And how, pray tell, is a “real” firearm going to help defend against the most technologically advanced army in the world, who can take you out from half a planet away without you ever seeing anyone until you are ginsu-bladed in half (reference: https://www.pcmag.com/news/us-used-drone-carrying-knife-missile-to-kill-al-qaeda-chief)?

We don’t need more firearms in personal hands when it comes to our national defence, we need alliances, a better standing army, and probably some form of nuclear deterrence. Thinking you’ll make any meaningful difference with your personal firearm and a couple of hours on the gun range is the exact same magical thinking 2FA nuts keep using while the US government takes their rights and freedoms away.

Yeah yeah, I blame autocorrect.

If your machine has a TPM chip, you can bypass the other requirements to upgrade to 11 with a simple registry edit. Not sure if that’s an option for you, but it saved parents’ older Surface device from the landfill.

“I have concepts of a plan…”

Articles like these price why this country needs the CBC. Keeping politicians honest while providing fair and balanced reporting is an indispensable task needed to keep the populace informed and democracy working as intended.

…and nothing will change, because the administration holds itself above and beyond the reach of the law and the judiciary.

I was indeed gonna remark that people seem to have forgotten who made attacking science and scientists that don’t fit the party narrative acceptable again in the first place…this is a page Trump took out of Harper’s playbook, not the other way around.

Flavor-aid actually, but in this case who cares so long as the solution is the same.

Yeah, I fear you’re right. Such a shame of the amazing world and lore they built.

With the way Ubisoft is going, that one’s the least likely to see the light of day. Sadly :-(

I live in an area that has lots of heli skiing, and while your general assessment of it being a rich person’s hobby is correct, this late in the season is generally locals that saved for a trip for the whole year and now get to book with heavy rebates.

While I’m not saying that’s the case here, I’d still err on the side of sympathy.

[Edit] Turns out the founder of Dinosaurs will Die was killed in that avalanche (source: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/tributes-3-heli-skiers-killed-avalanche-1.7493921). Rest in peace Jeff, and ride on in the afterlife.

While you may be right, I still want to make sure the Finns get credit for naming these home made petrol bombs since the origin of the name is just so badass.

He already did. Tariffs are an act of war, especially when overtly related to annexation goals (as is the case here).

Honest question: Does anyone know if those tariffs apply retroactively? Say you purchased something a couple weeks ago, but it hasn’t crossed the border yet due to shipping delays, would it get taxed under the old rules? Or does it incur the tariff?

Best joke? He sent it to an agency that has no enforcement authority in Canada. Goes to show how delusional they are, thinking we’re already part of the US

“…calling it “treason,” “an embarrassment” and a “disgrace.”” Yeah, because it is. Fuck these treasonous bastards.

If you love the US that much, how about you migrate there and don’t drag the rest of us kicking and screaming with you?

The thing that worries me is that, to some MLAs apparently, the BC Conservatives aren’t anti-Canadian enough (looking at the folks voting against the motion to condemn the Trump tariffs).

Where do they find these traitors and wackjobs?

Thanks for digging that one up. That’s a pretty insane map to look at honestly. Just about everyone in BC either lives on, or near, a fault line. That really helps put the level of geological activity in the province in perspective.

I’d sure love to see how this will improve the cost of living in the US…

Who am I kidding? It’s not like Trump has a track record of lying and taking people what they want to hear to get them to support him, then immediately stab them in the back.

What we should do imho, as a country, is launch a massive marketing campaign on all major networks in the US and tell people that the financial pain they’re now feeling is all the fault of DC and get them to pursue their representatives to get Trump to undo this madness. It’ll prove far more effective than retaliatory tariffs, because most folks in the US simply aren’t aware of what the government is doing.

Sometimes I wonder what the alternative universe where JT inherited his dad’s spine would look like.
