If that's their number one issue, then I'm still looking for a new place to park my vote. The mirage of a potential sane alternative to the current government didn't last long...

I collected (and still have!) almost all of these when they were first issued and I still want this badly.

Just mind-boggling that this can happen in journalism in 2026. It takes 2 seconds and the teensiest bit of knowing what you're talking about to not make this mistake.

This is a digression from the thread, but one area where we are very different to both Europe and, presently, the US is in our attitude to immigration. Our embrace of newcomers is a huge strength and one area where we and Australia are more alike and different from our Anglosphere cousins.

As a British-born Canadian, I get that. However, I also spent years living in the UK as an adult and feeling very much an alien in an alien land. There are points of connection but we are very different too. Canada is unique (and fantastic!)

I also think that, as Canadians, we are historically conditioned to defining ourselves in opposition to Americans. That impulse is rocket-fueled right now and I think this may be less about saying how alike we are to Europeans than how unlike we are to Americans.

Interesting that Canada won it's first Olympic gold in Vancouver and won it's first World Cup game in Vancouver. We simply shouldn't let any national teams play in Toronto any more.
