Sooooo the Davos speech meant nothing... Got it.

as shocked as you are

He attacked a leftist slogan as being meaningless and no one believing it.

Carney is a slave to money and nothing else.

When he kept all the same ministers and appointed Gregor Robinson as housing minister, after he destroyed Vancouver's real estate sector, it was immediately obvious. He's a Brookfield shill.

Even Mark Wiseman of the century initiative is there, after his hair brained mass immigration scheme decimated the poor.

In 2023, he retweeted a Globe and Mail column calling for that dramatic increase in immigration levels to become federal policy “even if it makes Quebec howl.”

Once he steals a majority we are screwed.

LPC looking more and more like establishment democrats down south.

Did they ever not? They're both right-leaning establishment parties that represent the interests of the wealthy.

'your right, we should remind donald we exist and have him lash out at us again over a regime that just executed 6,425 to 34k people last month alone, genius.'

Kinda nothing. The US has no obligation to look up our past rhetorical precedents, if they invade.

Canada being an enemy of Iran isn't new, and the US is definitely able to do this, so there would be no payoff to condemning it.

and yet you'll have cry babys say you support genocide if you take this stance. its infuriating that some people here still act like shitty redditers who think the the leader of a nation should get involved in pointless conflicts that dont pertain to them when we are not strong enough to even fully protect ourselves.

I've also seen Reddit/Lemmy suggest dropping nukes on Russia is a good, moral and safe idea, and I've seen it often.

Like, why would you play armchair general, if you're not actually interested in how any of this works?

Not being able to stop it, still leaves a big gap between applauding it and criticizing a needless action to cause many deaths in the world.

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Except he's a world leader, not a shitposter, so his words actually have tangible repercussions in terms of blowback.

There's no prize for most telling-it-as-it-is here. Global politics is not a Twitter thread.

[-] Smaile@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

Like Donald trying to find a way to lash out at us again.

[-] Smaile@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago

we said the same the when Maduro was nabbed, just a boiler plate response.

Carney seem to want to stay out of it as much as possible.

[-] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca -3 points 2 months ago

Why are we pretending the Iranian government is good after killing thousands of protestors a few weeks ago?

This is Trump illegally invading a country again, and that country has awful regressive leadership. There’s no good guy here.

[-] Witchfire@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago

No one is pretending the Iranian government is good. Both sides of a conflict can absolutely suck for different reasons

[-] PlaidBaron@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

If our government actually had some moral backbone they would continue to condemn Iran and also condemn the US attack.

But they dont.

[-] Smaile@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago

would be ballin but never going to happen.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 months ago

The point you evidently missed here is that Carney is legitimizing the same logic that Trump can apply to Canada next.
