[Canada] Canadian Politics Redux

[crazy canuck]

The Feds have announced a 400 million dollar investment in the Tech refinery in Trail BC, to fund the expansion of production of antimony, gallium and other metal I can't remember.

The funding is coming from the Canadian Growth Fund, and so the government is taking an equity stake.

I have to say, I find little to be offended about regarding Carney's government. To be fair, though, I haven't been looking either.

There are a whole bunch of non-Conservative politics and behaviours I find unacceptable, so it's not the only reason.

And there are Conservative ways of governing that I can be at peace with.

I am not sure what being Conservative means if Carney is that close.

I would've understand small c, but not capital C.

Note I'm not saying it's a bad thing.  As I get older I find I'm becoming a bit more conservative. In 15 years I think I'll be on the same page as BB

That's what I was thinking. I think it is accurate to call Carney a small c conservative. But I think there is a wide gap between him and the political positions of the capital C Conservative Party in this country.

Yeah, agreed.

We've had this discussion before. The Conservative Party has moved further to the right, and so have the Libs...there's been sort of a shift along the political spectrum.

today, yes, there is still a gap because of how Poilièvre shifted the party toward a MAGA agenda.

Yes, exactly.  And I don't see a road back from that political stance for that party in the near to medium future.

At least this PM is doing a good job on foreign relations.  Nothing to complain there.
