Translation: Quick! Delegitimize the obvious suffering of #NeoliberalParadise, before the rubes start to understand this is a symptom, not a root cause!

Restoring sanity to MAID laws in Canada will protect them

Danielle Smith’s move to restrict medical assistance in dying to those with terminal illnesses would bring MAID back to its original purpose

The new reality for white-collar workers: lower pay

After getting laid off, many professionals are being forced to take jobs with much lower salaries than what they were earning before.

"But his policy solutions are almost always an intensification of the neoliberalism that he claims to reject. In office, Carney has pushed for austerity on social policy, much greater military spending, and new trade agreements to shore up globalization."

Rather, the entire structure of society and economy will be torn apart in order to MAKE it work, imho. #NeoliberalParadise demands it.

More Canadian billionaires than ever though, so this is actually GOOD news in #NeoliberalParadise.

Nearly half of Canadians are living paycheque to paycheque: new survey https://www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/consumer-alert/article/new-survey-finds-nearly-half-of-canadians-are-living-paycheque-to-paycheque/

New survey finds nearly half of Canadians are living paycheque to paycheque

"As the U.S. slide into authoritarianism continues, Canadians must look in the mirror. It is not enough to simply acknowledge that the rules-based international order is ending – we must think long and hard about why it failed and how we can forge a different path.

One thing that should be clear is the intimate link between economic wealth and political power. It is no coincidence that authoritarianism is rising in one of the countries with the highest levels of income and wealth inequality in the world, and the greatest number of billionaires. Extreme wealth gives rise to extreme power, undermining democracy."

Countering that is never going to be very pragmatic, unfortunately. However, Canada added *nine* billionaires between 2024 and 2025 according to Forbes. So, #NeoliberalParadise ain't goin' NOWHERE!

Can American car companies survive American politics?

The Biden administration was all in on EVs. The Trump administration pulled the plug, ahem, on government support. How is the US car industry dealing with the whiplash.

@cass_m I don't see why royalties aren't tied to employment numbers, but that wouldn't be #NeoliberalParadise if they were

As always with the magic beans du jour in #NeoliberalParadise, it's even BETTER if they don't work. Since destroying truth is the most important thing, like "this is actually a GOOD thing..."
