There's some good and some bad imo.
I'm indifferent to slightly tightening gun regulations,
I think more money for cyber crimes is a good idea and more money for equipment to secure the border is necessary as the us unravels. More early retirement isn't something I will complain about and will win a lot of votes amoung those effected. I think the organized car theft is something worthwhile to address.
I like criminalizing unconsenual deepfake porn and becoming stricter on revenge porn.
Increasing funding to Building Safer Communities Fund sounds nice but might just be lip service.
I don't like making bail more difficult, but con leaning voters will love it. I don't like most of the tougher sentencing but it is a more reasonable version of pp's 3 strikes horribleness that undercuts him while in practise not changing things that much.
I'm unsure about the deepfake porn thing. Its gotten so easy now that kids will be doing it because kids are stupid still, are we going to jail kids?
I see much more result in prevention by teaching kids responsible use of internet and computers which is a huge problem.
Yeah, there's some good, some bad, but I think most of all it's calibrated to win the election. Policy planks don't matter if they don't get elected. One has to consider the material conditions of the moment and take them into account.
Better than mandatory minimum sentencing which Poilievre is proposing...
Uuugghhh, is that shit in the table again? It really is a conservative cookbook, just full of rules to fuck over the plebs
I'm all for strengthening the border against the American guns, drugs and crime coming into Canada. Bring it. #Liberal2025
hiring 1,000 new CBSA officers to crack down on the smuggling of drugs, guns and cars.
This is really important and I already know two people with whom I can connect this to a real concern of theirs. There have been multiple vehicle thefts in their neighborhood.
They both want to get tough on crime. They both want to strengthen the border. They both want a new censorship regime for social media. They both want to build more oil pipelines. They both wanted to cancel the carbon tax. They both wanted to cut the capital gains tax. They both promise more cops, more prisons, more neoliberalism, more climate change, more of the same conservative policy that has come to be seen as the default. Only one has a leader who can give the impression of being rational, but there's never been a better time to not vote Conservative or Liberal. And yet that's what we'll be doing.
Canada is not alone in this predicament. The whole world is in need of a new kind of politics, some way out of this ideological vacuum that's being filled with bravado, bullshit, creeping fascism, and wishful thinking. The NDP has nothing. The Green Party is dissipated. Communism has lost its mojo. Surrealism has lost its magic powers. Situationism was abducted and hasn't been seen for decades. Somebody please come up with new ideas, maybe I can help edit the fucking manifesto in time for the next election.
Step 1: undercut the Conservative campaign by co-opting their strongest polling ideas but leaving the rest of their hateful bullshit rhetoric and billionaire suck-up rhetoric out.
Step 2: get elected.
Step 3: people organize and figure out amongst ourselves what it is we truly want out of our governments. Talk to people face to face.
Step 4: people call for change. We should lobby our governments at all levels. Do our own part in making Canadian life better in ways we can without the fed's help.
Step 5: Keep fighting against facsism and billionaires that continually seek to undermine the progress we want.
