Nah, sell at high price without giving up production control to US interests. Use the money to strenghten defence and improve Venezuelans material conditions. Make it exceedingly difficult for the US to repeat kidnappings.

Agreed. What’s happening in the NDP now is prep for a few years from now. It’s also why I find focus and critique of the electability of the new leader today is misguided.

Combine that with the sharp pain this is about to bring:

Perhaps the contradictions between Israel’s interest and Trump’s voter base’s would finally reach a breaking point and the US would slap Israel and ragequit the war?

Are they now about to discover there are other people who are itching to take his place? IRGC people for example.

Of fuck, that rings a bell. I had forgotten abt it.

Could you give a one-liner on what Chorus is?

Gotta make his nut.

Well that’s surprising.

Do you have realistic hope Build Canada Homes would be effective in significantly increasing housing construction with its current strategy?

Assuming Carney doesn’t make people’s lives better.

Of course. I’m skeptical for myriad of reasons but I hope things turn optimistic. I maxed out my political contribution limits to get him in power instead of having a Freeland-lead LPC lose to PP. Wouldn’t mind getting a bit more than no-PP for it. 😂

Can still win when Carney expires though, which is a matter of time for any politician. There’s no losing if the alternative is more underwater than him. His core base is pretty solid and over 30%.

I was closely following this and I did NOT expect this high of a number. I expected a high number but 87 is crazy and bad sign for the Reformacons. 😅

It signifies that the party membership is a bit disconnected from the conservative voter pool. CPC - the party - numbers are much higher with voters than PP’s.

Feels like a big opportunity for the NDP, honestly.

Also a necessity. Carney will expire at some point and PP could win as “the only realistic option.” Kinda how Ford won in Ontario in election after election against lame ducks. I’m not comparing Ford’s political charisma to PP at all, but in a Wynne-like Liberal meltdown scenario, PP might win. Which is why it’s very important that we choose a decent leader fot the NDP and strenghten the party for the next election.

Eh? What happened? I don’t know how the CPC election process works in detail.

Fun facts - Naomi “Shock Doctrine” Klein is his wife and his grandpa was the national secretary of the CCF.

I paid good money to help prevent PP. Boy do I feel like money well spent rn…

That said now trying to help the NDP reform and regain support and power.

Interesring take on the Board of Peace. Participate to influence instead of flipping the table. Perhaps he’s right. That way he won’t be vulnerable to “you don’t support peace” and he’ll be able to credibly discredit the initiative if (likely) it fails to achieve peace, having participated.

Harsh words were spoken. Necessary. Didn’t find almost anything I disagree with.

Countries earn the right to principled stance by reducing their vulnerability to retaliation.

Goddamn.
