I feel like there was a change in his demeanour in the last couple of years. It really showed up when he confronted that heckler on Parliament Hill. Not that the heckler didn’t deserve it, or more tbh, but it just felt out of character for Singh. I mean, it was the kind of thing I would do… I really started to think he was on his way out at that point.

I think he did a good job as the leader of the NDP, and given the fear (on the left) of the Conservatives winning and the resultant strategic voting, I don’t think many could have done a better job for the NDP in this election. He certainly used his third party prop power very effectively in the last few years.

I hope he can live in peace outside politics. He seems like a genuinely good dude.

I don’t think those brands are familiar enough yet to put up their logos without their names.

“anal bum cover for 400”

American football has become absolutely terrible. It feels like 50% ad time and the commentary is complete shit.

You can also put the dead key by the start button or some other designated place in the car to start it with RFID.

Yeah I’ve had mixed success with that on my Honda. I keep spare keyfob batteries around now.

Mic drop!

I was expecting a “yo’ mama”

Mmm boofing

Like Joe Rogan

This is devastating. I’m not in town right now, but I’m thinking of everyone. I hope you and yours are doing okay.

Was there an article link?

Y’all are so weird.

Damn you beat me to it. I found this by doing some image manipulation and using a font analyzer: https://www.whatfontis.com/ENVG_Upright-Retro-Inspired-Headline-Font.font

I’m pretty sure Shakespeare used it as slang for penis in the 16th century.

Edit: err yeah, says it in the linked Wikipedia article, oops

Guy brought a gun to the airport and then pulled it on police? “In distress” sounds like an understatement.

That all being said, it’s probably bad optics for Carney right now. It’s probably in his interest to delay this until after the election.

Absolutely. The Chinese ambassador pretty much said that too by saying that Carney’s current stance is a posture for election… Basically giving Carney room to flip the other way after the election without China holding a grudge. At least, that’s how I read it.

Yes, I absolutely think we should prioritize deals with the EU. I think this is the perfect time for it. I worry that it won’t be enough to make up for the US though and we’ll need other deals to make up the shortfall.

This really feels like a huge opportunity for Canada. But I don’t know enough on this to argue for making a deal with China - or against it. This is all just spit balling and I’m ready to be set straight!

I mean I know Carney has come out against China on a number of things, calling them a geopolitical and foreign interference threat. I think he also mentioned their human rights record in the past. Does that change if we increase or decrease trade with them? I genuinely don’t know. Can we exert more influence over China if we work with them? Can they do the same to us? The timing of this particular announcement is interesting. It seems like they find PP more desirable than Carney…

When you look at progress in tech, science and space, China really looks to have a lot of momentum and is poised to take over leadership in these areas. I would hate for Canada to be left in the dust because we hitched ourselves too tightly to a collapsing America.

Maybe we can make an automotive deal with China that helps our own industry? Diversifying away from the US seems interesting.

It would certainly piss off Trump if we made some big trade deals with China.

I dunno, yours worked for me.
