Right now automation poses significant risks to Capitalism as a method of creating wealth.

My point about gender politics was look at how much everyone CARES about it. But when it comes to core economic principles, like building some pipelines to create jobs, wealth and opportunity for the Canadian people, even our Prime Minister is basically saying, "meh.'"
As for your other points, everything traces back to 'we the people' not caring anymore. We don't involve ourselves in politics, we don't vote....basically we don't care. Corporations have taken over the political system and have made changes that largely benefit their own profits.
There was a point earlier about having a balance between capitalism and socialist principles to create the best system. I agree, however it requires people that care and are willing to give up something to achieve that.
Wasn't there a poll done the other day that said Albertans want equal or better pubic services, no deficit and no taxes. How is that possible?
There are European economical and social systems that work FAR superior to what we have here in Canada. But how can we possibly expect to emulate them when we, as a country can't even agree to build a pipeline?
