Not even a fork. New code.

Clearly.

However, look at the polls before and after the recent swing in Liberal fortunes. There is little movement in the conservatives. It mostly a shift to Liberal from NDP.

So the Liberals have gotten back people protesting the Liberals, not people the genuinely like the Conservatives.

Sadly, I do not think he will pull many conservatives. All he needs to do though is hold them to the 30% of wing it’s who love the blue and to pull enough NDP votes to win.

Personally I think it should be a requirement to be vetted by a country’s intelligence service in order to run for office.

I am not saying that you cannot run or be voted in. You can run no matter what.

I do think that the results of your screening should be public. Not the details, more just the thumbs up or down.

People need to know the danger you are in.

Yes please. So clearly the right move.

The same forces that created Trump are at work in Canada. And they are supported by US organizations. Have you noticed that suddenly even second tier US politicians have opinions about Trudeau, Carney, and Pollievre? It is the same as Musk in Germany. We are under attack.

There is no greater enemy than a friend betrayed

Their strategy instead is to announce wars and terrify every 20 minutes so that the news cycle is too full of other crisis to remember this guy.

People underestimate the issues that stale packages cause as well as the fragility that comes from the ways people introduce either newer packages or packages missing from the repos.

With Arch, everything is super up-to-date and you pretty much never install from outside the repos. It makes the system extremely robust and reliable (what I want from “stable”).

Finally pacman (and yay) are awesome and I trust them to do updates of thousands of packages at once. With Debian and Ubuntu, I lived in fear of those kind of updates uninstalling essential parts of my system. I had Fedora botch more than one upgrade release to release.

So, I also find Arch the most “stable” system I have used (though Chimera is looking awesome so far as well).

In the Linux world though, the word “stable” has come to mean “static” and unchanging as in RHEL and Debian. Arch is not “stable” by that definition.

I did have an issue with Arch in the past couple years. A kernel update cause the WiFi on one laptop to stop working on the latest kernel. I also have an LTS kernel install so rebooting into that brought me back up in a minute. When I checked a few days later, the problem had been fixed in the current kernel as well.

Most of it is historical momentum. Regardless of relative quality, far more people try Fedora and so far more people stick with it.

As for Tumbleweed specifically, many people do not like rolling distros. I do.

We should be calling the US media to run stories about the problem Canada has with drugs coming over its southern border.

Trump took office on January 2025. Boycott started in February 2025. Ya, you really got us with those 2024 numbers. “Mike drop” indeed.

All that does is highlight how much they have to lose. Canadians were 20% of their tourism in 2024. Let’s get that down to zero.

Another way to look at it is that we thought there was no way to avoid a conservative government. Mark Carney has brought back the possibility that somebody else could win.

What will stop Mark Carney from winning will be if too many people vote NDP. If that happens, we get Pollievre. That is just the math.

Personally, I do not like to vote to send a message or complete a survey. I like to try to pick the best available government.

As a candidate to win, the NDP is not one of the options this election. You have two choices. Please pick one.

If your number two choice is going to win, picking the opposition is a viable strategy. However, if your last place pick is going to win, maybe vote for whoever has the best chance of beating them (otherwise you are choosing your last place pick).

Why do you think Panama and Canada came up on the same day. Yea, Northwest Passage.

Thank you for clearly outlining the depth of your analysis.

Recognition but not love. They will have no money.

The Swaticar is losing popularity in Europe?

Canada can set safety standards however they want. Chinese EVs are available elsewhere, like Australia. Are they catching fire there?

Or is there one video in China where these vehicles already sell in huge numbers?

No he didn’t. They were already making them when he got there.

The US does not produce much that is not available from Canada, Mexico, or Asia.

You have to go to Europe to buy aircraft.

The US is a service economy. Are you going to black market software or cloud services?

Does Sea of Thieves work on Linux? I thought it had kernel anti-cheat.
