This absolutely applies to Canadian economic/military policy.
Third page has a line that the best time to stop wasting time was 10 years ago.
Carney is paying attention - Canadians are going to hurt as we prepare - we face threats from the south and north.
Hurt now or capitulate later.
Priorities.
YES.

For an idea of just how bad a BC Conservative govt *might* have been, just look at the wacko ideas being floated by some MLAs in Alberta's UCP govt, where even emergency contraception (abortion pills) are in the crosshairs of these uber-religious wackos

PM Carney was asked when he last spoke to Trump: "Who cares. It's a detail. I'll speak to him again when it matters. I don't have a burning issue to speak with the president about right now. When America wants to come back and have the discussions on the trade side we will have those discussions." 👏🏽

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

This has implications too for contributors to Canadian political parties - though in our case the contributions are feeding the conservative party.
Not only through direct contributions, but also by through owned media that so directly influences Canadian voters.
PostMedia anyone?

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com.

We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.

Once again, Americans who ought to know better proving they have no idea what "socialism" means. Swastikas, fine; a decent health service, quality state education and protection from extreme poverty, shock, horror!

That’s the point right there. Even if we weren’t on negative terms with the states the war in Ukraine should tell any US client to read the fine print of the end user agreement. When you cannot use the systems you paid for then what’s the point in the first place?

To protect Alberta children, the UCP is removing their human rights and the ability of their parents, teachers, and physicians to protect them.

The UCP knows best.

This is a classic populist trope.

How dare they kill the ostriches in the name of public health, that the farmers were planning to kill for meat, right?

It's more than a media problem; it's a Canada problem when the opposition leader can't pass a security check, is running the same losing schtick for years and is beholding to the anti-Canadian, seditionist Convoy crowd for his base support.

Stop using the language of the rapist.

It is not sex with children, it is rape of children.
It is not underage girls, it is children.
It is not sex trafficking, it is rape trafficking.

Never forget that Pierre Poilievre stood with the people who literally pissed and danced on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, tore down fencing to protect the National War Memorial. This group catapulted his leadership run. #cdnpoli #remembranceday

Those ostriches were being raised for meat and leather.
They were no more special than chickens or cattle that have also been culled because of virus.
Supporters of this farm run from grifters to extremely naive.
Priorities of supporters are skewed.

PM Mark Carney was talking about attracting foreign investment to Canada and listed reasons Canada is a good place to invest. A reporter pointed out that the U.S. has those things, too. What sets Canada apart?

PM Carney: "Well, we have rule of law."
