Trump’s truculence has infuriated Canadians
That is a 100% new word to me. 😐
trumpulence
Me too! And a perfect description :)
Why 😐?
Congratulations on learning a new word.
…today i told a coworker that i was listening to the transformers soundtrack because transformers rule and i also have a huge transformers collection because transformers totally rule, and he sent me that emoji in response…
Thanks!
I wanted a wide-eyed closed-mouth emoji, lol. After viewing on firefox mobile, however, it looks unintentionally aloof.
Seriously? You’re shaming someone for learning a new word?
I can see how it looks that way, but I think Candletiger was sincere.
I was sincere about the congratulations but only offered them because I thought you were complaining that the news shouldn’t use fancy words. lol.
I’m glad we were all able to talk this out.
My vocabulary is embiggened.
I’m happy for you Canada.
You succeeded where America couldn’t.
Are y’all accepting asylum for programmers / tech professionals?
Asylum, not yet. There’s still a treaty on the books recognising America as equivalently safe. Presumably it will get rolled back soon.
If you’re serious, I can send you to the points quiz for economic immigrants.
What happens when a ‘safe third country’ starts adopting extractionary systems left behind by colonial empires that have, in part, held back third world economies for decades? Keep an eye on America to find out!
I’m sure America’s substantial purchasing power will help prevent the rot from spreading within. Right? Right?!
I’d very much appreciate any correspondence you have on the matter. Thank you!
It’s actually gotten really complicated lately, sorry about that. Here’s the quiz for express entry: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/check-score.html
Generally speaking, the highest-scoring applicants get in first. If that fails, maybe there’s some niche provincial program or something, but you’ll probably need to hire an immigration lawyer to have a chance of figuring it out. Here’s a link I found on the other options.
If you do get let in, I recommend driving up in an RV. The housing market in Canada is still really fucked, and that’s a decent fallback option. Winter-safe ones exist, but I also see people building little insulated enclosures, and if you can manage to afford BC it’s not much of an issue there anyway.
“Build, baby, build” is something Carney has pledged to do. I would like to see the return of government built housing for low income families. These were not “slums”. They were built for hard working people that didn’t enjoy high incomes. My son-in-law’s mother was lucky enough to get a unit in one of these places. It’s a well run place for retirees on a fixed income, and rent is based on income. New buildings won’t mean anything if the wealthy are building and running them (and charging rents). Send a respectful letter to your new government pointing this out!
Honestly, slums themselves meet that description. People who don’t need them just dislike having to look at or think about them, which is hella elitist.

You know, the actual quantitative evidence is pretty strong that particular market is competitive. If anything, being a landlord is a relatively bad investment of a million dollars. I fully expect that if the NIMBYs don’t derail it, more supply will end the problem.
If you’re serious, start looking for companies hiring up here. As I understand it’s not easy, even for economic class immigrants, but I work in tech and I work with many immigrants (albeit not usually from the US, but it’s a different world now). Mind you - please look carefully into the financial impacts as it is a change from the US. Salaries are lower and taxes generally higher, which may or may not be offset in your context in other ways (healthcare a big one, income tax deductions, etc.) But many people, myself included, prefer Canada regardless of the reduced compensation. It’s not always about money.

Carney should send a thank you note to Trump for helping him win the election
Meirdas Touch once again. The orange shit stain backs a Con and all voters take that as a sign that the person is a piece of shit and votes opposite.
Sometimes it works nicely.
Top Poilievre defense he did use a lot of Trump’s talking points and techniques. Branding himself as Trump light.
Temu Trump
He showed who he was, and people believed him, as they should.
As a dumbass American… Go Canada! Fuck yeah good work!
yes, it is so relieving that this right wing populist trend seems to be failing in our closest neighbor. Hopefully the failure of this administration will wake a lot more places up, and create a greater push back against this trend to the far right.
Let’s hope they are more effective opposition than the Democrats.
Hopefully Britain follows Canadas footsteps (as we might vote in wish trump)
What elections are coming up in the UK? I thought Starmer won a majority just last year.
no, but local elections are
You do your local elections all at once?
Please, he’s Pound-Stretcher Trump. Not even Poundland would stock him.
NDP and Conservative leaders lost their own ridings.
NDP leader already announced he’s stepping down and I feel like the conservative has to as well.
HitlerPig is his own worst enemy, but nobody tell him.
The cherry on top:
Little PP got his ass kicked. I love it !
I don’t know how it works there. Was Pierre running in two races?
Would there have a special election for this seat if he had won both?
What are the odds he loses support and goes quiet after losing both, especially his backup incumbent election? (Knowing hard losses used to discourage people, but not always now)
Prime Minister is similar to Speaker of the House- everyone gets elected in their district and then the majority party (or in the case of a
functional democracymulti-party system, a coalition of parties that add up to 51% of the elected officials) picks their own Speaker/Prime Minister without further input from the public. In practice, if you’re already the party leader then you’re sure (95%~) to be the prime minister after your party wins/gets the biggest share in the electionNo one actually “runs for Prime Minister”. The Prime Minister is simply the leader of the governing party. That is determined by the number of seats each party wins. The PM is almost always an elected MP, but as demonstrated for the past few weeks they don’t have to be.
Thank you! I understand now.
Trump. MCGA, making Canada great again! Ironically.
Make Canada 320x200 with 256 colours again!
Canada should give Trump the Order of Canada for unifying the country. Do it.
Felons aren’t allowed in Canada
Having a criminal history would likely make him ineligible.
There’s no outright rule against it but several people have been removed from the order for committing crimes.
Fuck you Buffy. Another american scumbag.
yes!!
