I may lose a lot of followers by hash-tagging #fuckcarney, but so be it. To those followers I do lose, I bid you farewell and good health.
This is not the “unified” #Canada I wasted my #Federal #NDP vote for. Anyone supporting “the great” #markcarney and his #cultlike, loyal #turncoat, #unethical, #partisan, #climatedestruction #liberals, who judge people like me for openly criticizing their great #authoritarian leader, can kiss my leftist ass and future votes goodbye for generations to come.
I’m no longer interested in #Carney’s #liberal #nationalinterestprojects. Mark Carney’s “globalist banker over politician” mentality is not at all compatible with my national interest, that is a fact.
Mark Carney continues to ignore my “leftwing domestic terrorist” interests while quietly sending #Canadian delegations to #AmericanFacist conventions and still claiming a pursuit of “national unity”.
The truth is Carney’s #nationalinterest claims are no more real than fascist Trump claiming he’s polling “better than ever” in an entire nation actively fighting against him and his corporate/facist ambitions.
Carney has used a #ShockDoctrine, #floodthezone agenda based on #Trump and #PierrePoilievre blinded Canadians, to achieve his and #DanielleSmith’s own selfish #rightwing, #corporate, #capitalist goals.
We’ve all been played, yet the most #patriotic #elbowsup Canadians have yet to even see it.

Danielle Smith speaking just now "Seven Trillion dollars in oil and gas reserves ... will generate 100's of billion of government revenues ..."
Does that mean that governments will only tale ~4% of sales revenue? That seems outrageously low, not to mention the #climatecatastrophe at hand. #nationalinterest is being maligned by corporate profits fronted by politicians who dont respect the value of the common good.

#Australia #CriticalMinerals #ImperialObsequiousness #SubimperialEnforcer #ExemptionPower #NationalInterest #extractivism #zeitgeist"The Australian government’s decision to allow the US mining giant Alcoa to continue clearing swathes of Western Australian jarrah forest despite past illegal clearing practices was made in part due to a critical minerals deal reached between Australia and the Trump administration last year, a new document shows."
"...The government has prioritised corporate interests and foreign defence interests above the jarrah forests, the endangered species that rely on the forests and Perth’s drinking water – showing just how wrong their priorities are.”
“In the twisted logic of Australia in the Trump age, the national interest lies not in honouring and protecting the beauty and richness of our natural heritage, but in sacrificing it to foreign mining companies.”

Australia's new national environmental standards
"Former ACCC chair condemns proposed exemption allowing minister to approve projects that don’t comply with law. Samuel, who led a 2020 review of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act, also argued a loophole that effectively exempts native forest logging from the laws “shouldn’t be there”.
“Logging operations should be subject to the same rules as mining, agriculture, urban development and so on." >>

Authoritarianism—but make it look like the rule of law.
Lawlessness dressed up as law." The ‘dual state’ framework explains how a dictator can exercise power while life appears mostly ordinary.
The court is adjusting the law to make place for arbitrary power.
In a dual state, the high “court’s role is in creating affordances within the law that operate as off switches for the law…
This is precisely why the dual state is so dangerous: It allows the would-be autocrat to consolidate power under the cloak of democracy and norms. "

The Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act (EPBC Act)
The problem of ministerial discretion and “national interest” exemptions." ‘Serious gaps’ in Labor’s environment laws undermine attempt to fix broken system, integrity experts say. Political integrity experts have raised concerns about Labor’s proposed new nature laws, including a contentious new “national interest” exemption...Despite the claims to a limited application, the centre holds grave concerns about the scope, transparency, and accountability of the exercise of the discretion. The centre’s report said it was “highly unusual” for an independent regulator to cede such “significant powers” to a minister." Environmental decision making is especially prone to capture by vested interests – that’s why integrity safeguards must be strong. "

The nature reform bill: “riddled with loopholes that would enable rampant deforestation and species extinctions to continue at pace”.
"Ken Henry warns Labor’s nature laws ‘are worthless’ unless minister tightens ‘national interest’ exemptions. Every project developer is absolutely convinced that their project is in the national interest... Henry said the vague drafting of the “national interest” exemption and the failure to close loopholes for native forest logging and land clearing were problems that needed to be fixed."

Close loopholes that allow deforestation and habitat destruction to continue .
Establish an independent regulator to enforce the rules without political interference .
Set clear national standards to protect and restore nature, and

A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt
We grudge no man a fortune which represents his own power and sagacity, when exercised with entire regard to the welfare of his fellows. […] We grudge no man a fortune in civil life if it is honorably obtained and well used. It is not even enough that it should have gained without doing damage to the community. We should permit it to be gained only so long as the gaining represents benefit to the community. This, I know, implies a policy of a far more active governmental interference with social and economic conditions in this country than we have yet had, but I think we have got to face the fact that such an increase in governmental control is now necessary.
Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901-1909)

A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt
Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the President or any other public official save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him in so far as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth — whether about the President or about any one else.
Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901-1909)

If we depend on other countries, it's not healthy either. We have a history with foreign entities: the British, the Japanese, and the Portuguese; they colonized us and exploited us for resources. Then, China's presence encroaches into our EEZ. Philippine politicians are claiming Sabah. It seems to me that we have no one to trust, not even ourselves. It seems to me that it's best for the government to just go with the flow, enjoy the world, maintain our stability, and engage in politics and democracy while doing what is best at the moment, including being friends with both China and the US, Australia, and the countries you mentioned. Yes, better training with them than doing nothing. We are a relatively new country, lacking in many resources, knowledge, and ideologies, and we have been exploited. The local politicians are also corrupt. We just do what we are capable of at the moment, being ourselves.

For strategic reasons, Australia needs to have facilities and skills to manufacture electric vehicles and batteries. We already have the resources.On another front, Dutton's keen on nuclear power but silent on where we'll get the fuel. We have uranium resources, but no enrichment industry. I was surprised to learn that even the US gets about a quarter of its enriched fuel for power reactors from Russia.

One of Australia's greatest strategic vulnerabilities is our reliance on imported liquid fuels for transport. According to Geoscience Australia, our solar resource alone is 10,000 times our current energy consumption. Yet governments pander to fossil fuel interests.

National Interest: #US SM-3 anti-ballistic missile stockpile depleted as Washington produces only 12 SM-3 missiles per year
The US media describe as "extremely dangerous" scenario for the US hegemony
Each SM-3 costs $28 million and is the US "top weapon_ against the ballistic missile threat, according to a #NationalInterest report.A $28 million missile against a 1000 or even 5000 dollar drone is not exactly "success" even if they manage to shoot down the drone.
