Canada is a Petro-State, and despite his awareness of the coming crash, Carney has accepted the job of keeping the owners of the tar sands in mansions and out of jails for as long as possible, whatever the collateral damage.
Like many I was relieved to see the Liberals and with them Mark Carney prevail in the federal election; I thought his legacy was seeing the whole picture :-the fact that the economy depends on people and the natural environment not the other way around. Now I am wondering does Carney really have a strategic negotiation plan? To be clear; When sadism , cynicism and brutal greed rule and are admired, it is impossible for any politician to get back to humane principles . What is needed is the support of the people to risk "the economy" ( which is bound to falter anyway )and demand an economy that has a footing in the real world: materials , energy peoples skills and ingenuity. Disallow monopolies, uncover financial schemes, have corporation pay for doing business instead of luring them with ever more concessions. This means people who have big portfolios or even moderate ones need to see sharing is essential.
I appreciate Lloyd Axworthy’s comments. I fear that our hard earned and maintained democracy is being swiftly eroded. To ram through the most recent Bill of legislation is NOT DEMOCRATIC without opportunity for public comment and revision.I am very disappointed in Mark Carney’s behaviour.
Our very source of life being THE ENVIRONMENT gets NO MENTION. THE ENVIRONMENT upon which human kind depend for the life giving gifts of clean air water and earth gets NO MENTION. Also ABORIGINAL needs due to our careless handling of their land, like creating and continuing support for businesses which pollute these gifts, the very sources of healthy life gets NO MENTION.
Yes I am very uneasy with the dilly dallying with President Trump . Any of his nature will continue unless stood up to with consistency of position. I do not want my tax dollars to be put into excessive armaments, nor into creating delivery systems of fuel when other sources are ignored and danger of the delivery system breaking and polluting more of out life giving sources.
I am a scared Canadian who has observed governments for most of my 90 plus years. I want the kind of Canada I have had during my lifetime.
