While the Govt tries to kill Canada Post, and strike started, the PM is in England watching Rugby.... Like a CEO.
For any Canadians who want to pressure the government to force Canada Post to the table, NOT to force postal workers back to work, you can follow these steps!

The Govt want Canada Post to remove home delivery and switch to (communal) boxes around the corner.
I lived in suburbia eons ago where this was the norm. I can tell that many time mail wasn't delivered in the winter because the boxes were not accessible (snowed in), Given the recent record of the city in clearing the street, I can tell you this would be worse.
Canada Post is a service, not a consumer product. The idea that it operates at a "loss" is stupid. It's like saying schools operate at a loss; hospitals operate at a loss; roads operate at a loss; sewers operates at a loss.
We pay for public services collectively, because they are simply needed for our society for function and for everyone to have (relatively) equal access to participate in culture/society/democracy.
Stop reducing necessary services to an income statement!

Just thinking about how the money Canada spent on just one pipeline (TMX) could have bought every single Canadian an e-bike AND had billions left over.
Just let that sink in
Every adult and child, a free e-bike, and billions left over.
Instead we bought a pipeline.
Next we're gonna generationally invest in what? Solar? Micro-electric mobility? Battery tech? Agriculture? Health care? Kickstarting green industry?
Probably not. We're probably going to bankrupt the country for fossil fuel interests.

Canada aims to start Alto high speed rail construction in four years
CANADA: The Alto high speed rail project is to benefit from a Major Projects Office which the government has established to identify projects that are in the national interest and streamline their assessment and approval to accelerate development.Railway Gazette International
"carbon capture project." <- and they are getting scammed on this. The only carbon capture is by keeping that shit in the ground. In solid or liquid form.
Carney recommending 5 'nation-building projects' for approval, including LNG expansion: sources
cbc.ca/news/politics/carney-ma…
Everything to subsidise private profit, nothing to benefit the average canadian. No transit, no high-speed rail. Nothing.
All about destroying the planet so the oligrarch can make more bucks.
I really don't think Carney knows what the words "nation building" means. "Nation building" is making big ambitious investments that make people proud of being part of the nation and unite the nation.
Public healthcare was a nation building project. The railroad was a nation building project. The Canadarm did some nation building. Weed could have been if Trudeau didn't fuck it up and put the provinces in charge. Dental care could have been if it wasn't just Obamacare for teeth.
Examples of nation building projects would be:
- High speed rail
- Free universal child care
- Massive investment in public transit across all cities (not PPP)
- A UBI
- A nationalized ISP with a mandate to provide high speed internet to all
No one is going to be like "I am so fucking proud we have invested in a copper mine!" or "Wooo! Upgrades to existing nuclear power plant!!" or "phase 2 of an LNG pipeline? Awesome! Phase 2, baby!!"
Those are not nation building. Those are just industry investment.

The Carney government's suspension of the EV mandate has nothing to do with “pragmatism” or “moderation” as I heard an interviewee say on the CBC this morning.
It's about the Ontario car industry realizing they don't make EVs or even Hybrids that can compete with Korea, Japan, or Europe (let alone China).
People want them. BC is at 20% new (the mandated level), Quebec is at 30%. Those are the #2 and #3 most populous provinces in Canada btw.
It's politics, and... specifically with Carney, cowardice, nothing else. BC’s Energy Minister Adrian Dix called it out
“I want to say this: Their target for this year, we achieved four years ago,” Dix said of the existing federal electric vehicle mandates. “The issue here in Canada -- and I think the federal government needs to engage in this a little bit -- is first and foremost with Ontario.”

Ontario drove Carney’s decision to suspend EV mandate: B.C. Energy Minister Dix
British Columbia’s energy minister says the federal decision to delay its electric vehicle sales mandate largely reflects circumstances in Ontario, and Ottawa should follow through on a more Canada-wide policy after its review.The Canadian Press (CTVNews)
Canada needs a real environmentalist party not just "conservatives who recycle" with a green label.
So one need to have 100K to run for NDP leadership. That's a mighty gatekeeping which mean that no just anyone (competent) can run for it.
That mean if you run, you are beholden to a financier. If that's not corruption then WTF that is?
Do they have a minimal number of Rolexes required too?
(don't point at other parties, it is the exact same shit, but they all currently have a leader, even incompetent ones)
So this "buy Canadian" policy announced by Carney - any more details on it?
We have the previous eye-popping increase of military spending to 5% of GDP, dozens of billions...is that going to be spent in #canada
Dozens of billions spent on US cloud services, SAAS, social media, ad purchasing, and consulting? Is that going to become "buy Canadian" too?
Is the Canadian govt going to drop Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Oracle, Deloitte, IBM, Accenture out of their procurements?
With the PM chasing the voters to the right he is telling the voters to the left to fuck off. Expect him to lose the fuck out of it. Because the voters to the right will never vote for his party.
He doesn't have a majority in Parliament. Now that Pierre Poutine has his job back...
Carney knows this. So why does he want more wealth inequality?
Austerity has *never* worked.
----
As the past four years and countless historical examples from the last 100 years show, while it makes sense for any one state to try and cut its way to growth, it simply cannot work when all states try it simultaneously: all we do is shrink the economy.
-
As Blyth amply demonstrates, the arguments for austerity are tenuous and the evidence thin. Rather than expanding growth and opportunity, the repeated revival of this dead economic idea has almost always led to low growth along with increases in wealth and income inequality.

How does walking back the mandate spur more demand, exactly?
"The mandate requires the number of new ZEVs (zero-emission vehicles) sold in Canada to hit 20% by next year, 60% by 2030 and 100% by 2035 in order to help the country hit its emission-reduction targets.
A government release explains that the EV pause and other measures in the strategy will... spur more domestic demand."
There is #noplanetb. 20% was already such a small number...

Let me get this. Those that don't want the EV mandate would be the one that would never vote for the PM party. (they got a pipeline with the previous PM)
Those that did? They can go fuck themselves.
