I'm pretty sure Utakata knows that. The Beaverton's satire is pretty spot on, and sometimes hits perfect notes

Canada can’t rely on the US, a country that is trampling on its own democracy at home, and abusing other democracies abroad. The government’s move to reset trade relations with China reflects a practical response to that reality, “the world as it is, not as we wish it to be.”...

First time I've been impressed by Nate Erskine-Smith. With Canadians seeing clearly what populism and idiotic incompetence looks like south of the border, intelligent competence seems to be en vogue.

According to a new study by the Environics Institute, 80% of Canadians say they have trust in Prime Minister Mark Carney.

The contrast between Doug Ford and NES will serve the latter well in this environment. We may be seeing the end of folksy populism. I just wish we didn't have to wait another 3 years to see the end of Fordism.

He got a bit of a raw deal federally. He was appointed to Cabinet in March. He did the ethical thing and sold his holding to avoid conflict of interest.
He showed up Mark Carney and was removed from Cabinet in late April after the post-election cabinet formed.
Hopefully that's a sign that we won't be nearly as corrupt as Ford.

What does a Tesla or Kia EV have over a Chinese one? None are made in Canada. Let the market decide.
And what happened to reducing interprovincial trade? Will we ever see BC wines in the LCBO?

If I try to send a case of Lightning Rock wine to a customer in Ontario? We’d face a 71% markup from the LCBO, 13% HST, a container fee, and the threat of regulatory action unless we operate in a legal grey zone. I’ve offered to collect and remit HST or PST depending on the province, a simple, honest fix. But no government has acted.

The Chinese increasingly don’t want them, so the Tesla Shanghai plant needs a market.
