I remember biking around Vancouver for a winter and every seemed to be using nuclear powered headlights that blinded you in what passed for broad daylight in Vancouver's winter.

Or 8-weeks if you take extended leave for the year and a half! Both great options.

I guess the NDP really are all for the two party system.

What's your source for your mid-aughts numbers? As a Canadian, this seems more like propaganda for the 51st state propaganda.

If only the Democrat’s could capitalize on it.

It seems a lot of blue voters have bought the line that getting clearance would somehow muzzle him and that any other talking point is liberal media trying to smear him.

Indeed, it has some minor appeal to liberals who don't truly understand guns but sets the rural and conservative areas on edge in a way that is going to be hard to bring back and create a better political dialogue.

deeply blue, western riding feel attacked and alienated. This issue alone could be a driving factor for rising right wing maple MAGA in Canada and is not the hill we need to die on. All we need is the previous laws to be properly enforced.

I am a left wing gun owner living in a deeply blue riding. Gun laws prior to Trudeau were sufficient. Any pistol or automatic rifle had severe restrictions and cannot be legally carried outside the house unless heading directly to the gun range. The new laws do little to increase safety but make...

"Our allies trust them", which allies do you have left? Soon its just Putin.

Well I bet she doesn't have security clearance either so they can't be talking about anything too important.

I think Canadians are realizing we're at war, and Mark Carney is our wartime PM.

Thereby, when PP attacks him, he is attacking Canada.

I think that's ultimately the phenomenon we're seeing.

That would be a very Russian move.

Had to double check this wasn't The Onion. Wasn't that Turkish tylenol expired when she got it?

That's a hilarious response too, as a (Canadian) government employee, I don't think any of my colleagues are going to be able to switch to high paying manufacturing jobs easily. We are in the jobs we are in because its a professional service job.

As Canadian and BC resident, our premier has removed only red state liquor from the BCLiquor stores. With the Democrats fighting this regime with *checks notes* pink and ping pong paddles, it should probably be like Ontario and all American alcohol off the shelves. Elbows up.

I've been called a lot of things as a Canadian but syrup people takes the (pan)cake. I approve of this new moniker.

As a Canadian, it's quite concerning and reminds of times when Trump would disparage our leaders and insult them but then praise Putin and other dictators. And it's all coming back again but worse.

I recently became active on bluesky, not posting yet but following the discussions. I got a few starter packs added and then noticed immediately a bunch of similar no-content followers. I must look like a bot too though as this is my first post.
