1. I can't see most of the posts you refer to due to the IGNORE function. 2. Go ahead, but it's not a wholesome pleasure IMO...it's back to the tedious back-and-forth that true dialogue should alleviate. 3. Ok 4. He could snipe at every move the government makes, and eventually swoop in and win an election which would rightfully be attributed to external factors. And then all of the vultures you're currently mocking would lick their chops and have a laugh at YOUR expense. The wheel in the sky turns forever....

Always better to talk about knowledge and ideology versus 'intelligence'. There are lots of intelligent people on all sides of an issue.

"Fake" meaning... "incorrect" or that someone cooked the books ? Conspiracies are hard to manage, but there's something to be said for an elusive public that rejects the establishment and simultaneously rejects their measurement techniques. AmIright ?

The problem with the US is that the electorate doesn't follow conventional information sources anymore... so they can't be relied on to elect a reasonable government.

Look at some of the ardent CPC supporters on here who are being wholistic in their perspective. Politics is only a spectator sport if, like sports, it doesn't matter. We're at an existential crossroads here, so take it seriously.

If you can point to which part of Dad Kapital Marx wrote about converting to electric vehicles? I'm really hoping that all the parties change, to become more collaborative. I don't see the Liberals going back to the moralism that help bring Trudeau down and I hope Conservatives can return to the pragmatic functionalism that has marked every great conservative PM that we have had. I don't know if Carney is going to be able to weather the political economic storm that's coming, but even if he's out in one year he can do a lot for the country by bringing up the level of dialogue between the factions.

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 ...
