Canadian retailers never needed an excuse to raise prices. They have and will always charge the max amount they think they can get away with.

No one ever leaves money on the table.

Canned goods and ammunition are still part of GDP. Maybe they are just saying the economy will shift from a consumer economy to a prepper economy.

India will pursue its own self interest as it always has. It has no interest in interdependency on the US and the irony of the US stabbing everyone in the face, while then begging for help shows how irrational they are. They are at best an unreliable trade partner.

No one can partner with stupidity and chaos.

They will accept direct foreign investment and will gladly climb the manufacturing capabilities ladder as the Chinese have done so successfully. But they will trust the US as much as the trust China. I.e. not at all.

Yeah, this is at most a minor logistics rerouting. Doesn’t impact us.

Hypocrisy when dishing ad hominems yourself rather than tackling crime or crime guns with evidence based policy.

I’m sorry that people’s propety hurt your feelings.

Trump, his techbro and oiligarch backers etc.

Trump: To defeat jina, we must become jina.

sounds like a veiled threat.

No. I want you to go away, for precicely these irrational associations.

You cannot compare American gun juggling dipshit society, with Canadian licensing storage and usage regulations and a culture of general safety and collective cohesion.

Everything increases deaths in Canada. Cars, food, chemicals. Evidence based policy means you tailor the response to the problem. Legal firearms are a fart in a hurricane and doesn’t warrant the disproportionate bans and buybacks while ignoring the real problems of smuggling and crime, especially repeat criminals.

Who cares? Reddit is American and I dumped it completely and forever as a consequence for their backstabbing.

If anyone still uses it, please post in the Canadian subs to come here. Fuck Reddit and Fuck the US.

While Air B&B has done irreperable harm to the housing market, I’m not 100% convinced it should be banned. I propose if a house operates as an enterprise, it be taxed according to commercial rates, not residential. It would go a long way to resolving the inequities.

Can they? I’m not convinced. They flaunt the rules based international order are engaged in the most cynical version of realpolitik imaginable. China gets pissy if you exercise your own law in your own country while simultaneously demanding you respect their sovereignty and foreign policy goals and operating illegal underground “police stations” in other countries. Seriously, fuck China.

The US lost their reliable partner status because they are trying to compete with China by becoming like China.

We can trade, but no deep partnerships can occur with either of them, and we can’t free trade or we’ll get swallowed by the realpolitiks of it all. E.g. dumping to destroy strategic domestic industries etc.

US: Stabs friends in the eye.

Also US: Pwease hewlp fwiend.

Fuck off US.

He wants to play to his base. Canadian licensed gun owners are overwhelmingly not the problem.

US border porosity is.

This is a wedge issue. Cons lock up the gun vote which is larger than you think, especially in rural areas.

The Libs lockup the antigun vote popular in urban areas and especially Québec.

Both parties have abandoned “good government” policies, with over and under reach respectively while ignoring the real issues.

If you want to tackle gun crime, that 2 billion Fentanyl Czar and Hellicopter patrol needs to be chasing drugs AND guns. It’s the same people, using sthe same methods. We also need to build more prisons and jails so violent offenders don’t get the “commit another crime while on bail from the last one”.

Libs and Cons need to stop playing wedge politics and do their duty to grounded, evidence based legislation that doesn’t flip flop and turn innocent gun owners into paper criminals or wastr money buying back legally acquired guns that were never used in crimes or by criminals.

Right. The entire GOP needs to be in prison.

No one will stick their neck out for the US. Trump must step down and return sanity to America. This doesn’t fix relations, but it may signal the begining of a return to a healing position. Over a very long time, 50 years, the US may gradually recover some of that lost trust.

Hard to earn. Easy to lose. Even harder to win back. America, you played yourself.

That’s not an “or”. I said scale one to the other. Build as many houses as you can. It still holds true.

A lot of good people need to make the switch.

This deep into a housing crisis and a cost of living crisis, you have to cap immigration to housing completion - natural growth rate. Otherwise you will just exacerbate the issues, and we’ll never get ahead.
