'The Red States, We're Going to Hit Hard': Canadian Politicians Vow to Make MAGA Pay for Trump's Trade War

Reply in thread

Ford is an absolute piece of shit, yeah. He's a conservative who has absolutely gutted our healthcare, education, social services and countless other things. He's also currently in a war against bikes and has been getting bike lanes ripped out all over the province.

I hate him with a passion but he has at least been very offensive in asserting our sovereignty which is nice even if it's completely shallow and done purely for his own self interests. Marlaine on the other hand though...

Arcanepotato's response nails most of it I think but my understanding is also that his commute (when he actually goes into the office) is primarily down a traffic-heavy street that happens to have a bike lane and he's bitter seeing cyclists fly past him while he's stuck in gridlock; so in spite of them, he's dedicated himself to ripping that lane out along with all the others in this province

Medicare for All Is Making a Comeback

Note that nearly everyone would benefit from this, as the reduced expense of necessities would offset the extra paid in taxes, and most households would end up ahead

Reminiscent of the carbon tax rebate here in Canada which I still miss but people are absolute morons

I've been trying to learn French. My whole dad's side of the family is Québécois but I grew up with my Mum for the most part in Ontario and was never spoken French to :(. I've cut off most of that side of the family now but I still adore everything about Québec and want to feel at home there someday

I don't know what it is but no matter how nice of socks I get or how well I take care of them, they will get a hole in the big toe area within a year at the very latest. I've never had socks last long enough to have the elastic wear out

Also yes my nails are kept short so it's not that

I finally bought a thinkpad

Fair point! In this case, I sold it to my brother who got through a fair bit of university with it so it did help a lot of people.

I get sentimental about tech that I used for a while though so I kind of hoard it all now that I don't need to sell the device to replace it
