I agree with the other two commenters. Also in my opinion, Trudeau had some good policy but terrible PR around it. The "carbon tax" should never had been called a tax from the beginning...most people got more money back, but everyone thought they were paying the tax. And Trudeau grew up in politics on the public stage. He took advantage of his privelige at times and wasn't always careful with the optics of his actions. Too many opportunities for his opposition to criticize him and turn public favour against him.

I don't think one party consent even applies if the driver was not part of the conversation. It says it was between the woman and her friends if I'm understanding correctly.

Oh yeah I absolutely agree with you. The change has to come from the voting structure and not from individual votes in our current system. We need to push our MPs harder on this.

Or maybe how people let their hamsters run around the house in a plastic ball

It's quite easy to vote from abroad, and I agree with you...it would have been good for the article to make that small point. I'm also really hoping that they still voted. I don't think it's fair to assume they didn't, most Americans I know in Canada did vote.

Lucky enough to live in his district...he's a real one. His newsletters really show his humanity in dealing with complex issues.

Be aware, Vancouver Sun is US-owned.

Pirates of Coffee near the airport is AMAZING. I go out of my way to visit when I fly in or out of Pearson

But doesn't it depend on how power is distributed in the US? I don't think it's centralized...I believe it's very regional. So any impact would be felt by the PNW alone...and I don't see Trump caring at all if Washington State is complaining to him about energy prices. It might actually work to the benefit of oil and gas states, which would have the opposite effect.

I may be wrong, but just pointing out that it's more complex than just "imports" and "exports"

Two Parrots Bar and Grill ...and Tim Hortons. So take that for what it's worth.

"Transit" app looks neat to replace Google maps for public transit and walking directions. Going to give it a try!
