Taking a fully integrated international film and television production system that favours the US based entities and absolutely strangling it with a 100% tariff is dumb. No theatregoer is going to want to pay $30 per person to watch a movie. Hollywood will curl up and die.

If you are a young Canadian, and you believe that the Conservatives are going to help you, I have a time machine to sell you that is set to the mid-2000's. Watching Mark Carney work his butt off to keep us afloat, while Stephen Harper played keyboard piano was a Royal Canadian Air Farce stuff.

Someone asked me, why spend time screaming into the internet void if no one is listening. Why argue with yourself in the shower? Why play videogames without streaming it for money...I do it for me. I want to. If someone in the void is listening, it's for their own benefit. Not mine.

Wealthy and working class have different ideas of what manufacturing jobs look like. The wealthy see low paying jobs and full automation with no benefits. Working class see growing wages and automation assistance, ensuring long-term stability. The wealthy never describe their vision in detail.

TMX pipeline was approved by the Liberal Government and it was paid for with Canadian taxpayer money after a private US corporation bailed out. I struggle to understand how you are stymied in selling *checks notes* one of the most valuable resources on the planet if it's paid for by regular people.

These tariffs are in fact the endgame. Cut the government to shreds, remove income tax for the wealthy and feed the budget on a consumption tax that is predominantly paid by the working and middle class. US Admin just lit the boat on fire and put holes in the bottom.

Could the Conservative Party Leader of Canada stop talking about women like that? There were so many other ways to phrase things and "biological clocks running out" leans into that good ole' incel rhetoric a bit too much. Just say "we haven't forgotten about the couples who want to start families."
