Turns out it we're just taking our umpteenth crack at trickle down.

Poillievre was never more than Stevie's attack dog which might be why it feels like we are living conservatism: six of one or half dozen of the other.

Copying Britain now, are we?

Of course not, that's why I prefaced my original comment with

If both of these things are true

I'm going off the reporting I've seen thus far.

I didn't suggest it was unique to humans.

Not directly Canada related, however with Canada signing contracts with Palantir, I think there's a lot of useful information for Canadians in this article.
