Unfortunately Canada still imports red scare, no tariffs on that one

Yes, you will be welcomed by the people. Being welcomed by the job market is a whole another story, though one that you being American isn’t really getting in your way.

There’s nothing gross about celebrating local artists

Seizing on how? This smells like alarmist bullshit to fuel defense arguments for the USA to make more demands like needing to take Greenland and more defense spending from Canada.

Russia is busy twisting the US’ arm on Ukraine negotiations and China is more interested in filling the gap left by the USA meltdown as a power broker in the global stage, their threat is more like election interference than military. Our biggest territorial threat right now is the fucking USA, the country that half the population might eat up this headline as just cause for threatening allies sovereignty.

The Russian leader has backed Mr Trump’s annexation of Greenland, implying the president’s dreams of Arctic expansion are a mirror of his own claims on Ukraine. Moscow could soon work with Washington on joint projects in the region, said his aides, raising the prospect of a great power carve-up.

This is the fucking threat, and it comes from the other border, not the Arctic. Canada might be the next Poland if that orange bastard continues this bizarre trend. Or maybe just like Ukraine…

OP already answered with the edit but the short answer is that most people are not paying that out of pocket

And I want to live in Vancouver because I love my lifestyle here :-)

I’m a productive SWE at a big tech firm and I’m looking pretty seriously at offices in Canada.

Come. We need more progressives in technology. You might feel the pay cut but it’s so worth imo

security clearance would legally prevent him from sharing privileged information If he became privy to it. It’s not a good tactic of opposition to be silenced by the people you’re opposing.

So it’s better for him to not have the information, compared to having information but not being allowed to disclose it?

Or do you mean that he is having access to privileged information and he is disclosing it even though he doesn’t have permission to it?

woah

If you’re studying fascism, wouldn’t you want to be where the fascism is?

He is. Fascism is growing on planet earth

the winters are very survivable

sounds very attractive lol selling 1/4 of the year as “survivable”

One guy in my cohort died in a firefight with ICE

what

But how is fleeing the country not “giving up before you fight”?

Trying to seriously answer… he’s a researcher that studies fascism, so his most effective means of fighting is to continue his work. He’s a more valuable fighter as a researcher than he is as a guy on picket lines. If he continues his research, it’s a net gain for everyone - specially if he continues advocating, like he is already doing by talking about this with media.

He praised other faculty at Yale for standing up against the attacks on their profession and said he wished he could stay and fight with them.

“I don’t see it as fleeing at all,” he said. “I see it as joining Canada, which is a target of Trump, just like Yale is a target of Trump.”

Absolutely, it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to latch off from NHTSA and save thousands of lives by just copying Europes homework on a few small updates.

Not holding my breath, though. I’m guessing it’s more likely the auto industry will hold on to the hopes of restoring the trade with the US.

Time to adopt the latest regulation standards and stop holding back just so Americans can cross this border

All Tesla dealers are corporate owned, they are not independent dealers like all other car companies.

Yes, they are all owned by a parent company, Tesla. They are still managed independently, that’s why these dealerships are being investigated one by one, and why only four Tesla locations claimed a surge of rebates as opposed to all Canadian locations.

Take note that I said that they operate independently from each other, which is not a statement regarding their ownership structure.

The same situation could also be explained by Tesla not submitting claims as they come, instead submitting them as a group after there were comments about the funding starting to end

Yes, that’s possible. That’s why there’s an ongoing investigation.

Which would also make sense. Large companies paying and submitting claims for things in bulk on longer cycles like quarterly is very common.

These are not large companies, these are car dealerships. They operate and submit those independently from each other. And when they submit the form, they state when the sale was made. That’s how the investigation came to be, because they stated a surge of sales.

The simplest explanation is they registered sales that they intended to make later, just to get the rebates while it was still possible, which is fraud.

I mean, just block things from the Sun network and it’s half the job done. No complicated debates required, no risk of cross-fire with the entire rest of the news world.

Instead of an open ended rule, it’s easier to just blocklist a few repeat offenders like everything owned by Postmedia.

Well kind of not, this is the work of the govt of India which doesn’t give a flying fuck about Indian faces being eaten in Canada. On the contrary, the Indian govt would greatly appreciate the opportunity to maw Indians here, specially Sikhs.

I find it pretty amusing that this bridge started out as a just a bridge in what amounted to “private property”, but visitors repeatedly trespassed to cross it because it was good fun. Its popularity eventually led it to become an actual attraction, when the owner gave up on staving off the adventurers and sold it.
