Canada's elite scapegoat imgrants while completely ignoring that Canada's elites are the ones who wanted more migrants so they could have migrants renting and sleeping in shifts in the houses the elite own, and working for a pittance wage and no complaints at the Tim Hortons franchises the elites also own.
(And yes, I know it's more complex than that, but the same people who benefit from goosing GDP through immigration while keeping taxes low just happen to support political parties that make hay on dogwhistled racism)
You want us back?
Impeach Trump.
Then, if Vance fucks around, impeach him, too. Then Johnson. Keep going until you find someone who isn't a fascist asshat.
That would help with America's "trust" problem.
- It can't.
- No

Sanction money flowing from Canada to Israel; have FINTRAC either freeze funds, if not outright freeze accounts, of people and organizations sending money abroad.
$250M is sent from Canadians to Israel yearly, more than anywhere else. That's...something...for a supposedly developed democracy
IGA is a Sobeys affiliated banner.
Honestly? Costco.
They pay and treat their employees well and, despite being a US company, they're pretty good about sourcing things from outside the US. They're also defying Trump's anti-DEI crusade.
Yes, they're still a multi-billion-dollar corporation, but they're the best of a bad lot by a wide margin.
#Letstalk about nationalization.
He's in a lose-lose situation right now: if he moderates, he stands a better chance at being elected in the general--not a given!--but if he loses his base will eat him alive. He might even lose his seat.
If he leans more into fascism, he'll still lose the general but might keep his job and his seat.
Poor Pierre. If he hadn't been a grievance-peddling fascist bootlicker for the last several decades I'd almost feel bad for him. Almost.
Yes, but they get there "backwards".
It's not like they believe healthcare is inherently demotivating, it's that they're already Red Team members, and "Healthcare and welfare breed moochers" is a Red Team belief, and since they're good Red Team members, they synthesize it into their belief system--despite the fact functionally no one rips off the healthcare system because, frankly, you have to have some kind of pathology to visit a doctor enough for fraud to be an issue.
I mean "Oh noes, they're ripping off the healthcare systems by.. (checks notes) ..getting antibiotics for their earache!!" is not a thing. Ever.
Everyone, even in countries with socialized medicine, avoids interactions with the healthcare system until they need to. I mean, do you you really want to recreationally get your throat swabbed? I'm sure there's four people on this planet of nine billion who get off on that, but that's it.
Now, rich people, they come to this believe authentically. They hate public healthcare because a) they have to pay for it, and b) it's one less piece of leverage they have to keep people shackled to work. But make no mistake, they also suffer from the delusion, above.
It's not that the FCC doesn't regulate cable, it's that cable doesn't have broadcast licenses. No spectrum license to revoke.
The path to regulating a cable TV channel is not a straightforward one in the US. If it was, cable news a la Fox would have been in the crosshairs devades ago.
"The federal government needs to change their mandate, defending rural areas isn't profitable so we should scale back the military"
"The provincial government needs to change their mandate, providing healthcare to old people isn't profitable so we should scale back hospitals and just let them fend for themselves"
