Everyday it seems like Carney is a cooperate stooge, when will he change party affiliations?
I’m not sure if one would want “healthcare” or “education” to be allocated within a spy agency’s budget.
Why am I seeing news (or social media posts) trying to slant against Carney recently? Considering the next door neighbour, I think it’s been going better than expected so far
People are not content with neoliberal policies with a thick coat of pinkwashing.
Of course the majority is happy that we didn’t elect our own culture warriors and christian nationalists. It’s better than the shitshow down south. But that’s only if you’re already rich and stable.
If you’re poor or don’t have support and backing of a stable family, you’re royally fkd. Cost of living is insane and the Carney liberals are selling off assets for cheap and privatizing everything they can. While stripping workers’ rights and investing more into surveillance.
Our corporate-liberals are paving the way for our right-wing populist clowns.
What have they been selling and privatising?
Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary and Montreal airports are great examples in their crosshairs.
But they won’t sell the land, so opposition can’t technically call it privatization. They just lease it for decades and decades where private corporation decides everything and collects all the revenues.
The original title is “Ottawa makes $6B investment in Canada’s spy agency over next decade” and the entire article is about the spy agency and nothing else.
No money for healthcare or education
The government has budgeted $57.4 billion this year for health care.
What? Someone trying to slander Carney’s government and lying to do so? On Lemmy? Colour me shocked!
Even if you accept the premise that they’re throwing a lot of money at CSIS, they’re the ones who counter foreign influence campaigns like Alberta Independence. Funding CSIS is directly responding to American interference threats. Which is inarguably good.
I agree, but let’s not forget to add Russia and China to the US. They are all three an imminent threat.
Oh absolutely they are. Frankly, so is India after that assassination debacle.
I’m pandering to the audience.
In Canada most understand what no money for healthcare means. Our system is underfunded and in pretty dire state in most places. It’s a well known crisis that’s universally experienced. No money for healthcare is understood as no money for improving the status quo.
huh, i wonder what geopolitical events have occurred in canada’s proximity to justify increased spending on espionage
Those vikings invaded and took half of Hans Island. Who knows what they’re aiming for next!
You could probably get money for healthcare or education by funding the CRA sufficiently to crackdown on the tax negligent uber-wealthy.
No money for provincial responsibilities?
This is why neoliberalism always threatens to devolve into fascism.

Given the current world situation, stopping Russia from screwing with internal politics even further sounds like a good thing.
