Especially when he has basically admitted that it is stock market manipulation. Everyone knows the tariffs will return or potentially even something stupider.

I’ve also noticed a huge flood of clearly biased articles from Postmedia-owned news groups (Postmedia is American and owns several news agencies that masquerade as Canadian). Very clearly being spread by bots that have no post history other spamming of Postmedia sludge.

I imagine PP’s tactic would be to align himself with Smith to give away Canada’s resources and assets to the Americans while scorning our allies, trade partners, and citizens.

Thanks! I’ll take that as a good sign 😆

He isn’t. He can’t be; not the way he has handled them.

Bringing industry and manufacturing back to US soil is actually not a bad idea at all but it’s a problem that needs to be tackled smartly and over a period of time so businesses can react. He is trying to force decades worth of economic migration in the span of a few months. For (hopefully) obvious reasons, that is impossible and the US economy is about to collapse.

And considering Trump, along with Musk at DOGE, have systematically destroyed economic and social safety-net programs… the aftermath of this is going to be catastrophic. The only way Trump is “right” about these tariffs is that they are an intentional sabotage of the US economy so him and his wealthy backers can cash out as the walls come crashing down. That is the goal and it’s going according to plan.

I want to pet the funky bird creature.

Singh has to go if the NDP ever wants to have even a shred of hope of being competitive in the polls again.

I don’t even think he’s a bad politician per se, but it’s obvious he is not resonating with Canadians and hasn’t for years.

Pushing your middle finger tightly into your thumb to build up pressure. Vary the pressure slightly and your middle finger will slip off your thumb, and due to the pressure built up, quickly slam into the base of your thumb and produce a loud sound.

Once you’re got the hang of that you can try it with other fingers. The ring finger works nicely as well.

I’ve noticed a few intersections around me have put up “Yield to bicycles when turning right” signs.

Sad that a basic fundamental rule of driving needs its own dedicated sign. It’d be like having a sign that says “Proceed on green”.

Great way to show how much integrity and honesty you have. Cowards.

Minimum 2 locks. And the lock featured in the article wouldn’t cut it. Or rather it would be cut… and quite easily too.

Possibly even 3 locks if you have a very valuable e-bike. But honestly I would just get a beat up junker bike and ride that instead if you need to park it in iffy places.

Do you know how I can tell when I have an incoming call or message? My phone, which is in my pocket, makes a noise and vibrates. Why the absolute hell would I want my vacuum cleaner to notify me of a call?

And the washer too? Do they seriously think people just sit around at home taking calls every 5 minutes that they need every appliance to be able to make/take phonecalls?

There are. It’s just the US is a large car-centric country which makes travel difficult and the ruling party controls almost all of the media and thus there is a media blackout on protests.

Dental and eyecare are largely private here in Canada, so yes. It will bleed your wallet dry unless you have insurance, work benefits, etc.

Guessing someone told Trump to back off because his meddling is costing the Conservatives the election.

I don’t think it will help though. He repeatedly threatened war on Canada. That’s not something you just pretend never happened.

History teaches us what power-hungry men do with honest and unbiased media.

In the case of the USA, that history is currently the present.

I sincerely hope Singh either resigns or is given the boot after this election. The party has sustained incredible losses under his leadership and they desperately need a new face that isn’t associated with the Trudeau era.

The NDP are at risk of losing official party status right now. There is absolutely nothing Singh can bring to the table to make anybody care except a resignation speech.

She went into prison in 2023 so she will be there for a while yet.

I don’t think her wealth is known exactly but she and her company lost billions during the scandal.

Elizabeth Holmes comes to mind. She manoeuvred herself into a position of wealth and power by defrauding other rich people and got herself 11 years in prison for it. That’s 11 years more than most other rich scumbags get.

Oh now that would be beautiful.
