Easy. Musk will just lie harder.
I don't see how Tesla's Model 3 can survive if Benz can offer an alternative EV this cheap, with this kind of performance, on top of the 15% tariff that it's charged in the US.

Imagine what this model does to Tesla in Europe, where Benz pays no tariffs.

This is Boundary Road at Still Creek and the Central Valley Greenway from 1908, just a hundred and 17 years ago. Absolutely unrecognizable. So sad what has been lost. Let's work on restoring the land and Still Creek over the next 100 years. search.heritageburnaby.ca/list?objectT...

Police brutality has failed to create safety for 250+ years, and it will fail this time too.

Cutting jobs and slashing the arts will make life less affordable.

Budget day for the City of Vancouver!

Juuuuust a reminder, the police have horses. The Vancouver aquatic centre is crumbling there are signs at my kids soccer field (which the club pays the city to use) saying “end of life…not maintained…use at own risk”

…but you know, let’s fund the horses.

It’s an interesting approach to provide clarity on a tanker ban while failing to meet with the Coastal First Nations despite repeated requests - the community that would be directly affected by any spill - while having dozens or more meetings with fossil fuel lobbyists, AB, Sask.

The only right size for Tyson is zero. They are a horrible company in a horrible industry.
Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business.

The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay.

It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders.

Textbook corporate greed.

There isn’t much in this year’s federal budget for First Nations policing, even though Justin Trudeau promised to draft legislation for it back in 2020.

So, the committee of Indigenous and Northern Affairs heard from witnesses on Monday to discuss it.
