Oh, he’s offered solutions in the past, and his wild lack of experience has shown that he’d be terrible at the job. Remember when he said Bitcoin was the only proof against inflation, then people lost everything? (https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/poilievre-crypto-explainer-1.6653739)

I’m okay with our ‘Governor’ calling their President all sorts of subservient titles if it means the SOCON pieces-of-shit don’t get a whiff of thinking they’re important.

We should constantly refer to him as Lt Gov.

She was one of the lead Canadian negotiators during the re-negotian of NAFTA

More then that. She employed guile and cunning to both push for our desired position and delay our southern neighbours to the point where they didn’t get a chance to plead their case in the negotiations. In short, she owned the USA in the negotiations for the USMCA. If Trump knows someone other than ‘the governor,’ you just know that she’s a threat to him. Let’s make her PM.

I hear a lot of people are fed up with the Liberals, but if they don’t vote that way we end up with the Conservatives. As the old saying goes “Fuck around and find out.” Trying to make up for a poor showing Federally by voting Provincially isn’t good enough.

Kinda upset that ‘slam’ doesn’t refer to Doug Ford losing in a wrestling match with the Auditor General.

If Pierre can know this information, and he doesn’t have a security clearance, then technically voters can know this information too. Put it in the news.

…agreeing with your point and expanding on it. Yes, for not spending enough NATO won’t look after us, but also we can’t trust the USA to protect us.

I don’t even have faith in the USA to do the right thing. We’ve been hit with tariffs from the USA on aluminum and steel before because of ‘reasons for national security’ during the first Trump term. We need to start thinking of defending ourselves without the help of the USA because we shouldn’t be concerned about our defence after the way Michigan votes every 4 years.

Even beyond that, the amount of Russian control over the US administration in the next term may be significant. We may not be able to work with the US in matters of intelligence for fear of some information going to the Russians. The US might not step in and help NATO if Russia decides to test our resolve to defend Finland for instance, and wouldn’t it be good if the rest of the alliance could do their fair share of the work defending the rest of democracy even if the USA won’t?

They aren’t saying ‘no bikes,’ they are saying ‘no bike lanes.’ It’s predicated on the mistaken impression that the bike lanes reduce the number of car lanes, and thus would slow car traffic. They would like to up the danger to bikers by having them ‘take the lane’ and force them to bike in the car lane. In addition to the danger to biker, it actually slows driving traffic as bikes are now in car lanes of traffic, and if any biker does get hurt, which is bound to go up, the accidents will slow traffic as well.

I should stop saying ‘bike lane’ and ‘car lane’ I suppose - the Government of Ontario has a preference that it’s just a lane for everything.

Yeah, no sales tax, but high income tax. You’re paying tax - just in a different form.

Shame is a bit strong. One might regret that a peaceful solution wasn’t available or wasn’t explored fully, but one doesn’t need to feel shame that armed conflict occurred.

Don’t worry - the cyclist will continue to keep their lives in danger by not stopping at stop signs.

With the US out of NATO, USA aggression towards a NATO ally would provoke a response. Also, NATO is not involved with Ukraine. This means that all of NATO can focus on USA aggression. Considering the significant force difference between a non-NATO USA and the rest of NATO, I imagine that nuclear response as an opener is heavily weighed. Glass Washington D.C., then ask if the USA would like to retreat to US lines before they glass NYC. Primary response would be through UK nuclear submarine along the Atlantic.

I could go for some Poutine…

very year. After 40+ years of it either do it or shut up about it.

Use a sextant to ‘call noon’ every day? Lovely.

“Poilievre said he prefers that I stay as Prime Minister.” Imagine if Justin Trudeau says that line and then refers to the broadcast.

Without saying the Conservatives have MPs under foreign influence, he’s able to use Poilievre’s unwillingness to get a security clearance with a line that DEFINATELY indicates that the Conservatives have MPs under foreign influence.

It might be okay. Let people read the rules passed down, as maybe there’s legal loopholes in there that can be exploited. Maybe the municipality can still close roads or remove lanes. Once you’re not putting a bike lane on street, the rules don’t matter.

Trucks often have to use ‘engine breaking’ or a ‘Jake brake’ to slow down. Basically, they cut fuel in the intake stroke, changing the engine into a ‘compressor’ to exchange forward momentum into useless compressed air that gets thrown away in the exhaust. The result is a lot of ‘noise’ from the truck as it slows down. It’s not intimidation, it’s a valid way to slow down without excessive wear on wheel brakes. Or, it shouldn’t be intimidation. In some municipalities, engine braking or Jake braking isn’t permitted.
