Omitted from the #Carney govt endorsement of the new pipeline, we have to pay the oil companies to use the one tax $ just built. What a F-ing clown show. #cdnpoli #climatechange

David Davidson @davidsquared.bsky.social · 3h

is the Govt going to give oil companies at 10% discount to get them to use it, just like the TMX pipeline? Ensuring it will always run a loss? Can't make this shiz up.

notice how govts that have lead us to an unaffordability crisis, unregulated social media & AI, and a soon to be unliveable biosphere, are firmly branded as "mainstream". they have us in a death spiral #cdnoi

UK's new PM on the 40 yrs of privatization since Thatcher “We built the common good,” he said, but “the common wealth … created for the many was seen as an opportunity for the few.” That's what #carney is turbocharging in Canada #cdnpoli

David Davidson @davidsquared.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

I agree. The “middle ground” is a construct to ensure that status quo is never threatened. When the NDP tried to be LPClite they became irrelevant. Boundaries are drawn all the time, like there is no two sides to genocide nor planet killing projects.

The widespread privatization of public services & turning housing into an asset class across US, EU & UK has lead to rage & rise of populist far right. This is the stage Carney is setting by using our fear of Trump to get Canadians to accept previously rejected policies

Ah, but what problem are they trying to solve. Giving the perception they are doing something to fight climate change. Actually mitigate it? No, it’s impossible for carbon capture to scale.

David Davidson @davidsquared.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Canadian here, the Weston family price fixed cost of bread. Their pharmacies over charge Gov healthcare. They are proper villains. Oh wait, they will fit right in with England's ruling classes.

David Davidson @davidsquared.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

? The Liberal minister was never challenged on the future benefits. They are unprovable magical thinking. As is the claim about the current pipeline value. Minus the costs: investment, opportunity of alternatives, clean up, and environmental impacts of climate change. None of this is done.

David Davidson @davidsquared.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

then throw AB & BC NDP leaders who are pro pipeline out of the NDP.

David Davidson @davidsquared.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

i turned the channel long before that. I've been a staunch #cbc supporter since the 80's. I've tuned out. it's just a govt soap box now. Reform it or defund it.

David Davidson @davidsquared.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

lump in the #NDP. it's hard to get excited by @avilewis.ca when NDP in BC and AB are climate arsonists and this is excused as a "big tent".

to deal with over crowded prisons, UK is freeing prison population after 30% of their time, including domestic abusers. Decriminalize cannabis? That's unthinkable but abuse of women is not. #ukpoli

the #carney regimes benefits of another tar sands #pipeline sites xxB by 2060. By 2060 climate change impacts may have your remaining children hunting and gathering for their next meal. It's just such an evil load of sh*t as they benefit from our collapse #cdnpoli

Ronald Regan’s brain was Swiss cheese. The Pentagon made B&W movies on topics they needed his signature on. Others ran the show, just like now. It was an open secret and no one reported on it.

David Davidson @davidsquared.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Its like putting cigarette machines in high schools and then touting the increased tax revenues as a historic investment in child cancer research

011

David Davidson @davidsquared.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

cognitive dissonance. they will not admit they were wrong (stupid) so will believe in Carney more strongly. Slowly over time as harms increase they will quietly melt away. But too late, the climate damage and lost opportunity will have been done.

David Davidson @davidsquared.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

you're missing a big piece. Housing is now a speculative asset, flipped for profit, or held by larger funds. So an individual is competing against the rich for housing, you will always loose. Building more housing just creates more assets for them to buy, pricing is not overly suppressed.

David Davidson @davidsquared.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

The english cbc news provides a soap box for Canadian politicians with rarely any pushback. What. Would it treat Trump differently. It was not always this way, but all the legendary broadcasters and journalists were pushed out. I think Radio Quebec still has balls, no?

If I’m not mistaken a lot of the ussr nuclear arsenal was based in Ukraine and the expertise is there.

just another mirror being held up to US society charting its decline. Given the power of the tech overlords & corp capitalists that are benefiting, a strong correction feels like a low probability. While vastly out numbered, they control propaganda tools the Nazi's could only dream of.

David Davidson @davidsquared.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

in the UK, Tony Blair (Labour) continued Thatchers neoliberal policies of privatization. Their societal decline is stark and the far right has exploited this. I lived there, frequently return, and i'm shocked at the state of it. This is Canada's future under #carney. #cdnpoli

250k dead is the conservative estimate of dead, and all Iraqi oil wealth that funds over 90% of their govt flows through a single US bank. The US does not need troops to control Iraq, it holds all its sovereign wealth hostage

Historically the corporate class is fine with fascism. USA oil companies supplied Franco’s fascists with gas in Spain. German industrialists backed Hitler. The 1930s “business coup” in the USA was by the ultra wealthy. And they own the media.

David Davidson @davidsquared.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

You can watch the Norwegian sovereign wealth fund grow in real time on line. Corporate media have never mentioned this once nor calculated what our wealth would be had we done the same

David Davidson @davidsquared.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Canada’s far right populism is milder because the billionaire class was focused on larger prizes. Now #carney put up the 4sale sign & his conservative policies will make affordability & the climate worse, setting the stage for version of Trump #cdnpoli thewalrusca.substack.com/p/canadas-mo...

Canada’s Most Popular Conservative Is Mark Carney

His economic agenda has scrambled the political map. The question is how long it can last

David Davidson @davidsquared.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Until they can demonstrate that they can mobilize voting, the political class will continue to pander to the 55 and up who just want their assets and low taxes protected, with the added benefit that it’s what corporate capital will allow them to do.

David Davidson @davidsquared.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

In Spain (like here) private equity is buying up apartments. They used police to evict a 87yr old disabled woman who had lived there for 70yrs but could not pay their 230% rent increase. Tens of thousands protested. Happens here, but we shrug & go back to our double-double. #cdnpoli

David Davidson @davidsquared.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

No surprise that corporate media (& #cbc) intensely covers the rise of the far right, but ignores popular left successes. Hmm, it’s like corporate capitalism wants you to think fascism is inevitable so just give up. #cdnpoli www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Look again – there’s more to Germany’s election trends than far-right success | Cas Mudde

Defeatist narratives abound. Yet Germany’s latest elections suggest voter dissatisfaction is benefiting the left as well as the right, says the political scientist Cas Mudde

#CBC asks the #Carney govt about trading with Vietnam when they don't share our "values"... like ending the right to strike, accelerating climate change, supporting genocide, treatment of 1st Nations, etc and so on... #cdnpoli

David Davidson @davidsquared.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

so the #RCMP is extending its services of slow walking and killing off investigations of politicians to include tech execs. Everyone has a side hustle these days.

010

David Davidson @davidsquared.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

No wonder why the power brokers behind them co-opted the LPC. They installed toxic waste Con leadership to break the strong tribal bonds and drive membership towards Carney, a barely pink Tory.

Just wait until he starts asking it about a health problem and then the price of the medication he needs is suddenly 3x higher on amazon

David Davidson @davidsquared.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

it's called media training. i've had it. regardless of what is asked you ignore and deliver your spin. The CBC never pushes back. it's a soap box. pretty useless now.

the opportunistic election and the outright lies to justify is why i detest politicians. if i saw Eby in a car accident i would not call for help.

perhaps #ai will end wars? a well funded govt can use AI & gene editing tools to create a human species ending bio weapon. If their civilization is threatened, they end everyone's. #iran #cdnpoli #uspoli

They just happen to be under Canadas old growth forest in the “ring of fire”, our equivalent to the Amazon. But Fcuk the environment, your kids are doomed anyway so let’s just have a comfortable collapse.

David Davidson @davidsquared.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

from ape times we lived in communal societies, until industrial revolution's need for worker-bots that new myths were created, the "self made man", to divide and conquer us. You're unhappy and insecure by design. It doesn't have to be this way. #cdnpoli #uspoli #socialism #leftist #antifa

David Davidson @davidsquared.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

just read the full text of @mark-carney.bsky.social #EU speech and it's clear why he got a long standing ovation. Climate change guarantees long term instability & nations will respond with forming blocs. Canada desperately needs to be in one. I've lived 5 years in the EU. I'm all for it. #cdnpoli

David Davidson @davidsquared.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

i met the head of the CDN pension fund at a party. Proper far right creep. His vibe is would sell your kids for parts if he could. Fact it's CDN is immaterial, at any point he could have prioritized CDN innovation and did not.

David Davidson @davidsquared.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

As the Star is paywalled, her final statement sums it up perfectly “This isn't really about standing up to Trump. Carney is taking advantage of the fear and loathing Canadians feel toward Trump to justify remaking the country in a way that primarily benefits business interests, not the rest of us.”

000

David Davidson @davidsquared.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Exactly. Air travel is awful already. As it gets worse people will know who to blame. To reach the pinacle of banking Carney will have passed many filters to ensure he is a faithful servant of global capital. They’ve captured the private wealth, last frontier for them is public services.

David Davidson @davidsquared.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

it's really common in the UK now.Considering the cost of new phones you're basically waving many hundreds of easily converted $ around. It was inevitable this would come here. They grab the phone & drop it in a metal lined pouch so you can't Find It.

David Davidson @davidsquared.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Correct. Profits go back into improving services, not skimmed off as margin. Just look at the results of Mulrooneys big sell off of govt assets.
