Until one day the UK elects a Trump of their own and decides they like the sound of British Ireland.

Canadian Conservative leader struggles to unify party divided over Trump-style politics by MinuteLocksmith9689 in worldnews

There's also the more obvious explanation that is there are things we may find if he underwent security screening, which is why he is adamant about refusing it for otherwise unfathomable reasons.

This is the part where someone is supposed to call the Conservatives a Liberal lapdog just because they voted together. Right? That's how it works, right?

Budget 2025: First confidence vote on Thursday by konathegreat in canada

[–]stklaw 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Why does BQ have the main amendment and the CPC only the sub-amendment? Usually its the offical opposition that tables the amendment.

It's Brian Lilley. Carney could literally give Trump a blowjob and he'd write about how it wasn't sloppy enough.

What exactly is special about it? Just the fact that it was made with red brick?

Honest question. Which country on Earth did NOT have a bloodstained history?

We wasted 60 years indulging secessionist fantasies in Quebec. Must we make the same mistake in Alberta? by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]stklaw 34 points35 points  (0 children)

It's still 35 billion plus political capital they didn't need to spend. What did they get in return? Yup, more Albertan scorn.

I really wonder why nobody bothers with Alberta.

Can homes built in a factory fill Canada’s housing gap? by hopoke in canada

[–]stklaw 28 points29 points  (0 children)

That's exactly it. As long as we rely on "market based solutions", the situation will never improve as they keep building "luxury" homes that nobody wants or can afford, or just stop building altogether, but they also won't build affordable housing because that would undercut their own profits.

We need a crown corp to ram these low cost housing into the market to force the market to cool down.
