A bot-like network? No that’s just the average conservatives on the internet following marching orders from their financial overlords.

The free internet provider?

I hate watching Canada going through the same thing that overtook America. Regardless of politics.

It has been going on for a decade on the whole planet now.

Especially frustrating that we have citizens dumb enough to fall for it, despite seeing the mess that is the USA.

I would even argue that some of these stupid motherfuckers are even dumber than MAGA because they're spouting USA-based political bullshit as if it has anything to do with the Canadian government. Like these dipshits don't know what country they live in or something.

Same. I can only hope something hopeless like Carney actually doing anything about enemy owned media majority.

I think the issue is bigger than politicians tbh. Some group has the world in their palm playing us all out.

Give it a minute, all the fuck Trudeau stickers will have Carney pasted over it

Oh they already are in many parts of the country. Seen a few out here in the bumfuck part of the lower mainland in BC.

Finally, at least he can retire in peace.

My hope is that he opens a food truck serving Canadian inspired cuisine called "Truck Foodeaux" as a troll to his bumper sticker critics and lives his best life.

Didn't vote for him, but didn't hate him either, so: best wishes, and thanks for bowing out, at least your timing was good. Room temperature milk or flat pop. Glad we have a shift, very glad it's not the cons.

Carney brought a net zero focus with him to Brookfield. They didn't impose it on him.

And, anyway, what's wrong with wanting to reduce the damage humanity is doing to the planet that we all live on?

Some people with more money than they could ever spend might make less money than they otherwise would have in the medium term. In the long term, of course, it means nothing because climate collapse effectively makes wealth moot. But in the meanwhile, papa needs another three billion, so don't make us late for the plastic age collapse.

That is another repeated theme in Carney's book

I mean, it's elementary math tbh. When civilizations collapse and the angry, hungry hordes go burning the countryside, the rich are especially unsafe. Our own wealthy know this, which is why they're building bunkers in NZ. This confounds me, frankly. They know that the world they're creating is going to blow up and try to kill them, so maybe, idk, stop creating that particular world instead of actively choosing to live out the rest of your days in a well-adorned hole as your wealth converges towards zero because you managed to blow up every functioning society that recognizes property rights and currency? Is next quarter's line going up a bit faster really more important than not putting yourself in a situation where you have to convince your security team to wear explosive collars?

He also talks about changing how executive incentives work to encourage a longer term outlook and to account for the externalities that their companies/decisions create. Making sure those corporate decision makers have much more personal "skin in the game".
