I'm sure he'll claim that: "I'm the biggliest of experts, nobody knows better than me, people say that I'm the best with both decimals and fractions, really smart people. Thank you for your attention on this matter."

Don't give 47 any ideas... It has decimal in the name and the regime mandates freedom fractions

there's nothing capitalists love more than gazing at the disastrous, inevitable wastelands created by capitalism and loudly blaming it on communism

The Nobel prizes have always been political; the committee needed someone they could shoehorn into the role they wanted, as evidenced by the statement they mai, and she was the best fit amongst those nominated

Does anyone believe that the same price fixing isn't happening in Canada?

No redactions, period! The US can deal with its creeps and other countries can deal with theirs but nobody who visited paedophile island should get their name redacted.

Allowing reactions invites ongoing conspiracy theories about who was excluded. The only viable solution is to name them all.

This country is so fucking partisan now and stupid it is exactly like America.

Leaders who punch down make bad Presidents, as you are currently experiencing.

The US exports significantly more to Canada than they do to China ($348B to Canada vs $144B to China), so the impact on American producers would be significantly higher.

We could reduce the domestic consequences with temporary tariff drops on imports of the same products from other countries.

China is the only country to date that has successfully gotten Trump to back down and they did it by escalating things to an insane degree until he had no choice but to back off (they help this along by giving him a face saving back down 'deal')

Disagree. While counter tariffs are a form of self harm (I agree on that) doing nothing in response sends Trump a message that he can escalate further. Trump believes in a zero sum game of winners and losers, thus to him anyone who accepts a tariff is a loser and he can then push further.

A broken clock is still right twice a day... And the odds that the Conservatives did this for the right reasons, and not just for the posturing, approach zero

I’m horrified to hear about the treatment of Sumud flotilla activists who were seeking to bring aid to Gaza.

Canadians are appalled by the ongoing genocide, and I want to recognize the work of @heathermcpherson.bsky.social and the NDP caucus in ensuring Canada respects international law.

Digital privacy is a lot like bathroom privacy; everyone knows what you are doing in there but you still close (and often lock) the door... And you sure as heck don't want anyone keeping a video of you on the toilet

1) Make the disinformation of misinformation and disinformation illegal in the same way that slander and libel are illegal with penalties exponential to audience size

2) Require that Canadian media be 100% Canadian Owned and operated

3) Limit any individual to ownership of a single media outlet

It would really be a shame if people started calling 911 to report the armed, masked, gang members the president was talking about in their neighborhoods... A real shame

Resistance doesn't require grand acts; millions of small acts can be enough to facilitate change.

Do what you need to survive but beyond meeting your needs stop cooperating with those who seek to hold you down. Commit a small act of defiance every day, it adds up

If Prime Minister @mark-carney.bsky.social want's actual nation building projects here are some suggestions he could build with #FPIC

1) A national high-speed train network operated as a subsidized crown corporation
2) A national Ultra HVDC power transmission line for green energy

I support universal healthcare and a universal basic income. If that makes me a radical leftist, so be it.

That's irrelevant

Just because PP is a bigger POS than Carney doesn't make Carney good; shockingly you can have multiple options which are just varying degrees of bad. There is nothing requiring any candidate to be good.

What PP would have done doesn't give Carney a pass for what he actually
