yeah she’ll most likely lose. go national how though? she might be able to take a step down to be a federal mp (and that’s still a maybe as to whether she could win a riding nomination), but no way in hell she’d ever win ndp leadership, every passing year that climate change gets worse makes her staying in politics as a “progressive” less likely. maybe she could be mayor of edmonton, but would she really want to take a step down like that, probably not ..read more

Hundreds of Canadian children held in immigration detention, report shows: Between 2011 and 2015, 241 Canadian children were held at the Toronto Immigration Holding Centre alone, according to the report. Normally Canadian citizens cannot be subject to detention under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. These children became de facto detainees because they were in the care of a parent who was detained and is a foreign national or permanent resident. The children cannot, however, have their own detention review hearings. As a result they become “legally invisible,” according to the repo ..read more

a settler aristocracy extending and deepening control over indigenous land to extract valuable natural resources, and importing temporary labourers from the global south without granting them citizenship, while simultaneously gloating about how multicultural and tolerant and benevolent this aristocracy is - sums up canadian politics pretty well. everyone wants to fuck trudeau bc canadian politicians are usually the most boring and bland capitalist mangers. it’s just low expectations ..read more

Kinder Morgan execs Ian Anderson and David Safari offered $1.5 million bonuses under Trudeau bailout: allthecanadianpolitics: Two executives at the Canadian unit of Texas-based Kinder Morgan are poised to cash in with $1.5 million bonuses after Ottawa offered to bailout their west coast oil pipeline system and expansion project, according to a new filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

to reiterate from that ask in shorter form: to build the pipeline will require massive, sustained violence by the state against protestors and indigenous communities. standing rock in a major population centre. it will dwarf the war in the woods and be more reminiscent of the oka crisis. if you’ve accepted that then you can’t pretend this pipeline is for “progressive” purposes. if you can’t accept that level of violence, then this is a $5-$20 billion bailout and a waste of a decision that should never have been made, even if you approve of the pipeline ..read more

I asked to receive a response, not to be derided. All I want is to have a civil conversation and discuss this stuff. And yeah I believe him, because after seeing how this country works, this is the way to get shit done. I dont like it as much as anyone else but if you think Canada is gunna elect a majority NDP government in one year and establish great rltns w indigenous peoples, guess again. Compromise is the means of action in the real world w the State apparatus as it is. Not changing soon.

why have you brought up the ndp in every single ask? i don’t give a shit about them and it’s not the topic yet you keep bringing them up. is it because you can’t actually defend trudeau’s actions on their own merits?  “we can’t just establish great relations with indigenous people right now so we have to do colonialism!” is a pretty wild statement. don’t really think anyone saying that gets to talk about what’s “progressive” or not honestly though you’re still not acknowledging the fact that this pipeline will never actually be completed. trudeau can compromise with the ruling class ..read more

emmagoldman42: ** THE KINDER MORGAN BAILOUT IS A DECLARATION OF WAR BY CANADA AGAINST INDIGENOUS PEOPLES ** A declaration of war has been issued against Indigenous peoples in Canada by the federal government. By bailing out Kinder Morgan’s investment in the Trans Mountain pipeline, Canada has announced its ongoing intention to violate Indigenous title, law and jurisdiction, as well as the constitutional rights of Indigenous peoples, and all protocols of international law protecting Indigenous peoples’ homelands and right to consent to development on their lands. Kinder Morgan purchased the ..read more

honestly that’s the thing that almost everyone is overlooking about kinder morgan, that this pipeline will never be completed. the ground opposition is way too strong. this isn’t a construction project of any kind, it’s a $5-$20 billion bailout for a project that will be completely wasted. imagine what good that money could actually do ..read more

1/2 1. Why don't you think bc legal action won't win? Aren't they in the right, constitutionally? 2. Trudeau literally said he made a deal with Notley to back the pipeline to get her re-elected. So that the carbon tax can continue. Again, political realities here need to be faced for what they are.

2/2 “John Horgan is … trying to scuttle our national plan on fighting climate change. By blocking the Kinder Morgan pipeline, he’s putting at risk the entire national climate change plan, because Alberta will not be able to stay on if the Kinder Morgan pipeline doesn’t go through,” he said. If provinces then start picking and choosing parts of the plan, Trudeau added, it will “mean that there is no agreement, and there is no capacity to reach our climate targets.” lol you actually believe what trudeau says about the climate? how’s that liberal bootheel taste ..read more

He's building a pipeline to keep Notley re-elected to make sure we can go ahead with a federal carbon tax. If they both don't get elected again, the carbon tax won't happen. Its slow ass change but it's what Canada can handle rn. Anything more than this-- a full out traditional ndp stance, if one will -- is a recipe for disaster at the polls whether we like it or not. Unfortunately, idealist millrnials don't make up the entirety of the electorate. Politics isn't as smooth as we'd like it.

lol they’ve both been in power the last two years they could have implemented a federal carbon tax at any point if they wanted to. they’re playing you like a chump. the liberals are gonna get slaughtered at the polls in bc next election for this. so would the bcndp if they supported the pipeline, supporting the pipeline is political suicide for any left-wing party. it might not hurt the liberals in most of the rest of the country, but supporting the pipeline won’t help them either. they’re not doing this because of any political calculation about what will win elections, they’re doing this bec ..read more
