Pretty much every car built anywhere in North America has parts from at least 2 of the 3 countries, not to mention China. Sometimes parts end up going across the border multiple times before they end up as a fully assembled car.

These are all way better than any tariffs we could respond with.

No, that kinda fucks over most of us who are just getting by. If someone can't afford to buy gas how would they be able to afford an EV? We need the prices to drop to a level everyone wants to buy an EV, not make every option cripplingly expensive.

Why would we waste time with a new agreement in the next 4 years when it won't be worth the paper it's printed on?

If we were on DST that would be 5:30ish.

Yeah, personally this made me question why a lot of these grocery and child products were taxed to begin with. I guess I never paid enough attention, I assumed a bunch were but I guess I was confusing it with PST.

Yeah, based on my own experience any time I see an employer make a statement about negotiations I assume everything they didn't mention about their offer is absolute garbage.

"This union is so greedy, look at this 25% wage increase they denied."

I have to assume they're also asking for concessions like no overtime pay and changing scheduled shifts up until the last second.

Is "forced-labour" not synonymous with slavery?

If you want mountains, you're kinda limited. Vancouver, BC, has great mountains, ocean, and forest access, but COL is pretty high for Canada compared to almost anywhere in the world. Calgary, AB is the closest city to the Canadian Rockies, but is in the middle of nowhere elsewise.

Slight clarification

I'm from BC and my experience is the same. I will say however I have stayed in hotels and Airbnb's with thermostats/hot tubs set in F. So whether or not that was deliberate, it's a simple setting to change. You could easily get by with F for all your personal temperature needs, just not talking to others about the weather.

I only remember going to Harvey's once, probably because the only one I ever saw was inside a Home Depot, but it seems like they left BC completely quite a while ago.

I haven't worked in many places with a walk in freezer, but the several I have all had alarms in them. Not automatic, but if the door was stuck there was a big red button next to it that would set off a siren and flashing light outside.

Yeah, these crown-corp/government owned corp systems are run like a for profit business because they aren't funded enough to run like a true public service. On the flip side this is exactly why governments do it, they can say, "hey we gave them $x. It's their problem if they can't make it work, not ours."

I don't have one of these so I'm not sure, but couldn't you leave the default network as-is for the tvs to work but still plug in a separate router for everything else?

This is a good thing, but why aren't people giving the "discount" brands a shot? I use Public Mobile (it's been fully owned by Telus for years) and I have 50gb that also works in the US for under 40 bucks/month. I can't think of any reason people should be willingly giving these companies twice as much money for less service.

Ironically, her analogy works way better for her own party than it does for whatever she's trying to say.

I can think of several times one of my coworkers was guilted into showing up when they tried to call in sick which ended up with 5 people calling in the few days after.

Isn't there a huge difference between safe supply and safe consumption sites? I agree with safe consumption sites if it keeps people from dying on the streets, but if the safe supply is allowed to leave the site it's not really solving any of the problems.

I don't think the original story would've blown up if that was what she was initially charged with.

The original owner was the car dealership that's now selling them. So officially, they were stolen from the dealer, but it really sounds like they were stolen by the dealer from their own customers
