Hey, fuck you Canada!

I'm a US citizen, and I've seen a lot of canadians complain about the US. But its my turn now. You are helping enable fascism. So fuck you.

That is all.

[-] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago

Agreed. I'm pretty embarassed to be Canadian at the moment.

Why not include the company name? We should be publicly shaming any companys supporting the facist regime nextdoor

Roshel

The original Hebrew name derives from the word "rahel," meaning "ewe" or female sheep

Also yes the founder and owner is Israeli.

It's included as the third bullet point in the summary.

Okay Canadian assembly techs: you have an opportunity to do something extremely funny

Dear Canada,

Please don't.

Our PM is a feckless neoliberal stooge…Banker. He's basically a northern Democrat…or a bit to the right.

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 3 days ago

He doesn't seem feckless to me.

You kidding?

Buddy was elected to “save” us from Polieve’s conservatism and MAGA…and has been the single most destructive force to the fabric of Canada in modern history. He’s cutting deeper than any conservative could ever hope to, as is he privatizing and outsourcing profits.

Just because our (small L) liberals went back to sleep after they think they averted a disaster doesn’t mean it’s not happening.

The worst part is conservatives have no idea how good they have it and they’re treating him like he’s Chairman Mao. It’s Paul Martin all over again.

Lol no. Have you actually been following the policy, and what the Conservatives are suggesting instead?

He's definitely moved things to the center (it was a change election, PP would have won otherwise), but on the US file he's doing about as well as anyone could hope for, and hasn't actually cut much - literally just civil servants. All the social programs are fine. Meanwhile PP's life's mission is to kill the CBC.

Most of the carbon tax is still there. There's a new housing program. He just tricked Alberta into raising it's carbon tax. And it goes on.

[-] MyMindIsLikeAnOcean@piefed.world 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

“Hasn’t cut much?” He’s cut everything. Of course the conservatives have been forced to promise deeper cuts than the Liberals because the Liberals occupied all their policy positions.

No, cancelling taxes, cutting government across the board, putting the private sector in charge of housing and privatizing pipelines isn’t “moving to the centre”.

Guessing you’re a Liberal…because you’re repeating their PR.

The conservatives are pissed of because he’s drinking their milkshake. The electorate moved rightward (Justin Trudeau fatigue) and he moved with them, elbowing the Conservative Party further to the right into unelectable fringe la la land.

The Liberal party has a history of making these rightward shifts. It’s why they’re called “Canada’s Natural Governing Party.” They have no real ideological base, they just see which way the wind is blowing and go that way.

[-] MyMindIsLikeAnOcean@piefed.world 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I don’t agree at all that the electorate moved right. Elections are about voter suppression, voter activation, and holding your nose before you vote. This election happened to feature a giant swath of socialist voters abandoning the NDP for the LPC or being suppressed entirely: they didn’t “move right”, they were just swayed by the allure of strategic voting - or turned off entirely.

Then there’s other factors like the chunk of traditional non-voters who were activated by the pandemic…the poor right…maple MAGA. Then there’s the traditional conservative voters (a small group) that stayed home because Pollivre is a bridge too far. Then there’s the armchair liberals that got of their asses and voted for once. On and on. Mash all that together and you have like 70% of Canadians voting…very high, but not great in context. My point is that the same people don’t vote in every election.

Thank you

Fuck ICE

[-] reddig33@lemmy.world 45 points 4 days ago

What, Elon’s cyber trucks weren’t good enough for them?

[-] Arancello@aussie.zone 12 points 4 days ago

Cybertruk bulletproof stainless steel was proving to have intermittent swiss cheese events. The unpredictability knocked them down on the procurement scores.

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 days ago

When I say I want zero trade with the US it includes ICE.

Though if these were subject to a safety recall I wouldn’t complain.

[-] notgivingmynametoamachine@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I hope Canada takes the money and tells ICE to fuck off. Or even better, deliver 20 Cozy Coupes painted the LGTBQ+ flag colors

[-] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 26 points 4 days ago

ICE going to pay tarrifs for steel and alum, then tarrif again for vehicles.

[-] derry@midwest.social 10 points 3 days ago

Except it's not ICE, it's taxpayers. And because enough of them are raging racist assholes he now live in a racist state . Fuck fascists

[-] non_burglar@lemmy.world 19 points 4 days ago

Eh … now you don’t know what to think huh?

What does this mean?

[-] MrDrProf@lemmy.ca 19 points 4 days ago

It's an old Norm Macdonald punchline from his time at SNL. Op's joking that buying Canadian is good but ICE buying them is bad

[-] betanumerus@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 days ago

Exactly! I thought of Norm when I wrote it, but forgot about it when I read this question. LOL What an amazing joke that was. 3 punchlines ... "you never seen anything like it" LOL.

[-] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 11 points 4 days ago

A thin silver lining is that Canada's siphoning some of the hyperinflated budget that is meant for a whole fascist concentration camp regime. Now if only we could get the horn to play "chinga la migra" occasionally when pressed...

Oh no, how unexpected. Who would think that the interests of capital and imperialism would take precedent over the wellbeing of the people in Canada?
