Carney's record so far?
- Capitulation on first big stand-off w/Trump
- Border bill with major rights & privacy issues
- A new law that spits on Indigenous rights
- Another bill giving political parties immunity from privacy rights
Poilievre would probably be doing worse, but that ain't saying much.

Because Drumpf used the excuse of our border to hit us with tariffs, Carney folded & hasn't stopped folding.
Maybe we'll get a trade/defence agreement out of it, with Drumpf's worthless signature. Why would we want the golden dome idiocy or trade with them?

Alberta announcing tax cuts is a death knell for our public institutions like education and healthcare - another blatant push to blow it all up in order to push for privatization. But most Albertans cannot link the two, unaware of division of powers. They'll still blame Trudeau.

Realize there’s a lot going on but if bill C5 gets through intact, after all the inquiries and reports and apologies, Canada is just stomping on Indigenous people again in the name of keeping white people safe and there’s a name for that type of country.

This is a multibillion scam that will force Canada further into the military "protection" of the authoritarian regime in Washington.
