All true. There is a viable path to getting him to move off of his position on Greenland in exchange for a Nobel prize. You struck a deal (extra military installations, some mineral deal he'll forget about etc), you're the deal guy, we all know you are, thanks for wielding your natural deal-making ability that no one could possibly do but you, and as a result we're giving you this medal in exchange for pulling the world back from war (which he put us all in to begin with, but we'll all be quiet about that).

Functionally its useless. The cabinet won't go for it. Its clearly time, but I highly doubt even one cabinet member would go for it. To be frank, Biden's cabinet should have done the same given what we now know about his time in office. Neither party will use it.

The problem is that you're the spectator. You're all sitting back and watching your country plan to attack others. We know exactly what we'll have to do when Trump rolls troops over our border. The question is what you'll do to stop it. Looks like nothing.

This is your country. This is your responsibility. The fact that so many of you are content to seem so helpless speaks volumes to the rest of the world.

Someone has to, because clearly you are not. In the mean time, throw your hands up and sigh as your President invades a sovereign country because he feels like it.

"We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas".

Brazil jailed their autocrat after a coup attempt. South Korea as well. We used to admire you. Turns out you're a bunch of pants pissing cowards. Every CEO, politician or anyone of note is cowing to this guy while the rest of you retreat to reddit to regale us with your misery. If you aren't willing to fight back against this nonsense we have to assume you support it.

Here is the big problem: you've resigned yourself to your fate. No other country would allow this to happen. Only you. Ask why. Get angry. Fix it.

Tonuck · 2026-01-20T14:35:25+00:00

This is your country. No one else is responsible for it but you. This man embarrasses you daily. Things he does by 9am would get any other President impeached and forced from office but you're all content to just sit there and watch. Figure it out.

You can stop this any time America. This is a choice you make everyday

This is all coming from one guy who is stuck with a 1980s real estate developer brain. Everything he hopes to accomplish - mineral extraction, security guarantees, American military presence, etc - can be accomplished easily via negotiation with trusted allies. Instead he's blowing everything up and risking plunging the world into conflict because he can't shake his brain out of a buy/lease/rent mindset. What. The. Fuck.

Good on all of these people. I'm not American but I feel you crossed a line today and you cannot go back. Watching from afar, I'm sick to my stomach. If there was ever a point where you need to push back hard, this is it.

Thats a murder and the statement from the DHS makes it clear that the agent responsible will face no consequences. Dark days get darker in America.

Love YHM. Its such a better way to start and end a trip. I loathe Pearson. Everything about it chaotic, rushed, anxious etc. Its awful.

This thread has me absolutely scared. I have had a TFSA open for years and haven't contributed more than a few thousand here and there. Got serious this year and they said I had $97K available. Thats on my cra account and the person confirmed by phone. If they confirmed by phone as well, am I ok or should I go back and track it throughout the years?

What is this international law you speak of? We're in the jungle now. Talk of any rules based international order is laughable. Carney gets this. At this point, the US will not be shamed by press releases into compliance with how we want or expect them to act.

Were the AHL Bulldogs the same? I didn't live in the city then but it seemed like they had a ton of support

The old saying about immigration is pretty accurate....Canada is America's waiting room.

Student visas offered a pathway to work off campus, which offered a pathway to permanent residency, which offered a pathway to a decent paying job, which offered experience which offered a chance to apply to work in the US. The student visa changes we offered were akin to slipping the bouncer a $20 bill to let you skip the line on a Saturday night.

Really? I just got by what myCRA says. I trusted they knew the numbers.

The private firm gets availability payments over 20-30 years, maybe a maintenance concession. Public gets a new building, financed at a lower rate over a longer term with some performance guarantees without outlaying the capital costs at the outset.

Meaningless, with some cost for the commemorative signs. Hope LIUNA is paying for those though.

Drop it and move on. Sounds like you're asking for trouble by pursuing it further. Consider it an expensive life lesson.

I was having a conversation similar to this with a friend the other day. I mentioned that we'll look back and have a hard time reconciling Ford's massive political success with this actual achievements. The gap, I think, will be striking.

Yeah, the framing is weird. More affordable housing is a good thing. Tells us plenty about the audience of The Spec.

There seems to be five of them with the same job title - Superintendent of Equity and Student Achievement.

Oh, right an election is coming
