Do it. There is nothing particularly special about the voices here. They could do well with getting taken down a few pegs.

Finally! Yes!
Now get everyone else on board please! The sooner the US gets decoupled the sooner the rest of us can get back some kind of quality of life.

Okay then, tackle climate change.
HumanOnEarth@lemmy.ca · 24 pts · 257d
That's the most important one. Unfortunately it's almost impossible to compel compliance from major economies.
Our best chance is what Carney is doing, move on without them in as many domains as possible and wait for the US to collapse or reform, then invite them to the big kids table again.

I note the large investiment from

Remember, the United States is the largest oil producer in the world. Canada is number 4 right behind Russia.
We are not quite a Petro state but we are pretty close.

The US has dodged its way out of every binding international treaty, including climate ones.
etuomaala@sopuli.xyz · 2 pts · 254d
I'm starting to think the only way to tackle climate change is for the people to start destroying fossil fuel infrastructure, starting with the highest volume targets that take the longest time to replace.

The world can, and it should. Especially our tech companies.

Carney is an Obama-esque a-hole who says really nice things but, in fact, is going to drive many more Canadians into poverty. (As one would expect from an international banker-turned-politician.)
But he's not wrong, and what sucks is Americans really don't know how trade deals work, so in a year-ish when all the post-tariff trade deals go in, and the supply chain has rerouted itself around the US, we're all going to be poorer for it except for the handful of billionaires who profited handsomely off the economic chaos.

Someone else would have been better, but Carney is the best Canada can manage with its dogshit voting system. At least he's a servant of the state and not corrupt dictator wannabe like Trump. (Increasingly not wannabe)

Give it a week, he’ll find a way to coddle the Americans after Trump flips his lid over this.

Also if the liberal party could stop disarming citizens at a time of high threat that d be great.

Why do he still support Israel, the US proxy who destabilized the whole middle east?

You’re right Canadians should get rid of him and bring in Pierre Poilievre like Americans did Trump to show the liberals!

It's hilarious to see the curtain falling down today on all these chuds.
I think most people at least expected, but now it's basically confirmed, these kinds of comments are either from malicious actors or people dumb enough to fall for the schemes of malicious actors.

Are you saying Carney doesnt support Israel? Or that you dont mind that he does?
tornavish@lemmy.cafe · -4 pts · 257d
I’m saying the people who complain about anyone supporting Israel don’t actually care about Israel or the Palestinians, they care about having ammunition to be used on the west.
You never hear them complaining about any of the other global atrocities when the west isn’t involved. Uyghurs?
mrdown@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 257d
I complain about China, Russia, Israel , the UAE , the RSF and anybody who is committing atrocities directly or indirectly while you use other genocides to deflect from the one in Gaza .
Russia and China abstaining from voting the surrender plan in Gaza shows that they do not care about Palestinians like yourself don't. Francesca Albanese exposed China for sending military components and dual-use items to Israel, which makes it complicit in the genocide. Canadian and French weapons was also found in Sudan , a genocide that you love to use against pro Palestinians who also support ending that genocide .
tornavish@lemmy.cafe · -7 pts · 257d
Show me a comment where you condemn China and not mention the west.
mrdown@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 257d
You never talked about the genocide of the Uyghurs except to deflect from the genocide in Gaza so I don't have to proof anything to you

I asked for a link. Are you deflecting just like you accused me of?

I don't support the destruction of the west , criticizing a countries human rights abuses to support of it do not means . You don't care about the Uyghurs , the Sudanese, the Palestinians, and the Ukrainians you just care about your fake patriotism.
The last time I criticized China was when they abstained for voting against the surrender plan for Gazans and when Francesca Albanese exposed them . When the last that you criticized the west for not respecting their own values of human right protections no matter who commit human right abuses?

“Fuck everyone” isn’t really criticizing China.
You should spend more time exposing the atrocities around the world that people aren’t as familiar with. Do some good. Be better.

well that's a new welcomed developement because since winning the election, Carney has done nothing but grovel for the idiot king
let's hope it's not just more politician lies like during the campaign
HumanOnEarth@lemmy.ca · 5 pts · 257d
Typical, boring Maple MAGA tripe. Yawn.
Jhex@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 256d
I voted for Carney... would never vote for PP but what I say is accurate and I can back it up, being a bootlicker for Carney does not get you any points buddy
Carney has done nothing but appease the Idiot King by giving him everything he wants:
Bill C2 Moves Canada towards a police state and hands over the data to Muricans
Bill C5 is the "drill baby drill" green light the Idiot King demanded
Carney kills Digital Service Tax entirely to appease the Orange Pedophile gaining Canada nothing
Carney's first budget is nothing but neoliberal policies, killing any environmental protection (weak as they already were) and paid for by slashing jobs and services... exactly what the Serial Rapist Felon Pressy is doing in Murica
I have no doubt PP would have made everything worse and with less dignity... but to pretend Carney has done a good job defending Canada or that he has even sustained an "elbows up" attitude as claimed during the election, is sycophantic behaviour
