Marc "ACAB" GodinMark Carney and a few of his friends could fund Canada Post with pocket change.
It's fucking miserly and small how at every level these men in suits with 6+-figure bank accounts claw back every single tiny crumb from the rest of us with every single breath they take.
Mark Carney sleeps well at night when I dunno if I'll be able to afford sending christmas cards this year, lol.
I want fucking free stamps, free transit, and free housing like a civilized community would do for its own people before sending bullets to a genocidal and war-hungry regime for "self-defense".
I DON'T want our RCMP and military and politicians going to learn about how Israel tortures and kills people more efficiently.
I will support the ONE political party WHEN WE FIND IT that can tax these fuckers and defund the machines of death they keep building with every intent to use on us. Where's that ONE party that can loudly be against genocide AND for taxing the rich out of fucking existence. Where's that party. That's the one.
I'd like a party that campaigns on 100% taxing the rich and dissassembling the media, energy, agriculture, telecom, grocery, and housing monopolies so the folks who live, work, and die here - no matter where they were born - can fucking get on with that.
I doubt the NDP is on that track because no one is flipping out yet. When the NDP start making everyone flip out, that's when I'll know they're taking their role seriously, maybe.
dialogic@quietmarc I think if Avi Lewis is elected NDP leader at the end of the month you'll see some of that. He's already ruffling the centrist feathers.
Uzi Bobuzi@quietmarc They'll never be viable in this system.
I had a friend run for mayor as a Green. When they had town halls and debates, none of the "third party" candidates were invited, because it would take too much time to include them.
@ruemaleficent I was preparing a post about the very-Canadian "pragmatism" (actually defeatism) and I'm grateful for you to provide an example.
@quietmarc You're welcome. My example is from the SF Bay Area but it probably applies everywhere.
@ruemaleficent I apologize for entering your thread and being vague about which political system I was talking about while you were complaining about your own.
@quietmarc Haha I was the invader in *your* thread without seeing the whole thing, so apologies to you as well.
@ruemaleficent Nothing is viable here, too bad oh well.
@quietmarc Until we compost all the billionaires and seize their wealth, that's the boat we're in.
