I keep reflecting on the surrealness of Mark Carney, former Governor of the Bank of England and Bank of Canada, invoking an anti-communist essay by Vaclav Havel to declare at Davos that the American-led neoliberal capitalist world order is a “lie”

I find it ironic watching a capitalist bankster state that communism sustained itself with a lie when he's on the side telling the lie of infinite growth on a finite planet.

I was briefly an NDP member because I thought, at least, they understood that austerity is not compatible with solving these problems.
The Manitoba government has backpedalled on move to sever ties with all but four private nursing agencies by Jan. 15, while some rural hospitals struggle to fill vacant shifts during the transition.

The neoliberal tactic to destroy a movement:
1. Join support of said movement
2. Criticize the unifying policy of said movement
3. Spread the criticism through the pundit class
4. Run poll on policy following widespread propaganda
5. Point to poll as reason why policy must change
6. Leave movement

It's another signal that this Liberal government sees no value in the work of government. Utter, utter foolishness.

Great to catch up with Premier Smith today to talk about getting big things built for Albertans and all Canadians.
We’re focused on building new trading partnerships, fast-tracking major projects, and making Canada an energy superpower in a rapidly changing global landscape.

The Democrats craft a winning strategy for the 2024 election!
Recent statements from political strategists and Democratic Party insiders seem to suggest that the party’s strategy for the 2026 midterm races — particularly in hotly contested swing districts — will be to focus on economic concerns rather than on holding President Donald Trump accountable.
Polls Undercut Dem Strategy to Avoid Discussing Trump Impeachment in Midterms
Democratic strategists are telling swing district candidates to focus on the economy and to avoid discussing Trump.

Canada, like other western states, is worried about alienating Trump. But that just invites isolation next time, when it's your turn over the barrel, and everyone else stays silent for fear of alienating Trump.

He affirmed support for getting someone in Venezuela who will sell it off to the highest bidder. Trudeau hosted Guaido, now Carney is trying to legitimize Machado so the US doesn’t get the only crack at Venezuela’s resources.

the administration wants to frame this (bizarrely) as law enforcement. but if law enforcement conducted a raid for a suspect and killed 40 people, including an unknown number of unarmed civilians, it would be treated as a clear disaster like Waco.
