The problem is that she would first have to win the party leadership. And the party nomination process has been hijacked by the fundies who don't want a moderate.
I'm sorry you had a bad experience. I've used it as my daily driver with minimal effort post installation on multiple occasions, usually on work laptops where time spent tinkering is time wasted. I've found it to be a good choice in that context. I now own my own business, and OpenSuse has allowed me to repurpose older laptops as workstations for my employees with minimal effort.
The only actual pain point I've seen is setting up a wifi enabled printer ... required that I change my firewall zone so the printer could be discovered. And that only required a few minutes to figure out. The fact that the firewall is set to a more secure default is probably a feature, not a bug.
Serious answer to an unserious question: adopting an adult is legally possible in about half the jurisdictions in Canada, and then most of those jurisdictions require the adoptee to be a citizen or permanent resident. https://adoptingback.com/adopting-back/canada-adult-adoption-law/
Oh geez, those registry rules. We used to make jokes about the Soviet Union: "papers please!" US Xenophobia will end up removing all their freedoms. It'll be about "catching illegal aliens" but the effect will be total internal travel restrictions and tracking for US citizens. I really hope they wake up before it's too late.
I have an upcoming trip with a US transfer. We booked it before Trump won and started these shenanigans. We worry that the declining traffic will cancel our direct flight and we'll be left scrambling to find an alternative route. We also worry about US Customs now more than we used to. It would cost us ~$1300 for the two of us to reroute, and we're seriously thinking about it just to reduce our risk.
In unrelated news, most of the lettuce in the store in grown in the USA. We went shopping yesterday and all the Canadian produce was sold out while the US stuff was sort of rotting. Well, we found romaine hearts grown in Mexico, so we bought that. Thanks Mexico-bros.
OpenSuse Leap or even Tumbleweed. After getting the media codecs up and running, and remembering to set you firewall zone to "home", you're pretty golden.
Canada supplies power to a lot of states, yes, but last year Canada was actually a net importer of energy (not necessarily electricity) from the US. And we could actually end up worse off.
Canada mostly supplies power to blue states: Minnesota, New York, etc. At the moment, we are not aligned in opposition to those states, and it would hurt them the most. It may actually set them against Canada, and we need all the allies inside the US that we can get. See also: Canadian retaliatory tarrifs tend to target red states.
Finally: it might be used by the US as rhetoric to justify actual war. So caution is required. This is as close as we can get to the nuclear option on trade (embargoing resources), so it should be held in reserve as long as possible.
Elizabeth May, is that you?
It would help if they had any science in their platform. A "green" party that is anti-nuclear might as well be pro-global-warming.
