That’s not conservatism anymore. What would you name a political party that’s entirely centered on inviting a foreign, even adversarial neighbour to seize control of the country, either economically or in its entirety? Genuinely asking.

Just move there, traitor.

Frankly this exact type of manipulative messaging is why we need to review ownership in Canadian media, I can’t be the only one thinking it’s not great that like 85% of your news is provided by owners who are bound to US interests, you know, the country openly threatening our sovereignty…

Oh do you have a copy of the contract on hand? I’d like to see how exactly you found out the details of the arrangement.

There is value in standing on principal though, even if the outcome doesn’t end in getting compensation, if tRump wants to us extortionate tactics and enable bad corporate actors to do the same he’ll have to do it in the open. These companies are hoping to violate contract law, and the WSJ is happy to use neutral, or even favourable rhetoric to run cover. So while I sympathize with feeling exhausted or futility, I applaud the Canadian government for not just quietly accepting this sort of behaviour. This might be a good optics opportunity to point out exactly who is the actual threat to job creation here, too. These companies aren’t making a good case for what Canada could expect to look forward to if they capitulate to annexation rhetoric, especially with how vindictive the current US regime has proven itself to be time and time again.

When the fuck did the NDP have a federal mandate? Nevermind that, let’s get to the real point here: Your partisan brainrot only enables the very same special interest lobbies who pushed the Liberal government to wrongly implement programs to provide them with cheap labour at your and my expense. The super rich like the Westons do not want to pay Canadians what they’re owed to get access to their record profits they love to brag about immediately after telling us there’s just nothing they can do about prices. You’ll get no argument for the existence of the TFW program from me here, but you’re absolutely restarted if you think your ‘child arsonist’ or whatever fucked up metephor you wanna use actually justifies supporting a party that promises to lean EVEN HARDER into the lobbies and suck even more billionaire dick. If that’s what you want, I can’t pretend to understand your politics, it sure seems like you’re against your own best interests and can’t wait to get exploited harder… We’ll just have to agree to disagree.

What is this party conserving exactly? It clearly isn’t social programs, it clearly isn’t maintaining the greatest good for the most Canadians… Let’s just call this ideology what it is now: Corporatist. Everyone in here should know that advancing the interests of oligarchs and global capital definitionally comes at your personal expense either directly or indirectly, by definition. So this party is anti-Canadian, in that it seeks to disenfranchise and harm the Canadian public and the nation’s interests in service of private global capital. If you’re for that, own it, but don’t come pissing on my leg claiming you care about family values, or spirituality or anything but enrichment and power for the smallest minority of impossibly privileged people.

Now who wants to take bets on what % of private interest groups they represent are even based in Canada?
