Blame the last 10 years of global issues on the previous government. Astounding how many are unaware of what's going on elsewhere..... and get sucked in by TV commercials on sports networks.
"Justin" did not cause the pandemic, the war in Ukraine, the climate change caused droughts, fires, floods, storms and they're costs in food and rebuilding, the flood of refugees from countries we, the west, have put into dictatorships (Syria 1947, Iran 1952, 1948, and on and on.
Let's blame the carbon tax (proven not to impact inflation or cost most low or mid income people anything.
The parallel's between PP's and Trump's campaigns is striking.
Don't disagree. And Canadians' desires for easy scapegoats and simple silver bullet answers isn't much different from American fantasies either. Making America Great Agin...ushering in a new golden age...while funding a genocide and talking about Palestinian land as if it's prime real estate doesn't seem to bother the majority to the south of us..........or most Canadians either.
Not a good look or a promising road to a sustainable future...and I fear the world sees us better than we do ourselves. Spending more on our military and less on our children and senior citizens isn't a solution either......though I'm sure the usual suspects will benefit from it.
Agree, though given the current world situation I think we should increase our military spending as well as our education, healthcare, and housing spending.
Paying for it is something that should be done with more progressive taxation for people (such as me) who can afford it. More money needs to be left in the hands of the lower and middle income groups who put more of it back into the economy.
Trickle Down economics (Reagan and our own Conservtive politicians) has been proven (London School of Economics studies) to slow the economy.
Yes again. Though on the military spending I have a lot of reservation...I doubt very much if we're going to survive the climate disasters and resource wars if we continue down the path we're on. The military is the biggest emitter of greenhouse gases...and I'm pretty sure you know that.
Until we come up with renewable bombs....and climate friendly ways of killing people.....I think we should call a moratorium on the pleasures of war....and go all in for peace and social forums, raves and collective partying.
Some of your readers may not be aware that since 2018 Harper has been the Chairman of the IDU, a global network/think tank that shares info & strategies for getting right-wing parties elected to government (US GOP, UK Tories and Canada's CPC are among the members).
Here's a 2024 Press Progress piece on the mysterious removal of Modi from their website (including some archived links to pages no longer on the site):
The MSM. and most of us, have been asleep at the wheel........who was it dcided these goons could hide in plain site and plan the death of inclusive democracies from the shadows??
And what do we do about them now that their coming back into view, larger than ever?? Not to mention, how do we save our working class men and boys from consenting to be their gestapo??
"Time will make the ground only more fertile for conservative reaction". That's what I fear as well...that we may be going down the same road as America, but just an election cycle later.
PP may lose, but his agenda has scrapped a tax that wasn't one for the majority, moved the Liberal party to the right, as well as toward a possible majority.......and threatens to decimate third parties that serve to keep us less polarized and more protected than the people in that capitalist/fascist gulag to the south of us.
We need new ideas and new policies. Tinkering around the edges of a dying neoliberal order only will delay the inevitable.
Classic populist crap.

Pretty depressing, over all.
