Temu Trump

Well that’s bullshit. And I’m from rural Alberta

‘Do-nothing centrist’? The guy has been PM for all of two months, and won his first national election on Monday. Maybe give him a few months.

And by the way, he played a key role in orchestrating the bond selloff with the UK, France, and Japan on tariff day that caused Trump to back down. No other PM- none- could have conceived of let alone pulled off that.

Watching them sing the anthem full-throated during the 4 nations was a sight to behold.

Your original instinct was actually correct. Fingers have the metacarpal, proximal phalange, middle phalange, and distal phalange. The thumb doesn’t have a middle phalange. The proximal and distal phalange connect directly to each other.

We have fully truncated it to just thumb because of how it feels more unique to the others

Kinda like the goalie on a hockey team or the drummer in a band. Still on the team, just a bit weirder.

No they didn’t. Calgary has 25 seats, 14 of which are NDP. In 2023 there were 5 more that were lost by fewer than 1100 votes combined, which would have changed the outcome of the election. This was the best head-to-head showing by the NDP in Alberta ever.

And with high-visibility Calgary-centric Nenshi as leader, It’s entirely possible that that balance flips.

Calgary isn’t as conservative as you might want to believe.

Trudeau put some of the most critical environments on the planet at risk for Alberta’s pocketbook.

Well, Canada’s pocketbook. Let’s not pretend that that oil money doesn’t finance a whole lot of Canada’s economy.

I agree that the Liberals should absolutely be put in the penalty box, as any government should after being in office for 10 years.

And still the alternative is far worse. A rudderless, directionless group with no actual policy and no interest in accountability or transparency. Worse, with instincts that mimic the existential threat to Canada’s sovereignty.

Carney is a guy that seems singularly equipped for this moment. We’d be fools not to take advantage of that.

It’s called Getting in touch with your inner self.

We wouldn’t even have to fight that hard, just deny resources. February would whittle down the numbers quite nicely.

There used to be a market for small trucks which has all largely evaporated. I’m all in favour of a smaller utility truck with limited range. Something like this would be ideal for my business.

Not only is he going to secure a Carney majority, he may well cost Polievre his own seat.

We’ll be erecting Trump statues soon if he doesn’t quit being so helpful.

You’re not wrong. It looks so much bigger than the 2.1m sq km that it is. In fact, it’s 100k smaller than the Democratic Republic of the Congo. When you look at a Mercator map, Greenland looks comparable to the entire continent of Africa.

It’s actually useful to note that Canada+USA together (19.8 sq km) is bigger than Russia (17m sq km) by about an India (3m sq km), but still short of the former USSR (22m sq km). But add in Greenland (2.3)? Now you’ve got the biggest country that ever existed.

You’re right, making an America that is the largest country on earth is precisely what his ego is after.

We’re not always great a describing who we are, but we sure as fuck know who we are not.

Hey, just a lone Canuck on a 10 state fire season careless smoking tour of the wests national forests oughta do it. People forget that we’re largely upwind.

And upstream, but that’s a whole other level of sabotage.

I just bought a big order from the South Island Pie Co. It’s an ex-pat Kiwi living in Edmonton that produces NZ-style meat pies. They are fucking awesome, and the crust is out of this world. Highly recommend.

Fuck I still hate them for the minidisc

In that guys defence, it’s pretty common to just have your torrent client on in the background doing its thing. He was likely unaware either until seeing the notice.
