Government just refused Canada Post’s plea for a forced contract vote. Arbitration proceedings on the way. 🍿0

What would be your percentage of useful/junk mail that you get from CP? I say 85% junk. We check at home for the few random gov / insurance type mail that still come physically by mail, and of course jury duty summons - wouldn't want to miss that and have to pay 1000$ fine lol.

He’d probably give y’all fifty electoral votes, fifty congresspeople, two senators…and let you keep your anthem, Parliament , PM, health care, all for free…and if the Oilers win, then hey, why the heck not? What could possibly be more valuable with your dollar? Independent States have significant identity and diversity.
What is the matter with you?Guessing the tongue in cheek humor is lost on you.
Behind most HUMOR is a percent of truth. I challenged Canadians to calculate the value of fifty electoral votes, fifty congressmen, two senators, perhaps more, which would be open to negotiation, while maintaining significant independence. That has significant value
anyone following politics certainly understands that America has a problem, which is not my fault nor my fellow Democratic voters. We have tens of millions of voters in rural and exurban America, who are not reachable to Democrats.
In addition to not knowing how to reach these voters, Democrats do not even know what to say. All we need to look at is what is said on this forum. Democrats have replied to extremism with their version of extremism, and it ain’t working with the majority of voters.The liberal movement is lost in the weeds, and we could use all the help we could get. But go on you being you, and let’s all root for the Oilers to win!
How many of you Americans heard him say Mexico was paying for a border wall and actually believed that? lolHe is a lot more than that. That comment is very reminiscent of for the last four years,Those that underestimated Trump and created this mess.He is a man of negotiation. That’s the point of my comment that everyone missed. Am I being realistic? No, not really. But if that was tried, you might’ve made him happy. Maybe it would’ve led to a deal with zero boundaries being redrawn . Probably not. But one thing it would’ve done is it would’ve bought us all time until his term runs out. And it would’ve made him happy for indulging himInstead of thinking about the psychology of trump, your leaders and you guys ran to your corner, hated all Americans, and you refuse to see the sunlight right in front of your eyes. That’s not on mePost edited by Lerxst1992 on0 -
the Mexico paying for the wall is part of his schtik. He thinks that makes his followers happy and they all get a laugh about it. Like so many people on the left have no clue about Trump. It’s amazing0
