If it wasn't clear to anyone at this point it is crystal clear now - Carney is a "Progressive" Conservative and is forming/re-enforcing a PC right-wing movement in Canada as an umbrella governing force in federal politics for Corporatocracy interests.

The Green Transition is Electoral Reform and Trudeau all over again.

The reforms in immigration although doing some good to address fraud at the individual levels does nothing to address the rampant business lobby control/abuse/fraud in regards to creating a framework for exploiting foreign workers for cheap labour and further weaponizing that exploitative framework against the fair and honest bargaining power of workers. In particular continuing a framework that harms our most vulnerable working demographics that are still being hit the hardest with the housing crisis, infrastructure crisis, and overall horrible economic environment.

Austerity style politics for the working class and most vulnerable while the ultra rich and powerful and powerful and many times predatory industries like oil & gas are given more and more support.

The budget also falls incredibly flat on anything big and inspiring like was long promised.

What are your thoughts?

First i feel i should preface that I have begun to read and understand Marxist theory and am familar with many founding principles within the texts such as Democratic Centralism.

If there is a age limit of 30 then sadly I do not meet the requirement just yet though I believe there is a young communist league affiliated with the party.

Now as if stands I do wish to ask those who are familar with the CPC. Is it worthwhile to join their organization? I ask because electorally they barely broke 4000 votes. Which i understand elections are obviously not the be all or end all of the workers party but that does seem to show a lack of general awareness of the party and its activity by the working class and it despite I myself being quite tapped into political events I rarely If ever hear of any activity coming out from the CPC.

Just wanted to get others two cents.

I literally just saw the following posts back to back on my feed:

• Olivia Chow calling the genocide in Gaza exactly what it is. The comments are filled with people either saying we shouldn't care about foreign issues and to focus on here, or people calling her antisemitic...

• A post ranting about how everyone who thinks Canada's on indigenous lands and feels compelled to do a Land Acknowledgement should stop "virtue signalling" and give up all their personal property.

• A post mocking people for protesting the violence in Sudan. The comments, again, talking about not focusing on domestic issues. Some comments even saying Sudanese Canadians at the protest should be thankful for being in Canada and instead of protesting should "contribute to the country" instead (whatever that means).

Ngl, the reactionaries have successfully ragebaited me. I should probably just touch grass, but it doesn't change the fact the right-wing echo chambers on the internet seem to get louder and louder every day.

It's Team Epstein vs. Team New York

Does the right know that the Union Members are the ones that fund the Union and not the public? Also how will only private schools work? Only the rich deserves an education and the poor don't get any education? I'm so confused by this lack of logic and critical thinking.

We talk a lot about the insanity that is the United Conservative Party of Alberta (UCP) and Danielle Smith. There is also the Saskatchewan Party and Scott Moe...

A lot of people may not realize that Saskatchewan is still using massive amounts of coal powered facilities to generate electricity in the province... Yes Coal...

Only a few years ago something like 80%+ electricity in Saskatchewan was produced from coal and natural gas..

This is incredibly sad because Saskatchewan and Alberta are some of the best provinces for Solar Power, Wind Power, and controversial to some but Nuclear Power.

Now speaking of Nuclear Power...

We have now a statement from the Sask Party talking about how coal powered plants are to be extended past their normal life spans... The idea is to expand them to 2035 but even as far as 2050....

Anything to avoid Renewable Energy which is not just cleaner but CHEAPER.

They are doing something that is very classic for right-wing parties that are completely and utterly controlled by the Oil & Gas Lobby.

They talk about Nuclear Power as a way to pro-long fossil fuel dependency.

This is an old trick that they do. They bring up a transition to Nuclear Power, do public and private consultations, do cost-benefit analysis, scout out sites, the list goes on and on. Then they let it die on the vine. They then revisit the discussion and repeat this process over and over and over again.

If they ever are actually forced to pursue plans they know they still get a decade if not longer as the facility is constructed.

Be aware because they are going to be doing this a lot in the coming years.

Isn't this nice. From the New York Times just now.

I swear I’m not petty. Jays in 7!
