This isn't a newsgroup?
All the more reason for Trudeau to want the election now. Maybe he's saying it to appear gracious?
I don't see why not, honestly. He's currently polling at 40% and the Conservatives are at a dismal 25%. Assuming those numbers are accurate, he could get himself another majority, despite all the scandals. It's a combination of "Yes, Canadians are that fucking stupid" and "Yes, the Conservatives fucked up that badly."
They're waking up, but like us, there's a big difference between knowing the truth and actively DOING something. A lot of people are afraid to act.
Is this similar to googling "X new cases" and every number produced a result?
The government only works because of the faith, and trust people have in it. Well, they have destroyed that,
In OUR eyes they have destroyed that. Step 1 is getting an ACTUAL majority of the people to lose faith in government. The shortcut is convincing the Canadian military or a shit ton of mercenaries that the government needs to be overthrown.
Also, as E_JACK stated, other governments need to recognize your government, because they'll continue to deal with Trudeau otherwise.
They'll be coming after right-leaning mainstream media next.
LOL, like what? Sun Media? They're just as never-Trump.
Should I just move to a small town in the prairies or the east coast and just check out of this Orwellian hellhole?
Keep in mind that in small towns in the prairies and the east coast it might be even harder to find a doctor and/or you might need to go to a different town to visit one.
With that said, send resumes out to some workplaces in the areas you're considering. When a company is interested in you, it'll be a bit clearer to you whether or not moving is the right play.
And around 2010-2013 it hovered around par, before tanking (and yes, I concede that the tanking might have been on purpose to make our exports look more attractive.) Our dollar might experience years of relative stability, but it can and does change.
It can affect the exchange rates and our economy from trade. More than half of Canada's imports and exports are with the States after all. If the Dems tank their economy worse than Trudeau does (and don't laugh, it's possible) then our dollar gains value.
WE ARE THE MAJORITY, DESPITE WHAT YOU MAY THINK.
In Canada?
"But have you noticed Trump hasn't done ANYTHING big yet?"
Yes. We noticed.
Sometimes its hard for me to tell if the Canadian government is playing dumb or actually might be genuinely retarded.
My money's on the latter for the case of Doug Ford.
(update: no, we won't be shut down in 21 hours - but one of our hosts has given us that timeframe to correct the situation. this situation specifically isn't the most important thing, but it could lead to our other hosts taking the same steps)
Good luck finding a standard whereby it's "corrected." Reddit did the same thing to them... writing is on the wall now.
which is majority-owned by Brazilian investment firm 3G Capital
3G Capital doesn't own the majority of RBI. It owns about a third. And an American company owns about a sixth. So I think it JUST squeaks by calling itself majority owned by Canadians.
It's even funnier when you look into the history of Pepsi: specifically, the 1940s.
It sounds crazy. But who even knows anymore?
It's hard to imagine a scenario in which people don't accept it. Nobody wants to be that first person who flouts curfew and gets arrested or fined.
“She advises that Sanjay had always seemed [redacted] to her, that he had been a model employee, and that he had worked with hundreds of people, none of whom had reported any problems. She never had anything other than good feedback about him,” the court filings said.
Alright, guys, guesses on what the redacted word was? I'm thinking "innocent."
I know several teachers who tell me what a struggle remote learning is. They spend more time trying to get the kids to DO the work than they do teaching. And yet, they want more of it. Weird flex but okay.
Librarian here! Superhero stories from the two major players (DC and Marvel) come in two flavours: there are the ones tailored to children in the form of picture books or early readers. which retell some of the earliest stories of the heroes, from the 40s to 70s, generally. Maybe a handful of movie novelizations. Kids under 10 - heck, kids under 7 - eat them up. And I'm okay with that. The early stories tended to be a bit more wholesome, classic good-triumphs-over-evil type tales with "fantasy violence" (laser beams, maybe some punching.)
THEN you have the modern graphic novels, often compiled as trade paperbacks. I wouldn't let a kid under 13 TOUCH them. They're all too happy to show blood and have heroes acting like villains.
Ask the veterans how their compensation is working out.
It says they're hiring Americans... that's better than outsourcing to other countries. I'll take a black American over someone from India any day.
Gen X got to see its parents "laid off" by the corporations in the recession. Before that, employees tended to have lifelong loyalties to their bosses. Then the bosses fucked the parents over, and the kids learned not to trust authority because they're just out to fuck you over too. That extends to government. It's that healthy distrust and willingness to question motives that makes you "based."
I will admit that Doug Ford tricked me. He's certainly not his brother.
Pronunciation is important when you're in media. Less than 20 seconds in, the dude pronounces "epitome" with three syllables instead of four and my first thought is "this guy is uneducated," a horrible thing to think when he's discussing education. You have to know how to speak properly if you want to be taken seriously.
Maybe he should follow up with something like "Education is important, if for no other reason than to teach me how to pronounce epitome."
