“HSI special agents do not conduct operational activities in Canada, such as making arrests or executing search warrants," the spokesperson said.

Then there’s no reason for those fuckers to be here at all.

Why is BYD the only Chinese EV company that people talk about? There are other options that are just as good (and by many measures better).

We deserve better.

And of course PP wasn’t even a choice.

The thing about elections is, we have to make the best choice we can from the available options at that time.

And, given the options available during the last election, Carney was the more rational choice.

Were Layton still around, I suspect things might have been quite a bit different.

I think a lot of that is because the Americans are right there and they export a ton of American exceptionalism to us through their media. And have done since the earliest days of newspapers.

While the Cancon regulations were a level of protection from that overwhelmingpresence, they didn’t go far enough (IMHO)

I have long advocated for the cable TV foreign carriage regulations to require no more than 30% of international channels to be from any single country. That would have reduced the overwhelming impact that American “culture” has had on Canada.

Alas, with cable’s growing irrelevance, that opportunity is long gone.

I would hope that any company (especially ones with BYD’s documented history of violations) that sets up production in Canada is subject to a significant amount of scrutiny from the relevant enforcement agencies.

Of course anyone with the inclination to actually obey the law has been purged from the chain of command

When the billionaires make their pivot, and you can tell they’re already setting up the chess pieces for a post-Trump era

Vance is already Theil’s puppet. Has been since before he was nominated to run with Trump.

There is precedent for digging up a corpse to stand trial

Vance isn’t clever enough to manage that level of subterfuge.

But he is slimy enough to try.

Does your use of the acronym “CSA” match either of the examples I posted?

If not, what do you mean by “CSA”?

.

This is just me being annoyed that people use acronyms without defining their terms, assuming everyone else understands the abbreviation they used. It may be common where you are, but that isn’t always globally true.

I actually think Saskatchewan is really beautiful, if you find the right spots.

And at the right time of the year.

Y’all do CSAs up there?

Of course. We have a couple of CSAs.

Only to be replaced by someone even more sycophantic, evil and incompetent.

20 years ago when Scott Adams was still a moderately sane human.

and also fill the screen with pop up ads while you are at it

Like this!

AI testimony would be printed out and submitted to the court as evidence similar to data logs.

Or as information (which is a lower standard than evidence)

Not just less maintenance on roads and bridges, but also reduced need for building new and expanded roads and bridges.

As a Canadian, I would be fine with an EU based system that works globally.

In the end it’s americans who decide who leads them

And when those decisions are actively harmful to both them and me, I am absolutely justified in criticizing those bad choices.

or better still, just use a lot less of it.

Ultimately that would be the winning strategy.
