And yes, like i was trying to get at before, more class focused, then race/feminism focused.

2018-07-17 08:53:31 UTC  

Which is much like sanders

2018-07-17 08:53:50 UTC  

Though i havent seen them call for taxing the rich to pay for university or some such

2018-07-17 08:54:02 UTC  

So less extreme then sanders in some ways with that.

2018-07-17 08:54:47 UTC  

Heavily pro-union, Pro low small buisness tax, pro heavily progresssive income tax

2018-07-17 08:55:18 UTC  

Ah. there we go. A Union party.

2018-07-17 08:55:32 UTC  

er. labor union party.

2018-07-17 08:55:50 UTC  

Though low taxes on small business is unusual.

2018-07-17 08:55:58 UTC  

Maybe. But its coherent.

2018-07-17 08:57:52 UTC  

"Kick-start the economy and build needed infrastructure, starting with:
? Cutting taxes for Canada’s job creators by reducing the small business tax from
11 to 9%.
? Supporting innovation and investment in companies creating jobs in Canada,
with an early focus on the aerospace, automotive, forestry and mining sectors.
? Creating jobs and building our economy with $1.5 billion per year in new
infrastructure funding to municipalities to fix roads, bridges and water
treatment systems."

Was watching Tim's video from a few days ago in which he mentioned Directive 51 again

2018-07-17 08:59:43 UTC  

Each time he mentions it, he tends to leave out the part about a mass casualty, government-interrupting event that forms the prerequisite for it

2018-07-17 09:00:14 UTC  

Sure, that happened

2018-07-17 09:00:19 UTC  

But that changes fuck all for me honestly

2018-07-17 09:00:24 UTC  

The bill's fucking atrocious

2018-07-17 09:00:27 UTC  

```"Catastrophic Emergency" means any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions;```

2018-07-17 09:00:43 UTC  

Oh

2018-07-17 09:00:47 UTC  

'Directive' 51?

2018-07-17 09:00:50 UTC  

That isnt Canada?

2018-07-17 09:00:53 UTC  

Nevermind me.

2018-07-17 09:01:02 UTC  

I thought of C-51.

2018-07-17 09:01:03 UTC  

Sorry, I kind of came in here with my own topic in mind

2018-07-17 09:01:47 UTC  

Though speaking of Canada, my big issue with how Tim talks about Directive 51 is how it requires something so ungodly catastrophic to occur before it can even be an option on the table,

2018-07-17 09:01:58 UTC  

in contrast to a place like Canada, where the Queen could dismiss your parliament tomorrow

2018-07-17 09:02:19 UTC  

That... No.

2018-07-17 09:02:27 UTC  

We wouldnt stand for that 😛

2018-07-17 09:02:33 UTC  

She knows it, we know it.

2018-07-17 09:02:51 UTC  

In 1975.

2018-07-17 09:03:01 UTC  

Nearly half a century ago

2018-07-17 09:03:03 UTC  

Australia had their duly elected prime minister dismissed due to little more than bad poll numbers and a gridlocked legislature

2018-07-17 09:03:15 UTC  

and Australia just laid down and took it

2018-07-17 09:03:29 UTC  

And then the minority party's leader was put into power as head of government

2018-07-17 09:03:46 UTC  

Sounds interesting

2018-07-17 09:04:01 UTC  

and as far as I know, this is an area where Canada and Australia have virtually identical laws

2018-07-17 09:04:06 UTC  

The Queen meddled with us in the past a bit, but it was mostly political bullshit our politicians were asking for.

2018-07-17 09:04:13 UTC  

Canada's armed forces swear allegiance to the Queen personally

2018-07-17 09:04:17 UTC  

as do Canadian politicans

2018-07-17 09:04:19 UTC  

Yes, because we were both previously colonies

2018-07-17 09:04:26 UTC  

I cant say you're wrong in terms of laws
