“Hidden in the federal government’s 634-page omnibus bill C-15, the Budget Implementation Act, is a measure that has so far escaped scrutiny. Under the pretext of regulatory efficiency, Prime Minister Mark Carney plans to grant cabinet ministers the power to exempt any individual or company from any federal law on the books — except for the Criminal Code — for up to six years.”
“Liberals” have rebranded what used to be conservatism as “abundance”.
The NDP have been running as centrists, and the Conservatives are Nazis.
This all happened so quickly.
Part of the blame is America exporting their brand of conservatism and Canada caught the flu.
It almost seems inevitable when you look at the merging of the conservatives and the reform party.
By bringing them together they created this party that wanted to be more right than it was as a whole.
Then with what’s also going on in the US they keep pushing more and more right, more and more crazy.
That then opens a gap for the more centrist party the liberals to come in and fill that void while still championing some center and left things.
And it just goes on and on further fueled by what’s happening in the south.
Then you get MPs crossing the floor like what happened a few weeks ago, and that further brings them to the center right, or just outright right.
I think we’re more complicit than that…conservative parties from around the world meet to coordinate policy in a group chaired by Stephen Harper: the perversely named IDU. A truly terrifying group that rank and file conservatives haven’t heard of or will downplay as soon as they hear about it. All while they pretend the WEF is a progressive construct and not a conservative one.
Ya, a lot of people don’t realize there’s this global coordinated effort and Harper is helping lead it.
I didn’t know he was still leading it, but at the time years ago I did.
As far as I’m aware he’s presently the chair.
It’s not some make-work think tank…it’s a deeply influential policy control apparatus that makes most media guilty of gross malpractice for not keeping tabs on. It’s an umbrella that has groups across the full demographic spectrum.
Conservative parties across the globe are sharing information about what propaganda/outright lies works and what doesn’t. Liberal and progressive parties have no such apparatus that keeps them in messaging lockstep.
It’s exactly what conservatives conspiracy theorize that the WEF and other “globalist” entities do for “liberals”.
Wouldn’t be surprised if they’re behind the global targeting of trans people in the latest messaging.
It’s not a secret that transphobia is a top wedge issue for conservatives. The IDU is absolutely focus grouping the rhetoric into easily digestible talking points.
We already know there’s an online eco system that floats all of the talking points…the IDU consolidates the information and disseminates what tests well to the various groups, like the IDWU or IDYU (women, youth) who then translate it into a language their demographic will respond to and take out ads, meet with podcasters, etc
Waiting for the swing back……
