Short term pain for long term gain, I hope. The more he makes life miserable and expensive for highly skilled workers the more likely we’ll achieve a reverse brain drain.
They’re going after women’s autonomy and trying to roll back gay marriage. Imagine if even 5% of those doctors moved to our side of the border.
Zelensky isn’t facing down prison and treason sentences on their way out. But he would have to avoid Russian tea service in his retirement.
Whichever party can promise another season or two of Anne will secure the majority government.
I worked there during the frozen donut transition. A few really cool stoner night bakers got let go from my store.
I always thought the only reason they can choose to charge so much is because countries respected pharmaceutical patents. In a trade war the PM could just say that they won’t be enforcing any domestic generic drug copies.
I’d say he’s headed for his billionaire bunker but he likes golf too much to follow the scared dictator playbook.
Happening but not happened quite yet. It’s still a minefield at the grocery store to shop for things not partially or fully prepared in the US. For seemingly ubiquitous things like cream cheese or pickles, from recent outings.
I think it’s harder to find the signal from the noise of sameness.
I used to be able to find interesting bands and artists by watching The Wedge on MuchMusic or listening to my local alternative radio station. Now those stations all play Top 40 and TV shows got replaced by algorithmically curated beige.
As much as I am complaining I’d love if somebody could recommend some useful sources for somebody who wants to navigate away from Apple Music and Spotify streaming land.
It totally did. I am old enough to remember laughing at Abe Simpson and now I am become!
I’m liking this dude’s content more and more over the last month.
NAAATO, assemble!
I like it.
The definition of what’s European is squishy and doesn’t necessarily conform to geography. It could be qualified by shard values or borders if EU members agree.
I am fine with environmentalists who care about clean earth, air and water that’ll we can all enjoy making it harder for polluting companies to make more money that they hoard for themselves.
Inb4 corporate taxes and trickle down—it’s been 40 years and there’s no trickle. And there’s orders of magnitude between the tax rate and the cleanup or remediation costs that usually are left to the provinces to figure out… if at all.
I remember when modern music was interesting enough to want to pirate.
It’s a rare Klingon life hack that doesn’t make use of a bat’leth.
Set the automatic coffee pot… FOR THE GLORY OF THE EMPIRE!
I eat meat, too.
I think time to reflect is a factor. In the proceeding weeks we’ve seen that the tariff thing isn’t just a passing fart in the idiot’s brain space and that he’s following through on his threats.
I think the articles that say we couldn’t join based on bureaucracy are missing the existential threat NATO is facing right now. And what’s good for NATO is good for the EU.
The media needs to catch up with the notion that they can’t rely on Twitter to be an accurate pulse on the world sentiment. It’s not the same people at X. It’s not people at X in a lot of cases with the bots.
It likely went “berserk” because X’s algorithm and the bots are tuned to whip up keywords like “governor” and “Canada” used together.
I left a few months ago. I don’t miss the updates from people I drifted away from. I do enjoy the conversations I must now initiate to maintain worthwhile relationships. Hearing about somebody’s week face to face is worth a lot more than a few dozen “happy birthday hope it was a good one” replies once a year.
