  • Carney constructs a mega anti-Trump trade alliance

    Jump

  • It sounds like someone blowing a raspberry. The terrible name notwithstanding, I hope Carney can pull this off. I found him a bit disappointing in his first quasi-year in office but this would really deliver on his promise of Canada being a leader of the middle powers.

  • Portugal Hits 80% Renewables, Power Bills Drop €703M

    Jump

  • That's why oligarch-owned media are so important.

  • Man pardoned by Trump for attacking US Capitol found guilty of child abuse

    Jump

  • Oh, so that means he isn't a billionaire, I guess.

  • James Van Der Beek, the 'Dawson's Creek' star who later mocked his own hunky persona, has died at 48

    Jump

  • My doctor said 40 but YMMV

  • Europe’s $24 Trillion Breakup With Visa and Mastercard Has Begun

    Jump

  • We already have Interac, a good homegrown solution. I'm sure it wouldn't be that hard for banks to piggyback on it to make credit transactions rather than debit.

  • British Woman shot by dad in Texas after 'arguing about Donald Trump'

    Jump

  • It's perfectly on brand for the USA, really. This uppity woman didn't listen to the man of the house, so he had to wave his gun around to remind her of her place. He was so distraught at his authority being questioned that his gun accidentally went off while it was pointed at his daughter. The guy feels bad, so it's OK. Plus, as he said himself,

    Kris Harrison had replied that he had two other daughters who lived with him so it [his daughter being sexually assaulted] would not upset him that much.

  • Catherine O’Hara Dies: Beloved ‘Schitt’s Creek’, ‘SCTV’, ‘Home Alone’ Actor Was 71

    Jump

  • Quality reference! I always assumed she drew inspiration from that.

  • Where to go now since Linux is mainstream

    Jump

  • I didn't - I was just commenting on how its users are the new Arch users. It isn't a compliment.

  • Where to go now since Linux is mainstream

    Jump

  • NixOS is the new Arch. I'm surprised nobody here has said they use it yet.

  • La Corée du Sud viendra construire des véhicules électriques au Canada

    Jump

  • C'est une interprétation pas mal optimiste - je dirais plutôt qu'elle pourrait venir, pas qu'elle viendra :

    On peut y lire que les deux pays prévoient de coopérer afin d’augmenter la présence de l’industrie automobile coréenne au Canada et créer des opportunités de fabrication de véhicules électriques au pays.

  • Jim Pattison won't sell U.S. warehouse proposed as new ICE facility

    Jump

  • Yes, he's such a patriot that he wants to ensure only Canadians have the right to fuck over other Canadians.

  • Jim Pattison won't sell U.S. warehouse proposed as new ICE facility

    Jump

  • Pattison is an asshole but is somewhat of a patriot - they ran a bunch of pro-Canada messaging on their digital boards during the 51st state drama. Now excuse me as I go take a shower after defending him in the slightest.

    Canada separatists accused of ‘treason’ after secret talks with US state department

    Jump

  • For some reason a lot of y’all wanna bend over backwards to defend this shit.

    🙄

    Pray tell, what would these dumbfucks even know about science that it's worth leaking?

  • Removed

    Canada separatists accused of ‘treason’ after secret talks with US state department

    Jump

  • It's unlikely that these dorks are leaking military info (and why would the US even care?), but they should definitely be investigated. I think the real question is whether the US are using "force or violence", which would fall under C) and A)

    Canada separatists accused of ‘treason’ after secret talks with US state department

    Jump

  • Criminal charges are federal in Canada, but charges are laid by crown prosecutors in that particular province (never by the government itself)

    I don't think this actually meets the definition of treason, as they aren't using violence and are going the legislative/referendum route: https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/C-46/section-46.html

    1. Every one commits treason who, in Canada,

    a) uses force or violence for the purpose of overthrowing the government of Canada or a province;

    b) without lawful authority, communicates or makes available to an agent of a state other than Canada, military or scientific information or any sketch, plan, model, article, note or document of a military or scientific character that he knows or ought to know may be used by that state for a purpose prejudicial to the safety or defence of Canada;

    c) conspires with any person to commit high treason or to do anything mentioned in paragraph (a);

    d) forms an intention to do anything that is high treason or that is mentioned in paragraph (a) and manifests that intention by an overt act; or

    e) conspires with any person to do anything mentioned in paragraph (b) or forms an intention to do anything mentioned in paragraph (b) and manifests that intention by an overt act.

  • Senator demands answers after Trump accepted Rolex and gold bar before slashing tariffs on Switzerland

    Jump

  • Wilhoit keeps winning.

  • Yes

    Jump

  • Obviously not, even setting aside the claim that immigration would reduce violence against women, which is definitely not the case depending on which ethnoreligious group we're talking about.
