simon--55.bsky.social @simon--55.bsky.social · 07/10/2026He might consider providing effective opposition first. 000
simon--55.bsky.social @simon--55.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Ok, so you live in a dreamworld. If the the governements in the west are at all competent in running supply chains and doing what business does at this time, then god help us, we will starve. Thanks for your time. 000
simon--55.bsky.social @simon--55.bsky.social · 06/10/2026That is really not true at all. The only question is whose hierarchy is in place. In the centre there is more tolerance than the far left or right. I agree with a lot of the posts you have made. Unregulated capitalism is bad news but just for example, what about small business people? 100
simon--55.bsky.social @simon--55.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Removed and replaced by another hierarchy. Human nature, left or right. 100
simon--55.bsky.social @simon--55.bsky.social · 06/10/2026You have it backwards, the people would not get the power in the first place. I am saying that all extremes will have a vanguard of believers who form the ruling class because of the purity and adherence to their thesis. If you are a bit more central, the tent will be closed to you. 100
simon--55.bsky.social @simon--55.bsky.social · 06/10/2026There is nothing authoritarian about your claim. I just don't agree that the far left is any more democratic than the far right. 100
simon--55.bsky.social @simon--55.bsky.social · 06/10/2026In theory, but in practice the further you go the more authoritarian it gets, both ways. 100
simon--55.bsky.social @simon--55.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Perpective. Upbringing. Education. Everyone sees things differently. Both left and right rush to authoritarianism. 100
simon--55.bsky.social @simon--55.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Terrible post. There is archaeology all over the area that counters your point. 000
simon--55.bsky.social @simon--55.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Neither! And i don't think that 20 years ago that would have happened. Besides he looks trumpy... 120
simon--55.bsky.social @simon--55.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Her contract probably does not allow that lol. 020
simon--55.bsky.social @simon--55.bsky.social · 01/10/2026You may be attacked by dogs....just sayin'... 100
simon--55.bsky.social @simon--55.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Described as closest allies at one time. Opinions hey? I will stick wth kinda, sorta mid Atlantic. Good banter... 100
simon--55.bsky.social @simon--55.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Arguable, as historically the UK has been very aligned with the US. (Politically, not the people so much) 100
simon--55.bsky.social @simon--55.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Wandering back and forth like the sham wow guy. 000
simon--55.bsky.social @simon--55.bsky.social · 01/10/2026C'mon, he is talking socially, economically, not physically. 200
simon--55.bsky.social @simon--55.bsky.social · 29/09/2026If it was electrified, does that count as a spice? 000
simon--55.bsky.social @simon--55.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Racism is a scourge on civilization. When do we stop being territorial chimps? 000
simon--55.bsky.social @simon--55.bsky.social · 27/09/2026But can we at least start to process our own minerals? Manufacturing makes way more jobs. 010
simon--55.bsky.social @simon--55.bsky.social · 27/09/2026The past ain't the future, let's see if if the next step is manufacturing/processing. 000
simon--55.bsky.social @simon--55.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Perhaps Canada can begin the process its own minerals instead of just exporting them? Our aerospace industry has to import most of its Aluminum and Stainless steel sheet. Build a rolling mill! 051
simon--55.bsky.social @simon--55.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Being a 3 when everyone else is a 1 is nothing to write home about. , notwithstanding the boneheads on the other side. All of you need to do better. 100
simon--55.bsky.social @simon--55.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Starbucks trades at over 50 times p/e so a $1 raise for 400k staff would lose value of $20mm of share value. Its not income, its wealth being protected. Much harder to deal with, as this thinking is mestasticized in the wealthy mindset. This is not always the case but not far off. 000
simon--55.bsky.social @simon--55.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Lets say he made 5000 times and salary was $18/hr. If you divide the annual result by nearly 400,000 workers, you get a measly $450 raise if the boss gets nothing. The reason that employees of publically traded companies get shafted is the multiple of earnings issue. 100
simon--55.bsky.social @simon--55.bsky.social · 25/09/2026A terrible loss...Hitchens was an intellectual force and is missed in todays performative environment. 000
simon--55.bsky.social @simon--55.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Bollocks. You say you think for the proletariat yet reject their judgement. 000
simon--55.bsky.social @simon--55.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I hope you mean Israelis. The gov"t of American Jews is in America. 100
simon--55.bsky.social @simon--55.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Carney is addressing our sovereignty and economics, which rank highest for him. Doing nothing like Trudeau does not pay for healthcare or roads or security. 010
simon--55.bsky.social @simon--55.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Not buying that. Capitalism with a social safety net and political donation rules and fair taxation rates would work. We have oligopolies not capitalism, btw. 000
simon--55.bsky.social @simon--55.bsky.social · 23/09/2026This brings up the joke.. Why don't roosters wear underwear?? 'Cos their pecker's on their face! 020
simon--55.bsky.social @simon--55.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Sounds like Belarus might have to buy it from Canada in order to supply the US. :) 051
simon--55.bsky.social @simon--55.bsky.social · 20/09/2026If tax revenues increase, and royalties increase, then more $ go into prov/fed coffers, which is good for infrastructure and healthcare. The next step would be jobs in manufacturing IMO. It evolves... 000
simon--55.bsky.social @simon--55.bsky.social · 19/09/2026We will see. There is more going on than just resources, but for sure, jobs are what is needed. I want to see Aluminum rolling mills and basic steel mills,so that processing our resources is done here. 000
simon--55.bsky.social @simon--55.bsky.social · 19/09/2026LOL. 20 years of doing nothing, now comes the complaining. From the left, everything looks right. From the right, it all looks left. From the centre, it looks like 70% approval...just sayin'.. 000
simon--55.bsky.social @simon--55.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I agree with that. While still low, at least more business will produce more taxes and royalties. I do wonder how many jobs come from resource extraction and pipelines. We need manufacturing, hopefully that comes later. 100
