This article is wrong about the deal parameters. Strange

No that’s not what happened.

Carney conceded 50% of net profits because that gives the baby his candy. But net profits is calculated after paying back the construction debt and interest which is wholly owned by Canada. In addition, there’s some sort of economic development fund that’s jointly contributed to by the Canada and US, not a bad idea I guess. The big concession was giving the US veto power over toll changes for the bridge.

Canada has an incredibly long way to go, but I have some questions.

From my experience indigenous women are amazingly stoic during childbirth. It’s impressive to see. I’m not suggesting racial bias and prejudice don’t play a role, but I wonder if they are able to normalize the results for “squeaky wheel gets the grease”.

Yes but the alternative is to become hostage to a hostile nation.

You cave now and they will do it again. We also have to stop pretending these are Canadian firms leaving. We’ve allowed many of our manufacturing companies to become subsidiaries of foreign companies.

Reddit is just too botted out to be a reasonable place for a conversation anymore.

There’s two back and forths before someone gets angry and everyone has a personal anecdote that contradicts any point anyone makes.

Reddit has gotten impossible with that nonsense. I got banned from a sub for calling out someone who posted a tweet about tariffs being beneficial as a scholarly source. I said, this isn’t a source it’s some guys opinion. 

In another sub I got banned for suggesting that liberals claim to be above using attack ads was a dumb opinion because they’ve never said any such thing.

The polarization is bad for everyone.

What made the halftime show so great was that it was a celebration of something Bad Bunny actually cared about. He cared enough to want to share with you the lovely little things about his culture that make it special.

I don’t know what Kid Rock loves or cares about or wants to share (I actually have one idea but it’s gross). I do know what he hates. Nobody wants to hang out with an asshole I’d much rather go for good vibes with a language barrier.

The amount of GLP-1 ads during the Super Bowl was disturbing
