I'm also a subscriber - and that was my initial reaction as well - but perhaps if they can get more Canadians (to whom that ad appeals) reading the Globe instead of Postmedia, we end up in a better place?
I still think it's a bad look if they just ran partisan ads supporting a specific party - I wonder how many stories they ran as promotional / paid content? Hopefully a blend of stories?
This clip by 22 minutes is pretty solid: https://youtu.be/NsFo_ZvMC8I or: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=NsFo_ZvMC8I
It'd be a much better headline inverted. (Unfortunately less clicks?)
Now that said, there's also the effect where this type of article stokes nationalism in the majority of the population - and that may play into a shift away from supporting the UCP and by extension/relation the CPC in some cases.
I'm seeing many more canadian flags on houses these days. 🇨🇦
Its especially dumb as a landlocked province...
I agree with you - those who don't like being part of Canada should leave... They can find out if the grass is in fact greener.
It's hard knowing that 1/4 to 1/3 of my fellow Albertans don't see value in being a part of Canada.
On the other hand, 3/4 to 2/3 do... So there's that!
Ah sorry about that -- Foreign Exchange rates - USD / CAD
I was heartened last week when the US pre-sales were delayed but Canada was not... However, here we are.
I wonder if FX is another factor at play here. With such volitility in the market, and almost two months until release, I can see them wanting to limit exposure to both FX and Tariffs. The easiest way to do that is to wait.
Interestingly, this tendency to wait applies to almost all business investment decisions when there is uncertainty / volitility... Leading to increased risk of recession caused by the orange man.
I got a Framework 13 a couple months ago - it's been awesome so far. I'm happy to support their business model & repairability - it's super awesome.
Sucks for you guys south of the 49th parallel who have to deal with (pay) all these ludicrous tariffs!
"I didn't ask the US to interfere in the election, I just asked them to stop doing things temporarily so that we could get a certain election outcome."
It was around Sept 2023: https://futurism.com/elon-musk-moved-twitter-servers-himself
You can also just search: "Elon Musk Twitter server move" and the terms "Sacramento" or "Pocket Knife" might help.
Purchased some local onions instead of onions from the US, along with a few other things. Salsa from Mexico. Was a small grocery run, but my purchases would have been 15% American previously - but 0% this time.
If everyone is doing this, the numbers do start to add up quickly to a meaningful impact.
That would sum it up nicely; however, It'd be unfair to not mention the 77 million Americans that voted for this clown, the 90 million people who neglected their right & responsibility to vote, and the 75 million americans who voted against him.
Voting matters...until it doesn't.
