Subsidized daycare Legalized MJ Increasing the Childcare Benefit Securing a trade deal with the US the first time I suspect the OP poster is AI considering he's taking about Kamala being elected POTUS.

Do you not read? They're being detained while trying to follow the rules for being in the country legally.

He campaigned on removing violent criminals, not this. That was the whole messaging around this gulag in El Salvador. Sperm-head Stephen Miller is moving to deport as many people as possible. He set a goal of 3,000 arrests a day. The ugly truth about the US, and Canada's economy for that matter, is its fueled by cheap immigrant labour. Who's going to make all these iPhones and clothing items Trump is trying to onshore? It won't be whitey with a liberal arts degree. This will backfire if the list of innocent lives destroyed grows. There are plenty of undocumented immigrants in Texas. What happens when they raid a Home Depot in Texas, will he send the marines to a Red State?

That includes people who came here as children and people getting detained attending meetings so they can try to stay in the country legally. As this continues there'll be more innocent people swept up in storm to meet some arbitrary quota.

I mean violent criminals, gang members and such. And these ICE agents seem to be rounded people up and asking questions later. They're breeding a culture of fear.

Right out of the fascism playbook. I'm sure the ICE agents weren't trying to incite violence themselves.

By oppressive fascism. . .

The stated goal is to deport 1 million people this year. It's quickly moved away from simply deporting criminals. Stephen Miller was angry that those goal aren't being met, he told ICE agents to go to Home Depot to try and snag day labourers. This is not about safety, it's about reaching a quota. So they're snatching people off the street and figuring it out later. Last week there was a report of ICE detaining a high school student that came to the country when he was 5 while he was going to a Volleyball practice. This is inhumane. If Canada was doing this, I'd be appalled. It's certainly a big reason why tourism to the US is down, and why I'm not going to be eager to give them my tourism dollars anytime soon. The US is going down a very dark path.

You know you've won an argument when someone claims sealioning. The goal here has always been to prompt a violent response. ICE has been picking up kids going to school, separating families, arresting people on their way to immigration hearings. All the while they're wearing masks to hide their identity. When people stand up, Trump can set the precedent that he can send the troops in the incite more violence. This all is straight out of the fascist playbook. America is quickly losing any reputation of actually being a free country. "Conservatives" were appalled when law enforcement was carrying out federal orders in Ottawa during the convoy. They were allowed to protest for 3 freakin' weeks and wouldn't leave.

For someone whom uses their brain to analyze the situation in the US one would have to come to the conclusion that fiscal responsibility will never be a priority for Trump. It's not his money, it's all about him and his friends and family. The DOGE experiment was a social one. He was only allowed to pillage agencies that handled items that opposed the Trump narrative. If you really want to save money, slashing military spending would be the easiest way to do it. But this BBB increases military spending. In an age where a hostile power can ship death drones next military installation, B2 bombers and Abram tanks seem relatively quaint. I don't know how people can't recognize that everything Trump is doing is geared towards making himself and his billionaire friends even richer. Nothing in here really helps the working class all that much. No tax on tips is a symptom of a society where consumers have to subsidize workers salaries because they don't need to be paid minimum wage. It's all corporate greed. If Elon really believes in fiscal responsibility he should sabotage the GOP politicians that voted for this bill. It'll make following US politics exponentially more entertaining.

You miss the point. They received a ZERO PERCENT raise for 15 year. I'm not sure anything about DoFo is "Woke". But you're a MAGA bot, so what else could I expect.

In isolation it seems pretty steep. But MPP (not MLA) pay has been frozen since 2009. It's still an above average salary, but you're not going to attract quality candidates if the starting salary hasn't changed for 15 years.

It's disinformation for anyone to believe those forces were not Russian-backed, if not outright Russian troops themselves.

Ahh appeasement has worked so well throughout history.

Ukraine attacks the bridge to Crimea. They're now daring Putin to commit war crimes.

Cept Pearl Harbour was an unprovoked attack. Russia has been targeting Civilians for Three years. They deserve everything they get.

An SUV with a moderate sized battery that can only get 50 kms of EV only range is only really good for people that have short commutes. When a car like this is used on a road-trip it ends up actually using up more fuel because of the additional weight. It's better to use a traditional hybrid that helps with city driving by reducing the effort of the engine at slower speeds and can kick in occasionally while cruising.

Another instance of TACO. He'll probably announce he's secured a deal at the G7 for some extra profit taking. The US doesn't have the ability to 100% sole source their steel and aluminum production locally. This just means inflationary effects for the American consumer.

No mention of this yet? https://www.nbcnews.com/world/ukraine/ukraines-massive-drone-attack-deep-russia-lays-bare-putins-vulnerabili-rcna210300 Russian territory needs to be part of the battleground. It seems Putin may want this ceasefire after all.

The Outlander PHEV is not a good car. It barely even a hybrid car. After the battery is drained it has worse fuel efficiency than a comparable ICE Hybrid.

The only automaker that's remotely serious about PHEVs is Toyota. The options just aren't out there. You'd be better just sticking with a Hybrid. We're heating that Chinese EV tech has gotten charging times down really low and prices too. I think within the next 10 years we'll have cars with even quicker charging times. Then we'll need more of them. So Gas Stations will move from pumping gas to rows of Stage 3 chargers. The next issue is generating capacity. More acceptance of Nuclear power will be a potential fix to this.

In this time where the US is threatening Canadian identity, it's nice to be reminded that we are part of a very cool group of nations: The Commonwealth. I'm sure many think we should just become a run-of-the-mill Republic, but being part of this club based on the British form of government is a desirable trait to the Canadian identity. The last time the true head of state gave a throne speech in Canada was in 1977. I think the gesture of having him speak to usher in this new government is a powerful symbol of Canadians true identity.

We've gone over this. If you can't charge at home, EVs aren't for you, yet. Lots of Condo units are making them available, but it's still not the norm. We'll need more public charging stations for it to be viable for condo dwellers. But yes, PHEV could be a good option for condo dwellers as the internal ICE engine is able to charge the battery as with other Hybrids. Plenty of towns have access to Stage 2 chargers for free or nominal costs now. Those are perfect for PHEVs. The upfront cost of adding an EV charging set up at a single family home isn't much. My new car actually came with a dual 110 and 240 charger in the trunk. So all you need is a mechanism to get a NEMA 40 plug within 10-15 feet of where you will park the car. I have not yet seen my insurance balloon because of my ownership of an EV. And I just recently had to write my previous one off due to body damage unrelated to the battery. New EV tech is making the road trip argument much less an issue. You're talking 10-80% times of under a half an hour with ranges approaching or exceeding 500 kms. I don't know who's in so much of a rush on their road trip that they can't take accept a 30 minute pit stop every 3 hours of driving. I know that travelling with kids makes that mandatory. The Ivy Stage 3 chargers at OnRoute locations in Ontario have an App that will let you know if they're available as you approach you can know if you'll be able to charger or not. I should be doing a mini road trip in the next few weeks. I'm eager to see how the situation has improved for EV charging with a new model.

The thing about PHEVs are that they usually aren't much cheaper than full EVs.
