Canada

Its also an inaccurate oversimplification of what Carney actually said

pro-China

Weird how a very vocal population of Lemmy and Reddit will shout "China is good now!" When I mention that they are actively and openly trying to manipulate Canadian politics. And how importing boatloads of Chinese developed tech is like putting a spy in every home and business network.

When Trump first attacked Iran Carney practically ran to the nearest microphone to tell us all how he thought it was just dandy. The guy has repeatedly expressed support for the war because that's how he feels.

Except he doesn't seem to really want to commit to that. He is still making massive deals with US corporations and sharing massive data with the US, not to mention pushing through massive surveillance bills that only will benefit them.

"Nice doggy — go ahead and tear apart that stranger, it's totally worth it. Would you like to buy some rocks?"

We need proportional representation for this to work. The Conservatives are so ghoulish that people vote Liberal as a safety. If the left splits the vote, the Conservatives get a majority government with only 40% of the vote.

Lots of people are still glazing him for that one speech where he suggested Canada should be more like the USA.

Choice 3: Carney shuts the fuck up and doesn't look like a stupid asshole. That would have been a good one. The guy absolutely didn't have to fall over himself to support this dumbass war, multiple times.

Yeah, I mean I don't really like Carney or his policies, and I hate Trump even more, but this is clearly the only logical approach to dealing with Trump at the moment. Talk is cheap (something Carney clearly understands because he uses talk very cheaply all the time), and Trump loves flattery, and he hates being criticized, and he will irrationally lash out at anyone who does. He's proven that so many times, there's no benefit to aggravating him and giving him a target to fixate on, just let him flail around aimlessly and try to dodge his aimlessly swinging fists.

I'm getting really tired of listening to or wasting almost any attention whatsoever on what people say anymore, because it's all fucking lies anyway. I've started carefully watching what people do instead, and while I have some scathing criticisms of things Carney has done and is doing, the things he's doing also very clearly don't benefit Trump. Trying to make him out to be some Trump-friendly-crony is disingenuous and inaccurate. He's dangerous in his own way, but he's no ally to Trump and the things he's doing to distance the Canadian economy from the US and build lasting international partnerships that are going to define Canada for generations? That's significant stuff.

The frequent praise he offers to Trump is always empty, meaningless words with no real weight behind them and certainly no actions. Carney knows that, and anyone paying attention should know that. Trump is the only one who evidently doesn't know that, but it's also possible he just doesn't care. He's more interested in appearances anyway, and the appearance of having Canada appear to support him is meaningful to him even if it's meaningless in actual fact.

Carney has made it clear he is a committed imperialist maybe stop excusing him?

As an Iranian I'm devastated that they killed so many people and bombed cultural sites. I'm mad that they destroyed infrastructure. I'm frustrated that their actions strengthened the religious right.

But I'm weirdly proud that their empire came to Iran to die. I'm proud that Iran just flat out refused to sell out to capital, and had made their homework.

He gave a nice, anti-socialist and anti-labor union speech at Davos, but then immediately turned back on it and went to business as usual. For all of his talk about wanting to break Canada from the US, his attempts are haphazard and he is still committed to making massive deals with US corporations at the expense of Canadians.
