Still not sure what Pierre thinks makes him qualified to be PM except “Not Trudeau”. Really Canada, given the world climate - is that enough?

Personally I’m hoping that when Trudeau is out and presumably Carney is in, the NDP pullls the rug completely out from under the cons and says they’ll support the new liberal leadership.

You’ll hear the cons bawling about it not being fair from coast to coast and that’s enough to be worthwhile right there.

Jagmeet’s office isn’t too far, wonder if it’s possible for average Joe Canadian me to get a few min of his time.

Met him once and he was very personable.

I’d love a stronger partnership with Mexico too. Their food is awesome and culturally they’re more interesting than the US. Shame the US is in the way actually.

I’m more wanting them to keep firearms out of Canada than worrying about the tiny bit going into the US.

I would’ve rather we had the tariffs to be honest than negotiate with a compulsive liar with no ethics.

invalidating all drug patents here would be awesome. I’d even go so far to offer them at cost to Americans in need who come for a visit.

Need some insulin? How about $5 for a months supply instead of $300. We want the American public on our side even if their “leaders” aren’t.

Exactly! I own a full resolve license I picked up a few years ago as part of a charity auction. I do most of my stuff on Avid for work because that’s what is used but I’d be just as happy on DaVinci.

I didn’t know that Affinity was also Australian but that’s all kinds of awesome because gimp just doesn’t cut it and Affinity is pretty cool and no subscription garbage so they’re going to see more of my business in the future. I might pick up their suite just to support them even though I get all of the adobe garbage due to work.

Looking on the bright side of this as well for an opportunity for change.

BTW, Adobe is American. Reconsider those licenses for other options.

DaVinci Resolve for video editing would be perfect (and it’s free). Unfortunately Photoshop and Illustrator aren’t as easy to replace (though photopea is amazing as a free replacement for photoshop without AI garbage).

I’m still crushed that we never go to experience Jack Layton as a PM. He woulda crushed it.

Have to make sure it’s a real farmers market though and not one that just buys bulk and resells calling them farm produce, often at a considerable markup.

ChatGPT answer

Goods from Mexico that are destined for Canada are generally not subject to U.S. tariffs if they are merely transiting through the United States.

But that’s assuming respecting the law which isn’t a US strong point right now.

This is when Trudeau is at his best. Can’t think of Pierre being able to pull this off with any measure of sincerity.

Carney could easily do it as well.

Partially caused by undereducated voters who were allowed to pass by the educational system rather than being held back until they learned properly imho.

Be set to counter the rampant misinformation from the US government trying to paint us as the bad guys rather than the good Neighbors who always have their back when times get hard.

• California fires
• 9/11
• Tehran hostage crisis

Just to name a few. You don’t get a free pass when you punch your buddy in the face and lie about it.

Absolutely. Let’s look for some positive impacts from this and open interprovincial trade properly.

Time to cancel the Netflix and Disney streaming services too. Stick with Canadian services or go grab some DVDs from your local library and watch CBC.

I agree but it’s not the US, it’s the US government. Yes it was elected by US citizens, but a lot of them were misled by liars and I blame their (and our) education system which permits adequacy.

The US playing right into Russia and China’s hands by fracturing good relationships amongst the world’s biggest allies. Putin and co. couldn’t ask for a bigger gift on a silver platter.

But I’m not worried about Canada. We will develop other trading partners and persevere until the US comes to its senses. Hopefully won’t take 4 years.

I’m optimistic it will continue to improve with time.

In my experience there are few crowdsourced products that continue to be significantly developed after the initial sales have finished unless they are astoundingly well-reviewed to continue selling.

Pebble was one of the few exceptions for one that I funded. Even then, once the Apple Watch came out they got gobbled up by (garmin) and all development on the originals died.

Hoping for a con loss or at least a minority so I can enjoy their whining and tears about how it’s just not fair and comparing about their feelings.

I’d prefer NDP but I’ll take Carney to keep a con from having a majority.

Would really just like the government to end birthright citizenship in Canada. If parents aren’t Canadian through birth or gaining citizenship then any kids born here don’t get it either.

I’d say that if the parents get citizenship within 5 years of the child’s birth and can pass a comprehensive (spoken) language test in English or French at grade 7 level, then their kids can get citizenship as well.
