What’s their reason excuse for that?

This is an American story. Psychological help is not an option there.

More to the point, it’s not an accessible option for most people in the USA.

Can I sell them some insurance) first?

God damn that’s fucking disgusting.

That’s a reasonable summary of the Trump administration in general.

I am very happy with the crown Corp car insurance we have in Manitoba.

I’m glad that the other daily in Winnipeg is Canadian owned and independent .

And is considered more trustworthy.

And has a bigger circulation.

It’s going up every month.

the former is far crazier.

And we’re only in the first chapter of this story…

Countries outside of the Western world and Asian neighbors have been siding with China over the US for a while now, probably due to all the invasions and coups.

And the targeted application of soft power.

A game which the US also used to play, but has recently decided to rapidly abandon.

They already have - having Nukes.

That only defends against a sane leadership with a military chain of command that isn’t compromised.

So what happens when the shelves at WalMart are empty?

Uneducated extremists are and will by far outbreed ideologically sane people

That sounds like the plot of a movie.

Canada has been increasingly a “branch plant economy” since the '50s.

Wealthy foreigners swoop in and buy up anything thwy can find.

That’s why so many of the foreign ownership rules were put in originally. Unfortunately, Harper (and other conservative governments) have weakened or eliminated a lot of those rules.

I’ll believe it when I see it.

And when the government isn’t afraid of the people, what then?

The longer it goes on the easier it becomes.

Retailers are following the money and seeking out more Canadian supply to put on their shelves.

Manufacturers are increasing their output, or are diverting supply fthat they previously sent south.

And regular folks are voting with their wallets and making new buying habits - habits that, once established, will need some impetus to break when/if the US regains its sanity.

Carney provided no indication that his leadership would be any different.

Getting to net zero is a major reoccurring theme in Carney’s book.

His proposal is to use regulatory frameworks to make it be in businesses best interests for them to choose to make better environmental choices.

I think it’s only the prairies that even have coal plants anymore?

Specifically Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Manitoba is also a “hydro powerhouse”. And is also an exporter of hydro to Ontario and the US.

then it’ll be easy to get pregnant

Whether you want to or not…

I hope they’re not as ridiculous as the Canadian Reform party was.
