a week ago i got chewed out on here by some people with alberta flag accounts for saying carney runs to the right of harper. anyway here's harper saying he wished he was as conservative as mark carney.
Stephen Harper was so impressed by Mark Carney's CEO investment summit that he said he wishes he had come up with the idea himself.
The former Conservative prime minister seemed to have nothing but praise in this speech for Carney.

one thing i learned from spending a week in dublin interviewing irish musicians is that they really truly give a shit, i had one band say they were gonna put up a palestinian flag whether we were ok w it or not (obviously i was glad they did) -- these are people with convictions

ed sheeran is a coward, he chose the pro genocide side. this is solidarity. for justice to prevail, we must always speak truth to power no matter the cost.
FINNEAS has withdrawn from Ed Sheeran’s tour in solidarity with Palestine and Macklemore:
“Artists must not be silenced when they speak up for the oppressed. I have decided to withdraw from my upcoming tour dates with Ed Sheeran. I stand with Palestine and its people.”
