So we dipping to KKKANADA YET?

I kinda don't have anything or anyone anyway, I'm a trans woman, I have..... documented interactions with law enforcement officers during protests and am in the Midwest. I don't have a passport. But I got high INT & CHR stats. And the grit of a White Sox girlie.

Carney is a conservative (was in Harper's cabinet, was a banker in UK and US and is friend with Ghislaine Maxwell) and the canadian public got played by the old 'jangle keys in front of them' into voting for a wolf hoping to keep the bear out. He's now about to sell off a shitload of natural ressources to trump, because he was his chosen plant all along.

I don't follow. Without Trump's threatening to invade, Pollievre would likely have won. Would he not have suited US goals just as much, if not more than Carney?

Why did Trump suddenly do a 180 on PP and started calmly tweeting about how he prefers having a liberal in the canadian parliament. All we hear is "we need to accept X authoritarian, unpopular measure (like pipelines, infringing on indigenous lands, opening natural ressources for exploitation) to combat Trump". But it's his guy: ex Goldman Sachs banker, he became prime minister without elections, he's pictured with Ghislaine Maxwell, plus he made the crown as popular as its ever been in Canada. It was all a psyop and they used the same fear tactics because "PP would be worse". We just elected our Kamala but it didn't even take a token minority person to make us vote for the "least fascist" option.

Pay close attention and you will see that Carney is doing exactly what american and british capital put him there for: strip the copper from the walls while the dumbasses are distracted. Also fuck PP and the conservatives but you cant tell me to vote for a guy that's been under Harper and is a tool of capital to counter "the much farther right than this party already is".

Wait he was in Harper's cabinet?

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

"Senior associate deputy minister" of Finance apparently. From 2004-2007, so he was actually in with the Liberals for a bit before Harper came in in 2006.

Despite the three qualifying adjectives, it looks like he actually was responsible for quite a bit of policy. I would've figured only an elected representative could become a minister, huh.

Deputy minister (even with adjectives) is a very powerful position in the Canadian federal bureaucracy.
