You’re taking a reasonable position and pushing beyond it’s reasonable limits.

that is what things like the SPCA and law enforcement are for.

SPCA is a non-profit society. I don’t think they have the resources to hunt down puppy mills actively trying to subvert prohibition. RCMP is a national police force. I’m fairly certain puppy mills would fall near the bottom of their priorities list.

Prohibition never works as a substitute for regulation. Look at alcohol, drugs, and prostitution. Not only does prohibition utterly fail at eliminating these practices, it demonstrably exposes people to exploitation and harm.

Prohibiting animal breeding would just mean that the people who chose to do it would have no incentive to ensure their animals aren’t subjected to cruelty or harm.

Never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake.

Those people also don’t appreciate that in the context of Trumps unpredictability no publicly made plans would remain unchanged.

This literally just popped up on c/new.

Apparently includes breeding.

I think a legal avenue is necessary to prevent established/responsible breeders from moving to the black market.

But I agree with the sentiment. Animal/livestock cultivation in general has become a harmful practice that we need to reduce or change practices.

Hold the phone… Are they telling me the guy who ran multiple nations’ banks has investments!?!?!?

Regulation and permitting for ALL animal breeding.

I got family in AB… The parents believe the bullshit. But their kids all have lgbqt+ friends and as they get older it’s clear they’re low key seeing through the bullshit their parents don’t.

How conservatives hate a party that keeps buying them pipelines is beyond me.

But looking at the Fairy Creek resistance I think Carney is underestimating how many people are willing to physically fight to protect the environment. The RCMP have really only been dealing with non-violent protestors. People who believed the government would step in and do what’s right. When that faith is gone all bets are off.

A lot of British Columbians are looking south at Washington to California and wondering if we have more in common with them than Ontario… and Carney is certainly not helping.

Easy for you to say. In BC, Canada some buildings like hospitals have signs in Silax, the language of the local Nsyilxcn people.

I’m also an NDP voter that voted LPC over CPC. I knew we wouldn’t get Value(s) Carney, but I do believe that if anyone is going to shift capitalism in a better direction it would be him.

As a former bouncer I completely disagree that silence is a sign of weakness or subservience. That’s just good tact. Never argue with an idiot, they’ll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Elbows Up doesn’t mean you should draw a penalty. You’re supposed to hit them hard and get away with it.

As far as the DST. I find it interesting that a tax we never collected is being framed as a loss we deserve compensation for.

A month ago I thought bills C-2 & C-5 were overreach, and their lack of oversight definitely is… I wrote several letters to that effect. But given the continuation of Trumps annexation rhetoric, I now recognize those bills were designed for a political environment that is still burgeoning.

Based on Trumps usage of ICE I believe it’s inevitable that the USA will use domestic crossings to affect some form of hybrid war against Canada. Russia & China will certainly occupy northern Canada if we don’t rapidly expand our national infrastructure.

These threats, I believe, do justify deprioritizing environmental concerns, to a degree.

I think the silver lining is that Carney’s energy expansion in to oil/gas is not mutually exclusive with expanding renewable energy.

I also sold mortgages for a short time and saw the industry change more in 24 months than 24 years. I agree that the least harmful economic solution to housing is to freeze housing prices where they are until cost of living and supply normalize. The alternative of housing prices drop would have a net negative effect. The CMHC in 2014 & 15 made major changes to reduce Canadian borrowing power to avoid a post mortgage crisis of mass defaults like what we saw in the USA.

I think the world is too volatile right now to expect concrete plans that aren’t heavily hedged. Carney is playing the game correctly by holding Canada’s cards close and not telling his bluffs.

You do. But afaik that’s just cuz pickling cucumbers are different than salad cucumbers. Personally I find the difference negligible, but pickle connoisseurs will likely disagree.

Thanks for the suggestion! My buddy farms quail!

I reeally want to try pickled eggs but years of watching the Simpsons have me thinking about the nasty jar of eggs in Moe’s tavern.

One day I’ll get over it.

Making your own pickles is surprisingly easy FYI!

Plus once you have a pickle jar you can just add more cucumbers so you never run out!

Love this guy!

I agree with this. I think a lot of Carney haters conveniently forget who Poilievre is. But in general every good point this blog post had to offer was buried underneath writing that shouldn’t have been cut out in a draft.

Yup. Here’s my thoughts on those.

1. DGAF bout stampede and pancake flipping

2. DGAF bout stampede and pancake flipping

3. Only mention of replacement in that article is union saying AI cannot replace them. IMO we need more AI tools in public service.

4. The expectations being unrealistic are your allegations. Based on what I’ve read from you, you’re wholly unqualified to make those kind of determinations.

5. Broken Link. I’ll assume it’s your opinion that the timelines are unrealistic.

6. Canada’s steel/auto sectors are highly integrated and interruption is going to have massive ripple effects in the Canadian economy. So yea Carney is meeting with their CEOs. NEXT.

7. Our legislature has been largely ineffective and it’s Clear the CPC/PP intend to continue gridlocking our government. Shifting power from the house is hardly the biggest problem with C-5. Further illustrating that you’re not writing this article objectively but with a specfic target in mind.

8. An amendment gets voted down and this relates to pancakes HOW? At least this is a legitimate concern about C5. Albeit a widely discussed one.

Honestly that’s as far as I got. I have concerns about bills C-2 and C5, but the way you’re trying to connect this to Carney personally is a waste of my time as a reader.

You absolutely lost me when you started trying to call out his financial holdings. It’s right there in his response… Is Pierre Poilievre on the up and up with his stock options?

If I had written that and submitted it to my English teacher he would have told me to delete 80% and do 3 more drafts.

This whole thing comes off as a Carney hate piece with zero objectivity. You need to appreciate that the people taking the time to read articles are likely going to be turned off by blatantly biased writing.

I personally am only bothering to respond because clearly you put some effort into this, and maybe you do have something valid to say. But you got some work to do first.

TLDR: Author calls Carney a nightmare boss than proceeds to neurotically nitpick him like the worst micromanager in the multiverse. Literally no connection between their vapid observations and the baseless claims they allege.

The comments they made here are a clear indication of the lack of objectivity and frame of reference behind their writing. But it is an opinion and entitled to be so. It’s just not a very good opinion.

The irony would be hilarious but I’d wager he’ll make a great propaganda piece to keep the MAGA base in line. They’ll blast his story to convince them that the lack of due process is a liberal lie.

This is exactly how FPTP inevitably results in a 2-party system.

Obviously the LPC only views electoral reform as a cheap trick to garner votes.

Maybe the NDP can come back with such a promise?

Unless the LPC noticeably improves peoples lives in the next 12 months we’re probably going to see another election. Who knows what’ll happen then.
