Pessimists said this would never happen and that boycotts are pointless 🤣

Time for Brussels to cleanup our sloppiness.

Behind the “elbows up” rhetoric, Carney’s increase in military spending will tie Canada closer to the U.S. One Canadian Army program will spend up to $500 million on U.S. equipment. Another major defence contract from last July included technical requirements that reduced candidates to just one U.S. company.

It would be funny if Trump attempted to hold the bag only for his plan to blow up in his face.

Buying from Sweden is the best option. Ditch american fascism and protect our borders.

While there are many unanswered questions on the military front, there is evidence that Saab’s public relations campaign in Canada has been successful.

According to an Ekos survey released last month, 43 per cent of Canadians want the federal government to acquire a fleet of Gripen fighters to replace its aging CF-18s, while 29 per cent are in favour of a mixed fleet made up of Gripens and American-built F-35s.

The option of a single fleet of F-35s was the least popular choice in the survey, at 13 per cent support.

Quebec and British Columbia are the two provinces where purchasing a fleet of F-35s is the least popular option (nine per cent), while the option is most popular in the Atlantic provinces (16 per cent) and in Alberta (18 per cent).

Support for a mixed fleet is strongest in Quebec at 35 per cent, while support for a fleet composed solely of Gripens peaked at 49 per cent in British Columbia.

Way too low, we would be swallowed up whole by fascists if people don’t wake up.

Despite being concerned artificial intelligence is replacing workers, NDP leadership candidate and union leader Rob Ashton used AI during an online campaign event on Sunday.

He gets lowered on my list.

He’s laughing, manchild has no regrets.

Lula is a real working class man, dude improved Brazil’s democracy and lost his finger in a factory incident.

Can we have some french troops stationed here in exchange for maple syrup and minerals?

And if sideloading and unlocked bootloaders were so vital to consumers, wouldn’t those manufacturers making those devices be seeing overwhelming market demand?

The big manufacturers can bulk buy all the factory space to make the best chips. People are chasing specs over freedom.

The point being, bootloaders are locked for security reasons, and to maintain separation between warranty concerns. That’s why most Android devices with unlockable bootloaders require OEM codes, such that warranties on those devices can be invalidated due to no longer being within the provider’s control. It would be moronic for any manufacturer to warranty anything that is not within their control.

People certainly don’t believe that corporate schilling when it comes to home computers and cars.

Also why are you letting ai do the thinking for you in that second link?

This is why I support Mark Carney in using British spellings and words. Let’s gut out all the American influence from our English.

Liberal premier Susan Holt is throwing low income women under the bus.

Federal lobbying records show that insurance sector representatives lobbied decision-makers about pharmacare at least 53 times between April 28 and November 25, according to a statement from the group. The lobbyists represented the Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association and several major companies, including Manulife, Canada Life, Sun Life, and Greenshields.

Three provinces and one territory — Manitoba, B.C., P.E.I. and Yukon — have signed pharmacare agreements with Ottawa since then.

Carney told reporters in September that his government intends to follow through with pharmacare deals covering every province and territory. However, there was no new money for the program in November’s federal budget.

“Insurance industry interests have taken full advantage of the ‘open door’ policy for corporate lobbyists adopted by the Liberal government, to the detriment of the millions of Canadians who are struggling to afford their medications,” said Nikolas Barry-Shaw, lead campaigner on pharmacare for the Council of Canadians.

In the lead-up to the election, Carney pledged to provide “dental care and pharmacare for everyone who needs it” and the federal Liberal Party platform stated that a Carney government would “protect dental care and pharmacare.”

At a campaign event in P.E.I. last year, just days before the election, Carney said in a speech: “Pharmacare will provide free contraceptives to nine million Canadians and diabetes medication to almost four million Canadians. Pierre Poilievre will eliminate it because he thinks it’s everyone for themselves.”

New Brunswick’s Liberal government under Premier Susan Holt — who promised free contraceptives in their 2024 election platform — has so far appeared lukewarm about pharmacare.

Dornan previously stated that an offer from the feds wasn’t enough to cover the province’s pharmacare costs and that “New Brunswickers are already relatively well covered.”

But diabetes patients and public health advocates say there is widespread hardship among low-income people forced to choose between groceries, rent, and life-sustaining treatments.

Canada is the only country in the world with a universal health care system but no universal coverage for medication outside of hospitals.
