Hello, Canada! Your Costco in Victoria is very much like ours. I like the poutine and and clucks and fries.

You were about 3 minutes from my house while I am almost 7800km (5k miles) from it myself.

Ontario, who hurt you so much?

Ontario Place bulldozed under cover of darkness and people are livid
The provincial government and private stakeholders may have wanted to conceal what's happening at Ontario Place with the solid wooden wall they built…

The Conservative government is realizing that the anti-Trudeau sentiment federally is giving them totally free reign to be as corrupt as they want without risking their re-election chances. The normal (barely present) attempt to disguise their corruption and contempt for voters is just gone now. The environment, cultural landmarks like the Science Centre and Ontario Place, provincial health care are all in the process of being dismantled to line the pockets of the rich elite and the cronies of Doug Ford and his crew.
It's awful, and it's going to get worse because voters are putting blame everywhere except on the people actually hurting them.

I'm no fan of Trudeau, but I'm genuinely afraid of what the country will become if the Conservatives get power. We can say goodbye to so much progress.

Seeing BC swing conservative gives me absolutely zero hope that the country isn't going to do the same. My only real hope is that the swing back after they start fucking everything up for all of us is fast enough that there's something left to salvage.
I genuinely don't think it's going to be possible for Ontario to bounce back on a lot of fronts. Things are going to stay worse than they were. It's just a matter of how much damage is done for the Cons get voted out.

I thought MAYBE things might turn for the better when Olivia Chow was elected Toronto mayor, since she holds a lot of progressive ideals. But being mayor of one of the biggest cities in the country doesn't amount to much, I guess.

TIL that Elon Musk has Canadian citizenship. And that there's a petition to strip him of it, what with the whole being part of a foreign government that's actively threatening Canadian sovereignty thing he's got going on.
Just an FYI for any Canadian members who didn't already know about this but might be interested in signing if it's brought to their attention.

When someone says in plain language that they don't believe that the country they have citizenship in is even a real and valid country to begin with, I don't think there's anything cavalier about taking them at their word and removing that citizenship.
While you do have a good point, I would argue that Musk currently holds triple-citizenship & question just how much he would honestly hold himself to actually be a citizen of all 3 countries. It's not like Shamima Begum who has been left effectively stateless by the UK government - Musk would still hold American & South African citizenship.
Same here. I have that little list of Canadian brands they sent out saved in the top spot of my phone.
We have Hawkins Cheezies!
