Getting in a war of words with a professional stand up comedian.

That doesn't seem like a very "stable genius " move.

He should be making weekly statements to Canadians,

Saying what exactly?

"We are still attempting to negotiate with the Trump administration, but with the changing situation the negotiations are at a delicate point and I cannot risk divulging any further details that might further complicate already challenging discussions".

Assuming they survive that long.

doing everything in secret, no updates.

Do you think it would be beneficial for him to put out a press release saying what aces he has up his sleeve, what the plan is to counter Trump's next move, or any other parts of the negotiations?

Do you think the Americans won't love to learn those things?

holding Canada's cards close and not telling his bluffs.

That's what the "just tell us what you're doing in the negotiations" crowd seems to miss.

It would be colossally stupid to put out a press release that tells the other players what cards you're holding, and what your planned strategy is.

Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out.

Nazi trains a nazi "speak & spell"

Whoopty fucking do.

The problem comes when large portions of the population use it and accept what it says without any shred of critical thinking.

Increasingly European governments are moving away from Microsoft to open source software.

That is an example (and a proven path) that Canada can follow.

What about reveting media ownership limits back to what they were previously?

The last thing you do when a toddler throws a tantrum is give in to their demands.

But when it's a toddler with a (nuclear) gun, you do have to tread very carefully and choose your battles wisely.

I can't say yet if Carney has currently made all of the most wise choices. I don't think anyone has enough information (including him) yet to make that call. Time will tell.

I certainly don't envy him this task.

Who said that?

The strawman.

I suspect it's unchanged from its already low number in those places.

good luck doing anything online and avoiding AWS.

Don't let perfect stand in the way of good.

It's not possible in most cases to even know if a given online resource is using AWS behind the scenes, so it's not something you can really control.

On the other hand, if you happen to be a web developer, that is a different story, but for normal users it's not something you can do much about.

But can they recognize that they were wrong?

Restore quality education to prevent future generations from falling into the same traps of flawed logic and propaganda.

My point is that does nothing to serve the stated goal of increasing safe driving.

That must have been some special magic booze to get the old man so drunk he couldn't recognize that he was fucking his own daughters, yet leave him capable of getting it up to do the deed...

Also the lack of salt pillars

Never heard of it

Not surprised, they only announced it a couple of weeks ago.

The US is pretty distressing at the moment
