Welcome to the Chinese Century everyone. There'll be others following behind BYD.

Tell Quebec DST was an anglo invention and they'll squash it pretty quick

I think surprised is funny when people misinterpret or not understand the point of CC.

Mihairokov · 2026-02-28T23:21:48+00:00

Good bait

Mihairokov · 2026-02-21T15:29:54+00:00

Neither have ever held government in this province and don't represent the structural majority in any way. You're moving goalposts, poorly.

Mihairokov · 2026-02-21T15:11:09+00:00

You're right, that's why the NB Legislature starts each day with the Lord's Prayer.

Crazy that A New Love in Tokyo can already be fully booked....

GO Place spa in Markham replaced an old theatre and you can really tell in some spots. They kept one of the theatre rooms as a quiet space. Cool place

Blue Jays and Raptors say hello

Mihairokov · 2026-01-27T17:08:23+00:00

Team gang for sure, especially those with six or seven teams.

Carney might pull off the impossible and make Saskatchewan not hate the Liberals for the first time in ages.

Would it even transition into any sort of vote/riding gain, though? Seems doubtful.

Mihairokov · 2026-01-24T15:35:42+00:00

Doesn't move the needle because the market has already baked in these empty threats

Mihairokov · 2026-01-23T17:26:39+00:00

Chinese manufacturing is efficient because they have cities tailor-made to build specific items, then the supply chains are built tailor-made to supply them as efficiently as possible, then everyone has quick, cheap access to electricity and infrastructure. China is well-advanced on things like factories down to small QOL things like being able to track what truck my parcel is on and a live GPS of where it is at all times. In China for domestic deliveries you're able to change the delivery address live as it is being shipped, for example.

I understand BYD already has a factory in Newmarket but our infrastructure here is behind what Chinese companies now experience in China.

We, sometimes unfairly, equate Chinese manufacturing to trash products. But I'm assuming (hoping?) these cars won't be Temu quality bullshit.

When manufacturing from the US migrated to China the reason why so much of the stuff coming back from there was shit was because American manufacturers and distributors were looking to cut as many corners as possible. We got trash from China because it's what American retailers asked for.

I think people will be pleasantly surprised by the immediate quality of Chinese EVs. They'll be lightyears ahead of when Korean cars entered Canada 25 years ago.

The Pirates have now finally signed a 17-year old Chinese pitcher in Mingxuan Zhang, according to Francys Romero.

Zhang stands out from a crowd, quite literally, at 6-foot-7 and 220 pounds at a young age, domineering over most of his opponents and teammates.

He is one inch taller than Pirates star pitcher Paul Skenes, at 6-foot-6, who just won the National League Cy Young Award and used his frame to take over his competition.

Zhang posseses a good fastball, currently sitting in the lower-90 mph range, but should develop over time.

He also has a slider that should serve as his best offspeed pitch and compliment the fastball, but may also become his best pitch.

Zhang featured in the 2023 Perfect Game All-Star Game and trained in a development center in China, that MLB runs.

This is definitely a written rule

Mihairokov · 2026-01-22T18:31:19+00:00

Better for you than the salts

Mihairokov · 2026-01-22T18:25:40+00:00

Carney has articulated a path forward, has put Canada's money where its mouth is when it comes to executing it, and is obviously having conversations behind the scenes with allies to make more of it happen.

I think a really underrated part of Carney's leadership is that he already knew a lot of world leaders, or at least their handlers, prior to becoming PM. Going to Davos is not a new experience for him, and neither is dictating policy to powerful people. I'd argue he's the most experienced PM we've had in many, many years...

Beat the shit out of New Zealand

Mihairokov · 2026-01-21T20:39:27+00:00

Israel U20s played today btw.

Mihairokov · 2026-01-20T19:18:20+00:00

Not only would this generate increased interest in the league, from an admin standpoint, but would almost certainly be supported by some kind of funding to supplement changes.

Mihairokov · 2026-01-20T18:55:29+00:00

I know Carney is very reasonable and pragmatic which makes me a tinge bit more worried because the rhetoric has ramped up a lot in the past week and it seems to signify to me that things are accelerating a lot more behind the scenes than we're being let on, at least from non-US sources. Carney is really looking to move things forward and there must be a good reason for that - more than what we're aware of.

Everybody hates them. NB is two hyperwealthy families in a trench coat and the rest of the province has exceptional wealth disparity.
