And you'll have capitalists screaming that corporate taxes in Canada are somehow too high, when they're absurdly LOW. Tax businesses more!
Carney is more conservative than Trump and it’s not even close. Carney has once again lowered corporate taxes
We are the most pro corporate country in the world now

Cyclists told me their protest to the removal of bike lanes would be that they'd take up the car lane. It is not acceptable to ride your bicycle on the sidewalk. You are putting pedestrians, your allies, at risk of harm.
A lot of people are biking on the sidewalk on bloor st now 😬

Canada’s historical military pattern is to maintain minimal forces during peacetime, but then to execute massive, rapid mobilizations when morally "roused". In the 6 years of WWII, Canada transformed from a virtually unarmed nation into a major military and industrial power.

Doug Ford staged municipal elections across the province on a false premise, and then did what Mussolini did in Fascist Italy. He has imposed authoritarian appointees over municipal regions, whom control which laws the elected municipal governments are allowed to pass.
NEW - The Ford government appoints regional chairs who will have 'strong chair' powers. Includes current Vaughan Mayor Steven Del Duca. Opposition leaders have called the move undemocratic.

Ann Mulvale, Halton Regional Chair
Frank Campion, Niagara Regional Chair
Nando Iannicca, Peel Regional Chair
Scott Davey, Waterloo Regional Chair
Steven Del Duca, York Regional Chair

Great replacement theory is mental
White British people are set to be a minority in our own country by 2063.
This is morally wrong. We made the country the way it is, and if too many people from other countries move here, instead of assimilating to our way of life, they will bring with them theirs.
Numbers n assimilate a small number of people from other cultures and countries over a long period of time. We cannot assimilate millions over the course of a generation.
Great Britain is not a collection of people who share the same passport, it is not a hotel, and we are not a charity. It is the ancestral home of the British people, who form an extended family, whom I love.

Sounds like a strong reason to implement gender-based affirmative action in our immigration process. It's entirely permissible, constitutionally.
In addition to s. 15(1) which protects gender equality, s. 15(2) explicitly allows for affirmative action.

Here's what the numbers look like for just people in their 20s. The gap closed last year with a reduction in the number of non-permanent residents.
