Wonder if some hardliners from CIA or such will decide to sort out this threat to their power, or will they just accept going down.

They kind of have to do something, if they don't they'll probably end up being "doged" for lack of accomplishments.

I'll admit I don't know much about him, especially being effectively relegated to assistant-vice-president, but I feel like he'd be a bit more stable foreign policy wise. Not necessarily better, but as a Canadian I think I'd sleep better with him as president than what we've got now.

Let's revisit this in exactly 4 years. I don't think there's anything that could make that statement sound reasonable between now and then.

As the article pointed out, your fellow countrymen were willing to exercise their 2nd amendment rights on beer because a trans person drank some. I'd argue this could be considered a slightly more consequential issue.

No one's blaming the people who voted against him, we're blaming the people who didn't.

Yeah, "hey, we figured you forgot to charge the 25% so we thought we'd be nice and do it for you".

The general opinion around the world is that your country has gone to shit. You're welcome to have your opinions but the rest of us are equally welcome to call you a moron.

I like the sound of 4th territory myself.

But in all seriousness they have way too many issues they would need to deal with first.

It doesn't make much sense to remove "Provincial Park" when there are so many specific variations when you go further down to regional, municipal, city, community, etc. parks and they have a bunch of very specific (and often unrelated) park categories. Here are a few that are near me:

  • Park
  • Ecological Park
  • Memorial Park
  • City Park (none of which are near a city, run by a city, or even a municipality)
  • Hiking Area
  • Playground

All the regional parks in my area have completely different labels, it's just the provincial parks that say "State Park".

That would make sense if we used English (US), but we use English (CA). Just a brief check of the parks in my area shows all the national parks are labeled "National Park", the provincial parks are almost all "State Park[s]" with the occasional "Park", and the regional parks have no consistent or logical pattern but I counted at least 5 different park labels.

I listened to an interview with someone high up at LD (can't remember their title) and it was quite interesting hearing the logistics. Certain products (like holiday decorations) get ordered over a year out so they're harder to switch out, but it sounds like most other stuff goes up for renewal around this time so we'll see more non-American stuff by late spring. I also found it interesting they were mentioning they're really interested in sourcing more from Japan (where there aren't Canadian options) since the Yen is so low and they make a lot of good, cool, quality stuff that historically was too expensive.
