    1. Right leaning people are still people/canadians whose needs and contributions matter. Appealing to them is not the same as doing their bidding.

    2. Transitioning to renewables doesn’t mean zero new oil/gas infrastructure. 100% renewables is simply NOT an option yet. Given the world’s tendency to adopt Canadian standards, there are positives to Canada becoming an energy leader.

    Making everything about the party leader is the level of thinking that MAGA operates on. I simply cannot respect opinions that ignore the larger context and conflate individuals with entire countries.

      Ah, I see, you’re OK with it because you like the policy.

      My original post didn’t say it was concerning though, so I’m not sure why you responded as though it did.

      Edit: also, you seem to be following me around different Lemmy communities with a 3-hour-old account. Any reason for that?

        WTF no I’m not. I’m replying to you on this post.

        It’s a small ass community. If you’re posting lots than we’re gonna cross paths.

        edit: ohhhh you posted the linked in post as well. Ya no I’m not following you. Hadn’t even realized you were the same person.

        That’s not what I said. You need to differentiate between acknowledgements and endorsements. Those statements are facts, not my wishes.

        You sound like someone who’s never been in a position of responsibility. Who’s never had to make a decision knowing that someone would be upset or even harmed.

        I have written multiple letters regarding Bills C-2 and C-5 griping their lack of oversight and potential over reach. Also wrote letters about his whole, “No budget” plan.

        This is policy. We can hold our politicians accountable without devolving conversations to gossip and ad hominins.

          OK, well, it really seemed like you were defending the PM’s policy direction. Even as I re-read what you wrote, I’m struggling to find an alternative explanation.

          Anyway if the political game is to pander to what people are demanding, then isn’t it the role of the people to be vocal about what they want?

          If you are as worried about Bills C-5 and C-2 as you say, then why defend the PM being nice to Premier Smith, who many Liberals were literally calling a traitor just a couple months ago?

          Why defend the PM being nice to Doug Ford, who is trying to ram through anti-democratic “special economic zones” legislation in Ontario’s Bill 5?
