The limits of U.S. President Donald Trump’s brand of extremely personalized, belligerent diplomacy have never been more apparent than with the negligible outcomes this week involving two of the world’s deadliest ongoing conflicts.
In Gaza, Israel’s military shattered the tenuous ceasefire on Tuesday by inflicting the largest number of deaths in a single day on Palestinians since the war started in October 2023.
Ah actions so negligible that people a being killed in record numbers.
CBC almost called Trump a bad guy but contorted themselves into saying he just erratic and bad at diplomacy.
I really wonder the reason why Conservatives are reported to such a different standard than anyone else.
The thing is as Carney brought up with Pierre’s security clearance CBC has pretty much just reported it in passing like he doesn’t have it, he doesn’t want it and that means he can’t access certain information, that’s that.
They’ve never gotten into this back and forth of what’s Pierre must be hiding. Like who in the major networks is grinding a axe with any of the Conservatives.
he would harmonize regulations across Canada
Extremely unlikable dude that’s has shown almost no ability to draft a bill in 2 decades will get a bunch of people who’ve never shown that much interest in working together to create a complex frame work of regulations.
On many other parts of the internet you’ll see a lot of people saying Carney copied Pierre’s policy.

As shown below Carney’s exemption is specific to first time home buyers where Pierre’s is not. Also doesn’t have whatever that rental thing is supposed to be.

Liberals most tangible housing policies in the past 9 years has been providing more purchasing power to “first time home buyers”. I think this would be there 4-5th thing to do so, in which case not exactly a significant departure what they’ve done in this area.

Remove GST on the building of any new homes with rental prices below market value. This will be funded using dollars from the failed Liberal Housing Accelerator fund. Within a year and a half of this law passing, list 15 percent of the federal government’s 37,000 buildings and all appropriate federal land to be turned into homes people can afford.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is pledging to eliminate the GST on new homes sold for under $1 million if his party wins the next federal election.

I’m kinda having a hard time figuring out what the play is.
If you’re Maga your king just told you Pierre is a idiot and to vote for Carney.
If you’re not Maga you see Trump saying something stupid(i.e. anytime he opens his mouth) you just turn off the video.
Not quite about just project 2025 but Nate Silver from what used to be 538 has Trump aggregated disapproval rating at 49.8% as of 03/20/25. That up from 40% in 2 months.

Smith repeated a number of policies she wants changed, including unfettered cross-boundary access to build pipeline
She’s asking for something that not only supersedes Federal and Provincial powers but also Judicial process. This is Trump declaring himself king of America level crap.
Alberta NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi said Smith’s threat of a national unity crisis is “childish” and “juvenile” and will fail to get any concessions from the federal government.
I don’t know why people keep trying underplay stuff like this from people Smith, Pierre and Trump. Smith is trying to threaten the sovereignty of our nation in times of crisis, there nothing “childish” and “juvenile” about it.
This conversation already came up during the pandemic. It’s super clear why countries should have some level of ability to produce essentials for its people.
It was also the time when conservatives started to doubled down on pretending to be libertarians and told their supporters the mega corps will take care of everything as long as we give them enough power.
As a Canadian what I want to see is them dealing with Trump and his supporters especially given Alaska’s political leanings. Not this symbolic crap.
Example:
For the Adblock users portion I’m merely saying if people didn’t want to see ads because it diminished their web browsing experience the user generated content could be handled the same.
Even going away from the misinformation discussion some people are just cunts and provide little value to begin with. So I’m happy to be done with them at least on the internet.
I don’t mind blocking them as something to do today but society really needs to figure out what they want to do with this stuff long term.
From a user level I believe having a Adblock type shared lists that block crappy accounts like the one circulates this stuff would be pretty nice.
Don’t think I saw it mentioned here but the lady seems to be ultra maple maga.
Ideally you’d just post a archive link in the future.
As things stand I’ll generally tolerate those people assuming they’re on the right side of things now(e.g. not voting for people with Trump ideology). Certainly seems like we need the support.
They should understand trust is a lot easier to lose than to earn.
Eby looking east, rather than south, for future power sales.
Danielle Smith is going to be in Florida at the end of the month to fundraise for a American right wing media company. Placing to much faith in Alberta seems like a bad idea.
Post Media article. Seems to be a rising amount of these here.
It is a topic exclusively reported from the article author and I don’t see anything questionable within the contents although I’m not familiar with the topic.
It was technically to protect more of our once close trade partner (America’s) auto industry.
It should be revisited.
Pretty much the same as always in Canadian politics. The previous party was bad we’ll just ride this one till they become intolerable then go back to the other one. Any other party would be unfathomable.
He says he was puzzled that the party had deemed him “unworthy” or “unqualified” to run for the party in a community he’d served provincially for three decades
His previous tenure is exactly why I don’t think this guy should ever have a government position of any kind again.
Completely insane and as usual what Conservatives have to say about Conservatives is more damning than anything.
