You are unfortunately correct.

Firstly: Bragging about wanting to override the Charter of Rights is disgusting. That alone should end his career but I know it won't.

Secondly: Canada does not actually have that many mass-murderers and they are not what most people care about. It's the small time crime that Canadians are concerned about. Thefts, domestic violence, stranger attacks, auto crime, etc. Promising to go after a type of criminal that hardly even exists is an empty, nothingburger promise.

Thirdly: This just reeks of pandering to those that want to see our justice system function as a tool for revenge.

An interesting idea and a fascinating feat of engineering for sure

... but why? This seems like a solution in search of a problem. I've really noticed this a lot in the bicycle world - companies that keep trying to reinvent components and mechanisms that have been perfected decades ago.

Especially when he has basically admitted that it is stock market manipulation. Everyone knows the tariffs will return or potentially even something stupider.

I've also noticed a huge flood of clearly biased articles from Postmedia-owned news groups (Postmedia is American and owns several news agencies that masquerade as Canadian). Very clearly being spread by bots that have no post history other spamming of Postmedia sludge.

I imagine PP's tactic would be to align himself with Smith to give away Canada's resources and assets to the Americans while scorning our allies, trade partners, and citizens.

Thanks! I'll take that as a good sign 😆

He isn't. He can't be; not the way he has handled them.

Bringing industry and manufacturing back to US soil is actually not a bad idea at all but it's a problem that needs to be tackled smartly and over a period of time so businesses can react. He is trying to force decades worth of economic migration in the span of a few months. For (hopefully) obvious reasons, that is impossible and the US economy is about to collapse.

And considering Trump, along with Musk at DOGE, have systematically destroyed economic and social safety-net programs... the aftermath of this is going to be catastrophic. The only way Trump is "right" about these tariffs is that they are an intentional sabotage of the US economy so him and his wealthy backers can cash out as the walls come crashing down. That is the goal and it's going according to plan.

I want to pet the funky bird creature.

Singh has to go if the NDP ever wants to have even a shred of hope of being competitive in the polls again.

I don't even think he's a bad politician per se, but it's obvious he is not resonating with Canadians and hasn't for years.

Pushing your middle finger tightly into your thumb to build up pressure. Vary the pressure slightly and your middle finger will slip off your thumb, and due to the pressure built up, quickly slam into the base of your thumb and produce a loud sound.

Once you're got the hang of that you can try it with other fingers. The ring finger works nicely as well.

I've noticed a few intersections around me have put up "Yield to bicycles when turning right" signs.

Sad that a basic fundamental rule of driving needs its own dedicated sign. It'd be like having a sign that says "Proceed on green".
