Never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake.

• Sun Tzu

Those people also don’t appreciate that in the context of Trumps unpredictability no publicly made plans would remain unchanged.

Hold the phone… Are they telling me the guy who ran multiple nations’ banks has investments!?!?!?

I think we’ll see the wave function flip soon enough. Some young people are actively seeking the analogue world that they are too young to remember.

Schools are realizing hand written assignments do have a place in the digital age. School admins are finally stepping up and restricting cellphone usage during class times.

Parents are realizing ipads and youtube are infinitely worse than the saturday morning cartoons that filled older generations screen time.

I have a hunch we’re going to see a hard swing back to analogue tech like cash, paper & pen, and face to face activities.

I got family in AB… The parents believe the bullshit. But their kids all have lgbqt+ friends and as they get older it’s clear they’re low key seeing through the bullshit their parents don’t.

I’m also an NDP voter that voted LPC over CPC. I knew we wouldn’t get Value(s) Carney, but I do believe that if anyone is going to shift capitalism in a better direction it would be him.

As a former bouncer I completely disagree that silence is a sign of weakness or subservience. That’s just good tact. Never argue with an idiot, they’ll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Elbows Up doesn’t mean you should draw a penalty. You’re supposed to hit them hard and get away with it.

As far as the DST. I find it interesting that a tax we never collected is being framed as a loss we deserve compensation for.

A month ago I thought bills C-2 & C-5 were overreach, and their lack of oversight definitely is… I wrote several letters to that effect. But given the continuation of Trumps annexation rhetoric, I now recognize those bills were designed for a political environment that is still burgeoning.

Based on Trumps usage of ICE I believe it’s inevitable that the USA will use domestic crossings to affect some form of hybrid war against Canada. Russia & China will certainly occupy northern Canada if we don’t rapidly expand our national infrastructure.

These threats, I believe, do justify deprioritizing environmental concerns, to a degree.

I think the silver lining is that Carney’s energy expansion in to oil/gas is not mutually exclusive with expanding renewable energy.

I also sold mortgages for a short time and saw the industry change more in 24 months than 24 years. I agree that the least harmful economic solution to housing is to freeze housing prices where they are until cost of living and supply normalize. The alternative of housing prices drop would have a net negative effect. The CMHC in 2014 & 15 made major changes to reduce Canadian borrowing power to avoid a post mortgage crisis of mass defaults like what we saw in the USA.

I think the world is too volatile right now to expect concrete plans that aren’t heavily hedged. Carney is playing the game correctly by holding Canada’s cards close and not telling his bluffs.

Love this guy!

I agree with this. I think a lot of Carney haters conveniently forget who Poilievre is. But in general every good point this blog post had to offer was buried underneath writing that shouldn’t have been cut out in a draft.

Yup. Here’s my thoughts on those.

1. DGAF bout stampede and pancake flipping

2. DGAF bout stampede and pancake flipping

3. Only mention of replacement in that article is union saying AI cannot replace them. IMO we need more AI tools in public service.

4. The expectations being unrealistic are your allegations. Based on what I’ve read from you, you’re wholly unqualified to make those kind of determinations.

5. Broken Link. I’ll assume it’s your opinion that the timelines are unrealistic.

6. Canada’s steel/auto sectors are highly integrated and interruption is going to have massive ripple effects in the Canadian economy. So yea Carney is meeting with their CEOs. NEXT.

7. Our legislature has been largely ineffective and it’s Clear the CPC/PP intend to continue gridlocking our government. Shifting power from the house is hardly the biggest problem with C-5. Further illustrating that you’re not writing this article objectively but with a specfic target in mind.

8. An amendment gets voted down and this relates to pancakes HOW? At least this is a legitimate concern about C5. Albeit a widely discussed one.

Honestly that’s as far as I got. I have concerns about bills C-2 and C5, but the way you’re trying to connect this to Carney personally is a waste of my time as a reader.

You absolutely lost me when you started trying to call out his financial holdings. It’s right there in his response… Is Pierre Poilievre on the up and up with his stock options?

If I had written that and submitted it to my English teacher he would have told me to delete 80% and do 3 more drafts.

This whole thing comes off as a Carney hate piece with zero objectivity. You need to appreciate that the people taking the time to read articles are likely going to be turned off by blatantly biased writing.

I personally am only bothering to respond because clearly you put some effort into this, and maybe you do have something valid to say. But you got some work to do first.

TLDR: Author calls Carney a nightmare boss than proceeds to neurotically nitpick him like the worst micromanager in the multiverse. Literally no connection between their vapid observations and the baseless claims they allege.

The comments they made here are a clear indication of the lack of objectivity and frame of reference behind their writing. But it is an opinion and entitled to be so. It’s just not a very good opinion.

The irony would be hilarious but I’d wager he’ll make a great propaganda piece to keep the MAGA base in line. They’ll blast his story to convince them that the lack of due process is a liberal lie.

This is exactly how FPTP inevitably results in a 2-party system.

Obviously the LPC only views electoral reform as a cheap trick to garner votes.

Maybe the NDP can come back with such a promise?

Unless the LPC noticeably improves peoples lives in the next 12 months we’re probably going to see another election. Who knows what’ll happen then.
