The government should be protecting our public airports, not selling them off for parts. History is littered with examples of the failures of privatization. It drives up costs for the public, quality suffers, and workers always end up paying the price.

There are benefits, living and working across the EU visa free, better consumer protections, a defensive pact that doesn’t involve the United States etc. but I agree there are also drawbacks. I think the support to join would be a lot lower if people understood what joining actually requires.

What makes you think the EU would have Canada lose its crown corporations? EU countries have plenty of state run enterprises. Though I agree it’s unlikely we would be able to join. Geography + Canadians don’t understand how many things we would have to defer to the EU gov on. (I’d still want in tho)

But the strategy of saying you’d restrict Israel’s aggression but never doing so made both sides hate them. Despite this, if I were American I would’ve voted for Harris, to be clear. Being uninspiring and fence sitting obviously doesn’t work evidenced by 2024. Gotta inspire people to vote for you.

Does it matter? Or should we care more about what’s right and good for the world. Even from a strategy standpoint: the republicans were saying they’d back up Israel no matter what whereas the dems said they’d limit them and yet still allowed the genocide. That’s the worst of both strategies.

Did Biden do that or did people turn out in droves to vote out Trump for his mishandling of COVID etc. Biden floundered hard in the polls as president and then had to drop out where Biden’s VP lost the popular vote to Trump, a worse outcome than even Hillary Clinton posted, who is famously hated.

Pete is lame, he’s Biden 2.0. At best he gets one term, accomplishes nothing, continues the genocide against Palestinians and then gets beat by the next republican fascist in line. Would love to be wrong but i think it’s pretty obvious that he, Biden, Kamala, and newsom are cut from the same cloth

The fuck is this. Our two largest parties are 1) actively cheering illegal kidnapping of a president and 2) acting like a kicked dog in the face of US aggression. It’s pathetic cowardice, not leadership. And this cowardice puts our country at risk. We need actual options in the next election.

Why? It makes us wealthier, gives better consumer protections, the ability for our citizens to live and work in so many great nations. Canada would give the EU another G7 economy in its union while Canada receives these benefits as well as military protection from expansionist America.
