Well... Yeah. Between that and the housing market, what else is running Canada's economy? Telecom and grocery monopolies? Our economy is not great...
Thats why the money should be used to invest and diversify not help oil baron hoard even more wealth.
Do you think, just maybe, our politicians have some skin in this game and that they might stand to gain something from throwing billions into oil and gas?
I think Trudeau is a good guy IRL. He just joined the wrong party because of his dad's legacy.
I think his real values were more in line with the NDP which he should have joined in the first place.
Now he's stuck with a party with Neo liberal ideals that he has no choice but to promote.
I think our three major parties are all neoliberal. They all want to do the same things, they just argue against how much to spend and who to give the money to.
There's exceptions of course. Notably guns and marginalized people.
I'd prefer not to have a neoliberal government, but until then I'm voting for more freedom for everyone. (NDP or Green)
There are good labour movement people in the NDP. For example I think it's tragic that Charlie Angus lost to Singh for party leadership. But currently the NDP leadership pushes more on "neoliberal with some leftist lip-service" than actual labour ideals.
I liked Guy Caron. A socialist and an economist.
Can we elect the entire staff of The Beaverton? They might actually do a good job.
