Exactly. And if anyone is looking for more comparisons, roads.
the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

Only a few days left to take this questionnaire and write in your own answers to let this Liberal government know that you don't actually want them to be a conservative government.
The government of Canada has a questionnaire about it's new budget. Most of the given options are conservative (because this is a conservative government) but there are some that aren't, and you can write in your own responses.

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

they've been relentlessly manufacturing consent for all this nonsense since before i was alive. and even though everyone from here will tell you these people are freaks, they're the only ones who ever get to speak for alberta. you want to stop western alienation? let the rest of us talk.
