Carney's Liberal party wins Canadian election and completes a stunning turnaround fueled by Trump
The Liberals are projected to win more of Parliament’s 343 seats than the Conservatives, though it wasn’t clear yet if they would win an outright majority, which would allow them to pass legislation without needing help.
You're viewing a single thread.
You can predict what likely happens next: more neoliberal policies and degradation of quality of life. In one of the next election the fascists take over Canada. They never learn.
This is my fear as well. Neoliberal policies are exactly what have made the extreme right so strong and powerful over the past decades. When people have no means to get forward in life, they resort to despotism, which is exactly why the poorest parts of the USA are so strongly in favor of Trump, while the wealthier parts are still clinging onto the liberal train.
Like I said in other posts, this is a good day for the current term, but if the Liberals aren't serious about making life better for real Canadians (not the super-wealthy ones), there's a good chance that this is only exacerbating an inevitable collapse.
This is the part a lot of US liberals are missing. Those red states are shit holes now. Look bombed out and war torn because industry left and took the money with them, and they were thriving 40 years ago.
A wiser human than me could probably find a way to incentivise companies moving headquarters out of high cost of living areas to more rural areas where rent isn't half your paycheck.
I think ultimately we need to design an economic system that allows less work and less consumption. You want those outsourced jobs to come back but done by robotics. Coming back to stop needing to ship them halfway across the world, wasting energy. But we need to have a clear(er) vision to what we want to transition to. Like a partially planned and circular economy that covers the basic needs (food, living space, education, news, healthcare) for everyone for free. Otherwise there is nothing to believe in.
The 'rust belt' is over 40 years old now. Places like Detroit have started to stabilize.
The high cost of living is everywhere. Capital moves in the blink of an eye, setup a company in a small town and it'll be bought up and rented out before lunch.

At least we stopped Maple MAGA from taking over now... we learned this one trick from the Americans
Mark "100 million by 2100" Carney
Yeah neoliberals... the reason they want that is to get cheap laborers. Can't believe they are so brazen about it.
Kay? If the infrastructure is there what does it matter?
Immigrants = scary 🥺
Cons seriously need to come up with new talking points, trying to paint Carney as some kind of WEF great replacement agent clearly wasn't a winning strategy.
It isn't? Drive by Hamilton or any other GTA city, shits unreal how expensive housing is and homeless is more pronounced post-covid since they opened the flood gates and reduced CRS requirements so that anyone with a pulse could get in. They only back pedalled now on resuming policies they had pre-covid, but the damage is already done...
They want 100m by the end of the century no? You don't think we can build infrastructure to support that in 75 years? I wasn't saying now
No I dont think so, because I have lost faith in provincial governments actually realizing that goal. They cater to nimbys and the status quo
Well, with climate change warming stuff up, we will build on the old permafrost i guess
You know, we could do better. 150 seems reasonable.
