Yes, Interac debit is an alternative in many situations, and that's a Canadian company.

Deep down, he knows, and it torments him. Unfortunately he's rich enough to take it out on the world.

I don't know, most middle schoolers learn and grow out of it. MAGAs are not up to that level.

Bad guys are endorsing the bad guys. Don't vote for the bad guys.

"It is time to arrest those funding the attacks," he wrote. "Arresting their puppets and paid foot-soldiers won’t stop the violence."

How much funding does he think it takes to get people to protest against the world's most publicly obnoxious Nazi?

I'm not sure there has been a single documented case of a trans person causing trouble in a restroom. Assholes, by contrast, cause plenty of trouble.

We've been hoping for a patriotic hamberder to do its thing since 2016.

This pattern of behaviour is why no country will consider any agreement with the USA to be trustworthy ever again.

The disaster was that the immigration policy wasn't matched with any meaningful policy to create more housing at an affordable price. Immigration is something Canada continues to need, but on housing politicians are torn between the demands of those who can't afford housing and the demands of the corporations that build and own property, plus (to a lesser extent, because the gains aren't real) homeowners who want their property to keep increasing in value. And as usual corporate interests tend to win out.

But maybe there could be corporate pressure for Canada to do something about housing, if it helps other (non-housing) corporations attract skilled workers from the USA and elsewhere.

So there was a deal with Iran which Trump ripped up, and now he's threatening Iran with war if they don't make a deal with him like the one he ripped up?
