^ I wonder how he does that, being in the feds before like during Covid some people in private were going out of country down south to work remotely from different locales but in the public system the consensus was that the big preventative factor was that you computer equipment was not allowed to leave Canada, so nobody could do it. That senator must not even take his laptop or phone.

It's easy to work from anywhere when you simply don't fucking do anything.

^ I guess that's why we have to bring it home, so we can build the homes, so we can sell them homes, therefore we can get some dome. Send the hobos back home. Free Diddy Combs, trade Donald Trump some gnomes.

The only thing encouragng politically in Calgary is, well, at least in my neighbourhood there's a whole bunch of people with get Danielle Smith out messages on their lawns and if you drive through downtown on a look-see tour there's a lot of investment in the arts that has occurred and also some cool tech incubator buildings my gf has gone to which is, ironically, a result of work by Jason Kenney -- probably one of the few things he did right.

Love the big celebration downtown of the Islamic state taking control of Syria.

Another country bringing their fucking disaster of a mess to Canada. Fun

Celebration of the next kind of oppression and religious fanaticism.

Well, as we have learned from the USA, many people enjoy celebrating the erection of potentially fascist dictators.

We don't actually know where HTS stands in terms of governance. The fact that you call it IS is wrong. If you called them Al-Qaeda at least it makes some sense since the leader was ex-Al-Qaeda. I can see where Syrians or people who have ties to Syria can think this is worth celebrating if they have suffered through the last 50 years of the Assad regime.

Imo IS != Al-Qaeda.

Time will tell where things stand.

The guy that sold Canada to Chinese investment firms to keep us afloat during the US housing crisis? Why do you think our entire economy hinges on real estate now?

So Trudeau's visit to Mar-a-Lago was just a little vacay for him and his close circles.

For most of us our the biggest purchases (mortgage) is denominated in Canadian dollars.

Move your investments into US markets.

Winning!....for now

Don't worry Daniel Smith is going to his inauguration.

I wonder if US companies importing from China will get a duty rebate if they export the product to Canada.

lol we are getting straight fucking clowned on and Turd out there giggling

What an embarrassment.

Regardless of whatever you feel for PP or Turd, this is a pivotal, VERY important time for Canada, and we have a lame duck PM literally clinging to power, facing confidence votes non-stop, with jagmeet propping him up for what reason? At this point neither Turd nor Jagmeet have canadas best interest in mind, that’s clear.

Call an election, settle this shit, and have an established leader going forward to deal with Trump. Trump must fucking loveeeee the fact he knows he can basically do whatever he wants to Justin and get away with it because what recourse does he have? Trump is just waiting for him to leave
