I must live in a bubble. Both of my (university age) kids and their friends are vocally offended by Trump and Musk, and they think Polierve is a bad joke.

My oldest games online with a few Americans and they are also very anyi-trump. ("They wouldn't be my friends if they supported him")

Either it’s market manipulation or bad economic ideals

Both can be true in this case.

1: that's provincial not federal.

2: you still marked a paper ballot. The machine simply scanned it. The paper ballots are still available for hand counting.

3: those counting machines aren't internet connected.

Hint: Germans didn't fix it by themselves.

Of course, but the rest of the world didn't take those actions until after the German military moved into several other countries. And that action was done in the defense of those other countries as much as it was to spank the Germans.

Nobody is coming to the US to save the US from itself. Things will have to get a helluva lot worse before that happens.

And it won't be done to rescue the Americans, it will be intended to beat them into submission.

Plus, the rest of the world remembers that the Americans didn't help us in WW2 until the war finally came to their shores, after the rest of us had been fighting for 3 years.

We're a bit busy protecting ourselves from the US.

You Americans can fix your own damn problems.

Don't Travel to The US

So say we all.

The "journalist" was from Rebl "news", IIRC.

So less of a journalist and more of a lying right wing shit disturber.

Unlike in the U.S., religion is not a major factor in Canadian elections. And the faith of Canada’s party leaders does not typically make the news.

As it should be.

This article doesn't do anything to serve that goal.

unless you're in their small fiber network, yes you're still using Bell/Rogers/Cogeco/Telus local lines

The reality is that infrastructure is expensive to build, and the low cost resellers aren't going to be able to build their own (at least not in most places) while maintaining lower prices and some sort of a profit margin.

would be to become the victim of a crime in Canada due to my VA tags (probably not that likely),

Vanishing unlikely, unless you have a MAGA bumper sticker.

Maybe CBSA can start demanding proof of vaccination at the border?

America has always had a skewed view of itself

What the fuck is wrong with the GOP that this is who we have as VP?

The same thing that is wrong to allow the orange menace to be president.

Does he have to be an asshole to everybody?

It's his only skill.

They have a history of dumping a leader who failed to show electoral success.

The way the entire Liberal party basically didn't respond to the smear campaign against them

I interpreted that as partly "I'm not dignifying that with a response" and partly avoiding falling into a Gish gallop trap.

I doubt Carney would have wanted it, though.

It's well understood by business people (at least by competent ones) that if you do something that makes your customer leave, they dont come back.

If you're truly conservative then you'd also support a deregulated free market that allows extreme wealth disparity.

That sounds more like mercantilism to me.

he was also in charge of the Bank of Canada for most of the time that Stephen Harper was the PM

Harper also invited Carney to become minister of finance (which Carney declined).

The conservatives don't have a lot of honest ways to attack Carney
