It is not that they can’t compete. It is simply that they long ago stopped innovating and so they WON’T compete.

American cars can't compete with China's and/or Asian EVs.

Ontario Liberals divided over Nate Erskine-Smith byelection bid — Toronto Star Doly Begum's decision to jump from the provincial NDP to run for Prime Minister Mark Carney's federal Liberals in Scarborough Southwest has rocked Queen's Park.

Many say Jivani should stay on his own lane.
Truth is he has no special standing in his position. He is a backbencher. He is not a critic.
He doesn’t have a lane to stay in.

Jivani is a backbencher. Not even status as a CPC official critic.
He has NO lane to stay. He’s gone off road. Think he is hoping his buddy JD will arrange for a tow when he gets bogged down in the swamp.

Jamil Jivani wants to help. (Self help?)

On CBC Power & Politics I read the consensus as being he should stay in his lane.
Thing is he is a backbencher with CPC. Not even a party critic.
That being the case, Jivani ha no lane!

Jamil #Jivani - the “good friend” of #JDVance is making noise about how he is negotiating a trade agreement to replace #CUSMA.

Truth? Jivani is a #Con backbencher. No official critic standing in #CPC.

General agreement? He should stay in his lane.

Truth? He doesn’t even have a lane!

Next-Gen Chevy Silverado Is Arriving This Year — Here’s What It Could Look Like — Autoblog Patent drawings and digital renders are giving us an early look at what the next Silverado and Sierra could bring to the table.

What these “new” trucks look like will not matter.
Hyundai, Kia, Honda and Toyota are coming for the segment.
I predict the demise of GM, RAM and Ford pickup truck markets in 10 years.

True innovation and competition are the only things that can possibly save them.

Experts raise security concerns about Carney’s deal on Chinese EVs — Global News More Chinese-made vehicles are set to hit the market in Canada after Prime Minister Mark Carney made a deal to allow almost 50,000 Chinese EV’s into the country in exchange for lifting tariffs. But in...

This is all FUD.
The Detroit Big Three fail to innovate.
The “Big 3” are weaponizing Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt. They’ve abandoned any competitive positions in EVERY vehicle market segment.
Chinese Spy cars? Bullshit!

Canada’s Move to Import Cheap Chinese EVs Is ‘Slippery Slope,’ GM CEO Says — The Wall Street Journal Thousands of electric vehicles from Chinese automakers can enter Canada this year at new low tariff rate

GM’s Barra & Ford’s Farley abandon every market segment where they claim to be uncompetitive.
They shifted to high profit trucks & SUVs.
They fail to innovate.
They’re “too big to fail” but took billions in bail outs.
They’re still shoeing horses.

Trump says Alex Pretti should not have brought a gun to a demonstration.

But it seems it is perfectly fine to bring an AR-15 to the line up for food at a McDonalds.

It is all open carry anyway.

Thankfully, the right to bare arms in Canada means you are allowed to wear a T-shirt.

Mr. Carney, your Davos speech was brilliant and pitch perfect. You said what had to be said, and you make us proud to be Canadian. We won't bend the knee to tyrants, and he can threaten all the tariffs he wants. We'll hang tough.

Tin soldiers and Trump is coming.

(Sorry CSNY. But I am sure you understand.)

Donald Trump is erratic. He is flip flopping left right & center with no logical pattern of thought.

Americans! Step back and think about where you want your country to go.

Trump is irrational.

Invoke the 25th amendment, and then watch JD closely and, if necessary remove him too.

Add declare medical expense bankruptcy to the get well soon.

It is the Board of Piece. How else can he grift?

Would the Donald actually go for a walk with a Penguin that has an obviously greater brain capacity than his?

And just what country is a threat to our elections?
Threat to Canada from the USA far exceeds that of any other country in the world.
At worst, China may be able to mess with a couple ridings while USA will influence whole swaths of provinces.

I have often thought that call in some people #idiots was very unfair to actual idiots.

I will always replace the word “idiot” with a new term.

From here on in, I will use “trump” to characterize those with substandard levels of intelligence.

As an example?

Trump is a trump.

Trump withdraws Canada's invitation to “Board of Piece”

Corrected spelling for the name of the latest grift being perpetrated by #Trump

This #BoardofPiece is set up for tinpot dictators to grift taxpayer funds and redistribute them to their personal accounts.

apple.news/A_bnQl9CJRsC...

Just a quick spelling correction.

The #BoardofPeace should be spelled #BoardofPiece.

Just another #TrumpGrift and #Trump is building the grift by providing a pathway for these corrupt “leaders” to have a big share of the scraps they steal from taxpayers.

The #BoardofPiece is another grift to line #Trump and his damned family’s pockets and real estate holdings.
The fellow grifters signing onto “Board of Piece” will source the $billion from their countries’ taxes.
Trump grifts the “director” fees and share some scraps with the fellows.
