You know, people who aren’t very bright can usually easily make up for that by just being diligent, such as by reading a bit more before posting. People who aren’t very bright and who are committed to ignorance because it confirms their ideological biases have a much harder time figuring things out. I see that’s where you’re at, so you’re not worth interacting with further. Hopefully you overcome that hurdle some day.

Good day.

Actually, I read several more articles about her before I posted that, because I wanted to find out more. She moved to Canada in 2014, she is apparently a PR, and she seems to love Canada. Maybe you should check your xenophobia and read more before you post something.

From what I read, she moved to Canada more than 10 years ago.

It prevents tariffs on inputs, which lowers costs of goods sold for products sold outside the US. Goods sold into the US would still be tariffed, but if the inputs are largely from China, it would still likely be cheaper to manufacture outside the US, not pay the 125% tariffs on inputs, and deal with the lower tariff rate into the States.

I mean, if your costs on inputs are going to go up from 125% tariffs by being in the US, but you can manufacture somewhere that the US is only charging 10% tariffs, it’s a strong incentive to move manufacturing to that low-tariff destination and only face a 10% tariff on what your selling.

What works for any specific company would come down to their own mix of inputs, target markets, and other factors.

The funniest thing about this is, if you’re a US manufacturer with a lot of inputs from China and you’re selling to a global market, the smartest thing to do now is very likely going to be moving your manufacturing outside of the US.

I miss boring Canadian politics. I have never felt a sense of a Canadian election being so consequential before. The movement that has captured the US is genuinely dangerous, and if it captures Canada too, it’s going to take us fully along for the ride.

So, it’s not affecting Canada’s ability to have a free and fair vote, but they leave that to very end of the article while using an earlier part of the article to platform Micheal Chong saying this is China working to get Carney elected.

They also totally neglected to include a comment from Freeland, who is the other person they say was previously targeted by the group.

That is some bad journalism in the midst of an election.

Do better, CBC.

It’s not just X. All the big social media platforms are flooded with bot networks now. It’s impossible to engage genuinely in public discourse on them with accounts you don’t personally know. The well of social media is being actively poisoned every day by manipulative bad actors.

This is just a meme designed to divide people who share common interests in opposing corruption and to turn them against each other instead.

“New” as in September of last year, not something done under Carney’s leadership. Carney also just recently made a statement that Palestinians have an untouchable right to the territorial integrity of their land in the same way that Ukraine and Canada do.

My hopes are not very high for the Liberals to be as strong on opposing Israel’s actions in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, and Syria as I would like, but with circumstances in our relationship with the US having changed dramatically, I think there is an opening for new leadership to go in a new direction. At least with the Liberals under Carney there is some hope. With Poilievre, there would be no hope at all.

What the surgeon did was obviously wrong, but a Nazi making homemade pipe bombs is still by far the bigger concern in this story.

Totally support that, and it’s a great time for it as Canada’s under threat and many Canadians are boycotting US media products.

Personally, since cutting off US media and switching to CBC, I’ve really enjoyed a lot of Canadian content and I’ve found myself more appreciative and interested in Canadian cultural products overall.

This may be the only use of FAFO I actually enjoy.

Not surprising in the least. The author’s research methodology is a bit clunky, but you don’t need an LLM to tell you that the content on r/Canada is extremely conservative and that a lot of it feels inorganic. It’s self-evident.

It would be a good idea for the guy with no matches to get matches. If the guy with all the matches is much stronger than the guy without matches, the guy without matches would benefit from the threat of being able to take the other guy down with him.

Quite shameful. This is not what providing the public with quality news at a critical time looks like.

Have never had an interest in watching them before, but watched yesterday to support Canadian artists and am enjoying listening to a Juno playlist today.

Does he want to lose, or does he think his best bet at this point is continuing to lean into the Maple MAGA movement, holding that part of his base, and being the beneficiary of some foreign interference via US media/social media?

For me, a product with no clear country of origin goes back on the shelf. If I’m not sure where it’s a product of and there’s a possibility of it being American, I’m not buying.

That’s just the paper I was thinking of.
