Debating heading out to stock up on deodorant and other storable goods. Not that I want to buy American right now, just that historically domestic alternatives simply raise prices to match the tarrif product prices in an effort to profit take.

This is disgusting, how can so many Americans look at this man's antics and think a single positive thing? A criminal, rapist, liar, narcissistic, selfish, easily manipulated, hate monger, moron but the exit polls say "oh Trump would be best for the economy" like are you fucking kidding me? The guy with the plan to slap a tariff on every other thing? The guy who can't string together a coherent speech for the economics club? What a joke this all is, and here I am absoltuly physically sick about it. I'm sick because it actually matters, it does, it matters and it's so damn close this fucking clown could be in power again, after killing so many people, after taking women's rights away, after all of it, and because what? Voters remember cheaper bananas or some shit? Fuck this life.

Meanwhile, Trump is a convicted felon.

That's serious resistance worthy, in my opiniom. It's a straight facist manouver to stretch the law and good faith to install yourself. You have to fight facism.

The scared, stupid, and selfish model. You don't have to be all three, but any one of them and Trump will take advantage of it to bring you over.

We're in quite the state up here. One of our biggest problems is that Conservatives rule in many provinces, another problem is leakage of American conservatism up north, and a third problem is our PM is deeply unpopular despite, and I am willing to defend this, being one of the best PM's the country has had in my lifetime (40 years). It doesn't matter that one could fill a book with the PM's accomplishments, the guy has been tuned out by the population and honestly needs to retire. He has been around long enough to have accumulated enough ill will that he drags his party down, my party, and I hate saying it but I feel like he has to go before we end up with a conservative blowout and all the progress of the last decade is erased in just four years.

Yea, you've nailed it.

 

Donald Trump’s campaign was warned about not taking photographs before an altercation at Arlington National Cemetery during a wreath-laying ceremony earlier this week to honour service members killed in the Afghanistan War withdrawal, a defense official told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

[...]

“Federal law prohibits political campaign or election-related activities within Army National Military Cemeteries, to include photographers, content creators or any other persons attending for purposes, or in direct support of a partisan political candidate’s campaign,” the cemetery officials’ statement said. “Arlington National Cemetery reinforced and widely shared this law and its prohibitions with all participants. We can confirm there was an incident, and a report was filed.”

 

"All of my proposals are constitutional," Poilievre said.

"We will make them constitutional using whatever tools the constitution allows me to use to make them constitutional. I think you know exactly what I mean."

Last hint: lots of things fade with time, both physical and emotional. Some things fade quicker than others though.

"They have to get people back to work," Premier Doug Ford said during a press conference on Thursday in Ottawa, standing next to Mayor Mark Sutcliffe.

"It sounds crazy. I'm begging people to go to work for three days — not that they aren't working at home, but it really affects the downtown."

 

Albertans will pay more if they smoke, vape, or drive an EV.

 

Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the federal government will stop investing in new road infrastructure — a comment that immediately drew the ire of the Opposition Conservatives and some premiers who said the climate activist turned politician is out of touch.

Guilbeault said Tuesday the government will be there to support provinces paying for maintenance but Ottawa has decided that the existing road infrastructure "is perfectly adequate to respond to the needs we have."

"There will be no more envelopes from the federal government to enlarge the road network," Guilbeault said, according to quotes published in the Montreal Gazette.

"We can very well achieve our goals of economic, social and human development without more enlargement of the road network."

Guilbeault said the federal government is intent on moving people out of their cars and into public transportation, which the government has spent billions to build.

The federal government also wants to encourage "active transportation," which means getting people to walk and cycle.
