Penne lisce is a capital crime.

The real modern competitor to Amazon could have been Consumers Distributing.

Look, these are Old Stock Hindus…

Poillevre knows that if he doesn’t do shit like this, the rank-and-file CPC members will dump him for someone with stronger Nazi bona fides.

The problem is that, if he wants to be elected, what will get him an easy majority is just not not being Nazi. Chong or Charest could have beaten Trudeau handily.

This is the problem with courting the Nazi vote: it results in your path to power being Nazification of the rest of the electorate, and your PR ends up being low-brow Triumph of the Will, while your election sloganeering is dogwhistling. Personally, I hope he gets sent packing again and the CPC splits in two.

I miss the days of Metrowerks Codewarrior

There’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time…

For a tax that barely affected the income of people who were already very, very rich, they sure did bitch about about it.

Keep your receipts. If you don’t keep your receipts, that’s on you.

Real estate has been a free ride for investors for at least two decades and it’s made people homeless and broken the financial future of at least two generations. I don’t particularly care if house-rich boomers and elder Xers have to keep receipts.

If I was elected Prime Minister, I’d just make real estate agents illegal purely out of spite.

Fucking parasites, all of them. They add no real value to the economy whatsoever.

I wonder if it would help if we banned fly-by-night couriers that Amazon et al use and diverted more of that volume through CP.

They’d be better-paying jobs, too.

It would cut into the capital available to commercial banks, so of course it won’t happen. RBC, TD, CIBC, BMO and Scotia do not want to lose those sweet customer deposits.

Same reason we don’t get public rail and public telecomms: essential services can only be delivered if they make a rich person richer.

“The federal government needs to change their mandate, defending rural areas isn’t profitable so we should scale back the military”

“The provincial government needs to change their mandate, providing healthcare to old people isn’t profitable so we should scale back hospitals and just let them fend for themselves”

Still applies:

Canada’s elite scapegoat imgrants while completely ignoring that Canada’s elites are the ones who wanted more migrants so they could have migrants renting and sleeping in shifts in the houses the elite own, and working for a pittance wage and no complaints at the Tim Hortons franchises the elites also own.

(And yes, I know it’s more complex than that, but the same people who benefit from goosing GDP through immigration while keeping taxes low just happen to support political parties that make hay on dogwhistled racism)

You want us back?

Impeach Trump.

Then, if Vance fucks around, impeach him, too. Then Johnson. Keep going until you find someone who isn’t a fascist asshat.

That would help with America’s “trust” problem.

1. It can’t.
2. No

Want to get their attention?

Sanction money flowing from Canada to Israel; have FINTRAC either freeze funds, if not outright freeze accounts, of people and organizations sending money abroad.

$250M is sent from Canadians to Israel yearly, more than anywhere else. That’s…something…for a supposedly developed democracy

IGA is a Sobeys affiliated banner.

Honestly? Costco.

They pay and treat their employees well and, despite being a US company, they’re pretty good about sourcing things from outside the US. They’re also defying Trump’s anti-DEI crusade.

Yes, they’re still a multi-billion-dollar corporation, but they’re the best of a bad lot by a wide margin.

#Letstalk about nationalization.

He’s in a lose-lose situation right now: if he moderates, he stands a better chance at being elected in the general–not a given!–but if he loses his base will eat him alive. He might even lose his seat.

If he leans more into fascism, he’ll still lose the general but might keep his job and his seat.

Poor Pierre. If he hadn’t been a grievance-peddling fascist bootlicker for the last several decades I’d almost feel bad for him. Almost.
