I have absolutely no love for Poilievre whatsoever, but listen to his answer to the question:

Do you accept [Musk's] endorsement?

He very specifically doesn't say yes at any point. He starts off by saying that going to Mars is the ambition of a toddler. He goes on to say "I hope Tesla opens some factories in Canada so that Canadians can benefit". He calls doubt on the notion that a meeting with Musk is ever even in the realm of possibilities.

For people who hate Poilievre, I challenge you to really listen to what he says here. He's dissing Musk, actually pretty harshly.

One way it could happen is the CPC limits CBC resources every year, forcing it to gradually degrade, & increasingly rely on advertisers. Then when the plug is finally pulled, it won't seem so bad, because it's so degraded anyway. A lot of damage could be done in the span of a few years.

I don't want this to happen, but I think it's what might happen.

Also, consider from the article:

The McGill study says only 40 percent of rural Canadians are satisfied with their local coverage

I don't think the CPC as a party is strong per se. A baboon could be the leader of the CPC and they'd be polling about the same, maybe even better. People just hate the Liberals that much. And when pocketbooks get tight, that's the way it goes. Though, whether the CPC actually has the ability to govern and solve the economic problems people want solved, is another question.

Haha that's an understatement. Whoever wins this public and likely acrimonious leadership race, earns the prize of the most painful political week imaginable. Make speech from the throne, then get immediately ass blasted from every direction until the government falls. It's a suicide mission.

All those Cabinet ministers who suddenly wanted to be with their families instead of being in Cabinet, they saw something in the tea leaves.

I have to wonder, after all that's happened, if he hasn't resigned by now, or even shown any signs that he is chastened at all, what could give us cause to expect that he would ever choose to resign?

And so, for Trudeau, what would even be the point of prorogation? If it didn't happen on the day of the Chrystiapocalypse, why now, or ever?

What reason do we have to believe that Trudeau won't simply strut into the next election, full of self confidence?

No, no, the next election will clearly be a manufactured referendum on hair, the Liberals would be doing just fine if Poilievre wasn't calling people names /s

Da comrade, da. It's late in Moscow. Get some rest, you've been working hard.

Da comrade.

Have you filled your post quota for the day yet?

Cool, I'll check this out! I assumed that since it was branded as 'like a dragon', it had the turn-based combat style, but it doesn't, which I think is good. Turn based combat in Yakuza doesn't look very fun so I've been avoiding those titles.

A Yakuza game set during the Meiji Restoration would slap.

Fun fact, the H&K G11 is prohibited by name in Canada. Only 1000 prototypes were ever produced, exclusively for military trials in Germany, and the project was mothballed in the early 90s after the Warsaw Pact dissolved.
