“His entire leadership campaign” meaning literally the last three weeks? This is the opposite of a hot take, like, a Cold Give. That really doesn’t work as a figure of speech, but I guess that makes it perfect for Pierre to steal and use himself.

The richest man in the world needs more money, of course. Enough is never enough.

Who cares? LLMs are more hype than fact, and even if true, this will change in a couple weeks

All by design. Divide and conquer

I immerse mine in vinegar for 24hrs, once every decade. Really solves the problem

Straight outta the Project 2025 playbook

Only if he decides to go Full Luigi

Ooooo, fundraising, that’ll help

Kevin O’Leary enters the chat, unable to disguise his hatred for the working class

Too early to tell, but at least PP has stopped trying to “make Canada great again” and he’s abandoned his Trumpian language somewhat.

Serious question, does it actually resonate with people with he continually throws around nicknames like “Carbon Tax Carney” or “Sell Out Singh”? I can’t stand that kind of disrespectful rhetoric no matter who uses it, but just curious if others find it appealing

Are you shitting me? This is beyond preposterous

An important distinction. “Loan” feels like the wrong headline word to go with them; perhaps “budget” would be more accurate

Exactly this. All that “free market” talk always seems full of promise and idealism and then the government OKs subsidies like this and it’s just naked corporatism through and through.

I always preferred CFL rules tbh

It’s all by design. Enough is never enough for these companies. They’d burn the world to the ground if it made them an extra dollar

Cripes, what an asshole

Despite the black line covering his eyes, I can still tell: This Is Timothy.

Is… Is that something he’s done before?

In America, people may have to pay over $1000 a month for health insurance, which may or may not even cover all their medical needs. People still need Bank accounts; cities are built without public transportation so vehicles are required just for the ability to feed and clothe yourself. This isn’t a “consumer” issue, this is a systemic structures of our civilization issue, where the needs of the many are less of a concern to politicians than the loudest voices of the few.

Nevermind lobbyists writing laws wholesale; supply chain management systems owned end to end by single companies; and Wall Street / vulture capitalists destroying companies (and lately hospitals!?!) to extract their wealth.

We need to structure civilization so that Money isn’t the only, single end goal of all endeavors; and we need to ensure that Greed is kept in check.

Poverty exists not because we can’t feed the poor, but because we can’t satisfy the rich.

I mean, build a country with a functional economy and social mobility, and maybe people will feel more pride
