  • Excellent article. Good to see parts of the European centre-left stirring.

  • Canada increased holdings of U.S. debt by 27% last year

  • It gives us a "nuclear button" where we can threaten with massive sell-offs that could tank the value of US bonds. To counter it they would have to basically raise interest rates and/or print money. Sure it would hurt us too, but not before hurting them more. Now if you also place this in a context of coordination with other debt owners (Europeans, Chinese), we can really hurt them.

  • But isn't this also leverage?

  • Holy shit, they have managed to make computing a capital-intensive industry, like biotech or manufacturing.

  • We need to break the back of far right organizing in the military. This is not a joke, it's an existential threat to our democracy.

    Beyond dishonourable discharges of fascists (and banning them from joining any kind of armed force, eg police in the future), we need a serious and aggressive EDI recruitment policy. I know that the MAGAs and the Poilievrites use EDI as a slur. Which is EXACTLY why we should make it a core tenet of army recruitment. Disgust them, keep them out. And in the meantime, train a new generation of Canadian professional soldiers that are comitted to our constitutional multiculturalism and are as diverse as Canada.

  • There is literally no mention in the article about how many Iranians military or civilian have been killed.

    Fucking solipsistic Yankees man. And this is even supposed to be their respectable centrist media outlet. Non-american lives just don't matter to them.

  • You and I have talked about this exact topic before. You seemed to think my arguments about the financialization of housing were ... gaslighting.

  • Oh I'm not at all against this. I am absolutely for it. What I'm against is the trumpist-smelling anti-immigration rhetoric of the right and the centre.

  • Weren't we just being inundated with right wing talking points about how the population of our country had risen too quickly and we had to severely curtail immigration? And now we do this?

    So, one is to surmise that the problem was really that the population increase did not have the desirable... hue?

  • Your statement that this gets more attention than killings of civilians is not as obviously true as you make it. This is the first thread on Lemmy I've seen for example specifically discussing the ship whereas I've seen multiple others discussing the school bombing. So I'm not sure I know what you're talking about here.

    About the other two, again I'm not sure where you're getting at. You're digging your heels on what exactly? That people should not be upset about this? My points 2 and 3 tried to describe some reasons why people might feel upset. Your point is what? "Fuck your feelings"? I mean ok, you can say that, but then what?
