Canada has been increasingly a “branch plant economy” since the '50s.
Wealthy foreigners swoop in and buy up anything thwy can find.
That’s why so many of the foreign ownership rules were put in originally. Unfortunately, Harper (and other conservative governments) have weakened or eliminated a lot of those rules.
I’ll believe it when I see it.
That whole “invasion of immigrants” has been FUD from the beginning
As was “they’re ripping us off” and “fentanyl flooding across the Canadian border”.
Pretty much *everything * Trump has done, he’s tried to justify it with easily disproven lies.
Does that include the judge they arrested?
I cant wait for all the 2nd amendment preppers to fight against this tyranny
I’m sure they’ll get right on that any day now…
And when the government isn’t afraid of the people, what then?
nor a body that lends itself to being exposed in public.
It’s not a fashion show or a best body competition.
A part of the point of the event is body acceptance and societal normalizing that we all have bodies and there is nothing inherently wrong with how they look.
I hope your optimism can become reality.
But we thought Trump’s blatant corruption and criminality the first time would be more than enough to keep the Republicans out of power for a few decades…
The real world isn’t binary, bud.
Why does society need to have billionaires?
It doesn’t. In an ideal utopian society there wouldn’t be billionaires.
But, given the reality that billionaires do exist, I’d rather have them using their accumulated wealth on disease curing/prevention than them just sitting on the money or using it to actively fuck over entire populations (like Musk has been doing).
That doesn’t mean Gatws or Buffet are *good billionaires *, it means they are less bad.
Shades of grey exist. Nuance is a real auseful ful thing.
None are preferable.
Yes, that is accepted.
But, given the reality that billionaires do exist, one that spends his money curing diseases is less bad than one who is closing hospitals serving war round populations or actively starving people.
The longer it goes on the easier it becomes.
Retailers are following the money and seeking out more Canadian supply to put on their shelves.
Manufacturers are increasing their output, or are diverting supply fthat they previously sent south.
And regular folks are voting with their wallets and making new buying habits - habits that, once established, will need some impetus to break when/if the US regains its sanity.
Carney provided no indication that his leadership would be any different.
Getting to net zero is a major reoccurring theme in Carney’s book.
His proposal is to use regulatory frameworks to make it be in businesses best interests for them to choose to make better environmental choices.
and don’t they even get to swear an oath to it daily?
Such a creepy cult-like ritual.
I think the problem here is that most Americans can’t tell minorities apart,
The greater problem is that they think someone’s ethnicity should impact how they treat that person.
Technically everyone is the same race - the human race.
I think it’s only the prairies that even have coal plants anymore?
Specifically Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Manitoba is also a “hydro powerhouse”. And is also an exporter of hydro to Ontario and the US.
then it’ll be easy to get pregnant
Whether you want to or not…
I hope they’re not as ridiculous as the Canadian Reform party was.
They just keep giving me even more more reasons to never set foot in their country ever again.
