Presumably the reference is to Danielle Smith, the Alberta Premier, who probably isn't relevant to this specific article.

If they're eink, they retain the image for a very long time (like, months) after power is removed.

We have some, but they're pretty weaksauce compared to the EU's, and the mechanisms for enforcing them don't have enough teeth.

Well, they don't seem to be actively contradicting each other.

“Mark Carney is not telling the whole story" I'm sure there are details that Carney didn't bring up, but are they the kind that would actually matter to anyone more than a decade later? It's possible that they are, but it seems more likely that he left them out because they were irrelevant to anything except Harper's ego.

"[Former] prime minister Harper certainly does not support Mr. Carney in any way.” Well, no, not now he wouldn't. Doesn't mean he never did, and Carney was talking about Harper's attitude of a dozen years ago, not that of the present.

My interpretation: Harper asked him as a joke/with no intention of following through, and Carney took advantage of that to do a bit of virtue signalling at the Conservatives' expense, without actually lying.

I actually saw the interview, because someone else in the house was watching it while I was in the kitchen. The bit about Harper was pretty much a throwaway, and not what people should be focusing on. Move along, nothing to see here.

"Canada is smiling evilly and brandishing a bassoon and a hot glue gun while dressed in a gopher mascot costume. Better back away slowly, or there's no telling what it will do."

And appropriately, everything that already lives there is out to kill him. 🤣

It's trash. Stockholm Syndrome disguised as romcom, pretty much. See previous episode discussions.

He’d rather have the dollars than the stuff?

I suspect that's exactly the case. He sees money as an end rather than a means. A regrettably common disease.

I believe it's brother legally, son biologically.

Another reason I'm not ashamed that I built mine out of 2x4s. If I manage to completely destroy it, I'll just buy more crappy spruce, glue up a new slab, and keep going.

Did they compete on providing actual therapy? No? Then this is meaningless.

though, as you know/ we are everywhere

True enough. I joined a British instance for reasons that seemed good enough to me at the time I signed up. I kind of pity any Canadian who decided to sign up with an American instance somewhere back in the depths of time, though—I don't think Trump will manage to put a tariff on electrons, but I wouldn't put it past him to try, and the last I checked, migration of accounts between servers in the Fediverse was still kind of half-baked.
