    What I’m trying to say is that if you poll most Canadians they don’t want that shit. We have been told for so long that progressive ideas are only possible in dreamland and that things would be too expensive and then we just never question that. In reality, not investing in people and instead handing all our money to the ultra-rich just screws us over. There are people who would have said that Harper was too far right and yet will vote Liberal just because it’s in between two other parties(despite being barely left of the Conservatives).

    The “destabilizing” also needs examples because a) yes, we are too deep into capitalism now so we have to make big moves and b) are they really, or are they just unfamiliar? And why are their moves “destabilizing” but Carney firing tens of thousands of people and continuing to drive us towards intense economic disaster just “normal”? We need to start thinking for ourselves or we are nothing.
