It says elected. He has no intention of having another election.

I am not a narcissist. I don't think I'm better or more important than anyone else. I don't think I'm the center of the universe.

I am however, an asshole. Knowing you are not the best or smartest, doesn't mean you can't be arrogant and insufferable.

3 months is fuck all.

The Crown asked for 10 years.

I keep seeing this talking point. Is it true?

Consider that Australia has a similar population, similar geographic issues and they have domestic auto production.

South Korea is only slightly larger than us in terms of population and has 3 domestic companies building cars. We could certainly do like Korea and export vehicles.

The only thing stopping us from having a Canadian domestic auto industry is the pervasive and false belief that we can't because we need to sell to the US.

We don't. We can sell to anyone willing to buy.

Edit: To add. My first new car was built by an independent plant that manufactured for multiple car companies.

Mine uses my hot water as a heat source to heat the house. I need to replace the pipe. It's too small and frosts over.

I'm in PP's riding. We're doing our part to turf him.

That's my answer too. I went a month with just trying to make basic things work. Had to go back to being productive. Now, I bought another drive and I spend time whenever I have it. Once everything works as i need it to, I'll switch full time.

It already can.

There are some places where an inability to pay fines, can result in a warrant and imprisonment.

8% now. 20 years ago, it was a third of that. If there is profit to be made, profit will be made. It's also just one small factor in an extremely shitty whole.

The fact prison labour exists at all is an issue. If prisoners truly benefited from it, like a fair wage plus every day reducing their sentence, then I could hold my nose, but as is. Slavery.

VMware is not on death row. VMware is already dead. It no longer exists. All that's left is an entity possessing its corpse.

My grandfather and uncle both served in my countries military, and I didn't know what else to do at the time. While yes, they are used in combat, the majority of what they do is not warfare.

During my time, we assisted in sandbagging villages from flooding, helped fight forest fires, protected civilians fleeing from a warlord, etc. I personally never participated in those missions, but it was part of why I signed up.

As I said, I don't always support how our military is used, but the need is real. And that, unfortunately, sometimes includes fighting.

That's some real US defaultism right there.

I'm not American.
