U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has earmarked millions of dollars for a bulk order for 20 armoured vehicles from Canadian defence manufacturer Roshel that are built to resist bullets and bomb blasts.
I was there for Harper; remember the barbaric cultural practices hotline? Remember the fisheries library just being tossed? The only contender for further left is Lester Pearson (by the standards of his time), who brought in the healthcare system. I’m not even being original here, it’s pretty standardly what you’d hear from a pundit.
I’m arguing that the Liberals acting like conservatives makes the conservatives tack even further to the right, and we slide and slide into late stage capitalist hell.
Just looking around the world, I’m certain the right is pulling, not being pushed.
Harpers’ culture war posturing wasn’t policy. He was bad, but no worse than Justin - who’s trade and corporate policy was to the right of Harper. Justin, of course, was a culture war liberal with his gender equal cabinet etc
Oh? Not McKenzie King who brought in UI and the Baby Bonus? Not Diefenbaker who mass-funded hospitals? Not Pierre that brought in the Charter of Righrs on Freedoms? EtcEtc. Justin governed right of centre…a boiler plate neoliberal just like Harper was. Pardon me, but you don’t have any idea what you’re talking about.

If everyone else doesn’t know what they’re talking about, maybe you don’t know what you’re talking about.
So on the left.
I think I’ll just leave it there.
If you believe culture war statements define policy…there’s your issue.
