about potash or minerals etc.... and we're taking that pain that voluntarily and the US is whining barely a month in - the Chinese tho? The gov can force its citizens to take that pain - China isn't going to back down and they will take every chance to humiliate Trump till he breaks.

such a fucking joke lol. As Canadians we're prepared for some/alot of econ pain because we're not going to bend to trump - and already states like Kentucky and Cali are saying enough is enough because of our dropping Kentucky Bourbon and tourism drying up - and that before we do anything serious

'american exceptionalism" is a hell of a drug smh. "shining city on the hill" my ass

this is why Canada will never give up supply management. why should even entertain the idea of increasing access for American poultry/dairy when the US can't even handle basic food safety scientifically

I'm not sure it hits - I mean Trump shut up about it since then until specifically asked about it recently - so either he respects Carney or he's so worried about Carney becoming PM that he didn't want to further inflame sentiment against him and PP by extension

lol that's awesome - I'm so glad to know I'm not crazy to remember this stuff hahaha - and you're right, it's not easy to find any record of it online etc..

yesssssss...... I remember this well tho none of my friends do. in Kelowna in latter half of 80s you could get hard ice cream at the DQs there - loved it so much and you had a choice of milkshakes either w the soft serve like now or the hard icecream.

nevermind Schindler's list - this is the same as fucking Andor - and spoiler alert - the prisoners were told the same thing and never got out ffs

they really want PP to win. Vance's best friend JJ I'm sure has been back channeling like crazy. And Carney would clean Trump's clock when it comes to economic deal making and actual smart people like Bissent would realize that. it'll be interesting to see the tone out of the US on 29th.

sigh you listen to these guys like Schultz Rogan et Al and they act they've got it all figured out/that they're grand critical thinkers - but - put someone actually in the room w them who their stuff and they're like "I was not aware/what do you mean etc etc etc.. smh

hectoring over the deficit is funnier - just like Pierre asking Carney economics qs and Singh pointing out aptly that PP doesn't know the answers either

exactly. if we at least understand what your purpose is and you act sane in the press gallery/room then it should be open - but let everyone be held to the same standards

This - I'm even totally fine w activist outlets - provided they act in good faith- providing a journalistic service. The issue is Ezra et Al aren't acting in good faith

has to be the most likely best outcome for their war room. All this crap w Rebel "news" has become the more defining moment of the debate which means non online normies won't hear anything substantive about it and nothing about the leaders performances is cutting thru that at all.

that and he's rehearsed "I followed all the rules in advance" so much that to step outside that answer might lead to gaffes and further qs to his credibility or seeing to be hiding something

feels like Singh is hammering PP in an effort to make voters feel like it's an assured liberal victory - in order to free up voters to choose NDP w/o anxiety
comment in response to
post
it's a long debate - if you can't find some humour in Singh's approach to PP (which clearly aggravates him and Singh enjoys) then it'll be a long night I'm afraid! is it informing, no - but not sure what you expected

but it's funny. at least it's funny

nah - it means everywhere else in the democratic West is taking care to safeguard their democracies because Americans are showing in real time what happens if you don't.
comment in response to

yea. this one was very calm and PP looked awkward trying to hold back. Carney didn't make any gaffes/mistakes of note and Singh/Blanchet did the attacking on PP for him

if you are English speaking watching/listening via translation - it came across a wash. the CBC At Issue panel essentially says the same and that Carneys french was not unreasonable. basically nothing will change based in this debate

that was my thought - why pivot back to sounding extra trumpy on culture war stuff when you know it's a loser for you - unless he's given up on forming majority and internal polling shows him bleeding support to PPC who are giving up on him if he's not going to win
comment in response to
post
The fact that he's going to this much trouble tho to make a personal appeal means tourism is suffering big time. Newsoms in Cali so it's safe for him to acknowledge they want Can visitors - but I'm sure there's red states like FL etc that are seeing huge drops they will refuse to admit
comment in response to

soooo he's been told sounding too much like Trump is what's losing him the election - so he's doubling down on that language and msging choice w 2 weeks left?
comment in response to
post
right? he's been told for weeks now he's too trumpy and that's a good part of why he's losing so now he's pivoting back to that same msg and tone to sound just like Trump again? political malpractice by both him and his team smh. not serious people

then PP should sells his properties that he bought solely on the basis of his parliamentary salary and be unable to sell or rent those out during his time in office. such a clown.
comment in response to

yea. if this was NP, I'd have thoughts that this was a "4d" chess move from some stupid CPC insider but coming from CBC, it's sounds like something from a couple of idiots within the libs.

it's almost like that "shining city on the hill" /"American exceptionalism" that the rest of the world had to listen to Americans pontificate about for the past 80 yrs was all a load of bullshit and they've done less to uphold democracy and folded quicker in their own country than anyone else

not concerned about ads yet. I think what's more likely is that because the architecture is more open source, they'll end up w a Wikipedia like business model where it's more a non-profit or power user subscription model and tbh I would subscribe if it meant keeping this place Elon/ad/bot free

agreed - plus for the future, if China etc sees the world is willing to act together against bad faith partners - including allies- it serves as an incentive to follow the rules based order themselves.

lol I've been following Stiller forever and loved his new found love for OG anounby when they traded w my Raptors last yr. honestly I think the calmness here in sports talk is at least 90% of the time, the discussion is more rooted in good faith - and trolls get insta blocked and no porn bots lol
