Especially when you realize that March 15 is a Saturday.
No doubt this was organized by a Monday-Friday worker who would face no repercussions for this. It just screams “I want to do something without sacrificing anything” while expecting those working weekends to likely sacrifice their jobs and stability. Most people work Monday to Friday. Do it during the week for maximum effect.
I support the idea behind it but until people stop waiting for others to make the sacrifice nobody is mobilising. Even then it’ll be hard to convince people. If somebody wants others to make a sacrifice and stand behind the cause then they should be setting the example and making that sacrifice first. I haven’t really been seeing that.
If the goal of taking shrooms is to forget about what’s happening around the world despite our human potential or the pain of every day life; might I recommend something like meth or heroin instead?
Shrooms at this point will probably just open your mind up to the really dark thoughts you’re subconsciously suppressing and make you more depressed. Tripping on shrooms isn’t something that heals you, it’s the changes you make after the trip that matter.
Also, I’m kidding about doing meth or heroin. Don’t.
Trump is a symptom, not a cause. Of course his rhetoric and abrasive disregard for the law has emboldened others to be more direct in their hate, but if Trump were to die today these problems wouldn’t just magically disappear.
Thats the problem; there’s a lot of people who aren’t thinking the same things that Bernie says. Those people give Trump his power. He’s nothing without a backing.
This wasn’t some wild uprising, though. Canadians vote politicians out, that’s nothing new.
Trudeau and his Liberal party were seen as arrogant and out of touch. I don’t know that Carney is any better in that regard given his ties to the big shitty businesses which are ruining our society, but he’s certainly more financially literate than Trudeau was and people want that right now. He’s certainly qualified for the job.
Russia can eat a dick, but Liberal governments are spending enough time eating their own faces. They need to earn back the trust of their populace if they want to beat back Russian influence because these conditions are what makes it so easy.
…the voters did when polled or asked. There’s other reasons but that is a big one.
For question two, the rest of the Liberal party decided that.
Like, are you at all informed about Canadian politics at the moment or are you just shooting from the hip?
Edit: Carney is not a politician, btw. I mean, sure, now he is. But that’s not his background. He is an outsider politically speaking.
Thanks for your well rounded contribution. Yes, in the context it was written, he is a political outsider. No need to be so sensitive about it.
I’m of the opinion he will be more of the same while being quieter about things than Trudeau was, but people sort of want some financial literacy within government and Trudeau’s Liberals were not that. Carney certainly wouldn’t be my first choice but looking at the other options it’s not rocket science to see why he was chosen.
He’s a political outsider. I’d love to hear about all of the political experience he has that don’t make him an outsider POLITICALLY. I’ll wait.
Mark Carney is 100% pro status quo, pro establishment, pro big business. We can agree on that without being so dramatic.
And if we can’t avoid being dramatic, then I’ll pose a dramatic question based on your response in a manner similar to your responses. If Mark Carney IS the system, then our problems go away if he’s not elected, right? After all, you said he IS the system, not a part of it.
