It is actually weird that Colonel Sanders hated what they'd done to his Kentucky Fried Chicken and moved to Canada so he could control rhe product, loved Canada, so he built Hospitals. AND ALSO, that A&W split in two, a growing good food version for Canada, and a cheap imitation that no one wants in the US.

I mean, fast food. Fast food.

Col. Sander's white suits and charities were Canadian.

#CPPotD Canadian Politics Poll of the Day - Mark Carney Goes to Europe Edition!

I have been supportive of talk of Canada joining the EU, but I admit, I feel a little... conflicted.. about this quotable quote from PM Mark Carney today alongside President Macron.

What was your reaction to Carney saying we are "The most European of Non-European Countries”?

Uhh, no, thank you very much.

You might see _your neighbours rolling over to become slaves.

You might like drawing parallelograms around German racist thug history, but Canada is Vietnam not Austria.

Only Russia is bigger.
Russia's economy is smaller than 🇨🇦

Canada has loyal allies, Russia has North Korea.

Canada already beat one US invasion. Do not think politeness and decency masks weakness.

I realize I'm in a bit of an echo chamber in the #fediverse , and this is already obvious to so very many people here, but I need to say this "out loud" to fix some of my thinking.

Running a business way back when, once upon a time, MIGHT have been about supporting people, a region, and doing good for people, but not anymore.

The ideal 'business' today is one that doesn't have to pay or have any employees at all (I'm thinking that is why the push to AI, which is only good about static things, and wouldn't tell you when to piviot your business to something else).

If indentured servitude or slavery was still legal in North America, you better believe businesses would be doing it, because "We work within the limits of the law". So, definitely NOT a human friendly entity.

Now with that in mind, do you really think a government should be run as a business?

The, perhaps naive, idea is that the government exists to support the people of that region, a thing that business don't.

Businesses in general today exist to exploit people and the resources of the region.

So if you somehow agree that a government should be run as a business.. you might be the monstrous asshole. Just saying.

I'm more motivated to finish PM Carney's book, "Value(s): Building a better world for all", and came across this section:

❝An advantage of the subjective approach to value is that it is neutral. Everything that is priced can be compared by means of a common, widely available standard, the market price. But from the perspective of welfare, it creates several issues.

First, whereas economic infrastructure and economic capital are usually priced, social infrastructure, social capital and natural capital generally are not. This can lead to underinvestment in what matters for wellbeing. In standard GDP accounting, government contributes no value added beyond public sector salaries. Measurement of (unpriced) outputs would better reflect both living standards and economic per-formance. What captures performance during the crisis? A healthcare worker's salary or their heroic efforts at saving lives?❞

So we know he at least understands the problem. #CanPoli #CdnPoli

Which makes me wonder at Russian bots. This story is "nearly true" 88 F-35s will pribably not be bought, but rhe Cabinet has not issued a decision yet.

We only know that PM Carney has said pause any purchase, review choices, considering the American Crisis.

So why make a post that's nearly true? Might be true later?

Is it to rack up points of "they boosted a lie" or to pretend that F-35s are still in rhe running?

Why make it into a falsehood?
