Great way to show how much integrity and honesty you have. Cowards.

Minimum 2 locks. And the lock featured in the article wouldn't cut it. Or rather it would be cut... and quite easily too.

Possibly even 3 locks if you have a very valuable e-bike. But honestly I would just get a beat up junker bike and ride that instead if you need to park it in iffy places.

There are. It's just the US is a large car-centric country which makes travel difficult and the ruling party controls almost all of the media and thus there is a media blackout on protests.

Dental and eyecare are largely private here in Canada, so yes. It will bleed your wallet dry unless you have insurance, work benefits, etc.

Guessing someone told Trump to back off because his meddling is costing the Conservatives the election.

I don't think it will help though. He repeatedly threatened war on Canada. That's not something you just pretend never happened.

History teaches us what power-hungry men do with honest and unbiased media.

In the case of the USA, that history is currently the present.

I sincerely hope Singh either resigns or is given the boot after this election. The party has sustained incredible losses under his leadership and they desperately need a new face that isn't associated with the Trudeau era.

The NDP are at risk of losing official party status right now. There is absolutely nothing Singh can bring to the table to make anybody care except a resignation speech.

Oh now that would be beautiful.

How is this even a deal? Ukraine gets basically nothing in return.

This is just extortion.

Using generated frames so you can have an even faster frame rate of blurry and smeared frames and godawful raytraced jittering shadows.

And this is where some of the worst long-term damage to the US is going to be felt.

The world seeks reliable trade partnerships and the US is willing throwing them away to empower its biggest rival.

Yes, but also no. Canada not only has a lot more potash than Russia does but we're also better equipped to export it to the US. For potash to get from Russia to the US it would have to be transported overland to a port, loaded onto a ship, travel essentially across the entire globe, make port, unload, get put on a train or truck, and sent to where it is needed. And that's assuming Russia even has the infrastructure to facilitate exports of such a scale to the US. Exporting it from Canada means tossing it on a train just yeeting it down across the border. Even with hefty tariffs with Canada in place, buying from Russia would still be pissing money away.

Canada still has leverage over the US when it comes to potash but Russia selling to other countries is a problem.
