I agree, I was just being polite. Harper is the worst.

Carney is a breath of fresh air in Federal politics, didn’t vote for them, but I approve of him as Prime Minister.
Harper made Canada a laughing stock internationally, Trudeau saved our image only to prove too vapid and gain us a rep for big talk and no action.
PP loves to talk about the “lost Liberal decade” but frankly I see 20 wasted under PM’s that were little more than heavily polished caricatures of people; more interested covering up their mistakes than fixing real problems.
Carney seems like a real person, and one with relevant qualifications, who acts like an adult and wants to fix problems.
Or this is an “Obama” moment for Canada, a last impotent chance for change before the flood of misinformation fractures our institutions irrevocably 🤷
DriftingLynx@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Danielle Smith promises Alberta separation referendum if signatures warrant2·5 days agoIn the case of a referendum I’d be far more worried about the well funded right-wing disinformation apparatus that will kick it’s grift into high gear.
Brexit was heavily influenced by the same machinery, except it’s grown more sophisticated since that time.

Without the griftee’s the grifters couldn’t do what they do, and that’s a wrap of US history 🤷

They’ll call it the Trans Canada Potatube. And it’ll only cost $35 billion and never recoup it’s costs.

This feels very authoritarian, like hunrting randomly through trunks for people trying to escape…
Or there was a criminal afair they were trying to capture 🤷
DriftingLynx@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Carney's decision to let Poilievre run immediately for a seat in Alberta is good strategy and good politics3·7 days agoYou in Carleton, saved us from his 🦬💩. Even if it doesn’t last long, I appreciate it greatly.
DriftingLynx@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Carney's decision to let Poilievre run immediately for a seat in Alberta is good strategy and good politics9·7 days agoYup, the Conservatives love to glorify local representation while being the party of the iron whip; ensuring the local “representation” is basically non-existant.
We need electoral reform, and a neutering of the party system 🫤
DriftingLynx@lemmy.cato Fediverse@lemmy.world•Chances for the fediverse? Elon Musk takes hit as Europeans ditch X in drovesEnglish1·10 days agoI think a sad part of this is due to people wanting that vapid dopamagic response the algorithm provides.
Is it bad for us? Yes.
But addicts are going to addict 🫤
I know lots of people who made a fediverse account easy enough, but just end up back on the algorithm platforms as there’s no effort required for discovery.
Lol, self-owned 🤣
