PM Justin Trudeau's Canada

[afransen]

I don't think the Liberals will be reduced to 2 seats like Mulroney did to the Conservatives, but they could easily be down to 20-30 unless they turn things around massively from recent polling (which they won't, because they have zero credibility any more when they say they will fix problems - having been in power for 10 years, they own Canada's problems, and any solutions presented now are viewed as too little, too late).

I think if Trudeau resigned, it would give Liberals with Trudeau fatigue some cover to vote for them as an effective opposition to PP. A lot of people are convinced that Trudeau is needed to defend the Liberal Quebec caucus, but honestly, they are toast anyway.

A CPC NDP coalition would be fun.

No tears here for businesses having to do a few extra clicks.

The multiple examples in the preceding post belies your argument that it is just "a few extra clicks".

The best way to work with Trump is 'man to man' (leader to leader). He is going for dinner not 'meetings'.

Big Macs all 'round!

Agree that it is a good move. There is a massive ego that needs to be stroked.

Trudeau can pick it up enroute. You just know that the below route is well taken.

Palm Beach International Airport to Mar-a-Lago Club

As much as we find our PM vapid and ineffective, Trudeau is seen globally as the face of Canada. I expect the French feel the same about Macron, asking we hate this tool, why do you all like him?

Perhaps using a different code would help me.

It might be less of an issue for corporate retailers who have centralized data management but for smaller retailers, re-coding or even just knowing what's in and what's out will be challenging. If the earlier link is accurate, if a bottle of wine for personal use is exempt but one as a gift is taxable, how the heck does a retailer deal with that? Imagine the line-ups at an LCBO before Christmas as the purpose of every bottle is parsed, or will they simply give up and key the no-tax option?

I don't know a lot of IT but know that, often, a 'simple little change', isn't.

I can confirm retailers probably dread these kinds of changes. Especially as it is unlikely to drive any truly incremental spending.

I'm a web developer, and worked for a retailer for 8 years. The changes will be tedious, but it's not complex.

It has deferred spending though. We’ve put off our Christmas shopping for a fortnight until the GST break.
