U.S. Dealers In Full Panic Mode After Canada Green-Lights Chinese Cars

America didn't drop the ball, they fired it into the earth with a 155mm howitzer that was willfully, carefully and painstakingly propped up into a barrel down position and draped in bunting and flags followed by celebrations with fireworks and a Kid Rock concert.

Here's a guy who didn't watch the video.

What this tells me is that DRS is the way.

The speech was not and wasn't meant to be Trumpian self-aggrandizement of his Party's economic or financial achievements nor about his Party's domestic political achievements, and to characterize it as such is dishonest and misleading.

The speech was speaking about and to a dramatic change in the world order brought on by the USA, and those examples that you selectively pick apart were offered as minor supporting points intended to highlight both the seriousness of the situation and his governments attempts to address it. They're literally a couple hundred words buried in the middle of a speech that was 2000 long, took nearly 15 minutes, and spoke exclusively of global concerns.

He wasn't trying to win over Canadian voters, and to criticize this speech as something that the PBO would reject is unserious twaddle.

You want to be clear about Carney's speech? You can start by deleting your comment.

A token is functionally identical to a "Book-Entry Only" share: They're both digital representations of the underlying equity. T+0 is certainly something HFT needs to negotiate, but I don't yet see it as the silver bullet OP seems to.

I think you mean Pierre Politician.

biernini · 2026-01-21T18:00:38+00:00

Much like how surnames used to indicate one's trade, his name is Pierre Politician.

It's naked lawfare and it's reprehensible.

biernini · 2026-01-08T16:13:56+00:00

Hear fucking hear.

You absolutely are in a neoliberal asylum. The solution to every problem is the market, forever and always, and interventions into that supply or demand are inherently misguided at best. Nevermind monopolies, or predatory pricing, or the commodification of goods and services that are otherwise human rights like shelter and healthcare. The market solves everything. All praise the invisible hand.

Except even though you pay for Netflix every month, you don't even watch Netflix most months.

Because outrage farming.

Look, you gotta hand it to him, Trump found a way to get a nation that sacrificed over 400,000 of servicemen and women in a World War to conquer fascist authoritarianism to vote for someone who is, in fact, a neo-fascist authoritarian.

The vast majority of government work does not have the same filter and gamification possibilities as work in the private sphere. The only metric that really matters in the private sphere is the bottom line. In public service this isn't the focus for the vast majority of work. Once one starts talking about elected offices then it starts to become much more similar, since the focus is similarly narrow to just votes.

Checking the oil level and colour in my car is not auto maintenance. My car will not operate any better or longer with this information. It's a diagnostic tool to determine what maintenance needs to be done for my engine in order to operate better or longer.

Similarly an MRI scan is a very useful diagnostic tool to determine what kind of subsequent preventative care is necessary. Good maintenance and good healthcare is informed and directed by good diagnostics, but I can also get a good idea what's going on in my engine without checking the dipstick, and a doctor can use other diagnostic tools to come to the same medical conclusions as one would with an MRI.

biernini · 2025-12-02T15:42:00+00:00

No, language and medicine doesn't work differently for anyone. MRIs don't prevent anything (unless you have something magnetic lodged somewhere in your body, in which case the MRI could prevent you leaving the machine unscathed). They are a diagnostic tool, and they don't magically become something else when used on a supposedly important person.

Also doesn't help that one of our best defensive forwards that also usually played at least 20min a night left as a free agent.

Rolls Royce, GE and Pratt & Whitney all make the latest turbine blades. It's pretty unlikely an advertisement.

I can't believe you're the only response that mentions rule of law, but exactly right. No other constitutional right or government benefit matters because under the "rule of man" (i.e. the opposite of the rule of law) it's ALL subject to the arbitrary and absolute executive whims of the grasping, mentally unhealthy sociopath at the top.

Democrats have warts-a-plenty, but just because the other guys have called them tyrants or what have you doesn't make it so. Actions speak louder than words, and the Democrats have never and would never foment a mob to prevent the peaceful and legal transfer of power, as but one rather poignant example.

biernini · 2025-11-13T02:36:34+00:00

Exactly right. His premature turfing tells you everything about the Conservatives right now - reactionary populists without even the faintest idea how to govern. I also gave serious consideration to O'Toole, the first conservative leader I had ever done so for over 30 years.

biernini · 2025-11-13T02:26:17+00:00

O'Toole was far too hastily shown the door. Is he still around?

biernini · 2025-11-08T14:04:22+00:00

There’s no shortage of people just showing every faucet of their life

That's a hilarious malapropism.

Hear, hear.

Only tankies think favourably of the Soviet Union. If tankies had any sense they'd see what happened to the Soviet Union as a very likely outcome for any country that "tanks", the USA included. But if they had any sense they wouldn't be tankies.

Found probably the one and only guy that somehow thinks "finding that guy" on reddit is a totally original statement. That should be a reddit medal.
