"... worked out in his favour" 🤣🤣

It is literally the greatest strategic blunder of this century.

It's going so well that being served polonium tea is now less likely than "accidentally while cleaning his side arm" alone in his bunker.

You say "from Henry Ford to elon Musk..."

But I hear "check out our series on rich fascists"

No thanks, Forbes.

Done 👍

Ukrainian disqualified from Winter Olympics over war tribute helmet Vladyslav Heraskevych defied pleas from the International Olympic Committee after it warned him a helmet featuring images of compatriots killed during the war with Russia would not be allowed

That’s the world we live in…

MB has an Affordable Energy Plan, which commits to "partnering" with Indigenous nations to generate 600 megawatts of wind power.

I'm hopeful it will be done properly, but the history of energy generation projects suggests a different pattern.

Today the winter Olympics open. Russia and Belarus are allowed to participate under neutral flag.

... but invasion of privacy is their profit model.

The Alberta Chiefs will not have their treaty lands traded away by the white supremacists pushing the break up of Canada.

Also... The dude got how many traffic tickets tossed out??

That means he got a bunch other cops to agree a number of times. So common that they'd do it for mere gift cards/booze.... but, no. Totally not a widespread issue. Pay no attention to any other officer not explicitly mentioned in this case.

This is a disaster. Can the governor call up the state's national guard to support disaster relief and law enforcement??

The people of #Minnesota have done everything right when it comes to peaceful protest. They've shown how it's done. Full respect.

But *peaceful* protest is not stopping gangs of violent nazis from murdering citizens.

When is a well regulated militia necessary for the security of a free state???

Fascinating read!

Thanks for sharing.

Kim Jong Un was right.

trump really is a dotard.

Summon the ambassador, and then PNG him.

It's -30 in Winnipeg today. I would rather walk to work barefoot than visit your country.

"Not that we're reveling in anybody's misery"... but how's your tourism industry doing these days??

"Everyday that The Very Funny Thing doesn't happen makes it statistically more likely that it will happen."

A quiet uproar?

So, like... an "upwhisper"??

Please, do go on...

-9 sounds balmy. But i get it, that wind can be a bit chilly.

Is the American public really ready to throw away their country because they're too afraid to overthrow their government??

I think both questions have the same answer.

Me: "Oh, wow, that's a lot of snow! Well, I guess I'd better get out there and start shoveling."

Wife: "Ok, be careful. Don't be a statistic!"

🤣

Thank you for making me double check!!!

Got it from cer-rec.gc.ca

But it was a "market snapshot"... my Google search was far too hasty. Neglected the part that said it was for June 2025... just one month 🤦‍♂️

You're probably right, numbers likely much higher.

But 2025 seems to be below 2024 stats.

Are you trying to suggest the pay cheques are the same???

Sure.

But they have a trillion dollar trade surplus. Export is how they fuel their economy.

I just don't see them wanting to build a factory in Canada, or really doing any investing here unless it's for resource extraction... except maybe to support tourism for Chinese nationals.

In 2025, about 14,090 zero emission vehicles were sold in Canada.

We just agreed to allow import of "up to" 49,000 Chinese EVs.

Seems China exporting EVs (rather building a factory here) is more than enough to meet market demand.

China's competitive advantage is cheap labour.

They want to increase export of EVs made in China, as profit margins are higher and their own domestic demand for new cars is starting to slow.

Seems really unlikely they would build a factory, pay Cdn wages, for a market the size of Fujian province.
