Ah ok, I stand corrected - thanks for this.
Although Carney did say as recently as April that he believed legislation like this was "not necessary", so I'll stand by my comment insofar as it reflects/reflected Carney's position. https://ca.news.yahoo.com/carney-says-law-protecting-canadas-022837900.html
This theory is only falsifiable if Carney breaks an explicit promise he made during the election.
If supply management isn't dropped (by the way, Trump is already going after it, now that Carney caved on the DST) then you'll want to claim that this theory of yours was correct - but in reality, Carney's pathetic capitulation on the DST likely has absolutely nothing to do with keeping supply management.
Regardless, if Carney doesn't break this unambiguous election promise, that's not a cause for celebration or congratulations. He could've passed a bill to protect supply management - was asked directly to do so - and he intentionally didn't do it.
It's almost as if he wants to be strong-armed into giving it away. And boy oh boy I can't wait to hear from his sycophantic fans why it was actually a genius move to get rid of supply management, once it's gone.
Since you said something similar in response to a different post, I'll give a similar response to the one I did there:
I have my doubts that Canadian companies would have all increased their google/facebook ad budgets over this.
Anyway if it didn't matter to those companies then why were they so opposed to it
It only applies to a few enormous corporations, that mostly generate revenue through ad sales.
Would Canadian companies really all have increased their Facebook ad budgets over this? I kinda doubt it, tbh
Pretty sure the Toronto Star is the one paper that has consistently endorsed Liberals in every election in the past several decades.
Besides, isn't warning about potential cuts more of a framing from the left side of whatever brand of right wing Carney is proving to be?
This theory runs into some trouble when you realize the Liberals chose to campaign just as hard in NDP strongholds as they did in Conservative ridings. I will never advocate for "strategic" voting again after that.
Most recent ownership info I can find is that the Star is owned by Torstar Corporation, which is owned by NordStar Capital.
Canadian company, and not Postmedia. Is this not still true?
From the Toronto Star:
Hike in defence spending could mean cuts in other areas, Mark Carney warns
Thanks - and yeah I have a feeling I'll end up doing exactly that. Tailscale is definitely overkill for this!
"commercial free speech"
By which they mean lying. They want to be able to legally lie about environment-related claims to Canadians. I'm curious what planet they're from
