I don't mean anything, as I didn't write the headline.

Is there any chance at all that you read the article?

3G Capital is a global investment firm and holds a 32% stake in Restaurant Brands International.

According to this article, this has further declined to 26%, roughly equivalent to the collective Canadian ownership (which I did not know, and is why I shared it).

Oh yeah, I think "is their food any good" is an entirely different question. But I do think it's interesting to untangle the ownership structure.

I can only assume that our version will be called CORN.

"Cube" is a really fun sci-fi horror, and I was happy to see it on the list. Very low-budget, but one should never hold that against Canadian cinema.

They definitely took some liberties with the list, but it seems like a good jumping-off point.

They already have a system that watches the sea north of Australia

Okay, that makes sense, and it squares with the CBC article:

Carney acknowledged that the project is not new, but said the partnership with Australia will allow it to be built and deployed "as quickly as possible and as effectively as possible."

We're basically teaming up with an ally that has experience getting the job done. Sensible.

I've never seen the show, nor have I ever been tempted really, but it's good to see some home-grown television doing well enough to warrant a spinoff/sequel.

"There will be no taxes on Canadian consumers, no taxes on Canadian industries," Poilievre said on Monday at a news conference in L'Orignal, Ont.

At the same time, Poilievre said "provinces will continue to have the freedom to address" industrial emissions "how they like."

It seems almost laughably easy to use this to make him look weak and spineless?

Ultimately, they're probably better off avoiding poking the bear, and simply working to freeze the US out of the international scene moving forward.
