@UnfortunateHKY@cselley Why cheer U-S-A when it is a match-up between two clubs? I guess the absurdity of it removes any weight its meaning could have had?
@Exiled_Canadian@sunlorrie The MPs *were* elected already. If there are power-hungry bad actors in the floor-crossing ranks then let's hear the commentary on them specifically. The system works this way... What about the party bleeding MPs?
@gator_gum MPs are tied to the objectives of a party enough. I think it is okay that MPs have the freedom to change their association... to an extent. It is now up to the MP to communicate and justify benefits to their constituents -- all that work is their burden.
@ronmortgageguy Carney's a business dude like you, so look at it with that context. Pierre is not a "leader" in any way I can see, so maybe that's catching up. Also, kind of extraordinary times. And MPs should have freedom of movement.
@profstonge@danielfoch Convenient for various reasons. US has a big market, Canadians are attractive in that we are educated/trained, opportunities arise, culturally adjacent (not symmetrical tho). Canadians are big passport holders, comfortable being elsewhere for travel or work. Fairly routine stat.
@ronmortgageguy What does "woke" mean... In the Canadian context, the context of the NDP, as I sit here on my arse... What is the meaning of this term? A simple and effective (to a group with made minds) pejorative?
@mattgurney Define "crushed." An initial attack? Probably. Ally attacking another is a unique situation. Over time, not sure. If Europe and allies want Grnlnd, they may do so through a unified and strategic response. Unified and strategic aren't really USA specialties at the moment.
@ronmortgageguy@BenWoodfinden He's subservient to the Rogen manosphere in this context... Poilievre is basically on his grand tour because of nothing much to lose. I can't imagine he'd hold any relational power in Rogen's studio to speak well on our country's interests. He's on the conveyor of prop guests...
@BenMulroney Nothing is 'free,' ya dope. Overly simplistic, Christ... It is about access. Ease of access for the most amount of people. Why is that bothersome?
@littlered_ace Go to the Gem app. Jesus, the level of media literacy... Would you prefer to be fed only by corporate interests? Go to the app and choose your stream. A wee bit of freedom of choice people refuse to accept sometimes...
