Was this not known? I've known that my fingers wrinkle the same in water every time since I was 5.

I know in Edmonton, at least, the Sun and the Edmonton Journal had their newsrooms merged. They're framed as alternatives, but the Sun has taken over the 'mainstream' option in places.

Don't fuck with the territories, apparently.

Way to unlovk splash damage as the new Battleship meta

Are we really getting to the point of attacking OAS now? Seriously? Like, I know everyone loves to hate on the boomers, but most of them didn't strike it rich, many live in homes that are old and not well maintained, have failing bodies, are being squeezed out of labour jobs, etc. Having a tiny, taxable income stream at a time where society is turning against you isn't some crazy benefit.

Attack the rich, not the old.

This isn't inherently an issue. I mean, it's the Liberals, so it probably is, but having a minister whose role is to actually sit down and critically learn about the topic, and report back to cabinet would be great.

It'll probably be a role focused on figuring out which specific confidence game to invest in, but it could be so much better than that.

I wonder when we'll finally revoke that license.

The choice to be on open-source, community-owned social media rather than corporate owned platforms is, itself, a political choice, and one that, in the absence of other focuses for discussion, will attract politically outspoken people. With no other core community here to focus discussion, everything will fall back to the things most people here have in common: FOSS, anti-corporate sentiments, etc., all of which are themselves inherently political topics.

He's not delusional. He's just lying. Downplaying Trump's threat to make Carney's positive press seem staged

The thing is, companies from thr larger provinces have so many more market protections than those from small ones. They have distribution networks already. Thry have a larger local customer base. They're in positions to just expand and take over.

You're more likely to see companies from Ontario or BC kill products from PEI or Nova Scotia than you are to see them on your shelves. Centralization is just cheaper.

Cool story. Guess you imagine yourself as being unaffected by things. Maybe you can fuck yourself with your privileged perch, then.

"It's chemicals!"

Technically correct, I guess.

Slowly, auto makers are moving back towards having actual buttons on things. Screens aren't likely to go anywhere, but the age of "everything's just a touch panel" is slowly coming to an end.

Let Canadian companies to fight each other and leave territorial guards out of it.

Yeah, I don't know. Gutting various industries in small provinces for the sake of companies in the big ones doesn't sound very neighbourly. Getting fucked over by Ontario, BC, or Alberta actually an upgrade in any real practical terms.

Because most people are not so anal retentive as to give a damn about Hasbros trademarks.

Well, the trade barriers aren't imposed by the federal government, so he can't just whip out his dick and make them disappear. Most trade barriers are really mismatched provincial regulations that make it difficult for businesses to establish standardized products or services from coast to coast, a patchwork network of provincial professional organizations, and a provincially enacted trade restrictions.

So, the federal government can only work as a mediator to make things happen.

Since he won the Liberal leadership, though, an interprovincial pact between Ontario, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia has been negotiated, with Manitoba signalling interest in signing on, and Nova Scotia and PEI have rolled out legislation to harmonize some of their regulations and standards. And I'm sure other deals have been struck, as well.

Yeah, but Albertans hear Quebec mentioned in the news once every six months and think they're totally alone and ignored while everyone else is getting constant attention. Meanwhile, their internal map of Canada is Alberta ("the west") and Ontario ("the east"), and if they speak of anywhere else in the country, it's with total and complete revulsion and spite.

But they do go on.

As the indigenous peoples of the prairies have already pointed out, by treaty, the provinces don't own the lands they're governing. The people can leave.

They don't get to take anything with them.

Le is pronounced "luh". La is pronounced "la".

What we're looking for here is les, the plural, which is pronounced "lay".

Unfortunately, you weren't the conduit through which he reached all of his fans. And that relationship is damaging society.
