Don't get me wrong, I realize we need to diversify our economy away from the US. Not sure how practical that is, but it sounds good. But just looking at how much we subsidized the oil/gas magnates by almost $30 billion last year and now we're handing more isn't away to deal with our carbon footprint

As Carney seems determined to kill the planet with all his "nation building" projects shouldn't one be built someplace besides Canada's hinterlands ie. The North or Ring of Fire? #cdnpoli #nationbuilding

Living in the north all I've seen is that all the resource extraction in the three territories doesn't see much benefit. Workers flown in and out from down south and leaving a poisoned wasteland behind to be moped up. All while the friends of neoliberals counting their dividends and bonuses

Just another comment on this Chris. If you look at the make up of the majority of those 67000 jobs, they were part time and in the service sector ie. retail. Important but financially precarious.

The long read: Despite several scandals worthy of Watergate over the past decade, Stephen Harper could win a fourth Canadian election next week. Can the master manipulator work his dark magic?

Wouldn't quite call gutting Canada Post, the elimination of 40000 jobs, and renigging on efforts to provide more mental health supports in the north and rural communities a step forward, but hey at least we're on track for being a petro-state!

Looks like @mark-carney.bsky.social wants to give away millions to corporations, but do nothing to provide supports to Canada's north and vulnerable communities. How about we invest in people in the north and not just in resource extraction and militarization north of 60!
