    So that’s three taxes cut and a promise to increase the share of the national budget spent on the military to 30~%. One of the tax cuts and the military spending target being direct capitulations to Trump. Great start. What’s next, we end national health care and open the Canadian market to US health insurance companies?

    It’s up to us, since it seems more and more every day that Carney really can’t be trusted. Either outright avoid US online services or do NO financial transactions and block all ads.

    *edit - Also, I wonder how long it will take Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” to properly bankrupt the US? I hope the US people can do something about him for their own sake, and ours.

      This is exactly what people voted for. People hate trump so much that they let their emotions cast their votes, Conservatives aren’t much better but we would’ve likely seen a different change of approach on how things are ran.

      NDP was suppose to be the in-between of Liberal and Conservative however, they’re far more Liberal than Conservative so it makes sense that their party isn’t crazy popular.

        You’re right. Poilievre would’ve agreed to Trump’s demands immediately to make them all richer and fuck the rest of us. Carney isn’t good, but the Cons would’ve been much worse. Don’t pull the same old “but Kamala” bullshit argument in here.

        What? How is the centre left party supposed to be in between the centre right party and the right wing party?

        suppose

        Supposed.

        let their emotions cast their votes[.] Conservatives aren’t much better but we would’ve likely seen a different change of approach on how things are [run].

        No. We would have seen the cons capitulate completely and invite our new king. What part of everything the cons have done over 40nyears gives a different impression?

        NDP

        Had no chance of winning even a minority. And they won’t, as long as we need to focus on not getting conservatives driving our country into the dirt like they’ve done to our cousins in America.

        It’s so tedious to repeat this.

    I have turned off a lot of US services and plan to have more turned off this week, I have been slowly cutting things as I come across them, my elbows are up it is to bad Carney has put his elbows down.

    I was looking at my ISPs email stuff, for some reason? I found out they have moved to an exchange service, so a Microsoft protocol. I have sense started moving all of my emails off of there to (they are trying to stop offering email so it is nothing off their back).

        Protonmail, Tuta, NorthMail for email. Lemmy obviously (instead of Reddit), Gander for social media. Next is google, Microsoft, azure, SharePoint. I already don’t have Amazon or Netflix. I use wirenine for webhosting and the servers are in Montreal.

      Yep and Carney just ended the honeymoon. He’s gonna soon feel the wrath of Canadians who took a chance on his bougie “I’ve handled crisis before” ass.

        Time to organize the protests. I’ve been considering a long term visit to Ottawa. Who is a protest leader there so I can get in the loop?

            The clownvoy unfortunately was so effective in disruption it caused reasonable Canadians to question actual protest pretty hard. That it was organized by complete idiots for fucked up reasons is terrible. As protesters however we certainly could learn from their actions.

                How American of you. If you can’t learn, you can’t win.

                I was a union member my entire working life and a steward many times. Various unions for different things. There were some unions I wouldn’t protest for. Many of them are big national unions. They’re just as bad as the government. I still learned shit from them. Like what not to do.
