Sore winners, wow... Politics isn't a spectator sport, like Canada's biggest loser or lingerie football. Although many would like it to be.

Sore winners 😔

Thanks 🙏 for the positive note. I feel like all parties will be changing now, except maybe for the Green Party.

And it actually proves the point they're against: See ? Volcanoes spewing CO2 for years caused the temperature to go way up and everything was fine... Everything meaning the massive ferns and bugs that lorded over the hot rocks.

It's a strange point to make. Temperatures being at deadly levels when humans weren't around isn't reassuring to me, for one.

Kind of a super socialist idea, that people can't lend out the money they have on hand. Fractional reserve banking has been around forever. It's another one of those issues like the gold standard... Where somebody talks about how it influences everything but nobody is really sure why. And conventional economists barely mention this stuff.

As typified by the "who cares" responses, Climate Change's big impact is that it revealed a public sphere that can't coalise on problem solving.

At this point, everybody needs a deal. The question everyone's asking is, who can I deal with that will keep their word? The US is off the table. They make up agreements, then tear them up on a whim. Europe is culturally, politically, strategically the best alignment but they're not geographically close.m China? We have done deals with them, and to my mind they kept them... But those weren't great deals for us IMO. Trudeau actually canceled some because of security concerns, if you can believe that. There is lots of money in the system to be aligned towards hard-working Canadians. How to do that, keeping productivity and efficiency as a priority, and rewarding the investor class... Will take a lot of brains and politics.

Nor Harper...

Kudos to you, Queen, I should never be as brave as you to make any prediction let alone one is bold as this. I do agree that anything can happen in these turbulent times...

But if a conservative gets into office, people will stop reporting individual incidents and blaming the PM for everything that happens. So we'll be safe at that point.

Indeed, this is true and I suspect that The political power of those who don't want these people to be an eyesore.... Camping in our Parks... Or existing for that matter... Far outweighs the power of the afflicted. And yet, this system of collaborative and coordinated neglect is how we run all of our public institutions. So we get Rock bottom public costs, and problems not being solved, sometimes getting worse. And somehow this lowest common denominator still becomes fuel for populism. Once in awhile there's a huge event and everybody gets out of their chairs and starts yelling for a couple of weeks, then we go back to it.

He also nodded off, looking quite slovenly...

Sad icon, for being a sore winner... Or expecting to be one. We have a conservative PM, no reason to think he wouldn't have run for the CPC just as Doug Ford, Patrick Brown etc.

Trump's different, because everyone knows he doesn't mean what he says. 🤔

I don't know how old you are, but an early lesson in politics is to learn that politicians lie.

They can also wear makeup and dresses, and call themselves by a girl's name though right?

Canada is a highly educated country, maybe they didn't care about the wef nonsense, maybe they didn't care about wives. Maybe they didn't like Trudeau because of his condescending attitude and continued mismanagement. Maybe Canada just wants proper governance?

Given the reported LOW sale price for said vehicles, what would be the issue with additional Canadian labour component even if it drives the price up a little? This topic screams for an industry expert ...

Interesting idea. I assume the bar is lower, now that our number one trading partner kidnaps people and deports them without due process.

Amazing... After all Rupert has done for him ..

I do feel sorry for dumb people who make decisions that go against their interests. This is why I weep for the chuds. You can find Trump fans online waiting for things to turn around any day now...

1. My expectations are spot on. I am waiting on something that I don't expect to see in my lifetime. Sir John A. was pretty good. Sir Mackenzie Bowell was pretty bad. 2. Agreed. I don't think a lifetime as an MP is a good place to start for making wholesale changes. As for Carney... while I do think he understands economic matters, I wonder if he knows how to govern. I think we're in for a bad few years, in all likelihood. My prayers are with you if you work in small business, real estate or anything to do with that business, startups ...

It doesn't matter much to me. I haven't heard anything from these leaders that tell me they're the Holy Grail I have been waiting on.

I think this works the same throughout the west as a way of 'attracting' investment, tech etc. The thing is you can't change the rules of such things unilaterally or you will lose out. This is called 'the race to the bottom'. In the end, we will see that the populists are whiffing at the truth of the matter after all: working people with low skillset and few options are 100% shafted by western governments who treat them like chattel. The big surprise: getting Trump to tariff all of the cheap goods they rely upon to live is not the answer.
