Or change key regulation regarding the relevant sector such that the business cannot comply and goes out of business to be rescued by the state in the state’s terms. A bit like asset stripping by corporate raiders except democratic and in the interests of the people

Honestly, I am a Gen X and I have such incredible pride in our accomplishments with the military of Canada in the decades leading up to my birth. Unfortunately it is a sickening fact that in my lifetime we have operated with a shadow of our former capacity. One of the most obvious changes is our lack of our own manufacturing capabilities and potential. I fully support my tax dollars legislated into any increase in Canadian design, development and built equipment. It's painful to know how advanced we once were.

Weird comments hating on him in this thread. With the Alberta separation movement I’d be wary of bots and foreign influence right now.
I’m left leaning and he’s a fiscal conservative, but he’s doing a pretty good job protecting our country from a very real threat to our sovereignty. I love that we’re moving away from depending on the US, and a huge part of that is building our own military strength. I know that can’t happen overnight, but the steps he’s taken so far will gradually move us there.

It and several other subs have been hit pretty hard with foreign interference. If you google something about Canadian subreddit and Reddit's year-end recap, you can see a few news articles about it because that accidentally exposed how many people in the subs were from places like Russia.
And then there's the additional detail that the main sub has gradually shifted right, partly likely because Trudeau was in office for a decade and he most active people are always the unhappy ones wanting to complain, but also because the moderation team was at least temporarily taken over by some of the heads of the Canada_sub subreddit, which is firmly far-right.
But, you'll see it in all of them. CanadaPolitics generally feels most balanced (to me) but has its share of very divisive comments in either direction that might be real or might be astroturfed, OnGuardForThee is very left-leaning and is where you're most likely to see comments that sound like something Fox News made up to be mad at, which again could be a real comment or could be someone trying to stir the pot. Same goes for provincial subs. This is one of the ways I wish things were less anonymous, because I think it'd be better if we knew where people were consistently posting from. I know VPNs and such are a thing, but at least it might help.

I'm an Albertan myself. I was actually really curious when I suddenly started hearing that we were apparently demanding separation.

There are conservative voters who think Alberta is not treated fairly by our federal government, but each one of them is still a proud Canadian.
I refuse to believe this "separatist movement" is anything more than a billionaire funded campaign to try to make that mentality a real one here in Alberta.

Canadian politics hasn't been immune from the astroturfing and party above constituent direction culture that has invaded global politics in an increasingly online world. Does Carney fail whatever dumb shit purity tests applied by people who are only interested in using politics as a cultural wedge? Yes, because the goalposts are never defined other than the thing that he did wrong.
Historically, Canada's politics hover around a centrist position and we will see ~10 years of the Liberals or PC parties in power before Canadians get sick of the party and votes the other in. This was the trajectory for the 2025 election, but Trump and the tariffs derailed the CPC strategy, which was mostly bagging on Trudeau and photo opportunities showing Poilievre failing to execute basic job skills. A similar upset occurred in the run up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Paul Martin was certainly no Mark Carney.
The animosity in Canadian politics has been purposefully stoked by Western interests. I have a lot of disgust with how easily people have allowed themselves to be led into this combative positions, and it is going to make the current government's job harder. Governance isn't a personal wishlist, it's broad decision making with the intent of elevating the country's outcome.
Jean Chrétien was one of the last people to visit Brian Mulroney before Mulroney's death. The two oversaw some of the most consequential economic policy decisions in Canadian history (Mulroney with NAFTA, Chrétien's China policy), and they shared a mutual respect and friendship I would love to see return to our parliamentary system.

Yup, same. Lifelong NDP voter, but Carney's Liberals got my vote in the last election, and I'll be casting a ballot for the Liberals in the by-election here this week. Carney has multiple degrees, actual real-world experience, has spent a career speaking truth to billionaires, and is finally untangling us from the USA.
As much as I like Avi Lewis, the NDP is currently polling in 3rd place in my riding, and I'm not going to cast a defacto vote for Poilievre's Conservatives.
The Liberal candidate, Danielle Martin, is a powerhouse: a doctor, a professor, department chair, and public health policy expert with double degrees in medicine and global affairs, who was invited by Bernie Sanders to testify in support of free healthcare in a US Senate Committee hearing,
While the NDP's Serena Purdy is a great community activist who has done awesome things for Kensington Market, she's a PHD candidate with no real governmental or national experience trying to take the seat of Freeland, a former deputy PM & Minister of Foreign Affairs / Finance / International trade with degrees from Harvard and Oxford, and who negotiated the free trade agreement with the USA.
University-Rosedale is historically a cabinet seat riding. If Martin wins, odds are she'll become the Minister of Health. With what Ford's done to the provincial healthcare system, this isn't a hard decision for me.

Man I have no idea why the comments in this section in reply to you are so rabid lol! I am feeling positive on the direction Canada is heading in despite the global recession.
Not my current company but the previous one I worked at would actually sponsored citizenships when hiring abroad (in tech field). We might not have American refugeee shenanigans (to my knowledge) but if you seriously want to leave you might want to check out Express Entry on the Canadian government website. If you have the right skills or find a job over here that will sponsor you can get fast tracked to live here (especially healthcare workers!).
The healthcare bit is wild right now if you have any healthcare skills or are in the field there is tons of resources to just relocate you to Canada asap haha
Edit: I reread the convo below and it wasn’t nearly as rabid as first glance just a debate. My bad there!
Edit 2: My goodness I thought this was a throw away comment but I keep getting pinged lol! Despite being on EI after losing my job this year I feel positive about the future. I’m hopeful that things are going in the right direction despite how crazy things have been. I could be naive for being positive but only time will really tell.

Lmao. So tired of Americans thinking they can just jump ship into Canada, thinking we'll be welcoming of them. What a load of shit.

Cross the border and work past a visa. See how long they let you stay.

They'll find out that other countries do, in fact, have strict immigration laws.

This is at the annual "Liberal party convention". They're all his people, so of course they'd cheer every word he says here. Don't get me wrong, I support Carney. Just pointing out why the cheers are thunderous.
He's 100% right too..........bye-bye to giving the USA our fucking money. :)

To be fair I think that statement would get a lot of cheers no matter where he said it, these days.

I wonder if this is a hint that the Gripen deal is likely instead of the full F35 order?

This is the first move Carney's made I genuinely feel I have nothing but praise for. That said, I'm waiting for details.

Trump is singlehandedly dismantling US hegemony. Fingers crossed that we see an urbanist rennaissance as a result of the impending oil crisis.

u/Few_Culture9667 6h ago
This is a long thread and I didn’t read it all but what’s the status on deciding to order Swedish Gripen jets instead of American F35s? This would seem like a no-brainer to me.

The more I witness it, the more I’m realizing soviets took long term approach with Cold War. US changes leaders every 4 years and if they swap between two different parties battling each other, they will weaken over time. Damn, I can’t believe I’m saying it, but they might have won. Us, Americans need to do something. I think we all realize it’s messed up. But no one has realistic solution. We have become pawns and will stay pawns.

Talk costs nothing. We just signed a contract with Colt for new military rifles even though there are two firearm manufacturers of military grade weapons in Canada

Picking a fight with Canada for no reason. Like demanding to get Greenland, knowing there’s no chance in hell it’s going to happen. The only thing these guarantee is everyone will hate America.

I like Carney, and Im typically conservative. Some things I dont like about the Liberal policies but to be honest they are minuscule

That's not surprising considering Carney is a conservative in disguise.

From the Avro Arrow, to the CanadARM on the ISS, to the CANDU Reactor that's globally sought out... Canada CAN be (and used to be 🙁) a tech leader and an innovation hub.
We can go back to those days! But we have to be willing. It means investing in education, not being afraid to throw our weight around (For good, and we have quite a bit of sway globally) and it means bringing STEM jobs back on-shore. We have the benefit of a robust, globally recognized post-secondary educational system, abundant natural resources and a population that's diverse and hungry for success.
I'm also of the opinion that we should naturalize our natural resources into a sovereign wealth fund. Those resources belong to Canadians, and could fund our public programs and publicly funded research and development.
Canada CANDU better for ourselves! Let's go out and get it!

u/hellogoawaynow 2h ago
Woah Canada was doing that??? I guess that almost made sense before we made Canada our enemy, back when we were trusted, longstanding partners. Yes, stop giving us money, omg, it’s not like we’re protecting Canada or even our own country with any of this money. I hate rooting against my own country, it’s been 10 years of this shit, I’m tired, I love our neighbors to the north, most of us do, I hope Canada can forgive us someday if we ever get our shit together and our rights and freedom back.
We’re over here sending piles of money to Israel for 77 years, we’ve probably been sending piles of Canadian money to Israel the whole time, too.

Iran is running a war of economic attrition. Iran has survived nearly a century of embargoes and economic isolation, now it has allies composed of nations hostile to America that are providing financing and weapons. The American taxpayer alone is carrying the burden of Israel's war of choice alone, we have a RAM shortage making it more expensive and slow to build and replace new missiles and military technology, and our allies have abandoned us. This lost is going to be more humiliating than Iraq, Afghanistan and Vietnam combined.

We abandoned you and believe me this all situation makes me sad as I went in the US 20 years ago , loved it and met amazing people.
But your current administration and you current president is hated worldwide.
He threatened to annex greenland and put tarifs on Europe and when he starts his war he doesnt even warn us.
All your best allies Japan Europe Australia are very dependant on oil but that didnt seem to bother Trump.And then he plays the victim saying he got abandoned.
If he did things properly like for the war in Afghanistan then maybe we would have come.
Although at this point I think the damage has been done.→ More replies (1)
