How do you possibly justify different penalties depending on the religion of the killer and victim?

China 🇨🇳 is a terrible enemy and ripping of the USA 🇺🇸. Oh, but we need a lot of their students.

How is a poor MAGA brain 🧠 supposed to process that? It must make their thinkers overheat and that makes them cranky.

It’s really hard to talk out of both sides of your mouth, but Trump does it all the time.
First you demonize foreigners (especially non-white) and do everything you can to have your followers and government make them feel unwanted and even unsafe.
Then you say you need some of them.

This would be paid from the illegal tariffs collected from the US population? Why not get rid of the tariffs and bring down those prices?

- I think you need to let dear leader Pierre know that because he's done a HELL of a lot of that.
Wants to give his rural riding to Carney
- That makes no sense. No one would cross the aisle to hand their seat to someone else.
Wants to "Build for the World"
- That's build so we can sell to the world

Doesn't support a 'Canada First' agenda 🇨🇦
- Is this the Maple MAGA version of Trump's policy.
Clearly Carney's policy is very much putting Canada's LONG TERM interests first.
Likes travelling on the taxpayer dime
- So you are saying Conservatives don't get to travel on the taxpayer dime?

And that's the slippery slope we're sliding down. The more it gets used, the more it WILL get used. And it's use will be trivialized.

Yup, my mind outsmarted me. They still need 2 more votes to have the majority.

Good news is that there's rumors swirling of possible more defections from the Conservative with those unhappy with Pierre's style, policies or other grievance.

+1 Liberals
-1 Conservatives

Is that not a swing of 2?

Nova Scotia MP resigns from Conservative caucus, crosses floor to join Carney Liberals Nova Scotia MP Chris d’Entremont is crossing the floor, defecting from Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s official opposition caucus to join Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberals.

Perhaps my math and understanding of numbers are wrong. But if the Liberals were 3 seats short of a majority, a person leaving the opposition and joining them is a swing of 2 votes.
+1 #Liberals
-1 #Conservatives/Opposition

So they need only 1 vote extra now.

That sounds like a Conservative policy. Especially since it would make them very unpopular with seniors. No thanks.

Here’s an idea, the Conservatives can make that a campaign promise.

No one has yet found the lost manual to reprogram the SkippyBotAI that runs him. Still fixated on 3 word slogans and Justin. The AI only know how to run against Justin.

Well, given that Russia has a Veto in the UN Security Council it would be impossible to import sanctions on Russia on China's terms. Obviously.

Inside one Conservative MP’s ‘Restore the North’ tour, a Canadian take on Charlie Kirk’s movement | CBC News By asking how to 'restore the North,' Conservative MP Jamil Jivani hopes to expand Charlie Kirk's U.S. campus tour movement — and ignite a national conversation here in Canada.

I wonder if there's thought here about young women? I'm not sure we need a Maple version of Turning Point. Yes, young men are facing issues, but they aren't the only ones.

If you feel speaking your mind could expose you to accusations of "toxic masculinity" then...?

It's not a divorce. It's more like seeing other countries, an open relationship.

The would be the revised schedule, not the original schedule.
The revised schedule reflects some delays in various subprograms including the HLS. You'll note is it NOT updated for actual milestones in 2025. Specifically it lists the uncrewed lander test for this year, which I said will be missed.

and so they are doing... what?

Perhaps writing (for those that can) or calling your Congressmen (who should have lots of time on their hands right now) and Senator and demand they put a stop to it? They can do that, if they choose to act.

Propellant transfer testing was due in March 2025.

SpaceX is far from meeting these deliverables. They are needed to meet the goal of beating the Chinese to a moon station.

Perhaps #ElonMusk could provide some evidence that he's actually on track to deliver the HLS.

Except he can't. An uncrewed test flight was due in... 2025.
He's not likely to achieve orbit this year. Then a bunch of other technology milestones like in space refueling. Tanker variant needed too!
