Actually, using inclusive language is good, supporting asylum seekers is good, being an empathetic person is good. I won’t be swayed on these truths because this degenerative capitalist society of ours thinks the wind is blowing the other way

Btw, if you're a Carney loyalist who has rationalized everything he's done and told the rest of us to keep quiet, you own what's happening now and what will happen in the next election.

one thing i feel like you’re seeing across nato countries with this new 5% of gdp defense spending goal is an attempt to pull more civilian agencies under the defense umbrella so it counts toward the goal.
feels like a bad shift to put so much of society effectively on a war footing though.

Desperately clung-to hypothesis: Carney is acting purely in the interest of average Canadians and is a 4D chess playing genius.
Alternative hypothesis: Carney is a banker and just here to enrich extractive, tech, and defense industries.
Which is consistent with basically all observation to date? 🤔

The Welfare we spend too much on is billionaires.
Now a person working in London 40 hours a week earning the Minimum Wage £28,392 a year pays 12.4% tax on their total wage.
12,590/28,392*0.28
Yet nearly 25% of people earning £8m or more in the UK pay less than 1% tax.
