I was talking about how we've pretty much lost all democratic control over our economies because multinational companies essentially exist outside of the state. But yeah, globalism and immigration Postess with the Mostest posted:How does one fight climate change and globalization at the same time? It seems like one would want to be on the inside of the global economy if one was going to want to influence other nations into making economic sacrifices to improve the global climate. good point. Maybe I should try and become the CEO of Samsung then.

DariusLikewise posted:it sounds like you are already a member of the communist party and are trying convince us to join, not asking if it's a good idea to join, nice bias No, I'm not a member. I was honestly curious if anybody on this forum had any insight. It's pretty much my only avenue to discuss these things. I actually thought that more people would have some more valuable information other than "they're small and stupid and suck". I guess nobody has had much interactions with them, aside from the few posters who have attended their events. I'll have to find out more about the party myself! I'll fill you in. DariusLikewise posted:electoral power isnt possible for any party federally other than the libs or the cons unless we end up in some sort of weird kingmaker minority scenario and even then the libcons would probably just prop each other up anyways. You're probably right. And that's why I'm hesitant. But I hear about the 200 million people strike that was lead by the Communist Party of India. And then I think that the future might not be decided by some electoral bubble here in Canada. But rather by a global movement. Why should I shy away from showing solidarity in the global south, and redesign something that's showing great success in so many places in the world, but just not here in Canada.

You should follow your heart dude, they easily have the best logo and are like the 2nd or 3rd oldest party in the country. Long time since they peaked in the prewar years, but still. Never take advice from canpol goons tho, we're responsible for the suicide awareness stickies after all

Every person I've ever known who joined the cpc was basically a try hard contrarian edgelord who cared more about making people uncomfortable with gestures like flag burnings than about income inequality and who quit after 6 months once they realized that nobody cares. Maybe things have changed since the rage against the machine era.

Late to the party here. My brother has extensively worked with the CPC, but doesn't seem to recommend officially joining. He advocates for organizing workplaces, as well as entryism in the NDP, where he saw some success at the provincial level. The CPC might be a good resource, but aren't going to be the source of any major changes. Real hope lies in the workplace and dragging the NDP kicking and screaming to the real left.

NP. Although your methods are going to depend on knowing you audience, so you'll need to sort that poo poo out. I work with some transit union folks and they are not all the wokest leftists you'll ever meet, but they do believe in solidarity so long as you frame it right.

My grandpa was an actual communist back in the 50s/60s, but didn't join the CPC. He just worked alongside them organizing strikes and labour movements. He was pretty close friends with Rachel Notley's father, which is cool. While he would have loved to have seen the NDP win Alberta, he would have been very frustrated with how centrist the Alberta NDP are.

Defense Watch Watch: Good news?!? Vice-Admiral Mark Norman has been somewhat vindicated, the fed dropped the lawsuit against him, with the prosecuting attorney saying publicly "we've got nothing". It could be that the Fed thought it'd just be a drag next election, but it's satisfying to see their horseshit fail so abjectly Defense Watch has a good summary Norman of course is now demanding his old job bad just to twist the knife in his former comrades in arms at the DND Also, Canada and the F-35 have taken a new turn. OK, so remember when the fed took de-facto policy and made it official, that any fighter design had to officially promise that industrial baksheeh? Well it turns out that's not allowed in the framework in which the F-35 was developed, which actually wants F-35 sub-components to be sourced competitively, and explicitly forbids nations from trying to get more baksheeh done in their own nation. While Canada now is BFFs with LockMart, this doesn't seem like a big problem, but Trump of course took this and turned it into an ultimatum, which gives Trudeau a valid pretext for excluding the F-35 as he'll be able to say it was the Americans who took it off the table, not him Also this seems defense related: Money Laundering a Canadian, not a BC problem quote:It estimated that last year, roughly $46.7 billion was laundered via the Canadian economy, with B.C. responsible for roughly $7.4 billion of that total. Here's the spit take: quote:The report ranks several regions based on their flow of illegal money, placing B.C., in fifth place behind Alberta, Ontario, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. e: laffo, so if you wanted a very Canadian headline into fighting money laundering, what would you pick? "Done with asking nicely" BC opens public inquiry into money laundering
