This was a really fun interview, and a neat insight into Carney as a person.

The pauses will not stop the rest of the world from moving away from reliance on the US. Not just in Canada but Europe and Asia and Mexico and others too.
This instability and recklessness and irrationality is terrible for businesses. And noting you can say can change the fact that US voters selected these asshats twice. America cannot be relied up, they are fucking cooked.
The rest of the world will work together, without them.
I think there’s a lot of room in the market right now to leverage the HBC name and locations to implement a Costco-like retail experience but with a Canadian focus.
Best of luck to this endeavour
Hilbert later went on to accuse the NDP of unhelpful “virtue signalling.”
As opposed to her lack-of-virtue signalling?
These maga turds need to be called out for being worse at spouting drivel to signal their base, than the very people they criticize.
It’s kind of amazing that we don’t already.
Sure, ok, stack on more tariffs then.
We can find better ways to use our wood and energy and metals than give it to them for cheap.
And we can make our own insulin. Fuck their broken copyright system.
I have zero problems with legal surveillance related to investigations of serious crimes, including the specific issue mentioned in this article — foreign interference in our electoral process.
With any surveillance it’s important to have safeguards to ensure it’s not abused and to ensure that unrelated private data is not exposed — such as the union conversations being called out in your snippet here. But this is not unique to phone-based surveillance, the same would be true for conversations recorded in an old fashioned bug or wire recording.
What’s important to me here is legal oversight to ensure the collections are warranted, and safeguards to prevent abuse of the collected data.
They’re still leaning on this same thing weeks later? Their hunt for manufactured dirt is pretty weak so far.
I get that you’re upset. So am I.
But revoking citizenship is a big deal and it deserves to be treated as such.
Since you’re being disrespectful I’m going to end the conversation now.
My emotional instinct is to agree. My rational brain has serious concerns about revoking citizenship as a punishment.
If this was to be done, it would have to be done with the most extreme caution possible. Paper citizens with zero ties to the country and who promote treason, but not just Canadians we are super mad at.
I’m torn because on the one hand I’m concerned about the precedent and how a hypothetical future CPC PM might abuse it. Then again the American example shows that not having precedent set isn’t a huge barrier to evil policy, and the CPC shares near-identical ideology to them.
At the very least though we can encourage our representatives and institutions to cut ties with X
It’s disgusting and unacceptable that Canadian institutions and politicians still use that site.
When I lived in the US (left in 2018), there was zero appetite amongst politically active people to change this. If these feelings do exist now I’d expect them to be in their infancy.
Would love to have someone show me counter-indications though.
