I would argue increasing investment in Canada at a time when we’re economically distressed is a pertinent move that would produce a net positive for Canada when you consider the alternative.

I would happily condemn such behaviour in more fruitful times when we had the capacity to place greater value on higher level needs. However, in our current circumstance we have to make difficult choices.

Stealing bread to feed your family is still stealing, but it’s most definitely in the grey area or morality.

A minister of AI makes sense, you can’t just ignore it.

A stable economic environment allows for us to make investments today that pay off in the future, but in a war like environment you need to mobilize the infrastructure you have and build support around it. Whether we like it or not we have a number of valuable resources in the ground and we need to start moving those resources elsewhere so we can invest in a renewable future.

There’s a lot of stuff I disagree with Carney on, but what I appreciate about him is that he is a pragmatist. He understands that at times you have to put your personal values aside and take the action that makes the most sense.

Winston Churchill was a racist, but he had the balls to take on Germany and not bend. Lincoln hindered post war reconstruction and his authoritarian overreach was unprecedented but he was the only person willing to tear a nation apart to rebuild it.

Leaders need to be able to put themselves aside to make decisions that produce the most utility for those they lead. This means occasionally getting pie on your face or going against your own heart. A snake acts dishonestly with malice, that’s not what’s going on here. Our current circumstances demand pragmatism we can’t crucify the only person in the room willing to act like one in the face of that.

I don’t think you understood a single word of what I said.

lol you’re right but it doesn’t flow as nicely.

Ima big Lincoln fan, greatest leader of all time IMO

Apples and oranges…

They split their donations 50/50 between the liberals and the CPC…

What made the halftime show so great was that it was a celebration of something Bad Bunny actually cared about. He cared enough to want to share with you the lovely little things about his culture that make it special.

I don’t know what Kid Rock loves or cares about or wants to share (I actually have one idea but it’s gross). I do know what he hates. Nobody wants to hang out with an asshole I’d much rather go for good vibes with a language barrier.

People will jump to blame children who bring an immeasurable amount of joy to someone’s life (if they’re ready for them) but we won’t recognize the stagnant wages, unaffordable necessities, and stagnant opportunities that actually make it so hard.

you can do whatever you want with a child at your side. There’s one thing that gets in the way. Money.

Yes but the alternative is to become hostage to a hostile nation.

You cave now and they will do it again. We also have to stop pretending these are Canadian firms leaving. We’ve allowed many of our manufacturing companies to become subsidiaries of foreign companies.

Reddit is just too botted out to be a reasonable place for a conversation anymore.

There’s two back and forths before someone gets angry and everyone has a personal anecdote that contradicts any point anyone makes.

so fucking gross

I think Bernie was an idealist and I don’t buy in to a lot of his ideas while appreciating his work to create real change. Don’t crucify me for this.

I wholeheartedly believe there is an alternate timeline where Bernie won the 2016 democratic nomination and won the presidency and we avoided all this shit.

Fuck Argentina, they’ve played dirty football this entire World Cup. Watch them lose was fantastic

That’s Iran’s nuke. If they lose that they lose their sovereignty. I hate that I am forced to defend an Iranian regime that I hate… dumb ass war

Washrooms are such an odd obsession. Just make single occupancy toilets , it’s more space efficient

The amount of GLP-1 ads during the Super Bowl was disturbing 

I think we all have to be very careful of hyperbole and misinformation. I’ve found even in this community some posts will be littered with misinformation. Looks like scary times are here.

I thought this was a stupid idea, so I punched myself in the tummy with a sucker.

can confirm that it hurts like a motherfucker

Reddit has gotten impossible with that nonsense. I got banned from a sub for calling out someone who posted a tweet about tariffs being beneficial as a scholarly source. I said, this isn’t a source it’s some guys opinion. 

In another sub I got banned for suggesting that liberals claim to be above using attack ads was a dumb opinion because they’ve never said any such thing.

The polarization is bad for everyone.
