Blades vary greatly between brands. Get a sampler pack from eBay to find ones you like. Then buy them in bulk. 100 blades will generally cost from $8-$14, depending on the brand. Some, like Feather, are more expensive.

The key word is "immediately". It is within his power to delay the byelection for months.

We'll, the article was about the jobs maintaining the robots, not humans building stuff in factories.

I'm not so sure about the "jaws of Victory" bit. I think that Canadians were just fed up with Trudeau, couldn't bring themselves to vote NDP and ended up polling Conservative. So it wasn't really support for PP, but unsupport for Trudeau.

Take Trudeau out of the equation and the Liberals came flooding back to the party.

I'm not sure that I can remember that being done for any leader at the federal level in the past 50 years or so. We'll have to wait and see.

He still gets to be party leader, but he cannot sit in Parliament. There are two remedies for this. First, the party can choose a new leader from their elected MPs. Second, they can have an MP in a "safe" riding step down and then ask the government for a special by-election in that riding.

I think it's everything.

Not just the tarrifs themselves, but the idea of the tarrifs pisses us off. It's a betrayal, and we've done nothing wrong and we've just helped the US to thrive.

The 51st state stuff is just added icing.

You can still buy American wine in some grocery stores, as long as they have stock. But the Liquor Control Boards in each province aren't bringing any more in.

My local grocery store has some White Zinfandel still on the shelf. It doesn't appear to be moving. Every time I go by, I turn the bottles in the front around - you can't turn them upside-down.

L'esprit de l'escalier

I call BS.

I'm Canadian and my parents immigrated here from England before I was born. I have a UK passport as well as a Canadian passport.

I'm not English-Canadian, I'm just Canadian. No one hyphenates in Canada, and you cannot say that Canada has any more unifying cultural heritage than the USA.

That number is supposed to be how much of the tariff that the exporter passes through to the importer. Essentially this is a measure of how much the producers lower their profits to lower the price to compensate for the tariffs. In other words how much the producer "pays for" the tariffs.

This factor is "backwards", in that it doesn't represent how much the producer swallows, but how much they pass on to the importer. Trump's calculations assume that the producer only passes on 25% of the tariff price increase, but the experts say the number should be much closer to 95%.

I have to idea what "4" means.
