@robrousseau He's talking about Cuba right?

I am so sick of federal liberal mindless drones proping up Carney and defending his neoliberal/conservative agenda. I have never voted conservative provincially or federally. @NoLore breaks down how much we are funding the war machine vs Carney's cuts to science, Indigenous programs and government agencies. Amazing work. noraloreto.substack.com/p/counting-the… "Administrative Tribunals Support Service of Canada 28 positions of 679 total. They will use AI to save money and fill in gaps: “Use of AI to modernize operations and improve access to justice. We will continue to pilot machine learning translation tools to support bilingualism and enhance efficiency. We will also continue to pilot AI for legal research and participate in Shared Services Canada’s CANChat generative AI pilot.” Agriculture and Agri-Foods Canada 655 positions to be cut. Agriculture Climate Solution Living Labs program (started in 2021) will be cut. It was used to try and find ways for carbon sequestering of greenhouse gas (probably ok to cut…) They also plan to close agricultural research centres which investigate how to optimize growing conditions in Canada’s climate. Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency 65 postitions of 579 to be cut. Bureau of Pension Advocates 96 positions will be cut at this office, which helps veterans and RCMP members who have disability appeals. Included in the cuts are 24 lawyers. These were temporary positions created in 2023 to clear a backlog of disability claims, a backlog that has continued to grow. The Veterans Review and Appeal Board received a 40% increase in applications last year. Canada Border Services Agency The plan is to cut 386 positions of a total workforce of 17,234. Canada Revenue Agency They plan to cut 2620 posts over three years. Canada Economic Development for Quebec Region: 24 unionized positions Canada Post Carney plans to privatize it, cutting 99% of its public funding. Canadian Food Inspection Agency To save $235 million in savings over four years, CFIA is going to cut 587 jobs. The Liberals’ federal budget said. that this, “will reduce overlap and duplication within the organization, such as by ensuring accountability for each business line, reducing non-core research activities to focus on high-priority diagnostic methods, and consolidating lab services to focus on essential testing and avoid the need for costly capital upgrades.” Canadian Heritage This department has been told to cut $270M out of its bugdet. They are eliminating 180 jobs of a total department size of 1910 positions. They will cut $76 million out of the Canada Cultural Space Fund, Canada Media Fund, Canada Periodical Fund and Local Journalism Initiatve. They also cut the special envoys for Islamophobia and Antisemitism. Canadian Museum of History, Canadian War Museum 67 positions. Canada School of Public Service 66 positions eliminated through layoffs and retirement. Canadian Spacce Agency Their budget will be cut by one-third, or $400 million. CBC The budget to CBC will be cut by 7%, or $192 million. Correctional Services Canada At least 31 librarians work in the federal prison system. It’s part of a directive to cut $132.2 million by 2028-29. To get towards that goal, these cuts will save $2.4 million. Activists have mobilized to try and get the cuts reversed. From CBC: “The most effective crime prevention strategy that can happen in the prison is to provide more education, more training, more access to reading materials,” said Melissa Munn, a retired professor of criminology at Okanagan College. They also plan to cut 418 positions. cut fewer than 850 jobs. Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada 186 positions to be cut as of December, though CTV notes that the numbers could change. Employment and Social Development Canada The department plans to cut 5411 jobs of a total workforce of 42,520. The hope is to use something they magically refer to as “AI” to make up the service gap that these cuts will result in."

@BadSocialisms I heard leftists want a dictatorship of the proletariat. Sounds pretty evil to me. ( I don't know what the proletariat means, I don't want to look it up )

Is this meant to be some gotcha? If so, then...oops you caught us red handed oh no

@Mike_from_PA Yep. There's a reason you have more Habs fans than Panthers fans in Amerant Bank Arena

What is he doing? LIVING LIFE! When a white Canadian man reaches a certain age, he is drawn to the Floridian cruise ship like a moth to the flame.

fascinated by all the replies from people who appear to be convinced microplastics are ubiquitous because of some sort of chemtrail type conspiracy rather than manufacturers of petroleum-based products correctly assessing they would face no consequences for poisoning the world

Journalist plans to create new archive of residential school survivor stories — before it's too late Connie Walker to get help from law and journalism students to gather and preserve records cbc.ca/news/indigenou…

@David_Moscrop @NoLore Nora Loretto is so on point when she says it's the first time in a long time that Canadians have witnessed "an adult in the room."

One of Mark Carney's superpowers is he reads as absolutely normal and human.

Once again, reason supposedly sovereign nations have to groveling to the US for permission to buy goods from an unrelated third party is because the US dollar is a siege weapon. The transaction can be halted, the money seized, and the Philippines itself sanctioned.

@UncleScottiepoo @RedOxiOxi @TheAgentNDN You bet.

@RimouskanRed @RedOxiOxi @TheAgentNDN Win in a red state and not the deepest blue city in the country without almost getting beaten by a disgraced sex pest and then come talk to me.

Oblivious American liberals entirely unserious and uncurious as to why the United States has no mainstream left

@Wilson__Valdez The congress is majority Republicans. Hating congress is hating Republicans.

Never ever any smoke for Republicans (or Trump) from Ken. Once in a blue moon, there is a Trump post (for engagement). But it's always 'congress' or Democrats. Because he's a (paid) ratfcker.

You Are A Republican

@UncleScottiepoo @RedOxiOxi @TheAgentNDN You mean like Zohran?

@RimouskanRed @RedOxiOxi @TheAgentNDN If you guys were so popular why don’t you ever win any elections? 🤔

@DemonFly666 @UncleScottiepoo @RedOxiOxi @TheAgentNDN I'm perfectly aware of what I'm saying.

@UncleScottiepoo @RimouskanRed @RedOxiOxi @TheAgentNDN It's bizarre,They talk in circles not realizing what the hell they're saying

@UncleScottiepoo @RedOxiOxi @TheAgentNDN The same phenomenon happens for other progressive issues like Medicare for All, unionization, électoral reforms, etc.

@UncleScottiepoo @RedOxiOxi @TheAgentNDN At least not in the same proportion of their base. For example support for Israel amongst the democratic party base is at sub 20% but in Congress it's almost an inverse where 80%-90% of democratic party supports Israel.

@UncleScottiepoo @RedOxiOxi @TheAgentNDN Most voters are yes. But we're talking about class interest of the liberal politicians which are demonstrably not pro working class.

@RedOxiOxi @TheAgentNDN Most liberals are working class, dipshit.

@walkerpj1 @sahouraxo

@sahouraxo This is NOT genocide. the houses are being bulldozed the people have left the area. FYI Hezbollah is a terrorist organization that should be genocided!

Israel’s bulldozers are wiping out civilian homes, tourist sites, and hotels in Naqoura, South Lebanon. Not military targets. South Lebanon is being erased — like Gaza before it. This is an American-backed, American-funded genocide.

@qiaohuanxin @business Correct. In China companies are regulated by arbiters to promote quality products. In America the arbiters are regulated by companies to promote dog water products.

@business while China never prohibited the sales of American cars in China... And Chinese auto industries obviously developed much better than the US.

Ford’s top executive says allowing Chinese automakers to sell their cars in the US would be “devastating” to American manufacturing bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

For the same reason that they comfortably watched the destruction of Gaza.

I’m a Canadian who’s been living in China for a year. We Muslims get by perfectly fine, thanks for the concern. I get compliments for wearing my keffiyeh, and no one here ever called me a terrorist for supporting Palestine.
