As a potential airport user, I’m not too pumped up about the airport investment stuff as I would anticipate greater expense and worse service, but what I would guess is the reasoning there is that Carney is looking for a relatively stable domestic location that is big enough for the Canadian pension funds to store a bunch of dough - and there will be some dealings with unsavoury sorts to make that a reality.

My mental processing power is all potato based, so I probably don’t really understand what is happening.

He can always change his mind in December after they are finally finished hand counting the ballots from October.

Our immigrants also seem to dislike immigrants… Nothing like pulling the ladder up after yourself.

Even the smaller cities have good people in them, but they mostly have these rural-urban mixed ridings to make them appear to ride or die conservative.

I think that alternate mapping that was recently proposed had a ton of them.

The leader who does it will be one name everyone knows for many many years. I would think that would be attractive to people who seek a public life.

If there were actually exercise bikes involved at least we could laugh our way toward the end.

Time for that class action so we can all get our $5.29 each?

It seems these conservative parties are often, in the very beginning, a core group of fiscally-right people who actively decide they will strike a devil’s bargain with the social-right with the laughable intention that they could keep them in check.

I’d say those billionaires are ripe enough. Time to bring in the harvest.

I thought that our tariff response would be delayed until mid-september?

I think in the future when Trump announces tariffs we should be announcing counter-tariffs that will come into effect that same time, not waiting it out to see if he actually implements his before deciding. One side may have an advantage of speedier turn-around on implementing such things, which hopefully our people are working to mitigate as much as possible.

People need to realize that there are people who want you to believe you are powerless when you do not have to be.

My mind was blown when I learned that when a politician says “## jobs created” the actual unit is job-years. So that could be one job projected to be needed for 75,000 years or 75,000 jobs with a one year lifespan. Which is why they are constantly needing to make more jobs. Like, one person might need 45 job-years over their life of employment, but a politician would say that is ‘45 jobs’ in their little speeches.

There are probably some undiscovered life filled caves or lava vents that will be fine.

I think they are seeding the idea now so later they can jack the price and use this as an excuse so it will be more easily accepted. Any excuse will do for this lot.

I feel they would rather us slowly starve to death, or aphixiated by smoke, in small manageable packets than be roused all at once to action. All hail netflix and doordash, the bane of revolution!

And don’t think I ascribe any higher status to myself. I am only another fool shouting into the wind, paralyzed, and unable to gather the mental resources to act.

Some do act, I think, build revolution, and fight their way out of comfort to face the hard shapes of reality where the battle must be taken, but I cannot imagine such a person. What do they feel? How were they raised to be this way?

It would be nice if the less-than-needed jobs could be cut and the needed jobs split more evenly among everyone able to do so. I’d love a 5 day weekend, or to be able to imagine retirement as a possibility.

I think Canada Post should be doing some kind of hyper-secure electronic messaging service for canadians, and also maybe internet for everyone as a utility, not selling random loose goods. Like, if a sci-fi writter from the 1800s imagined what a post office from the 2800s would be doing.

What a poor broken person. I support helping individuals like this by helping rid them of their unhealthy obsessions, removing them from the psychologically damaging effects of the public spotlight, and giving them tasks and goals in a controlled safe space so that they can achieve happiness without harming themselves or others.

Are we supposed to be some sort of gestalt entity composed of all the individuals that work there or the inanimate legal entity?

This existed well before Friday. My doctor recommended I pay to get a quicker scan last year. I’m not sure of the exact details since I didn’t do it.

I won’t say I’m not tight with cash, which factored into the decision, but I also really hate this fall into private health care and don’t want to support that. I was told it would be about $400 for a private MRI.
