Nobody wins in a trade war.

FT did the same thing.

There’s no poaching going on… just trying to be more attractive than China and Germany to academics fleeing the US.

For them, logic works both ways; they can persecute the academics and cut their funding to own the libs while also threaten war on Canada for stealing the same people.

I think FT will find that it’s not poaching; that’s just where the educators fleeing the US landed.

Canada’s not trying to woo US educators to Canada; they’re trying to be more attractive than Germany and China to those already leaving.

But as this trade war ramps up, we’re going to see an increase in this “Canada stealing our <insert thing here> rhetoric out of US media.

Replying to my own question:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quebecor

It’s owned by Quebecor Inc, a fully Canadian conglomerate traded on the TSX.

So if you aren’t sure about the trustworthiness of an independent paper, there’s at least one fully Canadian media conglomerate besides CBC.

Who owns Quebecor Media now?

That’s great that we’re getting a domestic payment processor.

Now when are we getting a domestic credit agency?

TransUnion, Experion and friends shouldn’t really be allowed to do business in Canada.

Not anymore….

Well, if Carney puts the same tariffs on US honey, that will be a pretty obvious switchover for a California-sized portion of honey.

Then find other global partners who would also like Canadian honey.

Also, Canada refines sugar, but the beets have traditionally been grown in the southern US.

So switch to refining honey instead of sugar beets? That would use up the entire supply rather quickly, even if it didn’t make quite as much profit.

They need to make it easy to let the system do double duty as an offroad vehicle vlogging platform.

There’s already an agreement with Canada about the Columbia River, that Trump just barely avoided totally messing up.

The problem is, the Columbia, despite the Arrow Lakes reservoirs, will eventually go the same way as the Colorado. For coastal states and provinces, viable desalination is very much the future, as is improved moisture capture for when global warming hits the point where water is dumped at volume where it precipitates at all.

And despite Alberta, Cascadia isn’t really an advantage for BC; Canada’s strength is in its diversity. And Canada’s entire population is about the same as California’s, so any democratic nation made out of California and other states and provinces… would leave everyone but California at a disadvantage.

If someone tried to buy Canada I’m sure Trump would try to personally get a cut.

**Who lives in the US.

It’s not IN Canada.

But this is what they voted for? Danielle “data centre” Smith?

OK Carney; I’ll look around my house and if I find any US alcohol, I’ll return it to the store.

My city already uses cameras as intersection sensors for signal operations, speed and red light; seems to me it would be relatively simple to “upgrade” these to also do ALPR and basic vehicle analysis. Some intersections even have webcams.

I’m sure they took it down so they could put it up somewhere the general public doesn’t expect it. I doubt it’s out of service; they cost too much for that.

I almost always vote Green or NDP, except when there’s a chance my riding will go Liberal instead of Conservative. I’d love to see how people would vote if we got rid of FPTP.

The city being North Vancouver.

The tricky bit there is that transportation to North Vancouver is from either West Vancouver (elite housing market) or via seabus from Vancouver. Any commute from an affordable city is going to take over an hour.

So you get people who have other sources of income working most of the minimum wage jobs, or people still living with their parents.
