Canada is a large car market. More importantly, vehicles manufactured here will eventually be exported to the US when their policy corrects.

And we will not round up your works in chains like they are doing in the US at the moment (eg. Hyundai).

I think you meant Australians

I have 4 kids. Comments telling me to put their groceries and hockey gear in a basket are hilarious.

This is the answer. We do not have Canadian car companies.

Why build American cars in Canada? Build European and Asian ones instead.

Trade the tariffs for new factories.

Every time he talks to Canadians, we should ask him if Premier Trump is ready to make the USA the 11th Province or not. Remind him that it is their destiny and they will be far better off. If he is not “passionate” about the idea, tell him we are “sad” and “disappointed” in him.

Then walk away.

Every time this guy comes to Canada, we need to ask him if Premier Trump would consider making the US the 11th Province. If he gets upset, we can be disappointed in that.

Good. Let’s go for something a little stronger now.

Since this was an MIT source release, any chance that this could find its way onto something like Mesa for use on any GPU that supports Vulkan?

Carney will put all his promises on the table, announce a new CUSMA, and then propose a new budget in October.

If it gets voted down, it will trigger an election before the Conservatives are ready and with a long list of recent promises, actions, and spending for Carney to point to. The Conservatives would have to scramble to put up a new leader. They will probably lose the election with PP at the helm. The Bloc will probably help the libs pass the budget anyway though so I am not expecting this timeline.

If the budget moves ahead, it will be a lot harder to trigger an election for a while and Carney will have more time to prove out his programs. If he fails, sure. But if his policies work, the Libs will probably win the next election.

And what is the thesis here? That people will vote blue instead of red to save the environment? Not likely. The fact that Carney is moving right makes it harder for team blue to attack him.

If they scrap then Chinese EV tariff, the climate folks and the farmers are back on team red. If they can get an announcement that a Chinese EV company will build a plant in Ontario, even the Doug Ford’s of the world may come on board. There is a lot Carney can do to change the calculus of this article completely.

I am not sure that things look as great for the Conservatives as this article suggests.

I have built single pass compilers that do everything in one shot without an AST. You are not going to get great error messages or optimization though.

I guess I should have put a /s but I thought it was pretty obvious. The 68 in Algol 68 is 1968. COBOL is from 1959. Modula-2 is from 1977.

My point exactly was that all the hot new languages are built with LLVM while the “new” language options on GCC are languages from the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s.

I am not even exaggerating. That is just what the projects look like right now.
