I’m in Canada. I thought she lost her seat in 2024 or something because I hadn’t heard anything about her.

director of operations for Conquer Transport, told CBC News in June 2026 that he helped his son and daughter-in-law set up the Alberta operations in 2022 after the Manitoba branch was closed.

I’ve heard this is a common play when running shady businesses. Keep going until you get shut down or someone gets sent to jail, shuffle the assets around, reform the business with a different family member running it. Maybe someone serves some jail time but it’s ok, the family will take care of him once he’s out.

When I write it out like that it sounds a lot like organized crime.

There are some people that are completely incapable of living in society. I guess that’s what dangerous offender status is for but it sucks that this much harm has to be done before it reaches that point.

I’m not American so I’m not super well versed in American politics… but I didn’t realize until reading your comment that there isnt really a chance at seeing sweeping changes as a result of this election.

Lol. I’m embarrassed that he’s a Canadian.

The $70 billion project, backed by celebrity investor Kevin O’Leary

Of course it’s the wonder valley project. I don’t have time to read the full article just now but last I had heard it kind of sounded more like investor fraud than a legitimate project.

Edit: Here’s a youtuber covering it. Also at about 5:03 he shows the promo video that Kevin O’Leary AI slopped… It’s ridiculous.

Just because things don’t happen the way you want them to doesn’t mean it isnt politics.

Edit: this next part is only loosely realted to this discussion but… I recently had a discussion like this with a coworker. He had the idea that he was a-political and was just enjoying “watching the show” and then would spout political opinions that he didn’t recognize as such. For example, Ukraine got brought up and he said he didn’t care about xyz because [both sides-ism] and Ukraine probably did something to instigate it. Finally after that I decided to butt in every time he took a political stance and remind him that (for example) Ukraine not being entirely innocent IS in fact a political stance.

Everything is politics.

“Lost the popular vote” is commonly understood to mean they aren’t the party with the most votes. The conservatives were unarguably the party with the most votes. They won the popular vote.

Im not a fan of this outcome either but don’t try to spin the results by redefining terms.

Formatted HD. Have then try to search the BIOS.

It’s not 32% get searched, it increased by 32%. It’s still not common.

Export tarrifs is a sketchy game to start playing. We still buy a bunch of food and other important stuff from the USA. I try not to, but I wouldnt want to impact food security.

Maybe the people selling tge specialized stuff to farmers just increase their price for Americans. This is definitely a situation where we the individuals have the collective power to fuck them.

The rail strike was absolutely ridiculous. CP and CN absolutely colluded to create that and the government did absolutely noting to seperate the strikes or hold them accountable.

Also don’t forget, CN and CP LOCKED OUT the union. Also they stopped shipping any new dangerous goods weeks before the lockout to make sure that those that relied on DG shipments to power generators in Quebec and clean their municipal water supplies would be loosing their shit on day one of the lockout. They also posted messaging warning people about potential unsafe drinking water if the lockout went on too long.

The government could literally spin up their own Mastodon instance with minimal investment and management needed

But then comes the hard part: getting people to use it, especially normal people. Even just getting the politicians on it would be difficult.

Or the ones that become too powerful.

Some employers with ties to other countries were sort of selling work visas. They’d get the LMIA permit (or whatever its called) and then get someone that wanted to come to Canada but couldn’t immigrate any other way to pay 10’s of thousands to come work that job.

It was nice knowing you.

Maybe we’ll see a federal party that’s a provincial voting block, similar to the PQ, spring up in the west in the semi near future.

You mean like the reform party but more spicy?

eventually settling on the winning side

Hardly… but I don’t see why picking a side on anything in the referendum mattered. The referendum was to see what Albertans wanted and they told her.

Jim Pattison owns a bunch of grocery stores of different types. I believe its the same rewards program for ALL of them so thats like 60% of all grocery stores in BC.
