VIA operates on CN tracks in the west, but that doesn’t negate the overall correctness of your statement.

They’re always late because they don’t own the infrastructure and have to take a back seat to their "landlord’s " schedule.

Gee, arrogant violent criminals want a get out of jail free card?

What a shocking and unprecedented turn of events.

If we can keep PP to a minority we can still limit the damage he can cause.

part of it is picking one that doesn’t drive me batty and taking some time to work with it

CAD and 3D modeling can look overwhelming for a beginner, but there are some tools that are pretty quick to pick up the basics of.

Tinkercad is probably the fastest for most people to get some basic results from.

Personally, I have been working on learning FreeCAD. The newest version is a major step forward in capability and the learning curve isn’t too steep - especially with some of the tutorials I’ve found on youtube.

Blender is it’s own beast - super powerful, but very different that anything else I’ve tries to use.

Go to any Canadian news website and search Danielle Smith.

She is Alberta’s premier (equivalent to a US governer).

That doesn’t really count on a citizenship application, though.

He is, but the same forces that are pushing project2025 and are puppetering Trump are also active in the CPC.

While much less embedded in Canada, the same forces that are pushing Project2025 in the US are also trying to do the same here in Canada. So far they’re not nearly as advanced, and they are still facing strong pushback on their regressive plan, but they are still trying. That shit is leaking over the border.

Fortunately, for now, Canada is nowhere near as far down that fascist path as the US is.

But if you’re trying to escape it, I would recommend against Alberta.

Also they’d have to learn celsius.

No properly educated engineer is unfamiliar with metric measurements.

I just feel like this gesture is symbolic at best.

Governments tend to take incremental measures when trying to get compliance from foreign actors. If you start with the “nuclear option”, you don’t have anywhere to escalate to if that doesn’t get the desired result, or if it causes some other unexpected negative results.

C) Trump has generally had poor relations with Canada.

Not much worse than he has with every even slightly progressive nation.

We just happen to be conveniently nearby.

I heard more demonizing from Trump in any one of his speeches than I heard from Harris and Wals combined during the entire campaign.

I’ll be voting ABC, as usual. Whoever else can show me a candidate that can beat the local Con candidate will get my vote.

At least if PP wins a minority that should limit the damage he can do, since the conservatives have a long tradition of not playing well with other parties.

and then he’ll fix the voting itself.

As in “the fix is in”?

the things that other countries have done with great success are all things we can implement in Canada

At least in parts of Canada.

I doubt high speed rail is a viable solution between Vancouver and Calgary.

Russians are not ethnically communist

Nor are they actually communist, despite claims they might have made to operating under that ideology.

You would hope that federal agencies would be the last to abandon using actual currency.

Firefox has an option called copy link without trackers

Thunderbird also does that . (Not surprising since it’s also a Mozilla project)

Not every adult has a driver’s licence.
