    Capitalists are gonna have a meltdown when we’ll have to implement the 4 weeks minimum paid vacation, banked overtime with a yearly limit, bretter minimum wage, tougher regulations on food and environment protection. Etc.

      I’ll probably get called entitled, but even 3 weeks isn’t enough, and I know that’s more than many people get.

      Yet i can get behind this framework as something good for the population. It’s like a NDP program but more realistic and with economic growth with our peers as a target.

      This year (most years) i will vote Liberal but i did vote NDP on and off in the past and my circumscription changes from red to orange often in the last two decades.

        I’m still voting NDP. We can still get a minority liberal government with a strong NDP coalition.

          No. Unless they change a party ked by Singh is not getting my vote. I’m not even sure about the liberals yet we’ll have to see what he does so far not looking good. And cons are a no.

            Yeah… Just learned this week Carney has ties to Ghislaine Maxwell (or his wife rather). Jeffrey Epstein’s right hand.

            Isn’t it funny how all these rich elites all have ties to that motherfucker? I don’t want to be a conspiracy theorist, but man it’s getting difficult.

              This is the first I’ve heard of it. Can you share your source, please? I want to see it myself whether it’s reputable before I form an opinion.

        I’ve always been an NDP voter but my anxiety about Cons winning might push a liberal vote from me this time. I don’t love it, but I am also just terrified.

          It’s a shame really. I’m not a fan of PP by any means. But he’s right when he says it’s going to be more of the same, i fear.

            That is my fear. I don’t want more of the same. I want less immigration but neither party is running on that.

      Fucking worth the extra taxes. The EU isn’t perfect, but they’re still sane enough to back.

      Fun fact, Canadians can legislate these things on our own, without having to also adopt a whole bunch of European dysfunction.

        Not with the U.S. right next to us we can’t. Every time we push to have better conditions, companies start throwing a tantrum and threatening to move to the U.S. Then that throws the politicians into panic and they never implement anything. I don’t know if this tarif war or conflct with the U.S. is gonna change that.

          Any company that moves to the states loses Canada and the EU as trading partners. I say let them leave, minimizing your customer base is very hot with the fascists right now

          This makes the current moment perfect, because the US is not becoming more attractive to companies, in fact it’s discouraging new companies, only the absurdly big ones who are already established there have some chances of profiting from this chaos

        Actually, it’s a prerequisite for getting into the European dysfunction.

        Why does everyone think it’s a binary choice somehow?
