@Tablesalt13 Accusing others of being “white supremacists”, is a signal that they’re better, more enlightened & tolerant. It’s old school classism, but now it’s based on notions of moral superiority.
@acoyne This is the abysmal level of Canadian political journalism, gossipy speculation about the Opposition, while ignoring real issues impacting Canadians.
Liberals & Democrats are more intertwined (in the PMO no less!) than any pseudo-MAGA alliance between Conservatives & Republicans.
@acoyne Don’t be ridiculous, you know that’s utter nonsense.
Do you seriously think Trump & the US want Russia on their doorstep?
Carney signs the surreptitious agreement with Russia, China etc, he’s the one playing with fire, giving the green light.
@JohnWKowal1 You’re a retired engineer who was a corporate VP. You’re far ahead of the “old stock” Canadians you’re disparaging. You & your family had serious advantages.
Obviously you’re smart & hardworking & deserve a great retirement, but you’ve no idea the obstacles others have faced.
@ProducerRobert@jenniferhedger Wrong.
Anti-Semitism has a long, horrific history, leading to the deaths of millions, there’s no comparison, it’s not a zero sum game.
Clearly hate crime is wrong.
@vesperdigital While they tear Canada down with their misguided policies, Liberals not only call criticism unpatriotic, but characterize themselves as enlightened, forward thinking global leaders.
@kinsellawarren It’s not prominent members of the Jewish community taking potshots at one another. It’s political condemnation of a Liberal MP who seems reluctant to accept blame for anti-Semitism to policies from within his party. Housefather should decide what’s more important, faith or party.
@nickcapra_gpc@gregbradyx I think more people will use the convenience of the island airport esp business people. The ability to get there & back-Toronto/Montreal on the same day is invaluable. Spending 6+ hrs on a train is impractical.
The dearth of stops means many won’t benefit, but will cost us all.
@jengerson I agree until “unimpressed by the Conservatives”.
Why, what do you expect?
Gratuitous dumping on Poilievre has become a habit, particularly by a certain class of urban Canadians.
I don’t why, other than to prop up Liberal ineptitude.
Do you really think Poilievre would be worse?
@nickcapra_gpc@gregbradyx What about the “local residents” who’ll be affected by the high-speed vanity train? What about farmers losing valuable farm land, what about the ecological impact, what about people who live along the proposed rail line? Who listens to those constituents?
@alex_house@KonstantinKisin You didn’t answer my question re decommissioning of renewables. Further, what percentage of solar panels are recycled & why are ruinous solar farms being developed on productive farmland? It’s one thing to put solar panels on parking garages or factory bldgs-but on farmland?
@alex_house@KonstantinKisin Renewables will cost a lot more than they save by the time they’re decommissioned. Wind turbines with huge concrete bases, un-recyclable blades, lubricants, not to mention roads, downed forests, dead wildlife. Same with solar over ruined productive farmland.
They’re a nightmare.
@Victori49569624@FoodProfessor Do we? Who is standing up to Trump on behalf of Canada?
Trump wields a lot of power & pressure & nations need to look after their own interests.
Talk about trade agreements is one thing, but talk is cheap with no guarantee of action.
Whatever we’re doing now isn’t working.
