First Trudeau government was a majority; confidence and supply was in effect only 2022-4.

The EU and Canada have better labor standards and environmental regulation than the US. Perhaps the US should charge them negative tariffs until it gets up to snuff.

Not so much compete as being protected from having to compete.

I think the US electing a convicted criminal as President was a very poor precedent to set.

True after the first Trump administration. But now? I doubt it.

The question the group will ask is: "Do you agree that the province of Alberta should cease to be a part of Canada to become an independent state?" https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/alberta-ref

The stated objective of the Alberta Prosperity Project is for Alberta to be a sovereign nation. They're not looking to trade Ottawa for Washington. Of course it is a loony idea, but that is what they're pushing.

separation != joining the US There is small but loud group of chronic whiners who hate everything (often including each other) pushing the former. Almost nobody is pushing the latter.

Electoral college, rampant gerrymandering, and 2 senators/state all big structural problems. Term and/or age maximums might also help.

There's a vocal minority of perpetual malcontents in Alberta arguing for secession. But even those nutters don't want to join the US.

The announced limit doesn't seem like enough volume for BYD to roll out a dealership network, but maybe they do it in anticipation of higher limits in the future. Volvo could be an immediate beneficiary. The Canadian EX30 was going to

Ford calls it a truck. Ask a random person on the street, and they'll say it is a small truck. I've seen plenty of people in working clothes driving them, carrying working tools and such.

The Ford Maverick is pretty utilitarian, inasmuch as any new US vehicle is. The Slate is utilitarian, but remains to be seen if it actually ships. https://www.slate.auto/en

The Santa Cruz is about the same size as a Santa Fe and weighs less. The Ford Maverick is a smaller vehicle but also a truck. It is a working truck for some, and a rec/handyman vehicle for others.

Yeah, it effectively became a typed wrapper of a long epoch millis value. Generally treated as immutable by convention in my experience, although of course it technically wasn't as the setters were never removed. It was hopelessly wron

Good article, but “Java deprecated their Date way back in 1997” is not exactly true. They deprecated a lot of methods and constructors in JDK1.1 when Calendar was introduced, but the class itself was never deprecated and it was the preferre

In this case the candidate they voted for was a convicted criminal and pathological liar. Dishonesty is the through line of Trump’s entire life. There was no reasonable expectation his second term would bring anything else. Anyone expressin

The lightest SuperDuty has a gas engine. Diesel SuperDuty fuel economy is a bit better, but the vehicle also weighs more and is likely to be carrying/pulling more. But regardless of whether the multiple is 2 or 3.4 or somewhere in betw

Civic fuel economy is about 2x an unloaded SuperDuty, so the SuperDuty owner likely pays maybe a bit more than 2x in gas tax + registration. +700lb (+25%) => 2.25x damage +2800lb (+100%) => ???x damage Your story doesn't provide

Pretty far? According to your link, an EV that is 700lb heavier => 2.24x damage Civic: ~2900lb SuperDuty: ~5700-7600lb

More, sure. But not remotely proportional to the increased wear and tear from vehicle weight.

12-15k miles in a Ford SuperDuty is equivalent to how far in a gas Civic? I suspect that driver isn't being charged accordingly.
