I sent an email to Mark Carney regarding mstdn.ca and encourage others to do the same.
Hello Mr. Carney,
As a Canadian, i was wondering if you would consider adding a Canadian social media site to your presence, like mstdn.ca (mastodon) or similar? As someone who wants to get away from American corporate dominance, i would like to see Canada using home grown talent rather than only billionaire dominated media.
Thank you for your attention.
Thatβs such a good template!
A.I. SUMMARY:
Mark Carney's "One Canadian Economy" plan aims to unify Canada's fragmented markets to bolster economic growth, job creation, and national security. Key initiatives include:
Eliminating Interprovincial Trade Barriers: By removing these barriers, the plan projects a potential economic expansion of up to $200 billion, translating to a gain of $3,000 to $5,000 per Canadian.
Enhancing Labor Mobility: The plan seeks to ensure that professional qualifications are recognized nationwide, allowing Canadians to work anywhere without requalification. This approach aims to improve competitiveness, reduce costs, and stimulate economic growth.
Facilitating Nationwide Business Operations: By harmonizing regulations and standards, businesses can more easily sell products and services across provinces, reducing costs and expanding market access.
Strengthening National Infrastructure: The plan proposes prioritizing and accelerating projects of national interest that cross interprovincial boundaries, enhancing connectivity and economic cohesion.
Overall, the "One Canadian Economy" plan focuses on creating a unified national market to drive economic prosperity and resilience.
I think everyone can get behind interprovincial trade. Not much else that's positive in there. Build pipelines faster, and double down on the fraud of carbon-capture. Nothing about any systemic changes that will help Canadians find housing or secure stable, increasing incomes. Nothing about shifting the share of economic growth from capital to workers. The inflation adjusted incomes of Canadians have be flat since the 1970s, and we are much less secure and have inferior services like health and education.
Liberals were always representing business and investment communities in much the same way Cons do, the only difference is their posturing on social issues. We only have toothless NDP to represent people... this electoral system sucks and sucks big time. we need more parties, more voices and we cannot have party representing 30% of population pretend like "it's got mandate" and it's "majority". Voting should be mandatory and number of seats should represent percentage of population represented. Spoiled ballots should be represented with empty seats and "majority" rules should be the absolute majority. If no absolute majority available for decision it's to be put to plebiscite. That may get us some semblance of Democracy in it's true sense.
Totally agree about electoral reforms of most kinds.
Sadly the NDP has drifted far from their socialist root, and doesn't really talk about any kind of major reform to capitalism. They offer a lot of marginal policy change, but don't talk about alternatives that would reverse the 50 year trend. When Mulcair was leader, h3me wanted to eliminate the federal deficit.
Very promising statements from Carney.
