It did. His career as PM.
He isn't going to be PM.

Good point - but now, there’s someone actually not precisely in lockstep with the coach (other than saying Team Blue Ontario’s way too Red) in a public way. That said …
… while intriguing as the tiniest bit of freelance narrative stretching, still way too early for me to agree with “will.” Still worth watching, especially with the link to the US Veep.

I’ll take a 100-series Landcruiser with 4.2L *Turbodiesel, 5-speed and dual fuel tanks, please. Loved driving one of these in AFG, wish I could have brought it home.

It would be interesting to know how Au and NZ wound up their supply management system. Pre-supply management here, dairies were close by, and dairy farmers complained that they would truck their milk to them only be told they don't want/need it and they ended up dumping it. We won't see village dairies anymore. I wonder if the Aussies and Kiwis sign supply contracts with their dairies.
Ask your friend Dan what he paid for his quota and how he thinks that debt should be treated.

Hilux is the Go To truck for farming in over half the world. Border Collies in the British Isles are genetically adapted get in them. The public doesn’t understand how much of an upgrade such a truck would be.
And their new 4 cyl diesel with the flat deck folding side and the FJ cruiser front end. Oh my Lord, what a beautiful beast.
But no, not enough NA content so let’s bring in Chinese electric junk.

It's real funny listening to a bunch of politicians and bureaucrats on both sides of the border talk about tariffs, trade deficits, economic policy, etc.
Whether it’s meeting a production quota, keeping a customer, turning a profit, or simply keeping the operation running, all the bullshit spewed from people's mouths who face no personal downside hus5 lands differently.

On a more serious note though, the key dropout that I've taken away from events of the past few days was something J.D. Vance said:

montreal.citynews.ca
This entire spat is about Hegemony. The current U.S. administration and a substantial portion of the American population, don't like the direction Canada has taken. Everything from immigration, cozzying up to China, digital taxes, protectionism, lack of investment in defence and security, environmental policy differences, etc...
There is decades of material on this very site that warned that this would eventually come to pass if our trajectory didn't change. Well, that moment is finally here.

Funnily enough, the Trump Administration's tariffs are being felt very unevenly across the Country:

It's almost like they are designed to attack the current Canadian Govt's support base and also separate the Provinces and create disunity. Will be interesting to watch with the Alberta referendum 60 days away:

There's a lot of variation across #cdnecon in exposure to the new 50% U.S. tariffs (on August 19). Here's a preliminary estimate of the share of exports affected (based on HS6, so a slight over-estimate). BC/ON/QC most exposed. Others far less so. | 16 comments on LinkedIn

The country to our south is more involved with China, and is even more fractured along political lines, with environmental regulation between states far more divergent than Canada's policies vs. America's national ones.On a more serious note though, the key dropout that I've taken away from events of the past few days was something J.D.

I'm also pretty sure that attacking people is the worst way to get them to change... But I'm sure the 9D chess the administration is playing is going to work this time. It's totally not a distraction from their other problems, mostly self-inflicted.
Any Canadian arguing for more American hegemonic control of Canada is walking a very thin line.

I think village dairies can return in the right location and circumstances. Our village cheese shop closed a few years ago and has now reopened with all manner of dairy including milk. It’s all local. The supply is a pain but they manage as a specialty shop. It is the grocery store lobby and the dairy boards who killed off these little shops but they are indeed resurfacing. It’s possible to run them as a co-op which is all the more attractive. I believe the base business case model is a population base of 10,000 with no more than 2 general grocers in that base, and a postal code with average household income over 110,000$. The draw is the dairy product is a “bar”, and there is usually a cafe and bakery involved. I quite enjoy ours, I do hope they make a comeback. Yes, you pay a premium price or buy a membership and commit to a minimum monthly purchase for a discount. And there is, of course, a glass, clay or aluminum bottle exchange.
A clever operator would situate near a weekly town gathering such as farmers market, or for some reason a pharmacy, bookstore or specialty apothecary (where you have to wait for mixtures.) seem to work.

Well apparently the behaviour they wanted to change was our capacity to make independent policy decisions. While that may fill you with glee it doesnt do it for me.On a more serious note though, the key dropout that I've taken away from events of the past few days was something J.D. Vance said:
