Perhaps a Federal leader who can be felt like doing something real would be a good start.
I'm a long term party member. I have mostly voted NDP since the early 2000s. I have a pic of myself shaking Mr Singh's hand after running into him in an airport.
But anything he has done during this whole crisis has been like a fart in the wind. Meanwhile, I see Charlie Angus all over the place doing what Mr Singh should be doing, standing up for Canada.
I wish more people got that point.
Just yesterday, a friend asked me how I can be anti-capitalist while still working for a corporation, making good money.
My answer was simple. What the fuck else am I going to do? I don't really have options.
I'm old enough that I was taught both. But imperial units are still largely meaningless to me.
We officially use metric.
The reason you see so much imperial is because of proximity to the US and sourcing data.
We sell clothes and shoes with US sizes. I know what my waist and chest size is, but I actually have no idea what those measurements convert to in real units. I know what 10cm is. I have no idea what 10 inches is, other than it's just shy of a 3rd of a meter.
I cook a lot, both indoor and outdoor. I know I cook my steaks to 135F, which is in real temperature, but I know that's medium rare. My oven is F only, and so is my smoker. All of my cooking thermometers are F only. Any recipes or directions I get for cooking are usually in F because they are American sources.
Yet, my car and house thermostats are in C, because I know what those measurements are. They are meaningful to me.
Believe me, I want nothing more than for everything to be measured in real units, but until we stop buying so much from the US, it's not going to happen.
Why not both?
Were i in British intelligence, i would tell Trump to eat my puckering asshole.
Ешь дерьмо, русский тролль.
I held my nose to try to stop Ford last week. I would love to just vote for who I thought would do the best job, not against who I don't want.
I am not a Ford fan, but I do trust his motives. He doesn't want the US to destroy us because he wants to continue enriching himself and his friends. Trade wars are bad for capitalism. He is a capitalist. Free trade is good at making people rich. Trade wars are not.
So no, I don't think Ford is pro-Trump. He's pro-profit and when Trump was all about business, he supported some of what Trump said, now that Trump has shown he is anti-business, Ford is against him.
There is no doubt in my mind.
Yes
We didn't do nothing. We announced massive retaliatory tariffs. The do nothing impression came from the fact that they asked for concessions we already offered.
Also, the US is still hitting us with tariffs. Starting March 4, 25% on everything then in April an additional 25% on steel and aluminum.
I reread what i posted and I have no idea why you think I'm advocating for Liberal or Conservative. I said the NDP needs a better leader.
