So what are we predicting the result of these trade negotiations will be? Canada to be formally crushed by the Trump train? Endless dickwaving for months on end with no real resolution?

Some poo poo head in Saanich killed a woman, her dog, and serious injured another person. It was on a classic rural road without sidewalks and the pedestrians were doing the right thing by walking in the opposing lane. The guy crossed over into the opposing lane and into the opposing shoulder and hit them. And of course comments are nothing but blaming the pedestrians for choosing to walk somewhere without sidewalks. gently caress our pedestrian murder cult of a society. Also police say there's "no evidence it was anything other than an accident". Does the reason even matter? Oh you swerved into the oncoming lane and killed people?! Did you do it on purpose? Were you drunk or on your phone? Nope? Ok you're all good mate, so long as you keep shrugging and saying "I didn't see them" you're good.

I think/hope that the police saying it was an accident means that they don't believe he deliberately drove into the women in an attempt to murder them. They're not absolving him of wrongdoing and still haven't determined if drugs/alcohol/distracted driving were factors.

There is no way the Liberals cave in on this since standing up to the Trump admin seems to be the one thing that polls well across all 3 major parties and giving in would be political suicide this close to the next federal election.

Nothing about that speech was insulting unless you happen to be a thin, orange skinned autocrat. She's doing what she should, which is maintaining face against an erratic regime that seems determined to undermine everything the Western world has worked towards since WW2. If the American administration feels insulted by this criticism, maybe it's yet another sign that they are precisely drifting into the authoritarianism she was warning against?

The result is that auto content is going to rise to 75%, we will reopen the diafiltered milk loophole for Saputo to abuse and we will all get increased duty free exemptions for crossing the border and shopping online. Also NAFTA is going to get renamed to "Trump's best ever trade deal, very big" or something loving stupid.

berenzen posted:Unless you happen to own a condo and special assessments gently caress you out the rear end. My wife and I are trying to offload her condo apartment in Calgary, because it's costing us more in mortgage and condo fees than we're making back in rent money. And because rent counts as income, but it doesn't take into account that it's costing us more than said 'income', it's screwing up her income tax returns. Get a tax accountant to review your situation and advise you if it's worth to take CCA (depreciation for tax purposes) on the rental property to reduce the taxable rental income. CPAs generally advise against this as it generally results in higher taxes upon the sale of the rental property but it can be good to do if the taxes on the rental property are causing cashflow issues for the taxpayer. You probably already know this but you can also deduct all reasonable related expenses from the gross rental income in calculating the taxable rental income. These expenses include the mortgage interest, admin fees, repairs & maintenance, property taxes and insurance. You can even deduct expenses for the use of a personal vehicle if you keep good logs of the distances traveled for rental purposes and charge a reasonable per kilometre rate. It's generally recommended that people with rental income and proprietorships engage a professional to prepare their tax returns to ensure compliance and take advantage of all possible deductions.

I have no opinion about Chrystia Freeland other than she's part of a Liberal government that doesn't seem to give a poo poo about the housing crisis infecting the cities, and therefore sucks. She really loves and cherishes the memory of her Nazi grandpa though, which is sweet.

I wish in cases like these the courts would at least impose a lifetime driving ban because if you can't keep your car on the loving road you shouldn't be allowed to drive one. But that almost never happens because our entire society seems to think that a license to drive a giant hunk of metal down the road at speeds that can easily kill is a God given right.

So in Victoria the statue saga continues. Most people are over it, but the "We ran 1/3 of the residential schools in the country" local anglican church is not. A very long sitting councilor, Chris Coleman, has just announced he isn't going to run in the upcoming election. This came as a bit of a shock to most people. The scuttlebutt though is that he's heavily involved in the local Anglican Church and counts on the anglican vote and support and they are all very very upset he voted to piss on Canada's history and greatest prime minister, the right honorable JAM man. Apparently the shaming and drama he's received for his vote was enough to tip him over the edge and retire from politics. Was a fairly decent guy on council. Like, can you imagine being so mad at someone not destroying but just moving a statue of an alcoholic genocidal racist? The Anglicans, committed to reconciliation.

A week before the election, Trudeau could give a UN speech calling for the release of the piss tape. He would win a landslide while Trump broke his pen canceling nafta and embargoing Canada. They is no winning play for him signing anything with that buffoon.

The best strategy for Canada at this point is to just run out the clock on Trump.

If there's one thing the Liberal Party is really good at it's preserving the status quo through a bunch of bureaucratic bullshit. Worked like a charm for electoral reform. I think this was the strategy for Quebec separatism in the 90's too.

Trump literally thinks all business deals and negotiations must have a clear "winner" and a clear "loser", the very idea of "win-win" interactions or business deals are alien to him, according to all his closest "friends" in the NY business community and whatnot (some of whom admit they find it bizarre, even as they're trying not to make fun of him while relating this). Any possible negotiation with him is going to be some level of bad faith, inherently.

The funny thing is that given how many of his business ventures have failed, HE is the clear loser in most of his deals. Like it's not just that he grossly misunderstands how negotiation works, but he's not even good at the form of negotiation he DOES engage with. Really the best thing Canada can do when dealing with the US at the moment is cut Trump out of the loop as often as possible (this would also be the best thing the US itself can do). Deal with the people whose job it is to handle this stuff and who actually know what they're doing, only talk to him when it's required by formality. Don't sign anything he had a hand in.

Canadian Milk Exceptionalism is grosser than milk itself. What if american milk was actually better than ours, like their beer? quote:As well, our maximum Somatic Cell Count (SCC) is also lower than the American standard. What is a SCC? It’s the total number of cells per milliliter in milk. Primarily, SCC is composed of leukocytes, or white blood cells, that are produced by the cow’s immune system to fight an inflammation. It’s a way we measure milk quality. For example, a reduced count of SCC is associated with better quality milk. Often if the count is high, it means the cow might be sick. Our maximum allowable is 400,000. Our provincial average is well below this maximum at 205,000. In Canada, each load of milk is tested to ensure it’s below that standard. In the USA, the national standard is 750,000, but the export standard is 400,000. quote:Nationally, average 2015 test-day herd SCC was 204,000 cells per mL, up 4,000 cells per mL from 2014. It marked the second consecutive year average test-day SCC posted a small increase. Prior to 2014, average test-day herd SCC has declined eight straight years and was down nearly 100,000 since 2005, according to the Council of Dairy Cattle Breeding and the USDA’s Animal Improvement Programs Laboratory
