  • 'Do-nothing centrist'? The guy has been PM for all of two months, and won his first national election on Monday. Maybe give him a few months.

    And by the way, he played a key role in orchestrating the bond selloff with the UK, France, and Japan on tariff day that caused Trump to back down. No other PM- none- could have conceived of let alone pulled off that.

  • Absolutely. I lost my 15 year account for using the phrase 'burn it all down' entirely metaphorically. They really, really didn't like Canadians pushing back. Fuck those guys.

    I hope Reddit dies in a fire, and not a metaphorical one. One with the ownership group literally aflame. And I'd like to roast marshmallows over that fire.

  • Buying local, buying Canadian, and removing internal trade restrictions actually has enormous environmental benefits as well. Carney knows this, he just doesn't want to feed the Conservative narrative about it.

  • No they didn't. Calgary has 25 seats, 14 of which are NDP. In 2023 there were 5 more that were lost by fewer than 1100 votes combined, which would have changed the outcome of the election. This was the best head-to-head showing by the NDP in Alberta ever.

    And with high-visibility Calgary-centric Nenshi as leader, It's entirely possible that that balance flips.

    Calgary isn't as conservative as you might want to believe.

  • Trudeau put some of the most critical environments on the planet at risk for Alberta’s pocketbook.

    Well, Canada's pocketbook. Let's not pretend that that oil money doesn't finance a whole lot of Canada's economy.

  • I agree that the Liberals should absolutely be put in the penalty box, as any government should after being in office for 10 years.

    And still the alternative is far worse. A rudderless, directionless group with no actual policy and no interest in accountability or transparency. Worse, with instincts that mimic the existential threat to Canada's sovereignty.

    Carney is a guy that seems singularly equipped for this moment. We'd be fools not to take advantage of that.

  • There used to be a market for small trucks which has all largely evaporated. I'm all in favour of a smaller utility truck with limited range. Something like this would be ideal for my business.

  • Deliberately threatening the cohort of people most likely to consider buying your vehicles isn't exactly a winning strategy. Elon asking 'how do I woo Tesla buyers back?' is like the Governor of California asking 'How do we woo Canadian tourists back?'

    You don't. It's like asking 'how big does the bribe have to be for you to sacrifice your every principle?' You can't. There is no argument you can make that isn't fundamentally offensive on its face. That market is gone forever.
