There is a lot of political capital going down the drain for this support.

Have been using this type of bag since I first picked up one somewhere in Vietnam ~10+ years ago. But they are not all created equal. Those made from Cordura brand fabric seem particularly good.

I wonder if he actually is going to meet with Farage? Badenoch is his IDU analogue.

Sounds like some well timed red meat for the base to counteract PP's speech to the Economic Club.

He had a makeover and prosthetics to try and look more like Trudeau. Next the balding banker look?

Soon he will be sporting a Carney-esque bald spot.

It's the Wedrink Stovetop Espresso Coffee Maker. Not an authentic Moka but all the reviews on the real Moka or the adapter plates for it led me to it. So far I am pleased. www.amazon.ca/wedrink-Stov...

I had to buy one with a compatible base for my induction stovetop. The traditional aluminum doesn't work.

Followed on Gander. The search is working quickly this a.m. for either format. Doesn't seem to be case sensitive.

I have a beta account too but when I search for @ErinCandy.gander.social it doesn't find it. @Bill-Marshall.gander.social

I do my basic amateur carpentry in Imperial. When I need more precision, I use metric. It's easier.

Canada must support Cuba "You cannot β€˜live within the lie’ of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination.”

Here is my latest at Substack! Canada's refusal to defend and support China shows that Carney's Davos speech was nothing but talk.

This video by the Durham County DOH, about how viruses like covid spread, is more informative than about anything released on the topic by public health officials in Canada.

If you want to help prevent your friends and family from getting sick, please share it with them!

What if instead of an unproven Modular Nuclear Reactor (using USian fuel) Ontario installed renewables and storage batteries made in this plant?

I would argue this turn started during Harper's time as PM. I would get so frustrated by the questions CBC failed to ask.
I was a long time CBC radio listener. I can't now. Reporting is soft on the right-wing, as you point out, and the rest of the programming is increasingly vapid.

A large part of their base wouldn't know the I.D.U. from an I.U.D.
