I would truly welcome membership in the EU. As far as the military is concerned, being all for one is something is very much in keeping with most Canadian’s feelings when it comes to our allies. On another post a European person declared that Canadians are the Golden Retrievers of the world!

Carney put him in a corner til he behaves, and there in that corner, he’s alternately trying to kiss up to Carney and utter on about invasion. We can add oppositional defiance disorder to what makes him tick.

Bare Naked Ladies’, Lovers In A Dangerous Time is a constant earworm. Especially the line, “We’re gonna kick at the darkness til it bleeds daylight.” That’s how I’m feeling.

One just needs to look at Germany of the 1930s to under­stand how it happens. It was a time of great disparity between the rich and the poor the latter, who were desperate for leadership, who might relieve them of their very real hunger. And the nazi party delivered on that promise.

We are in a time of great disparity between the rich and poor. And, for decades, jobs for working folks have been shipped abroad to countries where slave labour is legal. The American dream, or Canadian for that matter, is becoming possible to attain–even for the middle class.

But America’s poor are in a desperate situation. In that desperation, they chose poorly. Added to that is the fact that they have a very limited and shame-based social safety net. There are fewer chances to earn an honourable wage.

Add to that, I think a majority of maga faithful are Southern, many of which hang on to a time when enslavement made them rich and proud. They’ve never let that go. The disappearance of a working wage and Democrats clear disdain of them all contributed to what’s happening today.

We could learn from that and not allow people to become so desperate. I don’t know what to do about the more dangerous racist and lgbtq+ phobia in places like Alberta. I know that not everyone in Alberta is that way. But there is a significantly greater number of adherents there than perhaps other provinces.

Because of changing technology and this trend for allowing the use of slave-like labour in other countries, we need to look at more socialist policies for our own population. Jean Cretien wanted to introduce a basic universal income, but it wasn’t accepted then. I believe we really need to revisit it now.

Carney is doing his due diligence.

We don’t want their dairy…

He’s a whiny class bully.

Such horse hockey.
