Eh … now you don’t know what to think huh? 🤔🤪😆
Hey, fuck you Canada!
I’m a US citizen, and I’ve seen a lot of canadians complain about the US. But its my turn now. You are helping enable fascism. So fuck you.
That is all.
Agreed. I’m pretty embarassed to be Canadian at the moment.
Even a working clock is wrong twice a day.

Okay Canadian assembly techs: you have an opportunity to do something extremely funny
Dear Canada,
Please don’t.

Our PM is a feckless neoliberal stooge…Banker. He’s basically a northern Democrat…or a bit to the right.
He doesn’t seem feckless to me.
You kidding?
Buddy was elected to “save” us from Polieve’s conservatism and MAGA…and has been the single most destructive force to the fabric of Canada in modern history. He’s cutting deeper than any conservative could ever hope to, as is he privatizing and outsourcing profits.
Just because our (small L) liberals went back to sleep after they think they averted a disaster doesn’t mean it’s not happening.
The worst part is conservatives have no idea how good they have it and they’re treating him like he’s Chairman Mao. It’s Paul Martin all over again.
and has been the single most destructive force to the fabric of Canada in modern history. He’s cutting deeper than any conservative could ever hope to, as is he privatizing and outsourcing profits.
Lol no. Have you actually been following the policy, and what the Conservatives are suggesting instead?
He’s definitely moved things to the center (it was a change election, PP would have won otherwise), but on the US file he’s doing about as well as anyone could hope for, and hasn’t actually cut much - literally just civil servants. All the social programs are fine. Meanwhile PP’s life’s mission is to kill the CBC.
Most of the carbon tax is still there. There’s a new housing program. He just tricked Alberta into raising it’s carbon tax. And it goes on.
“Hasn’t cut much?” He’s cut everything. Of course the conservatives have been forced to promise deeper cuts than the Liberals because the Liberals occupied all their policy positions.
No, cancelling taxes, cutting government across the board, putting the private sector in charge of housing and privatizing pipelines isn’t “moving to the centre”.
Guessing you’re a Liberal…because you’re repeating their PR.
Literally, it’s just public servants. Read the damn budget - or a summary of the damn budget - if you actually care about the truth.
I could point out the gaps in the plan there are, to prove I’m not shilling, but I’m guessing you’d just see that grace as weakness. I have better things to do than that kind of exchange.
I’m not sure what you mean by “just public servants”. I mean…that’s not true…but, yes, austerity governments tend to salivate when they look at salaries as a line-item, and cut labour…because it’s the biggest and bluntest instrument you can show cuts with. But less people means less services - as well as less citizens making a decent wage means a lower bar for the industry. Just take housing…promises promises on units…but actual cuts to the ministry of housing…and his plan, by all appearance, is to infuse the private sector with tax dollars, offload services to the private sector, and provide bubble protection to its investors: when these government jobs are transferred to the private sector, they will come with wage reductions, reduced labour protections, much less transparency and accountability, less customer service, and more AI & automation. With additional cuts to veterans affairs and the CRA (all seeing the same effect as staff cuts do Canadian labour health)…this budget would be indistinguishable from a conservative budget…if it weren’t for the deep 10-15% cuts (I predict those will expand as they get drunk on how it makes their budgets look), which sets it “above” (below!) conservative budgets.
When I said you were speaking like a liberal it was in response to “tricking” Alberta into increasing the carbon tax. The only time I’ve seen the lead buried that deeply is in LPC press material and from its surrogates. Because, as we’ve seen in conservative projects, the perversely named “Build Canada Act” is an “abundance” act that removes environmental/indigenous consultation and regional sovereignty….all while privatizing the project. Yes, there’s lip service and no concrete plan to share royalties with the indigenous lands they pillage - an excellent way to drive a wedge between the IA councils and hereditary councils. There’s always been a form of taxation on tar sands exports…so describing the deal that they worked out (what amounts to an updated royalties deal - it’s dubious the math will math into an increase for Canada) as “tricking” Alberta is just incorrect. Canada is paying for a gift to Alberta and the private sector, for very little return…is the accurate headline.
Trudeau, for as much of a neoliberal as he was, traded boutique service expansions off with his private-public partnerships. Trudeau wanted to increase the capital gains tax and nationalize a pipeline. Trudeau had pet projects like equity and safe drinking water. Trudeau was still nudging Canada right, at large - but at least it wasn’t a disaster. Describing Carney as moving Canada toward the centre is absurd, considering what he’s actually doing. All of Trudeaus trade-offs and pet projects are gone…and it’s all austerity and cynicism now. If these are our supposed liberals…wait til we see how the party in waiting has to reposition themselves to the right of them: yea, what Pollievre is currently virtue signalling to his Rebel News subscribers is absolutely terrifying…but it’s only possible because Carney made many of his previous election promises come true.
Literally, it’s just public servants.
Oh I see… fuck them then, amiright?
but on the US file he’s doing about as well as anyone could hope for, and hasn’t actually cut much
Ok bud you are dreaming…
He has given trump everything the idiot king wanted (short of the 51st State) and received nothing in return… and yes, he has cut the public service and services in general, deeper than Harper did and back then that was a disaster we have not fully recovered from
I’m fairly certain Trump has asked for many crazy things and not gotten them, because he’s Trump. It’s true there’s been no payoff, but PP couldn’t have done better.
deeper than Harper did
Interesting. That might be true, given the circumstances right now, and the fact Carney didn’t touch anything else.
Dear Canada,
Add an exhaust port failure point
Thank you
Into the driver’s cabin.
When I say I want zero trade with the US it includes ICE.
Though if these were subject to a safety recall I wouldn’t complain.
What, Elon’s cyber trucks weren’t good enough for them?
Cybertruk bulletproof stainless steel was proving to have intermittent swiss cheese events. The unpredictability knocked them down on the procurement scores.
Fuck ICE
I hope Canada takes the money and tells ICE to fuck off. Or even better, deliver 20 Cozy Coupes painted the LGTBQ+ flag colors
ICE going to pay tarrifs for steel and alum, then tarrif again for vehicles.
Except it’s not ICE, it’s taxpayers. And because enough of them are raging racist assholes he now live in a racist state . Fuck fascists
Eh … now you don’t know what to think huh?
What does this mean?
It’s an old Norm Macdonald punchline from his time at SNL. Op’s joking that buying Canadian is good but ICE buying them is bad
Exactly! I thought of Norm when I wrote it, but forgot about it when I read this question. LOL What an amazing joke that was. 3 punchlines … “you never seen anything like it” LOL.
A thin silver lining is that Canada’s siphoning some of the hyperinflated budget that is meant for a whole fascist concentration camp regime. Now if only we could get the horn to play “chinga la migra” occasionally when pressed…
chinga la migra
The song in question. Fuck ICE indeed.
there’s more than one song named that
Today I learned. Do you have links to the others?
well it’s a very old and widely used slogan, i’m sure there’s dozens (but maybe only one hit the charts).
this is the first song i thought of, from 2010: https://www.discogs.com/release/26307488-Dirty-Surgeon-Insurgency-Indecipherable-Amount-of-Tentacles
t-shirt examples:
it’s cool there’s a new song for sure, but it didn’t start there.
Oh no, how unexpected. Who would think that the interests of capital and imperialism would take precedent over the wellbeing of the people in Canada?
How does this affect the wellbeing of people in Canada (except to provide them with jobs?)
I mean, if it’s jobs alone that is a consequence of this deal, I can guarantee you that those jobs are still maintained at exploitational wages. Since it is silly to only think about that, there is also the reality that Canada is subordinated to the US already and its fascist regime has made real threats of violence to Canada. On top of that, Canadians have been detained without cause by this same regime which has taken up disappearing dissidents as an official practice. ICE patrols the 100-mile border zone that Canadians cross every day for work and kinship.
Canon fodder indeed, chuds love having dudes like you around to fight for them.
I’m happy for Canadians to be even more dissuaded from going to the U.S.
This is the Canadian nationalist shit you see when someone has been protected their whole life. You know Americans know more about fighting the US than Canadians do, right? Borders are also, y’know, imaginary, and people formed connections across borders for generations despite you feeling yucky about the US now. How 'bout you offer to pay for the salaries of every Canadian who crosses the border for work or relocation costs for any families who live across border regions?
Nah, that was their choice to work in a foreign country, which only helps them and not their fellow country folk.
Just like the ones that went to work stateside when the US dollar was high in late 90s and early 2000s. Then when the dollar went down to par they all cried, “Oh poor me I’m losing my income and having to commute a lot and use too much gas”
There are consequences to actions.
Genuinely, go fuck yourself. Like you know a fucking thing about helping your ‘country folk’ when you’d literally let them get arrested for living in a place where cross-border work is normal. I’d rather be in a place where workers have solidarity with each other than where there’s some pompous and hollow notion of nationality.
Chud.
You don’t seem to be making much sense.
So if you’re so cozy with the U.S., why care about selling them some equipment?
Breaks your brain to think of the state seperately from people eh? Fuckin typical nationalist. Go lick boots elsewhere dude.
People in the U.S. are responsible for their government. They should be shutting the country down with strikes and riots until the fascist morons in charge are hanging by their own entrails.
Sounds like the good people of Brampton should at the very least stage some protests.
That would be the hard part about working in anything geopolitically relevant. Your government will have to do realpolitik, and you can’t reasonably impose your own preferences over top of that and stay relevant, so you end up welding together anti-protester bumpers for the Saudis, or brown guy cages for the Americans. Hopefully all the sales to Ukraine make up for it.
It’s a really small company. They can’t produce that many in 30 days unless they have a few sitting around already.
Canada should block the purchase on human rights grounds, regardless.
I was hoping workers would sabotage them.
Doesn’t have to be workers
👍
We’re not going to, the US has our economic balls in a vice.
There’s more chance of a court ruling it unlawful, but that takes time.
A day and half for 3-4 guys to fit an entire vehicle is nothing.
Yeah, hire twice as many people and you can do 7-8 people outfitting an entire vehicle in two days
