Good.

Let him stick to that line, keeping Canadians angry and trade negotiations stalled. He's helping us maintain the momentum needed to build a stronger Canada and end reliance on U.S. trade for good. When he and his ilk are all eventually deposed, the U.S. will have to make many concessions to get (partially) back into our good graces. If that doesn't happen, our need for political separation will only increase.

No deal is the best deal.

The main thing we'd lose is the autonomy to manage our own economy. Given that's something we've handled especially well resulting in impressive economic stability in spite of global events, it's not a thing to be sacrificed lightly - or at all.

The main benefit of joining the Eurozone is tight economic integration that lets member nations share the larger group's economic stability. That benefit is never going to substantively materialize for a nation physically separated by an ocean. But we'd still be losing the right to decide how many power coupons we print, directly regulate our own banks, and set interest rates/inflation targets.

I'm open to other forms of EU association, but the Eurozone is a solid hell no.

Any reporter who's inclined to ask tough questions and actually given a chance has about three hundred others that hit closer to home for their own electorate. They'll be lucky if they can ask two, and know they're not getting an actual answer anyway.

Henson safety razor. It's the only product I ever purchased based on sponsored recommendations, and I actually didn't regret it. It's hard to clog, easy to clean, and the minimalist design compared to other safety razors helps with tight spaces. The handle's grip pattern works better than you'd think too, without scraping flesh.

After using it for about a year, my partner (who uses razors a lot more and has really sensitive and fragile skin) finally worked up the nerve to try it. Now we have two.

To be clear though, it is a luxury product. You can get a quality safety razor that works just fine for half the price, easily. I probably still wouldn't have grabbed one myself, if it weren't a Canadian product. You can go for the titanium version if you're an utter financial masochist.

Even better. It's an aggregation of links to aggregated links, posted on a link aggregator.

Ah, but who curates the curators. 😛

It's just another example of Canada letting the U.S. dictate our IP laws to their media moguls' benefit, for the sake of trade. These are the things Dumpster does not count in the balance of a deal yet presumes is entrenched even after reneging on that deal.

If the deal is ripped up, it should be ripped up entirely.

We're being gifted more freedom to make sure our own laws are working for us.

I'll take homelessness over being conquered, thank you just the same.

Man, he's really hitting the ground running, and every step is fire. A couple weeks ago I was begging for Canada's leadership to shut down U.S. negotiations until Dumpster acknowledged our sovereignty and repudiated his threats against it. And Trudeau was handling things pretty well, but no way he'd go that far.

Carney did it in on day 2. ✊

I think we might have found the only leader in the Western world that can outpace the orange clown.

Addendum: I first broached that "demand acknowledgement" move over a month ago.

I sympathize with Newfoundlanders, but running more efficient operations at scale is how we increase our national productivity. I think the answer is to figure out how to make that work both ways and also to repurpose the labor that's made redundant.

I'd wager Newfoundland will remain the primary market for their own unique alcohol products, and won't they additionally be able to grow their interprovincial sales? That won't cover all the losses, but Canada also needs a lot of stuff that Canada does not produce and no longer wants to buy from the U.S. That represents opportunity.

Maybe, but we can't be sure until they call their rivals sodomists.

If you nip it in the bud, no one has to do any butt stuff. 😉

We're about one year into a constant deluge of off-season CPC-sponsored attack ads everywhere.

Well, apparently.

I need to go give the team behind uBlock Origin a hug, or a beer.
