Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada Is Forging Ahead with Its Dangerous Surveillance Bill
1·3 months agoI can speak what I want and I don’t see any Trump like rhetoric from Carney on democracy. But a politician speaking and promoting anti vax which has been disproven, you don’t see that as an issue?
I have given pretty detailed examples and explanations, all I got were deflections. So at this point I’m done, have a nice day.
Edit also will add Trump WAS also a huge advocate for free speech, look where the US is at right now. If you don’t think PP as a far right (albeit less than Trump but for a Canadian) then you are a fool. And look at measles outbreak and tell me you still think being anti vax is fine.

1·3 months agoSorry that’s my mistake I shared the wrong link corrected (hate doing stuff on mobile), but my point being just because Carney has conservative policies does not validate PP. And I mean that speech in a vacuum and not looking at rhetoric before is fine. Trump had the EXACT stuff about affordability, tax cuts, etc and look where Trump is now, the whole “affordability is a hoax.” He flips on a dime very Trump like and essentially a right populist politician. Not saying Carney is better on affordability and all but with PPs historical comments he is very Trump like… You cannot ignore it and just act like it never happened.

Here’s another one of his pre Trump thoughts

1·3 months agoI mean that’s what I’m saying. I don’t regret voting Carney over PP and even NDP at the time cause frankly I did not like Jagmeet at all. But Avi is promising and well liberal support is definitely falling due to the more conservative policies. However I still do not consider Carney and PP the same type of conservatism since politics are always a spectrum.

How about his fight against “woke-ism”

I can go on but gas tax cuts or corporate cuts are again traditional CONSERVATIVE policies as I have said Carney is.
But Poilievre is far more right with things that no centered politician be it right or left will touch. There is a reason why you don’t hear these type of things anymore now that he’s not running and post trump cause that’s what got him into hot water. Now acting as if his old statements and policies are no longer valid and that any conservative policies are somehow unique to him. Again there is a reason there were a decent number of floor crossers. And like wise some more liberal MPs that left the liberal party as well.

2·3 months agoHis international ties have been generally good. PP is too trump lite to have done any of that. Carney is a traditional conservative which is why we saw floor crossers and many conservative policies. PP is too far right for most Canadians who generally speaking are centre right/left.

6·3 months agoLiberals are proud of it too, emailed my MP so now in their mailing list. Knowingly using the “for the kids” argument. I’m glad the CPC is not in power but man is Carney and his MPs are really brazzen.

17·5 months agoI don’t see how this holds, Europe already allows chinese vehicles so what are you talking about. We are not forming an alliance and he’s said that previously. It’s cars and open visas for more trade that benefits farmers in the west but you speak as if we formed a military alliance.

1·8 months agoIf saying it’s “lazy” really hurts you that much then sorry. My point is that, and your example is actually perfect, if I stencil or photoshop 1, 2 maybe 3 into a single art at the least I have put time and effort into it. There’s intent behind it and let’s say hypothetically I then went around saying hey, look at my effort and what I created initially you can see the inspiration assuming proper credit is given. If I then go and try to sell it or take full credit then EVERYONE knows it’s source and can scrutinize it since now money and/or reputation is involved.
Now go to AI all LLM bar none are unethical or at least dubious in nature when it comes to what I described due to its black box like behavior. Now tell me as a layman making the millionth Ghibli “art” it does two things. Normalize and dilute the original and then commodify and create extremely stringent rules on sourcing without AI. Basically like how deepfakes and the likes are, which is definitely another VERY inexcusable and utterly garbage side effect. And for high visibility stuff like Ghibli, at least you know what’s up but the silent and even more painful side is the damage done on the smaller scale artists as AI “artists” flood the market without a care to make a quick buck. Collages, Photoshop and the likes exist for those less artistically gifted (I can’t draw either btw) that still left a semblance of human effort but even that is now gone.
So no it doesn’t matter the materialistic nature (graphite vs digital), it is the human side of it, the intent. If you tell me that that’s not what I consider lazy or more kindly, opportunistic and only that then tell me what’s been good so far. For every 1 break through in health or astronomy for the greater good, there are 10x or more number of societal issues that crop up due to it as we continue to feel the pain with no solution in sight.
Assuming you actually read and understand what I say and not just not pick words that might feel too blunt to you, tell me about your art part of my comment.

4·8 months agoFrom the perspective of art, explain to me how it can start as good from the get go or a benefit that’s not just I can be lazy? It’s built on theft of countless artists let alone the overall waste it produces.
People are starting to realize and the polls show since PP’s numbers are lowering. As long as who ever takes over the liberals is good cause I’m afraid Trudeau has done too much damage.
Best thing that can be done is word of mouth to get as many knowing PP true nature.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Trump on Canada: "I spoke to Governor Trudeau ... they don't have military protection, and you take a look at what's going on out there ... people are in danger ... they need our protection."
4·2 years agoRight a reasonable human would understand that but we are talking about Trump here. Most of the stuff he’s doing WILL hurt the global economy but until it starts hurting his bottom line all’s fair game to him. Same way he’s testing the waters in his own country in respect with laws.
And while he is blocking FOI requests about him and his party.
