Honestly I only went and looked for the report because of a post on Bluesky by Peter Julian.

That said, this post seems to have already gotten more reach than a sitting MP's did on that platform, so you're right about the fediverse!

Regardless, I agree it should be much bigger news.

I was eventually able to find the original report. PDF can be downloaded from this page:

Finally tracked down the original report, which can be downloaded from this page:

I'm still surprised, however, that someone who wrote a whole book about the responsibility market participants have to look beyond immediate personal gain (particularly in relation to climate) would be like, gimme an index fund that doesn't exclude oil & gas corporations

Yes! This is almost exactly my technique. I try to do the naming in a steady rhythm, around one per second, picturing the thing in my mind while mentally saying the word.

My hypothesis is that it syncs up both sides of my brain at a timing that is in the delta wave frequency, same as a deep sleep state

Yes, and apparently they include 35% tariffs across the board now. So the question remains, what did we get for dropping the DST?

Yep. And everyone who defended dropping the DST can start with the mea culpas any time they want

Good thing we dropped the DST, huh

A source for this claim would be great, because I haven't heard anyone from the government say this. Even Carney, when directly asked if Canada got anything in return for scrapping the DST, got tongue-tied and then deflected, saying it's 'part of a larger process'.

Not how you react if you're confident in your position, imo

Sounds good!

OK, well, it really seemed like you were defending the PM's policy direction. Even as I re-read what you wrote, I'm struggling to find an alternative explanation.

Anyway if the political game is to pander to what people are demanding, then isn't it the role of the people to be vocal about what they want?

If you are as worried about Bills C-5 and C-2 as you say, then why defend the PM being nice to Premier Smith, who many Liberals were literally calling a traitor just a couple months ago?

Why defend the PM being nice to Doug Ford, who is trying to ram through anti-democratic "special economic zones" legislation in Ontario's Bill 5?

This is the LinkedIn post, which makes me even more sure you're following me around lmao

Ah, I see, you're OK with it because you like the policy.

My original post didn't say it was concerning though, so I'm not sure why you responded as though it did.

Edit: also, you seem to be following me around different Lemmy communities with a 3-hour-old account. Any reason for that?

I find it interesting you are so fixated on the pancake aspect when the piece is (to me at least) quite clearly about the PM's personality, and how it parallels his policy and actions.

Thanks for pointing out the broken link, I'll correct that

Edit: that link seems to be working again, but it did take a while to load, weird

It doesn't worry you that the PM is pandering to that right-leaning audience, rather than standing up for things like climate action?

Curious if you clicked any of the dozen links that back up the claims made in the piece?

Thanks for reading!

Oh, lol, I'll take some blame there too, I maybe should have hyphenated 'right-wing'

Worth asking what exactly they're collaborating on then, right? Just a couple days ago, ministers from those same two provinces asked the Feds not to renew the requirements to provide safe drinking water to Indigenous communities. And the screenshot here was careful to include the word 'pipelines'.
