The game is on TV.

I don't need to deal with random harassment from American border guards.

It's not a hard decision to make.

I wonder what these bombshells are supposed to be

Eventually enough people will get angry enough at Trump's (mis)adminiatration to take some effective action to stop it.

This just adds to the pile of things to be angry about.

of all the unqualified and under qualified members of this cabinet, Hegseth has the be the most unqualified

I dunno. RFK is also a strong contender for that title.

Can we try that?

Thank you, CFIA, for continuing to protect the public.

I can't imagine how bad it could get without a functioning food safety agency.

(But our southern neighbours are about to find out)

The fact that people can't agree on which alternative to FPTP is the preferred option is a signifigant contributing factor to why Trudeau abandoned his attempt to change the electoral system.

And why it'll be so hard to get any future politicians to take on the effort, even if they do agree that change needs to happen.

If there is another minority, the NDP can (as they did over the last 4 years) have a role in promoting their policies while providing the balance of power.

It's more cynical realism.

What actual consequences has Trump ever faced?

How has he reacted to every judicial order telling him he can;t do something?

I'll be thrilled to see something actually stick to him,, but I'm losing faith that anyone can actually make that happen.

'He Cannot Be This Stupid'

He's even more stupid than they are acknowledging.

You don't cure a disease by ignoring it.

Sensible conservatives aren’t that common

That phrase is approaching oxymoron territory.

One hour of my time to stop fascist is easy.

Absolutely. It's good to see so many people motivated to vote ASAP.

They're giving some of the older folks in the lineup chairs.

So far it's been a hour in line. Still a bunch of people ahead of us.

Longest lines I've seen at an early poll.

One of the staff said about an hour wait.

Currently in line with my family. The lines here are huge.

I guess with this being a stat everyone is available.

and he likes the simplicity

And the conservatives offer answers for complex problems that is clear, simple, and wrong.

Canadian Music is in Danger

This is nothing new.

That is exactly why the CanCon regulations were created in the first place - to prevent Canadian music from being completely steamrolled by the US music industry juggernaut.

The Canadian film industry is so huge that a great majority of 'Hollywood' films have at least part of the movie shot in Canada

One historic district in Winnipeg regularly stands in for pre-fire era Chicago.

And various other parts of the city can easily act like many mid-west American cities.

One of the malls here hosts the shooting of a hallmark channel Christmas movie almost every summer.

You can do tourism wrong (as Italian cities do)

Santorini is feeling the impacts of that over-tourism big time.

You see all the big-name Canadian actors ending up in Hollywood blockbuster movies.

That's because hollywood has the big audiences and therefore the big budgets.

If you want to be an actor you want your work to be seen and you want to be paid.

Durham wheat (also grown in large amounts in Manitoba) is considered one of the best for making pasta flour.
