    I think some progressive people are losing the plot and forgetting the bigger picture. There is a global, historical, and logistical context to all of this.

    As much as I would have preferred a NDP government, with a strong socialist platform; if that were to result in supply chain breaks several years later that prevent my loved ones from getting their life saving medications or medical devices… I would regret that vote.

    I foresee 2 major global supply chain interruptions on the horizon:

    1. Global food supply - climate change

    2. Global electronics supply - China invading Taiwan

    Once those supply chains break our ability to build new ones before there is a considerable human cost, becomes very questionable. So like yes we need to hold Carney accountable to his environmental and ethical promises; BUT this blanket opposition to everything he does is IMO misguided, short sighted, and lacks alternative solutions.

    We need to mobilize in a way that’s productive, not just reactive and obstructive.
