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.

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.

Deliberately threatening the cohort of people most likely to consider buying your vehicles isn't exactly a winning strategy. Elon asking 'how do I woo Tesla buyers back?' is like the Governor of California asking 'How do we woo Canadian tourists back?'

You don't. It's like asking 'how big does the bribe have to be for you to sacrifice your every principle?' You can't. There is no argument you can make that isn't fundamentally offensive on its face. That market is gone forever.

We were kinda just hoping that you'd build (and pay) for it.

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.

Paula White needs to STFU and get back in the kitchen.
