Great! Let’s sell this off to multinationals ASAP so we can accelerate pillaging the land without consultation, outsource the jobs and ensure the fewest Canadians benefit from the windfall.

Ah! Someone who's familiar with Alberta oil & gas extraction.

…AND BC lumber, AND Ontario steel, AND maritime fish, AND everybodies’ water and minerals, etcetc

I call it “outsourcing profits”.

Nooo imma pretend I didn’t read this so Canada can stay as awesome as I thought it was a minute ago

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

BC lumber? That means BC's old growth forests, doesn't it?

So extract all the value and give it to rich ppl while leaving everyone else to clean up the mess left behind?

[–] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This isn’t gold. The value comes from the extraction part. That’s the really expensive and dirty part. It’s like salt in the ocean: insanely abundant but prohibitively expensive to extract.

[–] minorkeys@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

The value comes from the material extracted being sold for profit in some way.

That’s a perfect description of Carney’s MO.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You're showing your bias. That was Canada's position well before Carney was on the scene.

[–] CircaV@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

True about that being Canada’s MO.

[–] Auli@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Weird I don't remember Carney being PM for the last 50 plus years. Its Canadas MO doesn't matter who is in charge.

Why not criticize them all??
