Canada@lemmy.ca•Liberals reach 48%, highest since April 2016, as approval for Carney government remains strong - Abacus Data
3·9 hours agoLPC is passionately bashed here far more often than any other party.
Sure there are partisans, but there’s a large number that isn’t loyal to any political party and wants the best for average, working class Canadians.
Carney is slowly becoming the new Justin with the bullshit he keeps pulling.

1·9 hours agoYea, she’s Ontario NDP leader and a good one at that.
OP didn’t mix it up. They said specifically yo replace Avi with Stiles at the federal level. That doesn’t mean she is a federal politician, but it’d be nice if she was the federal NDP leader.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Kinew says it's time for Canada to abolish the Indian Act
2·10 hours agoFirstly, I doubt most people actually believe an all trans, 100% indigenous-only, unelected assembly will ever happen. Nor should it, frankly. Not if you want to live in a democracy.
Secondly, nothing i said suggests i consider anyone to be either noble or a savage. I certainly don’t think anyone is a “noble savage”. That’s white supremacist talk and I’m not in sync with them at all.
In this country, they got some of the worst treatment possible. Generations grew old without being allowed to learn their own language and culture. Compare this to Indians. (insert racist dot and feather reference here).
Indians also got colonized. Enslaved. Brutalized. Stripped of their sovereignty, dignity, wealth and much more. Yet we have kids born in Canada who speak various languages of India that their families teach them. You can take various elective classes to learn languages of Asia in many Canadian high schools. You barely see one anywhere teaching indigenous languages in most districts.
Native folks did suffer pretty fkn bad. If you think their plight is even remotely similar to what white south africans suffered at the hands of British fktards then you should stop listening to Musk, Rogan, Schultz, Gillis and the rest of that white supremacist manosphere.
You’re allowed to wear religious headgear from Asia and ride a motorcycle without a helmet in various provinces. Indigenous religious headgear does not get the same treatment or respect in this country.
Brampton gets clean water in every house and apartment. Blood Reserve doesn’t.
…frankly, I get the feeling that you hate Brampton as well as Blood Reserve dwellers equally. Lol.
Cheer up, muffin. Stop being such a wet/smallpox blanket. It’s okay to celebrate our fellow countrymen of all persuasions. Except the “second sons” and other white supremacists. Fk them with rusty canadian pacific railway spikes.
These greedy fks are gonna act shocked and blame the voters if maple-MAGA ends up winning the next general election.
There is no “nation” if citizens are alienated and disenfranchised to the point where the majority stops caring.
Not saying Pierre PP cares. Which is why he was kept away from the PM’s office by the majority. People might not be as passionate about keeping them away from power next time.
For the NDP and Green fans, no your party isn’t winning. You got unelectable leaders too and majority doesn’t actually care about most of the random niche issues that NDP partisans hold dear.
When people can’t feed their family or afford rent, they stop giving a flying fk about bike lanes, palestine, pronouns, old growth forests, climate change, islamophobia, or whatever else. NDP cares more about random foreign and fringe issues than the workers and poor citizens of this country.
It really depends.
As I said earlier, Marlaina is on record supporting “remigration”.
Most cons support and turn a blind eye to their racist base. Even if they don’t outright say anything racist towards non-white citizens, their actions speak louder than words.
because Eby wanted to retire
Is this some weird NDP cope for shitting the bed?
Moron could’ve just stepped down instead of pulling the stunt he did.
He could’ve let someone else take over. Instead he ran again and tried to win. That’s a weird move if he genuinely wanted to retire.
Which one?
Alvin Tedjo seems like an okay politician. Olivia got re-elected. Isn’t that something worth celebrating?
He’s only “liberal” in the sense that he doesn’t hate lgbt+ and non-white citizens.
Mainstream Conservative parties nowadays do openly hate lgbt+ and non-white citizens. If not enough to expell/“remigrate” then enough to make them all second or third tier citizens.
In case of Alberta, the premier is on record supporting the deportation of non-white Canadians, which is what remigration is. Marlaina and UCP are full blown white supremacists who support remigration.

British Columbia@lemmy.ca•B.C.'s Conservative party just won a majority. Here's what it means for the environment
1·1 day agoCommunism is a stupid, archaic idea that has not and will never work. It’s no different than chasing an ‘islamic utopia’ or a Mormon ‘zion’.
I’m with you on most of it with some caveats. You can’t build strong social nets and public services with local taxes and then open the floodgates to everyone in the world. You either limit access to the services and benefits for those who didn’t pay or severely limit immigration. Can’t have both simultaneously.
This isn’t to say “immigrants are the reason Canada has issues” but I’m not naive enough to pretend immigration itself doesn’t affect anything at all. Both negative as well as positive.
NDP and Green Party are ideological parties that pretend to be for the workers but they’re only in it for themselves and their unrealistic, fanciful delusions. Exactly as you said, they’re people in power who are not for the people.

4·1 day agothey are still people
Never claimed or believed otherwise.
go talk to some actual indigenous people
Went to school with them. Lived and worked with them, for them and alongside them for years.
European blood is far from clean
You forgot that racist, white supremacist POS Winston Churchill. He killed millions and then laughed at them and their misery. No different from his cousin Adolf.
EU blood not looking too good
Which is why the assembly should be 100% indigenous blood.

1·1 day agoWhy does NDP or Green Party always fail find a “real progressive” leader time and time again?
Why do you hide behind the “progressive” label? Why not outright own the fact that you want full blown communism? Cuz it seems you want full blown “everyone is equal but some are more equal than others” communism.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Kinew says it's time for Canada to abolish the Indian Act
81·2 days agoIndian act wasn’t about treaties. Supreme Court has done a better job upholding the rights and treaties of indigenous folks in recent years than the any government assigned “Indian Agents” ever did.
It reduces all indigenous people down to “Indians”. It was put in place with the intent to control and “civilize the savages”. It’s racist and an insult to the intelligence and abilities of people like Wab Kinew, P.J. Akeeagok, Jody Wilson-Raybould and many more to pretend like the Indian Act accomplishes anything positive.

Sucks that Jody Wilson-Raybould got thrown under the Canadian Pacific Railway by The Most Feminist Prime Minister™. She should’ve been the first!

He’s talking about abolishing the paternalistic, racist law altogether. Not replace it.
Our other option was christian-nationalists.
