“What we’re looking to do with all the tools we have is to catalyze building of this economy. If there are some assets that the federal government has that can help with that process, we’ll look at it as part of a comprehensive approach,” Carney said.

    Yeah that sounds about right with this guy at this point.

    Imagine if we had an NDP government instead. Though I get why people didn’t want Singh, he was okay but not quite the right fit.

    This Avi guy though, I like what I’m seeing from him. Maybe he’ll give the NDP a fighting chance the way Layton did.

      What Lewis has figured out, which Singh did not, is the NDP need to be seen as a real alternative to CPC and Liberals. Some people may not care for his policies, but they absolutely offer that alternative.

        They always have, but it wasn’t packaged well enough. I remeber Andrea horvath, she was blunt and “unlikeable” who gives a fuck. Are her policies sound? Yes, then that’s all we need.

          I want someone to be blunt about how much corporate interests and billionaires fuck us all over. But people have that boot too deep down their throats to listen.

            There is also the fact that people are apathetic, and people aren’t politically aware.a failure of the education system

              True enough, which is part of right wing strategy. Gut public funding for anything that benefits average people in favour of private institutions that they just so happen to have stake in.

              They make more money while ruining education and support systems for the poors.

              Then they pump them full of fascist propaganda to make them hate their peers of other skin tones and blame them for being poor instead of the owners keeping them down every chance they get.

              So we either get people who are too apathetic to pay any attention or those who falsely believe they’ll benefit by allowing the owner class to own more and more. Keeping people constantly distracted with bullshit morality plays.
