Now is not the time to be discussing moving the border, a topic which was started by trump in the context of threats to our sovereignty. I don't find this funny and see it in poor taste.

Suburbs tend to be more conservative than cities. I suppose they can also be more progressive than rural ridings though?

This is a reminder for whoever needs to hear this that DEI does not mean setting quotas on hiring by race. That is a myth.

Instead, it's making sure that people of all races and genders are informed about the job opportunity so they have a chance to apply too. The best talent is then hired.

Today, DEI is used as a dogwhistle by MAGA who hates seeing genders and races other than their in-group at their workplace.

DEI is a dogwhistle for people who can't use the hard R at this point...

The hero we need.

Depends on the province. Ontario is underfunded and has serious issues exacerbated by our conservative former-hash-dealer and long-time Trump supporter Premier who wants to privitize it. Alberta healthcare is a mess from MAGA Danielle Smith trying to privitize too.

We should care for our elders, yes. They also have the lowest poverty rates in the country while young people are experiencing the worst poverty and unempyment rates with a bleak future. Our society is so wealthy. Healthcare should be a human right no matter your age.

Now if only we could force that federal liberal government to tax the rich and expand pharmacare, dental care, and cover mental health care.

!fairvote@lemmy.ca is on bluesky too.

Wrong community?

Trump is overtly trying to distance himself from Poilievre and pretend they're not aligned on right-wing politics.

Trump, Musk, Jordan Peterson, and many other far-right endorsements were terrible for Poilievre's polls. Now he's making weak, vague endorsements of Carney in hopes he can hurt his reputation too and get Poilievre in power.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is still in B.C., where he’s pitching life sentences for fentanyl traffickers and gunrunners.

Classic.
