I think there would have to be an actual military buildup to make that stick.

To be clear, I'm more than happy to call them colliquially treasonous...I just don't think elected officials should be throwing the term around too casually.

Yeah, this is already something they can (and do) do under the terms of NORAD.

Yes, indeed.

This strategy will include measures to implement unit price labelling so Canada can compare easily in this era of 'shrinkflation,' as well as support for the work of the Competition Bureau in monitoring and enforcing competition in our market," he said.

This would be a welcome requirement in my books.

Yeah, I don't get where the "appeasement" narrative is coming from.

A lot of the CentrePort initiative has relied on the province being a good export route from the US, though.

I don't think it's clear what he means, tbh. I don't see how it could mean anything other than a permanent military presence there, which...isn't currently on the table?

Sure, but I'm not about to absolve the spa of responsibility for what they put out into the world.

Can't say I agree with that.

Alexandre Boileau, Groupe Nordik's senior director of marketing in sales, said in an emailed statement to CBC News that the survey was "reviewed in advance" but admits the company "did not apply sufficient scrutiny" to the values-based questions CROP included.

Yeah, I don't know if they're focusing on more geographically spread-out areas, or what.

It sounds like the party is in the toilet, and the PQ is riding high in the polls...

Even a broken clock...
