We do have a third party, it’s the NDP led by Jagmeet Singh. Problem is is that he has too vague of a platform, says nice platitudes about how he could do better. His party is not differentiating himself from the Liberals enough, and Singh is not leaving enough room in the spotlight to elevate other party members.

And the reason why Conservatives were in a far and away lead was that many left-leaning districts were split 40%, 30%, 25%.

It will show that people aren’t alone, Trump wants to pretend they have an overwhelming mandate to do whatever he wants, having upset people together shows that actually there are a lot of people that feel similarly. Organizing and coming together is the first step. The next is the strategic plan.

At press time Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has promised to aid the flagging Poilievre campaign by doing something deeply unpopular, by week’s end at the latest.

This line got a hearty chuckle out of me.

Your strength and courage isn’t measured by how many times you got kicked down. It’s about how many times you got up. You’re not back at zero. You have the experience of this before, and you have gotten out of that situation successfully. It’s tough, but you can do it again. Don’t give up on yourself.

Get your food situation sorted out. Then if you have no criminal record, look for security guard, desk clerk, concierge type jobs, for example, or temp contract work. From there you can figure out how to shape your life in the way you want it to be.

I don’t think we’ll be as rushed, but as of today that appears to be the long term trajectory, yes.

The Canadian and Provincial Governments probably don’t want to make moves to upset the orange baby right now, but by slowly adjusting Canadian industry to be less reliant on the US, it will be greater leverage for us if it comes time to properly re-negotiate a trade deal.

Reputational damage is done, I don’t mind if y’all go visit but my money will stay out of the USA for the time being, if I can help it.

Trump got a 30 day pause of anthem booing (maybe, we’ll see).

Okay, title has been updated to clarify the situation. At the moment, it’s neither confirmed source-available only nor confirmed FOSS. Hopefully that clears it up and nobody’s confused.

I never claimed it’s FOSS, license is to be included by the creator. If it is part of the same project as the backend, it may be GNU AGPL-3.

If that’s not satisfactory, let me know and I will put (Source Available) in the title.

He is a very busy man at the moment, as you can probably imagine. But yes we should make sure the license is included in the coming days to make it truly free. He still has yet to add documentation, but said on Mastodon that is coming soon.

Trump loves to make bombastic threats, to cause pre-emptive capitulation like in the way newspapers and billionaires did.

There is no way Trump will have the bandwidth to respond to Canada’s defensive action amidst the rest of the chaos he is causing in government and other fights he decides to pick throughout the week. He might get tired of bullying Canada and move on in a few weeks, might not.

I imagine many Canadians who feel betrayed by our longstanding ally, will defend our sovereignty with whatever it takes. Americans will be unfocused and hampered by their own divisions and internal governmental dysfunction, and no one wants a trade war or real war anyway.

Reportedly happened also in the Vancouver Canucks vs. Detroit Red Wings match, and with Basketball the Toronto Raptors against the LA Clippers.

NB Premier Holt says full response plan to come Monday.

PEI Premier King has announced removing alcohol from shelves and a review of procurement contracts to reduce reliance on the US

Both have affirmed their support for a co-ordinated nationwide approach.

I agree with this. Discussion of moderation on a topic-based community (as opposed to a meta-community) is fully fine and fair to be removed as “off-topic” imo.

BC has started to do its part for that, where the province will immediately stop buying liquor products from “red states”.

I couldn’t be prouder to vote for the BC-NDP last year.

Beware my friend, shit winds are a-comin’…

Trudeaux must be the plural form…

I mean you can add all the salts and microplastic glitter bouillon cubes you want to mask it but it’s still a rumschlumpel broth.

It’s a stirring speech. Things are about to get very expensive for both Canadians and Americans. I have already scratched out future plans for visiting the US for the rest of the year, but I am also considering cancelling ones I pre-booked months ago, even at a 50% loss. Haven’t decided firmly yet.

In BC, look for BuyBC. The province has been pretty on top of a labelling/awareness campaign long before Trump found the word tariffs in his colouring book.

I think veggies and fruits in Ontario have their mark. Though at this time of year there’s less in-season domestically outside of greenhouse-grown food.

It’s Lisa looking at a sign that reads:

“Keep Out”

“Or Enter. I’m a sign, not a cop.”
