I have 5 excellent local breweries to choose from here in the Comox Valley, and an embarrassingly rich array of BC beer to choose from. I have a few California wines that truly like but wont be buying them any more. I have a lot of friends and family in that state who are appalled by the behavior of their president, but I will avoid sending my money to the US where I have alternatives.
Classic Trump. Create a problem so that he can “solve” it.
But Canadians are not ready to forgive and forget. Maybe ever.
We can do it the olde fashioned way, by not buying American booze. That is my plan.
right when they have the most leverage?!? the dastards!
the richest person in Parliament without ever having a job outside of government
but i keeping being told by youtube ads that Jagmeet Singh is snooty leech who likes fancy watches and getting paid? /s
As an American import to Canada I have seen first hand the destruction that conservatism celebrates as progress. Hopefully the utter gong show that is taking place to the south will open some eyes, but after the US election I have a hard time remaining positive. Most people want easy answers to complex problems. If those existed they would have already been implemented.
Could be good for Canada in the long run if educated workers, doctors, nurses, professors, researchers etc decide to move north.
I guess there are many more deeply racist and sexist people than I wish to believe.
This. I knew that there was a great deal of racism and misogyny in the USA but the extent of it is horrifying. Having lived almost my whole life there in various states, it still took me by surprise. I dont understand it and never will. Nor do I understand how people can fall for simplistic rhetoric and scapegoating. But clearly it works.
exactly. Houses in big cities are not expensive because they are better than houses in the bush. The house isnt worth shit, in fact burning it down might make the property more valuable. The land is what has value.
There will be no way to avoid it completely short of hiding in a cave all day. As for it being over… the results will most likely be known by days end, but since one side is committed to not accepting those results the next few weeks could be unprecedented.
What I learned from living in the US during the previous 2 elections :
There is no real upside to watching this closely. Like the comments on a Youtube video, for your own mental health just dont.
Ernest falsehoods left unchallenged risk being accepted as facts.
Vague hand-waving is not a solution to problems, it is lazy.
What spending should be cut? What regulations should be removed? What government programs should be shutdown?
Without some specifics there is not even anything to discuss in your comment.
The US has been engaged in that experiment for 50+yrs now. Still waiting for the trickling to start.
While I agree with you in principle, the Greens and NDP have far more in common than the Greens and Con or NDP and Con. In a ranked system the majority of votes would be NDP-Green-Con or Green-NDP-Con. I do not blame the Greens or NDP for going their own way, it is FPTP that is flawed and can easily lead to minority rule.
In my area the Greens and NDP split 62% of the vote and so the Conservative candidate won with 38%. A ranked choice or similar scheme would have provided a more realistic representation of the electorate.
Do you think that maybe, just maybe, it is the protection from communicable disease that people appreciate and not the corporation that produced it? I know it is a radical idea but I think it has some merit and worth investigating.
I did my part
All sensible people are questioning BC Conservative policies.
I bought a Butterball yesterday at my local YIG and it was $5.49/kg
Not the best price I have ever seen, but not terrible.
Kiss the Ring!
Bend the Knee!
Verb the Noun!
