All Gorn are beautiful!

They seem to be playing things close to the vest for now, but I'm sure that will all come out in time.

Riker claimed in “Lonely Among Us” that humans ”no longer enslave animals for food purposes.”

There are so many other purposes.

policies and legislation that undermine competitiveness, delay project development and disproportionately harm specific provinces and territories without any quantifiable benefits to the natural environment

What.

I'm not 100% certain, but the new season might show up on Crave, as well.

Which is also something you have to pay for, of course, but at least there are options?

 

I wasn't sure if this option would still be available to us, but the new season will continue to be shown on TV.

I thought it would be good to note this in case anyone wants to avoid a Paramount+ subscription for, you know, reasons.

Throughout the spring federal election campaign, Mark Carney as Liberal leader repeatedly vowed to "eliminate" interprovincial trade barriers and create "free trade by Canada Day."

But Canada's internal trade barriers won't all be eliminated by then — not even all the federal ones.

Canada's supply management system for dairy products, which sets provincial production quotas, will remain. Quebec also has language requirements that will stay in place.

It's geographically impossible for Canada to completely eliminate trade with the US.

I absolutely agree that it should be minimized, though.

Agreed. If there's a greater purpose here, keeping it from Canadians is a pretty big blunder.

Even if we reach a deal, it’s not like Trump is stable or trustworthy enough to honour it.

I don't think this is entirely true - Trump is obviously not trustworthy, but the government has been able to leverage CUSMA to lessen the impact of the attempted tariffs. There seems to be some benefit to having a formal deal in place.

But I'm definitely not comfortable with this capitulation at all.

Despite the move, Canada is still in active discussions with G7 allies to introduce an international tax, with Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne leading that work, the PMO said.

If this ends up happening, it's important context to this decision.

If it ends up not happening...pretty weak shit.

Elbows way, way down.
