Worse than Harper
They haven’t been progressive in decades. Avi offers a new look that I think people will respond to. They don’t have to form government, only an effective opposition to a minority government.
I think I fixed it.
I think if you listen to Avi you will see he has passion and drive delivered with a charisma that has been lacking in recent NDP leaders since Jack.. I like Avi and his vision. Give him a listen if you can, you will like him.
Canada has a long history of shedding core national interests to corporate America. The oil sands were developed by PetroCan, a crown corporation. Now, all the oil sands are owned by Americans. The entire Avro Arrow program was scrapped and burned (and the ground was salted) for an unknown reason to me, other than Americans. Connaught Labs, a world renowned developer of life saving vaccines was sold to Americans. The Canadian Wheat Board was dismantled, I think Saudis were involved, most likely supported by Americans. The list is endless. Canadians have to learn to value the things they develop.
When are progressive liberals going to cross the floor to join the NDP? I’m not a liberal supporter but can’t imagine this is what the liberal caucus imagined when Carney was elected leader.
There is a significant percentage of Canadians who wish to be American. I’ve known several. I don’t understand it. I’m expat American.
This is very disappointing. Heather would be establishment NDP offering nothing new. She would likely support the proposed pipeline being shoved on BC. In the debate all she offered was platitudes and slogans, no policy. Avi provided policy, had some french (which is sadly very important), and is the only real progressive candidate to date.
“Porcupine their countries”, I really like that.
Not particularly. There used to be conditions for getting access to tree farm licenses. Any wood you cut had to be processed within something like 200 km. I’m guessing but probably Gordon Campbell eliminated that condition.

Nation Building
(lemmy.ca)
A freighter loaded with Canadian logs in Nanaimo today. I know this has nothing to do with Carney, but this is not nation building. I also know it is complex. But would it not be better to load that freighter with finished lumber rather than raw logs?
Centre left, sure …

How the fuck is he a liberal? Who nominated him? How have dozens of former liberals not crossed the floor to the NDP? He is worse than Harper. Beyond PP’s dreams! Fucking alarming.
