It's one thing when a new leader is appointed and doesn't yet have a seat. it's quite another when the leader just lost an election, and also lost his own seat.

I don't understand Carney's timing on this. Why didn't he wait until after a deal was signed before announcing that Canada would recognize a Palestine state?

The Liberals only went along with a very limited pharmacare program because they NDP could topple them. They vilified the NDP more than the Conservatives in the election campaign, and now that the NDP was decimated because progressive voters wanted to make sure Poilievre didn't get elected, the Liberals don't need to pretend they care about pharmacare any more.

The report does not "suggest", it shows.

This is of course complete rubbish, and treasonous rubbish at that.

[–] leastaction@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

So unfair. They all got fancy jackets and everything, why doesn't the report mention that.

Absolutely. This is a great example of why we need a thriving public broadcaster. The lesson from the United States right now is very clear: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/jun/06/trump-funding-cuts-npr-pbs-rural-america

It's not "a lot of Albertans". It's conservative political messaging, pushing the idea that Alberta pays into equalization transfers. Alberta doesn't pay a dime into equalization.

The Alberta oil economy is thriving

There's no such thing as an Alberta oil economy. Most of the shareholders in the Alberta oil companies are foreign. https://policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/august-2023/foreign-oil-companies/

We need to be investing in electric mass transit. Powered by renewables.

[–] leastaction@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 weeks ago

There's a lot of words missing in in the first statement. Shareholders in American auto manufacturers other than Tesla want to get rid of the electric vehicle mandate. Also note that elsewhere in the world internal combustion cars are losing ground to electric vehicles. Do we really want to attach ourselves to this sinking ship?
