The Montreal Canadiens, who play in Minneapolis on Monday night, have been told to stay inside their hotel at all times, take the team bus rather than walk, and carry passports.

“Perhaps we shouldn’t be hosting the World Cup and the Olympics,” one Bluesky commenter wryly noted. trib.al/J3ldiJY

Doug is relying on old, outdated, simple and stupid "vibes" because it's easy and it works.

The left is going to need to get better at doing something similar, and figuring put how to keep corporate media from ratfucking them.

I remember trying to explain to family members about Toyota Corollas made in Woodstock, ON and they'd say "well, the profit goes back to Japan" and motherfucker, where do you think the profit from your Mexican made Ford goes?

Because it ain't going to you.

There's a whole lot of people who have this fictional idea of a "better" world that frankly never really existed, and in that world people drive big Chevrolets that they made with their own hands, even though no one's made a big Chevy in Canada in thirty years.

Ford's brain, like that of a lot of his supporters, is stuck in 1982.

And yes, this includes people who were born after 1982.

Same.

Canada has Wiarton Willy and, sadly, a number of climate change denying dipshits.

Doug Ford's percentage on that chart is extremely frustrating to see.

That said, the absence of Michael Chong, Erin O'Toole or Jean Charest (who's admittedly a bit old) is interesting.

Remember like 15 years ago, when Russian dash cams of horrible accidents went viral? And everyone in Russia was using them because they couldn’t trust the authorities? Fundamentally, the dash cam and the body cam are the visual record of a failed state. They are a symptom posing as a substitute

It'd probably be a different story if GM had continued to make half-ton trucks in Oshawa, or if Ford have the Explorer to Oakville when the Flex's run ended.

Other than the Chrysler minivans and (long ago) overflow Equinoxes, most of the Big3 stuff made here were models that sold very little or were on borrowed time.

We're almost decades away from the last time a US company made a popular, mass-market car in Canada.
February 3, 2026 at 2:05 PM
A lot had to do with which vehicles are being made in Canada.

Toyota and Honda make successful, mass-market cars here: The Civic, Corolla, RAV and RX.

Ford makes the Edge, GM made a series of niche models ending with the Camaro, as well as and high-cost parts, and Chrysler made full-size sedans.

Depending on the generation of Escort, it might have been related to the contemporary Mazda 323 or Protégé under the skin.

Means-testing is, and always has been, complete bullshit.

It usually costs more to audit and means-test a public service than it does to just provide it to everyone unconditionally.
