    No seduction is involved. The masses go where the billionaire influencers direct them to go because the masses are largely stupid.

        Pardon me, I didn’t realize throwing money at stupid people was the same thing as skillful rebranding to appeal to thoughtful voters.

    Now that the election is safely over I’m hoping Canadians can admit that Carney is an internationalist banker who’s going to be an even worse failure than Trudeau. If not you’re just going to get a Doug Ford supermajority as soon as the minority government collapses.

      I like the part where my fellow leftists don’t know WTF a central bank is, and fall into using long-standing Nazi dogwhistles for fun.

      Definitely makes me think there’s a real chance for the left to ever do anything meaningful, and not just sit around jerking off all day while getting high off of our own farts.
