Austerity from our Neo-con Governement.
Remember the first thing they did was to axe fiscal measure that would have increased revenue (but it was taxing the rich). Instead they make regular people pay through service cuts.
The US is threatening #Canada (again) if we don't but their F-35s. Here's what Denmark said about the ones they bought, and regret buying:
"They're in for repairs about half the time or even more," he said, "so the Americans have all the power of actually destroying our air force just by shutting down [parts] supplies."

This is what austerity looks like, from Government that did cut *income* (was about taxing the rich more). The Neocon Party of Canada (NPC). Like PP, with better speech.

Hello Mastodon!
I’m Avi Lewis and I’m running to be the next leader of the federal NDP. Very excited to be part of the Fediverse!
I’m running for NDP leader because it’s time for the NDP to return to its roots—fighting a system rigged for the rich that leaves the rest of us behind.
We can build a Canada based on care instead of greed, but only if we do it together. There are only 4 days left to join the NDP so you can vote in the leadership race, so get your membership before Jan 28th and let’s fight for a government that serves the many, not the money.

The thing about saying on the Fediverse what our politicians should do is that we know they won't even hear it as we are not the CSAM generator and nazi bar they cherish so much.
But there is an easier way. @pluralistic has the gist of it.
Repeal the portion of Harper's C-11 where DRM override Canadian rights. Make repairing things legal. Also cancel the copyright extension.
Put back the DST (but the banker would never dare to do so) to encompass these "rental services" mentionned above. Tax Uber, Lyft and other "gig economy". You should be able to reconcile that from the tax information and send them the bill.
Sadly all of these require courage.
Trump threatens 100% tariffs on all Canadian goods if Canada 'makes a deal with China'

Please. Put these tariffs on auto parts for US cars. On wood product and lumber. On dirty oil. How about on electricity.
Oh great, it had been a few weeks since the latest threats

Trump threatens 100% tariffs on all Canadian goods if Canada 'makes a deal with China'
"China will eat Canada alive, completely devour it, including the destruction of their businesses, social fabric, and general way of life," Trump said.
"What sparked Carney’s intervention was not Sudan, Venezuela or Gaza. It was the US threat to Canada and Greenland.
A western prime minister took umbrage only when the US, under President Donald Trump, threatened to treat the prosperous West in the same way it has long treated the Global South."

Did Carney just signal a massive shift in Canada's foreign policy direction?
cbc.ca/news/politics/mark-carn…
Carney's action so far have been the opposite of his campaign promise. He is Neville Chamberlain. And if the US Army hummers cross the border, he'll be Pétain.
Mark Carney essentially said that the liberal rules based world order was a convenient lie everyone went along with because American hegemony opened up markets and sea lanes for them.
After decades in which the imperialist neoliberal order was not even questioned in the West, less than three weeks into it 2026, Canada, one of the biggest US vassals is saying this. 😆

Make Canada the center of right to repair. This will fuck companies like HP, Apple, TESLA, John Deere, etc.

Champagne is going to Washington to talk about trade and two Canadian MPs are leaving Taiwan early to make sure we're not upsetting China.
What a world
Canada purports to be a pluralistic country. It recognizes many ideas, many traditions, many communities are valid and worthwhile, and the country can and should do the work to know and understand as many as possible.
X is the antithesis of pluralism. X games anger outrage ignorance and prejudice for gain. The algorithm pushes these idea far beyond the real value of these ideas.
Only the pathetically naive and willfully ignorant don't see this.
Misinformation and its manipulation and the outsized harm and impact is today's political reality.
Solomon is feigning outrage with the naive confidence that his party's own misinformation gains through X, is still worthy and justified, that it will compete with the anger and outrage capable of supporting the killing of an innocent woman.
Supporting X is supporting anger, ignorance fear and prejudice, not very Canadian, or its it?

Also hat tip to CBC for writing headlines ambiguously. It read like it was Ford the automobile lobby while it was in fact Ford, the drug dealer.
