I’ll vote remain and no on all except abolishing the Senate. I happen to agree with that one, even though this is totally performative.

I’m sure he can tank ketamine like a champ.

She suggested that he was responsible for deaths and he didn’t handle that well.

Export Development Canada provided between $100 million and $200 million in project financing for the gas-fired plant that will power Meta’s data centre in Sturgeon County, Alta., Canada’s National Observer has discovered.

The federal Crown corporation, which is backstopped by Canadian taxpayers, lent the money on July 2 – the same day that Pembina, Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners and Kineticor Asset Management reached a final investment decision on the $4.6-billion project. Its involvement has not been previously reported and was not publicly announced.

Just in case anyone was wondering whether any level of government was looking out for our interests on this. Obviously the provincial government isn’t, either.

Sorry, I was a little hot under the collar when I made that reply.

Reuters was not originally a Thomson family outfit but rather was purchased by them in 2008.

The Thomson family is the wealthiest family in Canada, btw. Wonder what kind of effect they have on our politics?

How many “communication failures” does he get before we get to call them what they are?

But Mark, I think you were actually very clear. Do you mean to say you shouldn’t have lied? Because I would agree with that.

This guy lied to our faces knowing all this was going to come out eventually. He really thinks we are stupid.

[Edit] To my downvoters, read the fucking article. The PM lied to you. He thinks you are stupid. Are you as stupid as he thinks you are?

Has California or Minnesota considered blackmailing the president?

Kinda sad I didn’t make their shadowban list.

Sucks you got downvoted. It’s good to keep apprised of what they are saying about us.

The official called the new side deal with the U.S. a parallel agreement to the 2012 Canada-Michigan agreement and said it stipulates that an amount equal to half the net revenues from the bridge will be paid into a U.S.-run economic development fund. The mandate of the fund would be to increase economic development and trade between Canada and the U.S., but it will be up to the U.S. how the money is spent, the official said. The official emphasized that the money paid to the United States would not come directly from the toll revenues but would come from Canadian government coffers in an amount equal to half the net revenues from tolls.

Absolutely insane disregard for human life. What a failure on multiple levels.

I mean, they are both round, sweet fruits that have seeds and grow on a tree. Pretty comparable, honestly.

Just a little treat from life to us in these trying times. Thank you life, I accept gratefully.

They livestreamed the thing. We didn’t need to attend.

Alternate title: Canada attends fascism summit.

“This is a distinctive and unique evil. It has always been driven by a hatred, above all else, a hatred for civilization itself. It is a revolt of the worst against the best, a revolt of the weak and the cowardly against the strong and the good. It is perpetrated by those who cannot build, who cannot create, who cannot achieve great things, and take their revenge upon the world for their own inadequacy by seeking to destroy those who can. This is what radical leftism is.”

Definitely not beating the allegations.

Sense of wonder from discovering how different people from different places think similarly or differently of the same experiences, or different experiences you never thought about.

I mean, I’m sure some percentage of people who learn a language do so for that reason. But the vast, vast majority of time someone learns another language it’s going to be because they expect to use it, I imagine.

Lethbridge is another prairie city with an exceptional river valley, in my opinion. It seems like their downtown renewal program was going well when I was last there in 2024, as well. I had some really great carnitas which I was not expecting to find in that part of the country.
