He seems to be a center-right Liberal (fiscally conservative, socially progressive), at a time when we need to make smart economic choices (to replace US trade) without undoing or hampering progressive policies and programs (to keep the safety net intact).

Better than having Pollievre in power.

He won because it was an economic crisis election, and most Canadians opted for the safest choice (white, old guard, fiscally prudent). NDP supporters carried him over the line, and if they hadn't, that crisis would have destroyed our country.

I'm hoping the Conservatives shit-can Pollievre at the leadership review in November over his clear refusal to change course after his defeat, despite his reassurances that he would do some soul searching

That baby wasn't a moron and had no say in their vaccination status. Likewise, people who fall for anti-vaccine misinformation are being manipulated, not being stupid.

Empathy wins people over. Calling them stupid just makes them resent you, which creates resistance to your views.

Measles is harmless once you're vaccinated against it. This only happened because of anti-vaccination rhetoric and misinformation. Your words are not harmless, what you say can potentially harm or kill another person.

This child is dead because their parents were told that vaccines are a threat.

You don't have a solid grasp of this topic or these concepts. I can help you out with some resources if you want. It's not personal, we just can't have a sincere discussion about this until you learn it.

I am Canadian, I don't support the Democrats. I am also not a Socialist, I am Anarcho-Communist Transhumanism. I also don't give a shit who you would vote for, I'm a grown ass man and not a child who forms their values based on what is popular 😂

You are far too old to still be caring about that.

North Korea is not socialist, Russia is literally fucking capitalist, China is the leading superpower, and Cuba has better healthcare access than the US.

It's clear you have no idea what these concepts actually represent and haven't actually looked into any of these examples beyond memes.

Those in need of public transport are *anyone who needs to use public transport*. Do you think an average person is just riding the bus for fun? 😂

Or that Section 8 represents an acceptable standard of housing? Do the poors not deserve clean, safe homes or the same standards you?

Yes, because there are forms of crypto that don't require this form of mining as a direct response to those concerns lmao

Do people forget that things, yknow, *change*? And can be improved?

*And that this has literally defined every aspect of our lives for a century now?* 😂

So that I, and everyone else, can be more productive members of society, increasing the available resources for that society, and improving the benefit every member of that society receives from being a part of it.

Like, you realize you have always relied on the rest of us for survival, right?

Do you think that is a permanent situation? AI is going to get more efficient, less power intensive, and very soon won't even need massive data centers. On-device AI is already around the corner. You remember the PC/Internet boom?

This is going to be even faster, and even deeper.
