THANK YOU! I would not put it past Trump to do that, but I'd prefer a news source, not a meme.

My that's an old picture, Margaret Agatha (Maggie Aggie) now has a sister named Clover Beatrice (Clover bee)

I know I'm more mechanically inclined than most, and we all have cell phones to call for help (which i'd already done) but in a small town, I'm used to people checking in at least. (It was just the starter, we bomb-started it and got it home) 2/2

Times have certainly changed. I broke down at the recycling depot the other day. I was parked for like twenty minutes with the hood up and not one person asked if I was ok, if I had help coming, if I needed a jump... Nothing. It was strange. 1/2

Apparently, it's not just BMWs that park like assholes... Mercedes drivers do it too! I want to note that this parking lot has no official motorcycle parking, and there are two empty spaces beside my motorcycle they could have easily parked in.

Does anyone know why the fuck Stockwell Day has triple parentheses around his name? I know it's generally used as an anti-Semitic indicator that somebody is jewish, but he's not jewish (went to Bible college and worked as an asst. pastor) , and why is he using it on himself?

While I completely understand your point, my experience is that the barrier to multifamily homes is that they have to be built to a higher standard because of safety, and I don't want to lower the bar in that regard.

I've been saying for years that no politician will ever win on a platform of actually making housing affordable, and this is why
Someone from a pulpit asks "who wants more housing"
everyone in the crowd raises their hands 

Then he asks "who wants property values to go down" and everyone looks sheepishly at their feet

Supply managed prices cannot always compete with subsidized prices. But, Canadian eggs didn't quadruple in price in the last year, either, so I'm glad we have supply management and that we protect it in our trade deals

Dairy is a complicated issue. The US has agriculture subsidies, where as Canada has supply management. Subsidies are meant to help farmers in tough times, and keep prices low. Supply management is meant to ensure we always have food, and farmers are guaranteed a 'fair' price. 1/2

Thank-you @madeinca.bsky.social for the labeling clarification.
If the label says 'Made in Canada' - 1. The last substantial transformation of the good occurred in Canada. 2. At least 51% of the total direct costs of producing or manufacturing the good have been incurred in Canada. 3. The 'Made in Canada' representation is accompanied by an appropriate qualifying statement.
If the label says 'Product of Canada' 1. The last substantial transformation of the good occurred in Canada.  2. At least 98% of the total direct costs of producing or manufacturing the good have been incurred in Canada.
