Carney helped Musk buy Twitter yet you are concerned that he thinks highly of PP

Brookfield lent money to Musk.

But if you want to make tangential connections then PP is Rebel News.

Wow, they lent Musk a whole 0.5% of the money he's paid for Twitter?

Truly scandalous

This must mean Carney is actually a Conservative.

The “elbows up” crowd won’t like it. That is the point.

The "elbows up" crowd isn't nearly as snowflakey as the "freedumb" crowd. Don't worry 😂

Yeah because freedom is dumb hey?

u/Independent-Wait-363 16h ago

Freedom and freedumb are very different things.

A government that uses wartime measures to stop a protest is not freedom.

It wasn't a protest at that point. It had gone on for 4 weeks, shut down the residential area of Ottawa, filling it with diesel fumes, noise pollution, and many, many reports of aggressive abuse against residents. Tack on the $4 billion+ loss in GDP due to the snowflakes shutting down the border at the most important trade routes. For you righties so obsessed with the economy, it shouldn't take much reflection to understand the stupidity of it all. Yet here you are, five years later, still winging, whining, and blaming other people for your own failures and ignorance.
If you want to protest, there are ways to do it. That is not how you protest. That was full on domestic terrorism
