Who does he think exactly pays the tariffs? I'm sure American manufacturers that use things like Canadian aluminium and steel are really happy they are going to pay a surcharge on materials they need to make stuff, decreasing their competiveness even further.

Interesting to actually read through some background on him; he did things like found the 'Hi Dad' foundation to support men's mental health, had a private members bill around extending compassionate leave for Canadians caring for dying family members, and also successfully got bereavement leave...

Me too, but seems like with a lot of people the reverse isn't true, just because he's leading the LPC. He seems to be imposing his vision fairly directly and slowly dismantling some of the Team Trudeau (tm) outliers and taking them back to center. I really just want a fiscally responsible...

Which is interesting, especially as Carney is actively rolling back the greening policies that a lot of people on all ends of the spectrum thought were aspirational at best, and actively harmful in practice. He easily could be leading the old PC party just as easily as the current LPC party...

The point I was trying to make was Trump imposing tariffs was a major setback for the US; the tariffs being struck down as illegal by SCOTUS is a setback for the Trump administration (vice the US). For the US in general, this is a win. For the Orange Mussolini, this is a big L.

The tariffs were a major setback for the US. Trump is the POTUS, not the King; he isn't some kind of embodiment of the state. This is a personal setback for his lunacy, not the US, but they'll try some new dumb shit he likely doesn't have authority for either.

That's not politics, that's herd dynamics. People are still mammals. For every successful 'independent thinker' there are probably dozens of Groks that got stomped to death by mammoths, died painfully trying a new mushroom, or whatever other millions of ways we've managed to kill ourselves. Mob...

He's built his entire 'brand' as being inherently oppositional, so really nowhere to pivot. If he does, he'll get ripped apart by the 'PwN the LIbz' crowd for being woke, and the infighting would make them look like clowns and drive away any fence voters. Plus I don't think he's actually...

Bit of a pet peeve that this gets called AI; it's really just rebranding of remote control systems and process controls. Taking feedback and making changes automatically to keep something within specs has been something that's been automated for a few hundred years, with some really clever...

It almost seems like it's in PPs personal interest to just stick as official opposition, and almost like he's accepted that and starting to lean into that and give up on election, given that Carney is a better PC Prime Minister then he is.

In ISI case, the way they manage their workers is probably a big part of it. They are absolutely ruthless and will lay someone off Friday to call them back in Wed if there is a small schedule break, and also screw around a lot of people in the management side. As their biggest customer, we bear...

Which is funny, because QC has always done the same and was ridiculed for it (rightly) by a lot of Albertans.

Not even just taxation, I think a pillaging of resources, with reduced environmental and H&S oversight/costs, with US companies (coincidentally major donors) siphoning all the profts out would be a big part of it, and then taxation as well, without the benefits of things like universal...

And why having a red tory would probably have gotten them elected; PP actively drives away uncommitted swing voters.

Getting some legal advice on severance entitlements doesn't seem like a bad idea generally, and for the unionized people it's because their union reps can frequently be useless.

That's a wild take, that the job loss of 25,000 was attributable to Carney, and not directly the result of massive and illegal tariffs imposed by our largest trading partner. If CPC play is to keep saying the current guys suck, but their only alternative is some meaningless slogan where they've...

It absolutely is; a recent revision on IPMS rebuilt it from the ground up to be more modular, and weirdly L3Harris provided the same system to the RN for their carriers around that time. The BDCS is identical, just with a more complicated layout for the ship, and when I got to try it out at a...

Actually met a few people that were part of the City class design team that were junior engineers/Nav archs; they are now senior people at BAE. Apparently when the project wound down the majority of team got job offers from BAE and moved over (or back) to the UK to keep working on RN warship...

Sure, that would be a good option, but would still require a ramp up on the training, LCMM, and contracting support side to take on another class, which are all currently understaffed areas we're way behind on. I think the concept of CDC is fine, I think that the brass is way too focused on...

The key bit to that is DEVELOP, which is a huge undertaking. Both shipyards needed major investment and essentially a total redesign of the process and facilities to support the efficiency you get with doing modular building well. And that was actually the easy part; the hard part that is still...
