Why in the would did the article pivot to talk about US tariffs instead of discussing the 100% tariff we put on BYD and co?

Strange they don't mention anything about matching the EUs ~30% tariffs on EV's from China.
It depends on the riding. For some ridings a Liberal vote is the one that'll increase CPC chances.
Check smartvoting.ca/ridings/fede... first.
I checked your profile and concluded that I have misread your original intentions. I thought you wanted to prevent PP from being elected. I now see you don't actually care about that and just want to spread misinformation in an attempt to scare people in to voting for the Liberals. Please stop.

I think I showed there's lots you can 'use' a book for, none that requires permission. Cheryl, have you not used any textbooks or school books to further your career? I know I have book I paid ~$100 for that have earned me at least 10x that. Should I have gotten permission?
07.04.2025 13:21 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0So where do I apply for permission to read a book? Is there a different permission form if I just want to use it to hold a door open?
I'm open to listening but I really don't get this "they read my book without permission" standpoint.
(and no one better read this reply without my say so)
I've said it before, but I don't get why some authors believe they should be able to control who reads their book and what they do with the information contained within.

Anyway, I read the paper. It doesn't answer my previous question. If you come up with an actual answer in the future, I'm all ears to discuss.
That sounds rather hand-wavy . How does knowing the origin affect how we make better vaccines? How does it affect preventing spread?
Can you give me one concrete thing we could do differently going forward depending on the origin?
How? I'm actually asking. Please tell me how knowing the origin (if that's even possible) will save lives.

We've all used knowledge from books we've read to make money.
You say that but I've found it actually can fix it's own errors fairly frequently. While using Aider I've seen LLMs solve issues by do things like add debugging prints and asking for the output.

Appreciate the sentiment. We know. We also know and are sorry you have to deal with this current mess at home.
And we need to thank you. Your mess has played a big part in it being at least possible that we don't elect our own nutjob soon.
Which matters why? Either origin is entirely possible so what difference does it make which one occurred?

Looking at 338canada.com/ontario/ it seems the results came out pretty close to the polling data. I'm all for higher voter turnout, but in this case it doesn't look like it would have made any difference. (Please correct me if I'm wrong though)
