Great way to show how much integrity and honesty you have. Cowards.

Do you know how I can tell when I have an incoming call or message? My phone, which is in my pocket, makes a noise and vibrates. Why the absolute hell would I want my vacuum cleaner to notify me of a call?

And the washer too? Do they seriously think people just sit around at home taking calls every 5 minutes that they need every appliance to be able to make/take phonecalls?

There are. It's just the US is a large car-centric country which makes travel difficult and the ruling party controls almost all of the media and thus there is a media blackout on protests.

Dental and eyecare are largely private here in Canada, so yes. It will bleed your wallet dry unless you have insurance, work benefits, etc.

Guessing someone told Trump to back off because his meddling is costing the Conservatives the election.

I don't think it will help though. He repeatedly threatened war on Canada. That's not something you just pretend never happened.

History teaches us what power-hungry men do with honest and unbiased media.

In the case of the USA, that history is currently the present.

She went into prison in 2023 so she will be there for a while yet.

I don't think her wealth is known exactly but she and her company lost billions during the scandal.

Elizabeth Holmes comes to mind. She manoeuvred herself into a position of wealth and power by defrauding other rich people and got herself 11 years in prison for it. That's 11 years more than most other rich scumbags get.

Oh now that would be beautiful.

Yes, but also no. Canada not only has a lot more potash than Russia does but we're also better equipped to export it to the US. For potash to get from Russia to the US it would have to be transported overland to a port, loaded onto a ship, travel essentially across the entire globe, make port, unload, get put on a train or truck, and sent to where it is needed. And that's assuming Russia even has the infrastructure to facilitate exports of such a scale to the US. Exporting it from Canada means tossing it on a train just yeeting it down across the border. Even with hefty tariffs with Canada in place, buying from Russia would still be pissing money away.

Canada still has leverage over the US when it comes to potash but Russia selling to other countries is a problem.

Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

She is so transparently an asset of the Heritage Foundation. I hope Albertans show her the door next election but I've learned to not put any faith in the Albertan people.

Is it missing ROPs too?

I wish these people would just move down there instead of dragging the rest of us with them into their pit of misery.

Fish do too. Fish have pressure sensors down the lengths of their bodies they use for navigation, sensing prey and predators, and communicating.

My gouramis are making clicking noises in their tank as I type this. Love those things.

Myths like this have always made me kinda angry. Anybody that has owned fish for more than a few days could easily say that this isn't true at all.

But aside from that - animals simply wouldn't exist if they were that stupid. The world is a dangerous place, especially underwater. Not having even basic memory and pattern recognition would be a one-way flight to extinction.

And also the large reason the Cons were polling so far in the lead is because of Trudeau fatigue.

Now that he's gone things have balanced out again.

Depends on by whom and how long. The US produces a lot of things but also imports a lot of critical goods and materials as well.

If Canada, Mexico, China, and the EU & UK all banded together for sanctions or embargoes? The US economy would be pushing daisies pretty quick. Especially if the actions were coordinated and did not give the US time to react and adjust.

But the countries issuing those actions wouldn't be in good shape either. Trade wars are a 2-way street.

This is why blaming conservatives or getting them to admit fault doesn't work. It only makes them become more defensive and entrenched.

A better approach is to appeal to their victim complex. IE: Instead of "Trump is ruining this country and its your fault for voting for him!" try "Dude, Trump is screwing us! This isn't the great America we were promised!" or some variation of that. Gotta use different tactics.

There are. Heaps of them.

The US is just a big place and very spread out. And the ruling government and its media conglomerates are trying to keep them out of the media.
