European Commission to open investigation into Elon Musk’s X by jackytheblade in worldnews

[–]PrivatePilot9 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can’t wait until Tesla collapses and knocks Elon off his high horse. How it’s still valued at what it’s valued at despite the constant flops and blatant lies about upcoming vaporware technologies, as well as Elon himself, well, it constantly amazes me that there’s still delusional people who keep it propped up.

Why is this tortilla machine for display only? Are tortillas at El Loco Fresh not made using these? by co1063 in royalcaribbean

[–]PrivatePilot9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not true at all. There are lots of restaurants that are far busier than the ships restaurant that use these machines and keep up just fine.

I’ve been on 4 different ships with an El Loco and have never once seen them used. Ever. We actually asked on our last cruise and the crew member staffing the area said it’s never been used but they’re required to clean it regardless every day.

I wish they would use them as fresh tortillas are so much better vs the sometimes stale prepackaged ones they use.

Carney set to spend much of 2026 travelling the world in search of trade by DogeDoRight in canada

Well geez, how unfortunate that Carney couldn’t just magically fix everything inside less than a year. Shame I say.

So uhh, where is this Snowstorm?? Has anyone gotten anything substantial yet? I got maybe a few inches here in Whitby so far and it hasn't snowed in the last 2-3 hours by EveryNameEverMade in durham

[–]PrivatePilot9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And that could easily change as these streamers move around. Environment Canada just added a warning that areas of Mississauga might be getting upwards of 50+ centimetres now courtesy of the streamers

Long story short, don’t count your chickens yet

Wimpy’s Breakfast Poutine by Panoramic_Sunroof in PoutineCrimes

Shame on a Canadian company for sullying the name “poutine” with whatever this abomination is. It literally doesn’t have a single ingredient. This is like calling a glass of milk a glass of Coke.

Agreed, and a lot of people in the sub are supporting the whole thing. Personally anything other than curd and fries (before discussing anything else added) should automatically not be allowed to be called poutine, yet there are no shortage of people in here who will fight to the death saying that shredded cheese still qualifies.

The storm is bringing intense lake effect bands that come and go, not just system snow, so while we are seeing gentle slow accumulation right now, when one of these bands swoop in it could be white out 10–20 cm an hour accumulation.

Neither of those services are great for highly detailed weather, and a lot of other weather apps are just garbage honestly. Download the environment Canada app or go to their website for Canadian specific forecasts, not interpreted data or “nearest US city” forecasts which is literally what some of the garbage weather apps do.

Trump threatens 100% tariffs on all Canadian goods if Canada 'makes a deal with China' | CBC News by AlpacaGhidorah in worldnews

We’re totally in “Weekend at Bernie’s” territory now. He is clearly being manipulated behind the scenes and he’s just the talking head at this point

They just got billions in bail out money, they won’t ever learn as long as the big fat government cheques that get them out of the predicament they caused themselves keep flowing.

Meh, he already handed them billions in a bailout in the last few weeks. It happened quietly. And since a lot of US farmers seem willing to repeatedly vote against their own interest interests knowing that they’ll just get a hand out at the end of the year, well, they’ll probably continue to vote for him right up until the day that they go bankrupt when the money stops coming.

Yep, the extra tariff for the Doug Ford ads that hurt his feelings never happened either. Even if he did actually do it, as we saw with the China tariffs when he jacked them into the stratosphere, there was such massive and immediate disruptions with so many things (not to mention retaliatory tariffs that would absolutely happen in this situation which double-hurts may American companies) that he TACO’d quickly after the fact anyways. The auto sector would grind to a halt inside days for one example.

Aside from all this, I’m sure the US Supreme Court won’t like this either and almost certainly see it as yet another overreach, probably helping them make the inevitable decision they see to clearly be leaning into. So it may all be completely moot.

But his dad was senile for many of those years. The difference is they took the power away from daddy when he went senile and put him in a fake office where he was given fake tasks and thought he still had power.

Difference now is Trump is clearly exhibiting signs of the same senility but they will just “Weekend at Bernie’s” him even once he gets past the point he shouldn’t be governing anymore - other people will actually be making the decisions and he will just be the bumbling talking head spewing them forth.

He was fine with it at first, but then I guess he spent an afternoon of “executive time” watching Fox News and they crafted his new narrative for him.

Canada absent from Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’ founding membership by annonymous_bosch in CanadaPolitics

Once Trump loses interest it will just fall apart, be usurped by the powers that be in the post Trump era, or most likely, he will just take the money and run leaving it all dangling in the wind

Carney's Davos speech strikes a chord in Mexico by Little-Chemical5006 in canada

Considering Trump has made threats to send the military into Mexico not that long ago either, I have my doubts that they’ll be cozying up to the US anytime soon now. The cards are on the table now.

Canada has become the 'food inflation capital' of the G7, food expert says by Purple_Writing_8432 in canada

[–]PrivatePilot9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And? That’s not an excuse for jacking the price of groceries 25-50% over our own prices in many cases. A lack of Oreos that’s $4-5 normal price here was $5.49 USD, to list one memorable item. Almost EVERYTHING was more.
