As the title says, you NEED to go read this guy’s book if you were ever unsure about who he is as a person and if he is progressive. I started reading this yesterday and am almost a third of the way through already. The way he explains markets and economics and how they can be utilized to fight climate change and our biggest issues is fascinating.

So far I can see that this man is legit and he wants to see Canada leading the world economically and morally. We have a golden opportunity here and any fiscal conservative should see this guy as the number one guy for the job. We had our time with Trudeau laying the foundation for a lot of social justice for the next quarter century, and now Carney is here to focus more on the economy and scale it to make us a global super power. Never before have I found economics so interesting and this book of his is really opening my eyes about the history and functions of markets.

Ok, off I go to continue!

    Canada doesn’t need nuclear weapons, does Iraq ring a bell to you how the USA straight up invaded and killed hundreds of thousands of innocent people because of “rumors” of WMDs? And the weakest Intel? That kind of talk can gtfo

    The lesson of Iraq is not develop no nukes or the USA might invade you. The lesson of Iraq is that even if you definitely don’t have any WMDs the US might lie about it anyways and justify invading you with the lie.

      That being said, I think there’s still an argument not to do proliferation even if it would be easier to.
