Oh, I do hope he ramps up the racist rhetoric. Please demonsize brown people and immigrants, that will play so well in the vote-rich 905 belt.

Maybe he'll pull out "old stock" while he's at it.

Isn't this the same spineless snotbag who was palling around the Diagolon members after the group threatened to rape his wife?

Fuck, what a disingenuous piece of shit he is.

Considering how reflexively partisan Poillievre is, and how much he's encouraged unthinking partisanship among the conservative voting base, I can't see him supporting much of anything Carney does.

The concern is that Carney pulls a Starmer, do conservative things anyways, and just make right-wing nonsense the default.

Any government that isn’t banning Facebook or Twitter is basically sticking a “coup me” sign on it’s back

Putin was a mid/upper KGB functionary.

And that a very large number of the people who did very well put of the collapse of the USSR were former communist party officials who got in early on raiding the USSR's corpse.

Trump isn't acting on behalf of the USSR in general, but he definitely is funded by and owes favours to older wealthy Russians.

One older Russian, in particular.

Trump was honeytrappable buffoon and business fuckup desperate for funding when the USSR was still a going concern.

It's completely possible.

I used hair elastics, based on a repair tutorial I found on Youtube; let me see if I can find it.

I have a set of nearly-10 year old Q701s (same headphones, just lime green and branded Quincy Jones)

Other than the elastic suspenders weakening (looks like yours did the same; they all do!) and the plastic sliders cracking, they've been great. I replaced the elastics and the pads, but I wish the sliders were easy to do.

As a Canadian, I can say with certainty: check eBay, they’re usually listed for a lot less.

At this point, it's just virtue (vice?) signalling.

To be a good member of the right-wing-nutjob club, you have to know all the shibboleths: anti-climate change, vaccine denialism, performative bigtory, anti-urban, performative environmental abuses, transphobia, etc. Tribalism is fundamental to human psychology, and--despite people bitching about purity tests on the left--the right has been purity-testing it's members, purging non-conformers and othering enemies for a while.

Poillevre knows he must go all-in, lest he be replaced by someone with even less shame.

I disagree.

Jail the CFO and COO too. Maybe the veep of HR while we're at it.
