Trudeau defends anti-pipeline Liberal candidate, reaffirms commitment to Trans Mountain

CBC News

There's much I wish to express about this issue, but the words escape me. It's a big problem though, and the best solution would probably be to avoid this situation entirely. Just sidestep it. But there are a whole lot of people who are just gung-ho about this project, but there's a hell of a lot of warning flags to it. It's a money pit. It's a financial disaster in the making. Whoever is the last in control of it, loses. First Nations would probably be safest backpedaling from it, and refraining from taking any side. Siphon off project dollars, but refrain from committing. Let the government lose its money. Don't try for ownership. It's a damn trap, which'll allow the government to blame First Nations mismanagement. Recognize it for the dying beast it is.

Private Equity is a TERRIBLE Investment... Who Keeps Giving Them Money? — How Money Works

Not too much to comment. Business in the USA and by extension Canada is bad right now. Probably for a generation. We really do need a generational plan to get us out of this mess. A ten to twenty year program, unfortunately. Placing pieces onto the board and moving them where they need to be to make things work again. By pieces, I mean people. We need good strong policies to implement as well. There's a lot to think about.

The human 'superpredator' is unique -- and unsustainable, study says

Los Angeles Times I can't imagine the world in ten years time. Twenty years. It'll be different. As different as the world was even in my own childhood. As different as the world was from my parents' childhoods. My elders speak of our role on this Earth as caretakers. However, we've abandoned this role in favor of materialistic pursuits. Of finite beliefs that will quickly degrade into ash when stressed, as heated glass touching cold water. All cultures historically warn us away from over-indulgence, and yet our own modern society celebrates this behavior as exemplary. This self-interest is our fatal flaw. We take what we want, and we give nothing. This cannot last. There are limits on this Earth we cannot comprehend in full. It is simply too vast. However, what little we do know should terrify us into acting more responsibly, even if only marginally. However we do not even do that. Our leaders urge us on to continue on as we have done. This cannot last. Eventuall...

The potential Canadian federal government budget

If Trudeau has brought in Mark Carney as a kind of special advisory role, then it's likely the upcoming budget will resemble the budget the Labour government in the UK unveiled just recently. It'll likely be a large stimulus bill aimed at getting cash into hands and raising taxes on the wealthy and corporations. If the howls for Trudeau's resignation are any indication, he's probably placed a lot of confidence into Carney, and why wouldn't he? Carney's well-respected and liked by the Canadian public and seen as someone who's able to stand up to bullies such as Harper and Poilievre. The work in policy Carney has done recently inspires me quite a bit, and I'm quite a bit of a radical, standing considerably to the left of the federal NDP. From the results of the Cabinet shuffle, Trudeau seems to be keeping Carney at arms length away from the Cabinet, but I wouldn't be surprised if Carney is on speed dial for both him and the entirety of Cabinet. But it...
