This is how the Liberals will get the Conservatives elected.
"Graves told The Hill Times that level of despair is the worst he has seen since he began polling in the mid-1990s.
"In the main sample of 2,078 respondents, 68 per cent said they believe “most politicians in Canada care about helping corporations and financial elites than helping the people”—a sentiment expressed by 78 per cent of those under the age of 35."

I think Mulroney was the start of much more cynical politics in Canada, and then Chretien cemented it. After that, elections didn't matter as much because both main parties made their lies obvious, and both embraced neoliberal economics.

“Over $500 trillion in value was wiped out of the S&P last week. According to my calculations, by August the entire United States of America will be worth about $3,500, CAD.”
Once purchased by Canada at “rock bottom prices”, Carney explains that America would immediately become the 11th Canadian province.
“Or the 4th territory, depending on how we’re feeling that day,” added Carney."

This is why I want the NDP holding the balance of power. Carney will shovel money at corporations, this has the slim hope it would be Crown Corporations. [If the Greens held power, for sure it would be Crown Corporations.]

Fellow Canucks, do not go to the USA:
"In multiple instances since mid-February, families with young children have been detained in cells at the Rainbow Bridge in Niagara Falls.
"An Investigative Post reporter personally confirmed one of those family detentions. In that case, the family was held for two weeks."

This is a weak argument given that Trudeau was a drama teacher and he did okay with the economy.

Musk is such a galaxy brain:

"An hour later, Slim announced that he would transfer his projects for the next 5 years with Starlink, an investment of 22 billion dollars, to companies in China and Europe."

He outright called Trump a fascist and proposed this:

In brief: 3 big companies provide shift work gigs to nurses. At least one of these companies checks the nurse's credit report and the more desperate that looks, the lower the wage offered.

So:
I think everyone agrees that #Trump is highly transactional. Everything for him is a deal where he wants to win - and ideally hurt the loser. Everything he does is like this.
Yet:
Trump gave #Ukraine to Russia, disbanded many threats that were countering Russian disinformation, has essentially ended #nato , and many other literal gifts to Putin.
For:
Literally nothing.
Unless:
Putin has serious #Kompromat on Trump that even as President he can’t handle. Why else?

Fun fact: sociopaths rarely suffer from things like depression, so there's a good chance Elon is lying to gain sympathy. Of course, every time #Musk talks there's a good chance he's lying, as sociopaths are also shameless liars.
