But a couple of years ago people were saying this kind of outage only ever happens on Rogers.

It’s almost like these networks are getting to big and complex for the amount of well trained, well experienced staff have to maintain the system.

Back in January I did a bit of price comparing between Canadian Tire, Home Depot and Rona for the materials for a project I was planning. (I wanted to check Home Hardware as well, but the closest one is about 75KM away, so not really practical in my case)

I was surprised to discover that Canadian Tire had better prices on all but 2 of the things I looked at. And even those 2, they were less than a dollar different.

Formally summoning the ambassador is the first step in that process.

4 years after getting rid of him they invited him back in.

her goal isn’t to get them to stop, it’s to get them to recognize what garbage writing is and how to fix it so it isn’t garbage anymore.

Sadly, that may be the best we can hope for.

Fix these things, and suddenly the US might become a genuine super power again.

It’s going to take a helluva lot longer than “suddenly” for the rest of the world to trust the USA again.

You fuckwits knew what Trump was and you went and made the same stupid fucking mistake again 4 years later.

Even if you kick Trump and the MAGAts out, how can we trust that you won’t simply let them seize power again in a couple of years?

It’s going to take a generation of sane progressive leaders before anyone will start to forgive and forget.

California, Oregon, Washington. I think you should join Canada

And if we don’t want them?

Even the most left-ish states are still relatively right leaning by Canadian standards.

trump already betrayed the country.

That means it’s time to separate the country from Trump.

Far past the time, actually, but it’s never a bad time to get started.

Imprisoned the same way Epstein was.

As the saying goes goes “the best time was 10 years ago, the second best time is today”

I don’t think people should be allowed to invest in property to not live in it though.It shouldn’t be purely for financial gain.

I believe that’s what the person you replied to was implying.

I don’t think of it in terms of “investing” when I’m making my home my own and maintaining it properly so I can continue to live there.

I do not think they will fix their problem anytime soon.

I think we’re still a long way from them even recognizing the actual problems that need fixing.

Already happening.

As does Canada.

For decades I’ve been constantly hearing Americans calling themselves"home of the free, land of the brave".

But in the last 4 months all I hear is “there’s nothing we can do. We just have to accept this fascist takeover”.

It’s outrageous that the Americans are still trying to push the lie that they’re somehow the victim in this.

The only thing they’re the victim of is self-inflicted injuries.

Don’t be the stereotypical “ugly American tourist”. Arrogance and “we don’t do it like that where I come from” will not be appreciated.

Don’t dress yourself in " 'murica, fuck yeah!" type stuff (or even worse, MAGA crap).

You don’t need to open with “sorry the whole Trump thing” every time you talk to someone.

Just be polite, be reasonable and be quietly friendly and you’ll have a pleasant visit.

you overestimate the agency we have to rescue ourselves.

Better start finding some.

Nobody else is coming to save you from yourselves.

It’s up to Americans to fix their own shit.

He looked like an utterly beaten down and broken man sitting in the box when that last goal was scored.

If you expect to be allowed to take money from the Canadian economy, you have to contribute some value back into the Canadian economy.

Over the entire history of this country, there have been too many foreign companies swoop in, undercut the local industry, take over the market, and suck out all the profits and leave nothing but waste behind.
