    Canada doesn’t exist in a vacuum, neither does it’s issues.

      Right, but the every day issues of working class Canadians are outright being ignored. How can you take care of another nation when you can’t even feed your own people?

        While you’re not wrong the liberals are actively waging class war, we sell weapons to the Israeli state and the IDF trains Canadian police forces and recruits children from our hoghschools to their army.

        We absolutely are not neutral in the genocide of Palestinians and the war there has direct social and material consequences for us. Working class people also can’t pretend global issiues don’t effect us or were truly being deaf, dumb and blind.

          Global issues do affect us. But at this current moment, we’re critically fucked in terms of day to day living and rising costs. It’s good to change properties and focus, depending on the needs of the country. It just seems that Canadian politics is all about foreign affairs and never about us here in Canada, we’re never the focus, we’re never the priority. It’s good to help others, but when you’re helping others, but you can’t even help your own, it shows how fucked properties are.

          It’s easier to get political points for helping a struggling third world nation, than to do something that helps the long term betterment of Canadians, so they stop helping us

            When were the government ever helping " us " ?

            And its really not. Trudeau is taking a beating from pro Palestine and pro Isreali groups within the country for being deceive enough. Polievere also had his rally interrupted by those demanding a ceasefire.

            Temporary foreign workers being human trafficked to do jobs that passport holders here have is a major issiue here. The idea that somehow " Canadians " living standards and class war and foreign affairs aren’t directly related is nonsense.

            The liberals aren’t even really " helping " anyone in this conflict, they’re just arming Israel and suppressing pro Palestine voices in our country. The people frothing at the mouth to limit peoples speech here should concern you too.
