Easy for you to say. In BC, Canada some buildings like hospitals have signs in Silax, the language of the local Nsyilxcn people.

I'm also an NDP voter that voted LPC over CPC. I knew we wouldn't get Value(s) Carney, but I do believe that if anyone is going to shift capitalism in a better direction it would be him.

As a former bouncer I completely disagree that silence is a sign of weakness or subservience. That's just good tact. Never argue with an idiot, they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Elbows Up doesn't mean you should draw a penalty. You're supposed to hit them hard and get away with it.

As far as the DST. I find it interesting that a tax we never collected is being framed as a loss we deserve compensation for.

A month ago I thought bills C-2 & C-5 were overreach, and their lack of oversight definitely is... I wrote several letters to that effect. But given the continuation of Trumps annexation rhetoric, I now recognize those bills were designed for a political environment that is still burgeoning.

Based on Trumps usage of ICE I believe it's inevitable that the USA will use domestic crossings to affect some form of hybrid war against Canada. Russia & China will certainly occupy northern Canada if we don't rapidly expand our national infrastructure.

These threats, I believe, do justify deprioritizing environmental concerns, to a degree.

I think the silver lining is that Carney's energy expansion in to oil/gas is not mutually exclusive with expanding renewable energy.

I also sold mortgages for a short time and saw the industry change more in 24 months than 24 years. I agree that the least harmful economic solution to housing is to freeze housing prices where they are until cost of living and supply normalize. The alternative of housing prices drop would have a net negative effect. The CMHC in 2014 & 15 made major changes to reduce Canadian borrowing power to avoid a post mortgage crisis of mass defaults like what we saw in the USA.

I think the world is too volatile right now to expect concrete plans that aren't heavily hedged. Carney is playing the game correctly by holding Canada's cards close and not telling his bluffs.

Nah all good. I don't think my bro is full on fascist. I asked him directly and he acted incredulous. He's always gotten off on the being different kick; albeit out of spite. We were raised in a proto-maga church environment. Now that he perceives Christianity as anti-establishment he's got the koolaid on iv.

Him and my sister are how I know MAGAs don't listen to trump, or engage anything for that matter, directly. They've all been conditioned by their church pastor to get their opinions from someone else. That's why we're seeing this phenomenon of MAGAs waiting for their opinion on every breaking story. They don't seek knowledge, or do a single ounce of fact checking.

Some people will only learn the hard way, if that.

You do. But afaik that's just cuz pickling cucumbers are different than salad cucumbers. Personally I find the difference negligible, but pickle connoisseurs will likely disagree.

Thanks for the suggestion! My buddy farms quail!

I reeally want to try pickled eggs but years of watching the Simpsons have me thinking about the nasty jar of eggs in Moe's tavern.

One day I'll get over it.

Making your own pickles is surprisingly easy FYI!

Plus once you have a pickle jar you can just add more cucumbers so you never run out!

This entire paragraph is an appeal to authority that doesn't even engage the subject at hand.
