Its sad that the federal liberals in Canada spent so much effort to build up a strong Olympic team only for the Stephen Harper to sell it all off after the 2010 Olympics.

Canada should absolutely dominate at the Olympics, but a decade of the single worst Prime Minister in Canadian history, then a decade of feels over facts has left us in a sprry place.

Congrats to Norway

If you just have policies and leave it to private companies, you end up with Vancouver.

Where we have tons of policies and initiatives for affordable housing that only result in private developers stopping construction until the price has increased enough for them to profit, and then abusing loopholes to reduce/remove the amount of affordable housing in the actual building.

E.g. during the post-covid boom, Vancouver was a world leader in housing starts. Now that the price has cooled, starts have plummetted, so cons and US-Media are crying out about regulations. But no new regulations exist.

Because the only viable way to increase supply is to have a public construction company that builds at cost.

And thanks to Alberta and US media, that will never fly.

Also: dont overlook that media hounds women about everything.

Oddly enough, fucking Costco has been good for Canadian products and not overcharging like Superstore.

Farmers markets havent seen an increase other than sheer number of people.

Im sorry, the country known as the United States has abandoned the concept of freedom.

Please reacquire freedom and try your call again.

A mile is one thousand.

No, Hootsuite is just scummy all around.

They’ve previously been caught making people take unpaid internships.

Harper already ruined our reputation and Trudeau didn’t really repair it, just stopped the freefall degredation of it.

Yes, this hurts our rep just by joining it, but as its basically a “let Trump pretend he is king of the world” club its not an issue until he tries to use it to pressure us somehow.

I dont see it working because he’s inviting Netenyahu and Putin, and both of them work him by manipulation and they have opposing goals.

It doesn’t cost us anything to join it as Carney has ruled out paying into it. And it clearly makes the orange moron happy and distracted.

They’ve been obsessed with this since 1774.

Your state benefits tremendously from the refineries that were located in Vancouver that moved to WA.

We should criminalize the export of oil to your state.

Ah, the same people that dont know that Canada lost five refineries(at least!) When Conservative Mulroney signed NAFTA.

And now, Washington state has no income tax because of that, because they gained said refineries.

As I understand it:

We already have a contingent going for a preplanned exercise.

What we are not doing is stationing additional troops there indefinitely. Probably because we need them here for when that orange moron listens to Navarro or Miller again.

That history synopsis is completely imaginary.

Harper swerved us hard right.

He isnt nearly as villified as he should be.

That article did not mention CSIS?

Birdwatching: get and support the Merlin app. Its a great way to find out what birds live or pass through your area.

looks at measles and Alberta.

Yeah, it’s a niche for the 3d printing machine ecosystem that I am surprised hasnt been more eagerly filled.

A recycling grinder into filament machine shouldn’t be that difficult to make.
