I've voted against Doug Ford 3 times now, but saying he's more bark than bite isn't really true. He's already directed the LCBO to pull American booze from shelves and cease new orders.

Not at all, please don't Americanize our politics

LCBO is actively removing American products from shelves.

I do think there's more technical problems related to decoupling a massive load from the grid, but Ford does seem to be following through with at least some of the promised retaliations. Time will tell if he keeps it up.

These big mac prices aren't accurate

One on each floor of the house is insane, why do you need breakers everywhere?

Ranked choice voting within each riding would be a good compromise that I think most of the country would be ok with. Plenty of us still like having a local representative chosen by locals.

It would be terrible for our country, just look at the impact the mere thought of tarrifs has had on our economy. A full renegotiation of the US Canada trade border would be chaos.

Europeans are cool and I wish we had your public transit, but EU membership of a NA country will never happen.

Any GPS signals in that region of the world are being jammed, so this is probably a result of that. It's not actually flying over Ukraine

The Canadian economy is also about to crash hard, unfortunately. Possibly worse than the US thanks to our incoming mortgage crisis

We need far fewer condos in this country. They're practically a scam that lures people in with the promise of "equity". The vast majority of condos have terrible energy performance because first cost is all that the buyer cares about.

Are you implying that we should be openly trading with NK and funding their government? Seriously?
