Well I’m from the US so you’re wrong on that point.
Your quality of comment is what I expect from conservatives who think their feelings are reality and complain about shit without making solid inferences or connections.
It’s a sovereign wealth fund and you’re complaining that one of the larger Canadian companies is included in it because Carney worked there. Then when pressed you say you wish someone else represented your(presumably you’re Canadian) people.
> Perhaps I would have simply had someone different represent Canadians. Is this too much to ask?
This was in reference to Carney. I dont think Carney represents the people very well.
It is not a sovereign wealth fund. The name is intended to clash with a real sovereign wealth fund like say Norway has. Basically you need wealth and Canada has the inverse of wealth it has deficits.
The fund was created (of course) by debt. It is a bit like borrowing to invest in the stock market rather than trying to invest your savings/income. Canada already has massive federal debt due to insane levels of mismanagment.
So why would Canada create such a bizarre 'fund'. Well it is what happens when you put a banker in charge of a country. You get banking solutions to country problems.
So now you see why Carney's career path matters.
This is just the tip of the iceberg. If you want to know more I can link you to many facets that you might find interesting.

Nah I don't. So far I'm batting 11/12 for going down the rabbit hole with anti Carney Canadians before i find out they were in support of the trucker convoy.
Benefit of the doubt is gone if you don't open up with actual thought out critique.
You agree with a group of people that I generally disagree with.
There is the possibility that you are the rare mark that has consistent principles backing these thoughts, but the fact that you are aligned with a group that has consistently shown no consistent principles means I give you zero benefit of the doubt, and you opened the thread with an argument not backed by your later comment about wanting someone else to represent your country.
If you want to convince the other side of your beliefs then you need to start with a solid argument instead of doing a motte and bailey.
I dont know who this Group is but it all sounds very schmittian.
It is not my role to convince someone of anything. I have to much respect for the human for that.
You, as human, should seek out the truth in your time and not turn away from it.
So you mentioned the 'truckers'. Here [0] is the truth in your time. I will make no attempt trick you into holding position.
Finally to complete the picture you should understand that the Carney government was recently formed in opposition to the democratic voice of the people. It was formed by nullifying the votes of the electorate. Everyone on all sides know this was a deeply immoral act. One has to ask what kind of leader is this?
Essentially all the "warning conditions" that come out of austerity are also require a serious lack of safety net. Lack of savings, difficulty of childcare and healthcare, etc.
I think ya'll should count yourselves very very lucky America became such a prolific visible rake stepper.
There were scary scary things abrew, a rapid falling sentiment, festering under the all-too-common Fear Uncertainty and Doubt antagonist politics that is the hallmark of the the conservatism to fascism pipeline.
I'm definitely applying some recency bias here, am not super atuned to the historical zeitgeist of the Canadian people. But there has been, over the years, a lot of strongmen esque not good things. And it seems like last year's election really avoided a very perilous further drop to madness by seeing what all a couple months of madness across the border looked like. Page with some polling numbers, brief in rundown, thar is at least directionally correct: https://www.statista.com/chart/amp/34363/polling-average-can...
But it would be nice to have some retellings of Canada's austerity & how that affected the people over the past two three decades! For sure!
Fascism rise is also associated with perceived inequality rising. So if Canada didn't have a class of folks profiting immensely while others were hit, less fascism.
I love concrete as a medium but that's got to be heavy af and I would manage to smack my elbow on it all the time as well as smash my coffee mug on it.
No, the whole horseshit belongs together of course. Just that the AI slop is the logical culmination of the dumbed down pop-culture of the last 15ish years or so.
