Of course not but it's important context for people who don't know why a good chunk of Cuban Americans vote Republican.
I don't think I understand the question. 😔
Issuing recalls - a sign of how big Anker has gotten.
A tragic story that should be added to piles of child tragedy in Palestine as well as the other affected countries from these conflicts. Speaking of Palestine, I can't see it mentioned at all on the front page of rferl.org.
Yeah, we should do both. Minimize the damage and reduce reliance. I think quitting cold turkey might lead to worse outcomes, including a possible reorientation towards the US under a prospective reactionary conservative government.
Picking a Zohran-like dem socialist leader would help with the recovery.
His mind was not changed.
The millions of Canadians suffering only works for a time. In the end people will vote away freedom in exchange for a piece of bread. This much has been proven by history. So in any plan that involves the suffering of millions, there has to be a portion that ends that suffering in as short time frame as possible. I'm not sure there is one at the moment. There are some concepts of a plan. I don't know if we can realistically do this for example without opening up trade with China and only relying on the EU as a replacement to the US. And right now we're taking a more or less China Bad stance. Perhaps this would change if we get fucked by Trump. Perhaps Carney is using this as a stick in negotiations. E.g. if you fuck us, we'll have no choice but to do China OK in order to take care of Canadians. Maybe the EU is enough, I don't know. I just know that the EU themselves are dependent on China in a few areas and we shouldn't be paying their profit margins to get the same stuff.
It fits, so ... it sits
I'm not sure if we'll replace him just yet. He has to show that he's tried all reasonable avenues and if he does and Trump still fucks us, then he comes out and says - I tried all I could, now we'll have to take these unprecedented steps to prevent economic meltdown. I think in such a scenario Canadians would rally behind him and consent to COVID-like economic supports among other things, even WWII style policies around prices controls, taxes and so on, depending on how bad things get. The other parties would also be forced to support him because it would look pretty bad if they stood against taking care of Canadians during an economic crisis.
Now I hear the angry noises here, and I'm pretty angry myself, but I'm hoping that this is one elbow down so we can get something for it, like keeping supply management. If we get fucked on all fronts then... Yeah. Fuck.
Apparently we have these along the Great Lakes (but not exclusively) already according to reports on etick.ca. Here's a pic:
Since not everyone reports tick bites, the numbers are probably a lot higher than what's on etick.ca.
It's nice to see that we no longer trust privatization as a the magic wand that solves public institution problems.
That said I think the 52% support for non-union gig work in Canada Post is indicative of the mindset that needs shifting if Canada is to change course in a way that makes most people better off long term.

Would they pay better than Starbucks? How hostile would they be to unions?
