  • Critical minerals, green energy, and 'certainly an opening for other markets:' European delegation seeking ‘better relations with Canada’

    Jump

  • I'm no expert on international trade relations, but this feels like a meaningful reciprocation of our earlier outreach. It's heartening.

  • Snowbird selloff: Canadians are parting ways with U.S. properties

    Jump

  • "Don't assume a specific individual isn't among the 30% who tried" isn't a "both sides" argument. Neither is there any pragmatism in proactively excluding someone who might already be your ally, nor in purity testing those who wish to be.

    No matter how angry you are today, that anger will fade. I hope your decisions are being driven by something more steadfast.

  • The principle remains: judge the group for its collective behavior, but don't stereotype the individual.

  • Pharma companies urge Trump administration to target Canadian drug pricing

    Jump

  • I'm not terribly familiar with Brazil's politics or economics, but I'd wager they're implying the hazards of becoming a direct, unambiguous threat to (external/private) capitalism. Canada's not too big to become a banana republic, if enough forces get behind manufacturing consent for war special military operations.

  • Jordan Peterson begging his cult to vote for Pierre Poilievre

  • It's "linguistic repositioning" at its finest.

  • Green Party Launches Foreign Policy Plan to Strengthen Canada’s Sovereignty and Global Role

    Jump

  • I'm sure Modi will be delighted to join a coalition against authoritarianism. India would make a pretty tenuous ally -- to put it mildly.

  • Cops don’t protect women. Food, housing, and money do.

  • Maybe men should start supporting each other. You know, as long as admitting to having feelings isn't too gay or whatever.

  • Quebec trans woman convicted of triple homicide to serve time in men's prison

  • I was waiting for some context like this before forming an opinion. Thank you for surfacing it.

  • Government Roles and Responsibilities

    Jump

  • The article seems to be rather incomplete. Just off the top of my head I notice the absence of anything regarding foreign affairs at all, let alone tariffs, and no mention of sales tax, national defense, food safety and supply management…

    Presumably, it's pruned to focus on the things people confuse. But these days that's likely to include foreign affairs and trade. I don't think premiers are normally anywhere near as involved in that as currently, and I don't have a solid understanding of provincial authority there myself.

  • A look at religion in Carney, Poilievre, Singh and May’s lives

    Jump

  • Earning condemnation from Campaign Life Coalition is an extremely low bar. Case in point: even Poilievre cleared it. I don't know what could possibly warrant even mentioning the opinion of a gossamer-masked hate group.

  • In the rush for Canada’s critical minerals, Indigenous rights and sovereignty are being ignored

    Jump

  • There's a generalization being made here that's only supported by one anecdote. But as anecdotes go, holy hell and fuck that guy. One could have no regard for the most basic human decency and he should still be deposed for abject incompetence as a negotiator/salesperson.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Ford said some overtly divisive stuff in his zeal for mining developments. But behavior like Rivet's cannot be laid at Ford's feet. That's the behavior of a man who made a choice long, long ago about what kind of person he'd be.

    Attorney General Pam Bondi directs prosecutors to seek death penalty for Luigi Mangione

  • While I hope you're wrong in general and fear you're right about this specific outcome, I'm confident you're at least partly wrong about the bigger picture.

    Lessons not learned will be re-taught.

  • Rules for c/Canada during the election season

    Jump

  • To what extent? Do we have an issue with Reuters or AP now? How about Canadian commentators like Steve Boots on foreign YouTube?

    I'm having a hard time envisioning a rule around this that can be enforced equitably, but we can equitably reject content regardless of source, based on established merits of its substance.

  • It's just another example of Canada letting the U.S. dictate our IP laws to their media moguls' benefit, for the sake of trade. These are the things Dumpster does not count in the balance of a deal yet presumes is entrenched even after reneging on that deal.

    If the deal is ripped up, it should be ripped up entirely.

    We're being gifted more freedom to make sure our own laws are working for us.
