I mean Canadian Tire is more of a general store.
Hudson Bay started out as a general store and evolved to a more upper class department store. It's way classier or at least it is meant to be but I totally see the link between the two.
Also, Canadian Tire has more than just the Canadian Tire stores now, they own Mark's, Sports Chek, Helly Hansen, Sher-Wood and a couple of other sport related stores in Quebec primarily focused on Hockey, they've been slowly expanding for a couple of years.
I got my permit about 10 years ago at age 32. In Quebec, classes are mandatory now so I had to do them. It is absolutely insane the number of dangerous and stupid decisions I see drivers make when I go out on the road. Changing lanes while turning because you go too fast to keep in your lane, stopping in the middle of roundabouts to give priority to someone waiting to get in, taking an exit from the fast lane cutting every one without looking at the last second. Going too slow on the middle or fast lane on the highway or too fast inside school zone, not even bothering to do a rolling stop, turning full speed in residential areas onto bike lanes... Just a few...
Speed is not the main cause of accidents in my book, unpredictability is. Go at the speed of the traffic or even a bit faster but be predictable, put your fucking blinker on when you turn and when you change lanes, don't stop in the middle of the road to be nice to someone but do stop if signage says you must and if for a reason you absolutely need to stop or slow down fast because traffic or something dangerous in front of you, put your hazards on to warn people in the back. If you go fast, take to the fast lane and do slow down when you cross people in the middle lane so that you get time to react if they do something stupid.
My driving instructor told me one thing that stuck with me. Drive as if everyone is trying to kill you. I believe it saved me from a lot of accidents and the one accident I got into was because the other driver tried to exit from the left lane while I was in the right thinking for some reason that I would stop to let him pass when we were both going 50 kph.
I work in the gaming industry and every week I receive emails about how AI is gonna revolutionize my job and get sent to time wasting training about how to use Figma AI or other shit like that because it's the best thing ever according to HR... and it never is obviously.
At best, it's gonna make middle managing jobs easier but for devs like me, as long as the "AI" stays out of our engines and stays into the equivalent of cooperative vision boards, it does nothing for me. Not once have I tried to use it for it to turn actually useful. It's mediocre at best and I can't believe there are game devs that actually try to code with it, can't wait to see these hot garbage products come on the market.
He can't lose by doing this, if the CPC really wants Pollievre to stay, they'll do it. Worst case it's gonna be status quo but best case, he loses again and it flips a seat, presumably to the Libs, but more importantly away from the CPC.
Yeah exactly that
