Surrenders to the US, or to the demands of Canadian billionaires and corporations? We have our own oligarch and monopolist issues, they're just slightly quieter about it. At least we have fewer religious nutbars, but they do try.

CEOs gotta CEO. I don't necessarily trust the solution just by virtue of the source type. Anyone with some real world knowledge have an analysis of the validity of the solution?

Doesn't mean it doesn't have a right wing bias and agenda, though. I haven't read thd Star in decades, so I don't know. Just pointing out the (probably) painfully obvious (because I have a tendency to do that).

That's an excellent point. Where the heck do people mingle nowadays?

Who actually wrote this bill? Was this some lobby/thinktank/special interest group that fed it through to the government? I'm getting tired of not knowing who's behind all this crap, and it keeps having a similar smell.

If anyone on the team hasn't completed the training successfully, the entire team can't play.

technically, the Canadian dipthong is A as in father into U as in put, while the American one is A as in Dad into the E in the. To an American, it sounds closer to oo because of that, but oo is too rounded and tongue too raised. (I'd use the phonetic alphabet for more precision, but I don't have it installed on this phone)

I'm not sure I would call them quiet about it.

In a survey of Canadians under 35, 100% of the ones I asked recognized the trade war affects cost of living. They also asked me, "When was this election ever about restoring hope for young Canadians? Where did you hear that?"

I'm not confident the average adult will ever realize it. It's a horrible thought to me, but for the average US lower- or middle-class worker drone, how much would their actual daily life change?

Thanks. I've picked up a copy and will read it this week.

Before I spend time digging into it, does anyone know who thd main sources of funding are, and the backgrounds of the decision makers, for the Leaders' Debates Commission? (I don't follow debates, so I've never paid much attention to that, but I am now working to map out funding and influence networks in our country)
