Can you provide evidence that the Government of Ontario was laundering goods from China for imports into the U.S.A. for a cut? I'm a regular reviewer of Government of Ontario actions and finances so I would definitely want to see the i

Thanks, but as I said I do not share your value judgments about what is and is not important in this matter so this data is not relevant to my consideration of the matter.

True, I did watch the Americans keep their government in check when they did not attack Iraq in 2003 and when they did not attack Iran recently. They kept their government in check when they did not kill school girls in Iran. They kept thei

Most of that rant is not about data, it is a set of value judgments which which I do not agree. For some people the economy is everything and you're one of those people. Luckily for society not everyone is like you.

Sure, but you don't need that hypothetical to explain that. The USA produces and consumes more goods than Canada. Overall people are resilient and able to survive such disruptions. I'd rather be sovereign and poorer than whatever

The referendum is a hypothetical while federal power is real and spelled out in the constitution. All I hear about Alberta and Saskatchewan's leverage is that we ought to fear their willingness to invite a foreign power to dismember Ca

And if you argue in good faith, you would admit that that the past is not the future before making that argument. You would admit that Trudeau's policies are not necessarily other people's policies or policy preferences. You also

Is that what it said in the Century Initiative? That it would come "largely from countries like India"? Show me where it says that I'm open to it.

Openly lying about one's position is a typical negotiating strategy available to parties and used by both parties in the Canada-USA trade negotiations. It doesn't need to be justified. My issue is the American threats of violent a

That's my view. The "Century Initiative" is being criticized for suggesting that Canada should reach 100 million by 2100. But you'd never believe it, the criticism is that this is too many people, and not many people cri

You can get the same knowledge about every country via a population density map, incidentally!

And people say there are no positives to trade wars. With some luck the other half will pack up and leave asap

I've had a trade deficit with supermarkets my whole life. Not once has any one of them bought anything from me, yet I keep buying and buying...

By definition if you isolate a country from the world it would be more self sufficient that very moment than it is the moment before it is isolated. Isn't that obvious?

Yeah, but export taxes are a federal responsibility. The fact that these provinces are irrelevant for the Liberals politically is those provinces' exact liability here.

It's so obvious that you'd think its intentional.

I'm sure many Canadians are fine with a "bad no deal" if it means not negotiating with an unreliable partner that consistently engages in threatening Canada's national sovereignty.

The poster didn't say they want everyone to go back to the office, they said they preferred to work in the office. Maybe cool off before bashing

I'm lucky that I can do something that aligns with how I like to live and work. I guess my question to you is why you don't seek to return to the office yourself? I might not understand the attraction of the commute but "diff

In Canada - and it does get cold here, and hot here. You can't work outside every single day, but you also do not have to stay at home or indoors every single day. I lean toward being outdoors for as much as possible of the year. There

If you claim that something only moves in one direction, then one counterexample is enough to invalidate that claim. If you say in 99.999% of cases something only moves in one direction, then that claim can be invalidated by showing that ei

Apologies, my error was in having English as not my first language. I should have said that the only evidence of the proponents of the theory is vibes and feelings.

What evidence is presented in the article? Only vibes and feelings.

No, it is a marketing term relating to the chargers BYD is deploying. According to the article the chargers can charge a car with enough electricity to provide a range of 400km in around 5 minutes. Another separate, but important, factor is

Not quite - it's somewhat like South Africa in that certain institutions are in Colombo and others in Kotte (specifically the legislature is in Kotte). In addition, Kotte and Colombo are nearly adjacent.

Really? Anecdotal as well, but I see tonnes of liberals and similar free market oriented people all over that website... I wonder if whether our preferences are giving us different impressions of the user base?

Yeah, you would need more than just ethnicity. You can read the Justice's examples directly in the case. Being or looking Mexican on a parking lot may be enough to justify a Kavanaugh stop, but just being Mexican or looking Mexican on

You think nationalism is not a popular brand of identity politics in Europe? Can you explain why you think that? In many nations in Europe nationalists have won elections even in recent years. In a more extreme case the idea that Ukrainian
