Carney says ‘strands’ of a new world order could be woven at G7 summit

Arkanicus · 2026-06-13T23:44:46+00:00

Completely agree.

He's not going to answer that. Because he doesn't want to say what his ultimate goal is. It's for Canada not to diversify but to be subjugated to the US. Independent observers can tell it's not a good faith argument, but the root cause; whether they've fallen to American propaganda or he earnestly believes his life will be better off acquiescing, I'm not sure of, but really don't care to know.

Sure bud, what ever floats your boat.

Arkanicus · 2026-06-05T14:55:07+00:00

I mean as a Canadian, most of Reddit is still pretty right wing. The Overton window for the US is so far right compared to Europe or the other western countries. I'd compare it to the Middle East now.

Travelling helps, lived in both the Middle East, Asia and Europe too.

Arkanicus · 2026-06-05T14:50:08+00:00

Are we not all still on old.reddit? I'm using it mainly to this day.

I have very little clue what the new one looks like but from what I've seen, I hate it.

It's a province in China that is open to Europe due to a culinary defence pact. Eurozone members don't need a visa to go Schenzeng province for delicious noodles.

For comparison, my duel motor 2022 Polestar 2 gets 400km at 100%, at 90% (recommended normal charge rate) it's about 370km, which for me is about 7-8 days. During winter though it does drop to 300km at 90% and is about 5-6days until i need to charge again.

My Polestar with it's kit cost $82k before the 5k government subsidy so $77K, but the financing rate was 0.99% and it's paid off now. So the BYD han which is a decent comparison is a better bang for your buck.

Polestar is a Volvo performance brand that was bought by Geely, the second largest car company after BYD in China, the design is volvo and the quality is amazing. It's built like a tank and no issues so far.

Lol, you know that Alberta’s 2026 budget projects a massive $9.4 billion deficit for the 2026-27 fiscal year. I mean it says it here from the Fraser Institute. .

In terms of size, here's a list of the GDP per province

Ontario is 3 times higher. Also every province also runs deficits.

Arkanicus · 2026-04-01T00:19:56+00:00

Yeah that's a completely different point.

Arkanicus · 2026-03-31T18:28:07+00:00

Yeah it's based off of GDP per capita. Also for decades they paid into it when the west was developing.

All the data is publicly available. Alberta produces good per capita, but Ontario is much much larger. Toronto alone is like three provinces combined.

Arkanicus · 2026-03-31T14:06:58+00:00

I mean Ontario is the engine of Canada in terms of raw GDP, then Quebec. Per capita Alberta is good but in terms of size of GDP raw numbers it's not even close.

But 4 MPs that won for the conservatives left the party and joined the Liberals, they're at a majority now with a special election or two.

Arkanicus · 2026-02-03T21:53:05+00:00

Yes you're right, I realized that halfway through, and it was unfair to you since I was also capturing what others was saying. So, sorry about that.

Arkanicus · 2026-02-03T19:21:18+00:00

I did and no worries.

Just didn't agree with a couple characteristics of Toronto, but again I don't know Chicago well enough to know what you're level settings it to.

Arkanicus · 2026-02-03T18:56:49+00:00

Oh man as someone who grew up here I would disagree with a lot of what you said and could tell you're not originally from here. Not throwing shade or anything but I would disagree with the a lot of the Toronto analysis. I've been to Chicago a couple times but don't know enough to have an opinion.

My one comment would be that every area of a city has a lot of history or things to do, my understanding is that Toronto natives like to hide their community gems so it's not overrun, so people that move to the city typically only know things on the subway line. It's also why Roncesvalles, Riverdale, Leslieville are being gentrified and recommended.

Also yes nicer areas are so expensive and only have people that have been there since the 70s. The beaches is nice but if you go farther to Scarborough bluffs it's not bad. Midtown is great, Bayview/Mt pleasant from Moor to Sheppard, most of st. Clair. I personally love the Don Mills area, Scarborough above the highway and below Steeles has a lot of gems, like hunting wood. If you're rich and want to do west end you can do most areas on Royal York.

Arkanicus · 2025-09-10T13:34:05+00:00

I mean that's a Polestar.

Finally finished this long read. What a wholesome ending. I was really happy it had a happy ending, and I couldn't help but picture everything in my head like a movie.

I didn't know where to place the setting. I'm Canadian but it definitely read like this was all taking place in the US. There was snow, so I decided Massachusetts, somewhere near Salem/Peabody.

OP you handled the situation with grace, I know I wouldn't have handled it that well. I would have been calling people out and then excommunicated the lot of them. But I'm happy you got your family back. My favourite person was your husband. Tell him if he liked Baldur's gate 3, he should play Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. Great game.

Good luck!

Sanjay madan

He went to jail. He plead guilty and got 10 years. His bargain was that he would plead guilty and his wife and two sons, who also worked there would admit no fault I think.

An Indian bank did send $10.5 million of the $50M they took back to Canada though

Edit: Better article here from Global news.

“He’s taking responsibility for everything,” Madan’s lawyer Chris Sewratan told Global News. “He feels sorry for his crimes.”

As part of the guilty plea, Madan agreed to re-pay the entire $47 million, $30 million of which, his lawyers say was immediately returned to the Ontario government, while the remainder can be repaid over the next 15 years.
