This CBC article reads like a tourism brochure for the US travel industry. Not one mention of the boycott.
The article says that if you travel to Montana you can buy one beer and get one free.

Look, you can have low taxation or you can have functioning public services. You can't have both. Lots of people, including the UK government, seem to have forgotten this fact. Taxation isn't theft. It's the foundation of society.

Do tax increases cover the cost of our $11b infrastructure backlog? Or do they put off until tomorrow what is cheaper to do today? We can make responsible decisions today or we can continue unsustainable austerity budgets that undermine our children’s future.
The 2026 City of Ottawa budget is a balanced, responsible approach that provides stability in a period of economic uncertainty, keeps tax increases low to protect affordability, and invests significantly in what matters most to you: public safety, public transit, affordable housing,...

It’s really important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of ACTUAL EVIDENCE that they’re better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced.

Safe bike-lanes mean business.

Wab Kinew's gov't tabled bill 50 in Manitoba that won't allow any future provincial gov't to use the notwithstanding clause for provincial legislation without going through the courts first. This is what a true leader does for his constituents. Alberta's and Quebec's leadership pale in comparison.

$300 of benefits to every $1 spent. That is the Benefit Cost Ratio of Bike lanes supporting bikes in urban areas.

$0.33 of benefits to every $1 spent. That is the BCR of 15 of the 17 Roads of National Significance

Forget EVs. Cycling is revolutionising transport

Trump knows- loved or hated he will be remembered longest for his changes to the White House. I unreasonably hope the next president will, without fanfare or announcement, begin the process of removing everything the orange idiot has built or changed on the people’s house

Respect for opinions is how we ended up with anti-vaxxers, climate denial, and creeping fascism.

Respect your opinion? Nah. Respect is earned. If your opinion is indistinguishable from a Goebbels speech, I owe it the same respect I owe a fart in an elevator.

I am begging Canadians to understand that Canada Post, like public transit, should not be a business - it's a service.

Canada Post is a lifeline for rural, remote and Northern communities and overall, we need to re-evaluate why people think they "need" random shit delivered ASAP.
The government is reducing service standards and Canada Post’s biggest advantage: its nationwide network.

This plan is about cutting back the postal service instead of investing to give it new revenue tools through things like postal banking. It’s shameful.

"In Canada, vehicles are used for a mere 380 hours annually out of 8,760 possible hours, a staggering 4% utilisation rate. 😱 Yet we've built entire civilisations around this massive inefficiency, dedicating roughly 350 square feet of land per car at both origin and destination."

In a world of eight billion people, we've somehow convinced ourselves that the solution to freedom is one billion cars sitting idle for 95% of their existence. While we debate electric versus fossil f...

Thank you Connor! I DID NOT KNOW THIS. Now I know how to say Get the fuck out of my phone to dirty ai.

Always remember to type "-ai" at the end of all your Google searches. I forgot to this time, and it wasted a ton of water to be as wrong as it could possibly be.

The AI revolution is garbage.

It needs to be said… Justin Trudeau is a class act and masterful politician. Stepping down was a tough moment, I’m sure. But he absolutely made the right call to keep Canada where Canada needs to be.
