THE PAIKIN PODCAST: Prime Minister Pierre Poilievre? He’ll get another shot

Hi endofthrones,Why should Canada pursue a trade "deal" with a country that has proven time and again that it is not agreement-capable? I would rather that we diversify our trading partners, and make friends with the rest of the world, than rely on a single country for our economic well-being.

Both bills are terrible. Red tape is a good thing because it is one of the few times that citizens get to participate in decisions that affect them.

Looks like tax cuts and privatization for the owners, landlords, and rentiers while it is austerity and public service cuts for the working class. Both wings of our Imperialist Party (Liberals and Conservatives, as well as their donor class) must love this. More war. More pollution. We, the working class, have been tightening out belts since Chrétien failed to implement the peace dividend. It's time for the landlords, rentiers, and the rest of the FIRE sector to get a haircut.

This should be Canada's only military concern. Russia and China cannot invade Canada because there is an ocean in between us. As soon as their troops are in boats on the way over, they are sitting ducks. Missile technology has made the aircraft carrier (and to a major extent the Navy) targets instead of assets. The Americans also only practice zero-sum wins; either they get everything or no one gets anything. This means that once they have exhausted attacking all of the "*hithole countries", they will turn to Mexico and Canada. Our only saving grace is that the military of the USA is only good at killing non-combatants (see: Korea, Vietnam, Panama, Iraq several times, Afghanistan, the Ukraine, Palestine...). I see the Americans engaging in a civil war before attacking Canada or Mexico but we still need to be prepared to defend our country (instead of setting up bases in Latvia to attack other countries).

The Conservatives are one side of our two-headed imperialist coin (the Liberals are the other side while the NDP flip flop between both sides). Without a party acting as the tails side of the coin, which is a transition to socialism (it could also be a reversion to feudalism but I do not see that happening), the working class will be stuck with continuous recessions, depressions, austerity, and precarity.

Hi Yonko,Do not forget that Communist China is the largest economy in the world so that means they are better at capitalism than us!!!
