No central banker is trying to drive up unemployment. That runs counter to their objectives, which is to manage inflation and the health of our economy. They work for the Gov't and the Gov't needs tax revenue from people working... the gov't doesn't want to be paying out for people unemployed.

Canada is not clinging to fossil fuels. Alberta is. The rest of the country has been moving on for the last 20 years. The PM isn't going to kill an industry that is important to our economy, while we are actively in an economic trade war with the USA.

With reports coming out suggesting Trump was stopped from using a nuclear bomb... The world needs to seriously consider how they will hold him accountable next time he tries to play chicken with Mutually Assured Destruction... because he's too dumb and entitled to understand what this means.

What issue do you have with not having kids on social media? In my experience predators generally seem to be the people most upset about kids of negligent becoming protected by gov't.

The 34x convicted felon, doesn't like the Pope, because he thinks the Pope is okay with crime... How does anyone take this seriously?

Anyone denying it's a message to the party leader is themselves undermining democracy. They are refusing to see the message the people are sending.

Because People don't trust the conservatives to deliver on cost of living issues. When you can't even acknowledge the real cause, you have no issue of fixing the problem. It isn't taxes, it's unstable markets (which is being caused by global conservatives war campaigns)

He also thought it was a good idea to go on JRE when he's polling poorly with Women and to go hang out with American oil tycoons when people think he's a risk to sell us out to the Americans... 🤷🏻‍♀️ The guy is a hopeless ideologue.

We are not part of this war. Carney didn't support the war. Carney stated he supported efforts to stop Iran from getting Nuclear bombs. This war isn't about that. Learn to read what diplomats are actually saying.

You realise Stalin was one of Canada's allies against Hitler right? Do you know what Stalin did? We didn't say anything about it at the time... because we needed Russia to beat Hitler. Sometimes there are survival mechanisms you have to employ on the diplomatic global stage.

You have unrealistic expectations of political power. More smaller parties that refuse to compromise just leads to more division and nothing getting done. We see this in PR countries spending millions for elections every 2 years, it often leads to more authoritarian leaning people taking power.

The Liberals under Trudeau lifted the vast majority of the water advisories. Yes, it took longer than promised with the pandemic hitting mid stream, and also unforeseen difficult logistical issues that came up in some areas. If you expect perfection, you will forever be aggrieved.

All Politics does creates team mentality, FPTP requires big tent politics which is less of an echo chamber because for your party to win you need enough broad appeal. Other systems create more divided camps that don't want to lose their base appealing to the broader public

The only way to punish them is to not listen to them, and when you need every vote to hold gov't as a minority or slim majority gov't it's not wise to not listen to any MP. She will hold a certain level of sway, and Liberals have been interested in Indigenous issues and reconciliation

Mothers Against Drunk Drivers is a lobby group... I'd suggest they are good Lobbyists 🤷🏻‍♀️ But yeah generally Lobbying is most often for wealthy interests and I think should be limited.

The USA lifted their sanctions on Russia, to help manage their illegal war in Iran, do you think that's a better?

We got rid of natural gas as a heat source, and bought an EV last year. Very glad we did, as this unfolds. Hoping to buy solar panels soon.

Why was there no plan to get Americans out? Because this crew in charge don't care about Americans. They are completely incompetent, reckless, thoughtless, and self centered. They don't care who dies. They will use American deaths to justify their force, after the fact. How do people not see this?

I have a feeling Israel and America won't be the ones deciding when this ends. I'm pretty sure the whole region is sick of both of them just coming in and pulling this crap. We had just gotten past terror attacks after the 20 year war in Afghanistan stopped. I imagine there will be a repeat coming

She is a classy lady. I hope she can join him in the Senate when Ted Cruz comes up for re-election... That would be amazing to see.

And people would trash him for that choice as well. He had to speak, because it had to be said. He just has to be careful how he says it.

Of course it's all politics. The UN is not a failure... just people think it is supposed to be more idealistic than realistic. It is designed to keep countries talking and give world powers a diplomatic avenue to resolve issues with reduced risk of war. You will never get the idealistic dream.

He has to speak diplomatically. You don't want our PM Inflaming tensions at this time with a madman in the White House. We need to de-escalate, and give the USA a chance to deal with their madman.
