Absolutely agree.

I’m just trying to stress that it’s important to have even the people we vehemently disagree with allied with us on the issue of sovereignty. The last thing we want is more MAGA like Danielle Smith or lil PP getting power.

Because whether we like it or not, someday the right will get in power. In BC we were incredibly close, and the federal polls are currently looking tight. So I want to encourage the pro-Canadian elements in our right flank even if I don’t prefer them to take power

“Our most challenging category to mitigate the threat of retaliatory tariffs is produce where in Canada, in the winter, we do not always have viable alternatives,”

I know it won’t happen overnight but let’s get some Mexican produce lined up for next winter. They are being hit by tariffs too.

And it’s also time for more hothouse produce. Stop exporting our energy to the enemy and use it here to feed ourselves.

Ugh sorry I’m still new to Lemmy.

Limiting subsidies to Tesla does not imply help to China.

My EV is Korean, and there are other great options from all over the world.

I really don’t want to give Loblaws the benefit of the doubt because they absolutely have not earned it.

But also, there’s a solid logic in telling people which items are affected and to explain why the prices went up. I want to know what items went up so I can avoid them — I try to check labels but having this is helpful not harmful.

I’m not going to pretend that Loblaws is doing this to help me, but I’m not going to fight it either.

They may be lying to you and themselves because it can be hard to accept that they were wrong. This is just an aspect of human behaviour. Perhaps in her mind she always had doubts about Comrade Spraytan but never expressed those because of partisanship, and so the pro-Trump messages she expressed before didn’t register as strongly to her as they did to you.

Memory is a weird thing, and we all have issues like this. For me, I remember now that Telsa has always been a shitty car company. However also I tried to convince my wife to buy one in 2018. So the part of my memory that remembers that I always knew their build quality sucked got muddled and overemphasized in my recollection even if it was always there. (Thank gourd I didn’t buy one)

You can still acknowledge the truth but spin it in a positive way. The most important thing is that now they are on our side, helping to defend and protect our country. I’d try to congratulate and support her journey, and contrast what she’s saying now what with she said then in a positive and supportive way.

We need more conservatives on our side, supporting Canada and not MAGA.

Check out “station eleven” — a show set in a post-apocalyptic world but isn’t like any show you’ve ever watched in any genre. Only one season long and doesn’t end on a cliffhanger or anything, just a nice contained story

Hell yes. Keep building until the prices go down.

We desperately need competition to ensure that the oligarch grocers don’t just use this as excuse to squeeze more profits from us.

Write your MP about strengthening the competition bureau today! Give em some real teeth, we deserve a competitive marketplace.

Because of the network effect, without a ban it’s extremely difficult to unseat an incumbent in the social media space.

Banning X and other American social media would drive Canadians to other platforms and help them thrive.
