It’s a big one - I was feeling ambitious.
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?
Optimism!
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.
I didn’t say that.
Star Trek VI is generally considered one of the “good ones”.
Of course, the secret is, they’re all the good ones.
Yes, even that one.
I would probably go with “whatever was the most recent release,” so West is canonical, but his identity as the would-be assassin is not?
Which I prefer, to be honest - having the Klingon be a Klingon helps to reinforce this as a cross-faction conspiracy.
Some traditions need to be upheld.
Some picks were exchanged yesterday, but it’s been pretty quiet.

What do you mean, you’ve seen this? It’s brand new…
Yeah, every analysis of the RCMP I’ve ever seen seems to agree that the elimination of their local policing responsibilities has got to be the first priority.
What.
