That’s the really convenient thing about the Bible. It can easily be quoted to support any arguement.

Including opposite sides of the same argument.

It’s a direct violation of the Americans’ precious separation of church and state.

Enough of this “the world will burn if we help the masses” bullshit.

That is almost always coming from the people threatening to burn the world if they don’t get their way.

And, of course, them getting their way will also burn the world, but just a bit slower.

That’s obviously not what the Canadian negotiators will want.

A major point of manufacturing here is to have jobs for the local population. (And, yes, another major point is to have supply to that manufacturing also come from our economy).

IIRC, he has used both terms (among other threats).

That’s the plan with all the deal making with other countries.

Makes trying to get a deal with the Americans much less important. And makes the Canadian poison much stronger in those potential negotiations.

For made an EV pickup. No one bought them.

Have you seen the prices the were asking?

Make them less of a "luxury " vehicle (both in terms of “options” and price) and more people will want to buy.

And another with France.

The American president has invited Canada to become his country’s “51st state,”

Not invited.

He threatened to annex Canada.

It’s always a roll of the dice what Trump might freak out about next.

Ultimately I think people are taking a bit of time to substantially shift their investment portfolios/strategies.

I have a meeting with my investment guy this afternoon.

The instructions I gave when scheduling the meeting were to get my investments out of the American economy as much as is possible (acknowledging that they’ve got their dirty little fingers in everything globally).

Last year I reduced my exposure to the US by about half, as he advised that the funds were already doing some amount of adjustment for risk avoidance so I shouldn’t make any “hasty decisions”.

Now I just want out. Even if it costs me a few points of growth in the short term.

Edit: meeting finished, the investment guy said I was far from his only client making the same request.

Every election in the future is going to see AI generated deepfake bullshit.

Hell, there are already fake AI commercials with “Carney” saying things he never said, and making claims that are the opposite of what his actual actions are.

Epstein’s “day job” was being a socialite.

…

because he was the guy who knew everybody in a position of power, his network shows who has the power.

Exactly. He was actively seeking out wealthy and influential people to add to his circle of influence.

people say the PC party is an Alberta-Manitoba party

What?

Have you seen who the Manitoba provincial government is?

Manitoba has never been part of the “western sepratism” bullshit either.

Exactly

I don’t think most voters want yet another federal election so soon after the last one. And will punish the party who causes a too soon general election.

There will be by-election to fill the empty seats, but that’s it.

Yes, but that noisy minority will waste a lot of everyone’s time and resources with their stupid fight before that referendum rejection.

Time and resources that should be put to more productive uses.

Puppeteers are like that

predict whether there’ll be an early spring or six more weeks of winter.

Where I live 6 more weeks of winter is an early spring.

A third of Canada’s nearly 300 data centres are U.S. owned.

Meaning that 2/3 aren’t.

Canada also already has a coast-to-cost fiber optic backbone that is both Canadian owned and on Canadian soil. It has overseas gateways on both coasts already.

That is a good starting point to build further infrastructure on top of.
