I hope you’re right. I think that billionaire seeing markets dry up might be the only thing to slow it down though. With Canada, the USA has most if not all the natural resources it needs.

He’s a raving lunatic with the most powerful army in the world at his disposal, who has threatened to annex multiple sovereign states - and no checks or balances.

Yeah, free transit passes is a good push in the right direction.

It will.

A bunch of new furniture. The books have shelves, the tv isn’t on a stack of boxes, and we have seating furniture. It’s amazing what you get used to.

This is good advice, but I think Roblox is a game marketplace/platform, which makes that more difficult. It’s a harder sell to explore the social features as a family than a game.

St John’s to St Pierre, with a branch line to Miquelon.

I thought that the liquor monopoly in Canada are pulling American product? Jack Daniel’s is unmistakably a US brand.

I’ve got pets and just having the hair off the floors on a regular basis without having to spend 20 min a day hauling a vacuum around strikes me as being a nice labor savings. But I haven’t sprung for one yet.

Setting side the CSAM you found, you’ve got enough reasons to break up. Do it.

Do your best to report the material, but be safe. Some countries make it dangerous and hard to report, I understand. Do what you can.

I have a suspicion that a lot of people, when faced with this problem, just say “Sure, looks good to me. It’s legacy, so it’s been working forever,” and carry on with their day.

But - I could be mistaken.

A gentle reminder to not buy things you don’t need simply because they’re supposedly Canadian, or replace things simply because they’re from USA.

America never had good labour laws, and the anti-union propaganda has created generations who don’t know why unions were created in the first place. I don’t see this ending well for American labour.

Donnie doesn’t have a stable policy, and the immediacy of the tariffs simply will result in higher prices. Farmers can’t go back in time and plant alternate crops - the imports are necessary. Steel plants can’t just re-tool for a product that used to come from Brazil or Canada overnight. If the goal is to bring back the jobs, companies need time to adjust and plan and invest.

If you don’t have young kids, you don’t get sick nearly as often. It’s not like having a sick kid at home is a vacation. I don’t begrudge my coworkers their time off for illness or supporting family members with illness.

Yes, we know that the far right in Europe is supported by Pooty. This doesn’t represent a breakdown in unity.

That could - by no means a guarantee - result in vote splitting and worse outcomes.

“It’s not the people,” she said. “Everyone has been amazing and nice and kind.”

It is those people. The majority were silent and let this happen, or they voted directly for it. Now they continue to enable him.

It’s similar to Putin waxing poetic about Ukraine, to a degree.

“We’re so mad that you manufacture things cheaper than us, that we’re gonna make it so we pay more for those things.”

America doesn’t have aluminum manufacturing capacity. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/aluminum-kitimat-quebec-tariffs-jobs-1.7472032
