Dearche

I don't think it's an issue of his image, but of what he can personally benefit from it. He sees a sinking ship, so he's distancing himself from PP in the hopes of clinging to the other side in the hopes of getting some kickbacks.

Ford's far more slimey than you're giving him credit. It's obvious when you consider that he widely advertised the 25% energy surcharge, then backed off of it quietly when the US gave him some compliments and offered him a seat to a talk without a single promise, and he went around claiming he "did something" despite nothing coming out of it, all being paid for by taxpayers.

The surcharge would've been an easy win that even those of us that hate him would've openly cheered him for, only for him to prove that even his spine is made of slime.

We can make a consideration for any plan that has research to back them turning significant profits within five years, as it is doubtful that any such plans will be profitable 20 years down the line.

And of course, those profits will be taxed severely since we know any such plans will be quite disruptive to the environment, and none of these companies will clean up their own messes, so the government will have to do the job. Might as well force them to pay for it ahead of time, and maybe some extra on the side that'll go to critical public services like transit or healthcare.

Without such guarantees? F-them.

As long as Singh is running, I strongly doubt that the NDP will have any serious number of seats. It's unfortunate, but people don't trust that spineless flip-flopper and it'll be next to impossible to change such a reputation unless if something extraordinary happens.

All you gotta do is watch what PP says. After all, he hasn't said anything true in years from what I can tell.

Honestly, it doesn't matter if it's possible or not. The very fact that key replacement parts of the jet can only be built in the US means that the very moment they chose not to sell those parts to Canada, the F35 is on a strict time limit before becoming the world's most expensive paperweight.

And that time limit isn't even very long. Maybe two years of normal use outside of a war, as little as a month or two during a war or any sort of foreign deployment.

We're kinda locked in for the first few planes, but despite cancellation fees, we need to replace our aging fleet with something from someone that won't throw a tantrum and erase a key component of our national defense with the swipe of a pen.

This is the sort of thing that should be blasted on every Ontarian news channel. This is the guy that rural Ontarians voted for and said was doing a "good enough job".

People should know what the person they voted for is doing and how he's spending their tax money, because this entire trip was also paid for on our dime.

From a spineless coward to a traitor huh?

Not really a surprise, but still quite disappointing. We should be strengthening our stance, not folding like a wet towel. The fact that he's adding fabric softener and ironing in the meantime is is just plain pathetic.

Agree completely on the federalization, but disagree on actually joining the EU.

Frankly, we're not ready for it. Our industries and regulations have far more in common with the US than the EU, and we'll need a serious transition period to match their standards. While I do think in the long term such standards are a good thing, it would be economically damaging in the severe in the short term.

That said, I think the best would be to slowly match their regulations with the hope of joining the EU, without actually committing to it in the short term, but to close our relations with them in the meantime and leave the option open if it becomes more advantageous later on. Matching regulations with a fair and reliable trading partner always helps, not to mention that their regulations are far healthier and environmentally friendly.

I mean, if you listen to any of his speeches, he does nothing but blatantly lie constantly. The carbon tax, Carney's "hidden funds", his secret hidden tax plan, and countless attacks that are obviously lies if you actually looked into them for even a second. His entire scheme is to outdo the FSB's disinformation campaigns to the point that it feels like he's actually a recipient of Russia's #1 propogandist award.

It's real unfortunate, but bad actors like this will be dime-a-dozen for most of this year, especially when it comes to using Carney as the subject. And I fear no amount of warnings and corrections will make a serious dent on fixing it.

What should be done instead is flooding the internet with fake pictures of PP that are technically impossible, but so real that people can't distinguish them as being fake without examination. For example, having him shake hands with Hitler, or bumping shoulders with Bush Jr under the Mission Accomplished banner on the Enterprise.

Force people to become acutely aware that any picture, no matter how perfect and realistic, can be fake. Make them doubt their senses and think that there are so many fake pictures, it's actually less likely to find real pictures than fake ones on disinformation platforms like X.

China produces 300% of the existing market of EVs as it stands, and the government is trying to further increase production. The manufacturers have been found to dump finished EVs into fields by the hundreds to claim the government benefits.

Their actions are dumping in the literal sense, and is illegal when it comes to international trade, so there is no reason to withdraw such tariffs until they stop overproducing at the minimum.

Not to mention that Chinese EVs spontaneously combust for the most bizarre reasons and have caused countless problems, like the e-bike that spontaneously combusted in Toronto's subway due to it "not rated for cold weather," or the container ship that caught fire because of a Chinese EV started a runaway reaction inside of a container, or the countless videos of Chinese EVs catching fire while parked in China itself.

It's insane that major political figures are allowed to blatantly and knowingly lie without any repercussions.

Especially with modern technology, politicians should be corrected in real time whenever they regurgitate BS.
