Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre insisted Wednesday that his promised three-strikes law wouldn’t run afoul of the Constitution, after several justice experts said some of his crime policies are likely to get struck down by the courts.

Sure, I'll trust the guy with a BA in international relations over literal experts in the law!

A few points:

1. LiberuxNexx sounds like a medication's marketing name.
2. It says "2TB storage" then in the details it's actually 256GB + microSD support, which IMHO is very different.
3. To me, this just sounds like a new version of the PinePhone Pro or Librem 5. Yes, it's got newer & better hardware, but there's no release date or even price.

When they say "recession," they are talking about a very specific definition:

Declines in real gross national income (GNI) for two consecutive quarters

This can only be confirmed once we have the data. So, you are likely right, we are probably already in a recession. However, it's not "They just don’t want to acknowledge it’s happening," it's that they can't confirm it's happening until 6 months after a recession has started.

We do not have "northern provinces", those are territories.

For a less pedantic answer:

• the territories are administered differently, with much more control from the Federal government
• they have <120K in population which make statistical data difficult
• they have very unique sociocultural circumstances (remoteness, high percentage of Inuit people, many "fly in" industries, etc) that make them hard to compare to the rest of Canada.

While this is probably a good long-term direction for Canada, I'm curious if this is going to be an excuse to continue relying on our aging CF-18s for another generation.

Your comment is very short, so I may be reading too much into it. However, most people who deny Residential Schools were part of genocide, simply don't know the definition. From the UN:

genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

1. Killing members of the group;
2. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
3. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
4. Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
5. Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

Many people assume genocide can is only something like the Holocaust, where there's an attempt to exterminate a group, but it can be more subtle, such as, "killing the indian in the child."

Sure, that's completely true but unrelated to what you said in your original comment. I quote:

Why would anyone with that much money want to come here permanently

You were not talking about non-resident citizens, so stop moving the goalposts.

Plus, the US has one of the lowest tax rates of any of those "large countries" you talked about. So unless a US citizen resided in a country without a tax treaty with the US (there's not many of them), they're almost certainly being charged enough tax in their resident country that they pay $0 to the IRS on non-USA income.

The US is the only large country that taxes its citizens on their worldwide income.

That’s untrue. As a Canadian, I know we do, and I believe we’re far from alone. I don’t know why people keep perpetuating this myth.

It's not like that doesn't happen too.

EDIT Fixed a typo

A message even better when it's delivered by a Canadian Treasure!

Not really. He hasn't been acting President for months, so there was no urgency for the court to force it through.

I think I count 20 people at the bus stop, so to be generous, I'm assuming 1.4 people per car, which would be ~14 cars. I count 17 cars on the road from the far right of the picture to the bus (including the car in the right turn lane, not counts the cars in the driveway, or that cute micro-car).
