Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Bill C-5 signals a dramatic shift in Canadian politics, allowing major industrial projects to bypass environmental and Indigenous consultation. This move threatens to rupture Canada’s liberal foundations, sparking Indigenous resistance and raising fears of an authoritarian turn in response to growing civil unrest and dissent.

    I voted for him and I’m ok with him. Economically, if trump is going to threaten us then we need to act differently than we have in the past. We do need nation building projects that help us break our reliance on the US. We also need to reduce immigration because of the continued housing shortage. So with reduced immigration and reduced sales to the US and increased spending austerity is then needed. The era of spend spend spend is over.

        The wealthy, yeah I agree but the corporations, it’s a bit tricky right now as we don’t want them to all go to the us either. That’s exactly what Trump wants. I don’t have a solution but it can’t be as simple as taxing more.

        We’re in a much more complicated situation.

          Tired of hearing the excuse that taxing corporations will make them leave.

            I’m tired of saying it. I’m also not saying they should not pay taxes, it’s just that the solution is not that simple.
