Ottawa offered up at least $18.6 billion in support of the fossil fuel and petrochemical industries in 2023.
$8 billion in loan guarantees for the Trans Mountain pipeline. $7.4 billion in public financing through the Crown corporation Export Development Canada. $1.3 billion for carbon capture and storage projects.
I think Trudeau is a good guy IRL. He just joined the wrong party because of his dad’s legacy.
I think his real values were more in line with the NDP which he should have joined in the first place.
Now he’s stuck with a party with Neo liberal ideals that he has no choice but to promote.
I think our three major parties are all neoliberal. They all want to do the same things, they just argue against how much to spend and who to give the money to.
There’s exceptions of course. Notably guns and marginalized people.
I’d prefer not to have a neoliberal government, but until then I’m voting for more freedom for everyone. (NDP or Green)
There are good labour movement people in the NDP. For example I think it’s tragic that Charlie Angus lost to Singh for party leadership. But currently the NDP leadership pushes more on “neoliberal with some leftist lip-service” than actual labour ideals.
I liked Guy Caron. A socialist and an economist.
Can we elect the entire staff of The Beaverton? They might actually do a good job.
The NDP are the closest thing to a left party we have (outside voting for the communist party (fun fact; we have a communist party)) and they’ve been clearcutting forests, creating an astronomical fuck ton of homeless people and gentrifying the fuck out of the place.
