Huh. Is there a way I could have asked that without implying an answer, or a value judgement about the answer?

Like, if it was two hours on every trip I’d say it’s not worth the added safety, but a lot of driving tends to happen off of local streets anyway, so I was honestly wondering.

They had to explicitly exempt religious texts, lol.

That she wants to keep her party together at all costs, including the wingnuts.

Maybe she’s anti-vaxx herself as well, I don’t know, it’s hard to tell.

Yes, she is shit. The only bright spot is that her government feels like it could fall apart at any time.

From the article:

The plane’s fuel was tested and found to be of satisfactory quality,

For the Republicans, it’s either this guy or a recently promoted conspiracy influencer with random frat bros as staff. The Democrats will still manage to lose.

(This is my impression as a Canadian)

Good for you! That’s quite the impressive setup.

So how much time will this add to most trips, in the end?

Edit: I have no formed opinion on this policy. I don’t even know which side is downvoting me, lol.

What about just enforcement?

We’d love to. You know we get it first and in higher concentration, right? Not to mention all our shit that burns down in the process.

And I mean, it’s from the climate change that you helped make as well…

Only sort of facetiously, it’s all filmed up here anyway.

Yes, the tech and media giants are harder to avoid. Ali Express has left a lot to be desired as an Amazon replacement, although I haven’t quite given up. For streaming, CBC Gem is publicly funded. The boycott is mainly targeted at physical products.

Stagnant wages aren’t that new. 2008 was worse. The rest, yeah.

“Never let a good crisis go to waste”

In a way that’s refreshing. The levels of anti-government sentiment globally has been insane, and was always going to consume itself one way or the other. Power vacuums don’t last.

I really hope a tax hike is the direction he goes with this. The “we’ll save billions with AI” thing from the election was bullshit, at the very least. Potentially, conventional digitisation could save quite a bit, but it will probably take a while, and more debt is also imprudent.

Europeans are still most concerned by Vladimir Putin’s Russia, Pew Research Center survey shows.

We understand America better. They’ll come around - especially if Russia starts having serious internal problems.

Half of Canada was fully on the Trump bus the day before the tariffs hit.

I’d say that’s a high estimate. Maybe 20%, with another 60% that just wasn’t worried about it very much.

This isn’t new, unfortunately. Fascism was trendy and influential in polite circles all through the 1920’s and early 30’s. Then they actually got to put their ideas in practice. Humans can be pretty shit like that.

“Whoops, we pinky swear we’ll investigate ourselves for that. Anyway, since they’re all gone now, we can go back to normal relations with the rest of the world, right?”

Ah yes, you could say it’s a camp where they can be nicely concentrated.

Yes, this hasn’t closed the door forever (as far as I can tell), and Carney doesn’t seem like an idiot, so I hold out hope this is some kind of maneuvering, and he’s still as “elbows up” as he was on the campaign trail.

Yeah, if you’re looking at food in China, there’s a real argument to avoid anything artificial-seeming because of incidents like this. I’m told it’s part of the reason why wet markets are so popular - there’s no doubt if your meat is real and unadulterated when you just saw it running around.
