What. The. Fuck?
Looks like standard Liberal Party government: say good things, then do what the Conservatives would do.
Sadly, yes
I voted for Carney specifically so shit like this won’t happen… but it did!
The same Carney that wants to pass a bill so the police can demand your ID willy nilly? the same Carney that in another bill wants to install backdoors to various Canadian networks for “surveillance” purposes? The same Carney that in ANOTHER bill wants to block refugee hearings and “stay the course” on Canadas current illegal drug policy which clearly isn’t working.
That Carney?
The surveillance bills and alleged ‘strong borders’ shit that only exposes more and more Canadians to surveillance by foreign enemies is just utter shit. I nearly threw up when I learned about Bill C-2.
Did you know many of our politicians have dual US-Canada citizenship papers? Some days I have to wonder, what side are they really on?
I have no idea. How many?
So Canada becoming more independent is all bullshit? Business and Corp are the true powers that be. I think I want all my voting money back, if that’s a thing.
Mark Carney, having been a neoliberal banker all his life, turns out to be a neoliberal banker. At the last election the looming threat of the far right drove Canada back into the arms of the moneyed owners. It’s sad to see the country taking this lurch to the right. I hope the NDP can get its act together and be an unashamed left party. If it picks a dynamic, genuine leader who can talk directly about things that matter to people, it can make a comeback like the Green Party looks set to do in the UK, now that their new leader is explicitly calling it a socialist party.
Wasn’t there an American company that owned a natural gas company in BC that had actually raised prices on its gas for Canadians just for shits and giggles?
The same could happen here.
These natural resources should be nationalized. Period. They’re too critical to be left to the capitalist market when you have hostile nations buying them up.
That and our harbors and ports for ships. Nationalize it all. It’s too critical.
Treason. Long past time to repatriate essential services. A hostile authoritarian foreign government is buying assets unchecked.
Carney is a neo-liberal banker. Like democrats in the US, or labour in the UK, his economic ideology can only set the stage for fascism.
Canada owns hundreds of billions in US debt, and is currently buying more, hand over fist. Money the US could easily be using to buy your assets. Why are you paying this?
Me hopes it’s because the govt’s aiming to curb dependence on raw fuel in the long run and dive right in the EV sector with China and abroad so that he’s one step closer to the Emission Reduction plan… Maybe a fallacy but hoping doesn’t cost anything.
Thanks for listing even more US companies for me to boycott for life.
As far I read, the oil extraction companies working in Alberta are mostly American too.
Wtf, Canada?
Great… I’d been going to Esso instead of Petro Canada because of this; now where do I go?
Electric vehicle
Public transit. 😅
Shell?
Dutch Shell was the first chain I boycotted due to their practices in Africa.
CoOp, CanCo and… Costoco? Those seem to be relatively “Canadian” options.
