it is not a bad thing if canada post runs a deficit. it should not be expected to operate on a for-profit basis in the first place, it's a government service, it's not a business.

it should be restructured with the expectation of structural losses and for the benefit of citizens, not profit.
polievre, very strangely, has an upper class massachusetts accent.



i actually agree that carney is more like trump than polievre, and i'm no fan of polievre (i basically grew up in his riding, fwiw.). 

americans take heed: carney is actually very obama-like in a lot of ways, including his mannerisms, his slogans and the fact that he's a conservative that tricked the country into thinking he was a moderate. polievre, on the other hand, is actually more like george hw bush, or perhaps john mccain - he's an older style of conservative that has gone out of fashion in the united states as of late, but is not that far from where joe biden was on the spectrum.

canadians know what equalization is. it's when have provinces send money to have not provinces. if that is how trump wants to lower drug prices, it's good old fashioned wealth redistribution via taxing the rich and would be a better drug system than we have in canada, which americans never seem to realize has the second most expensive drug costs in the developed world.

trump also likes our immigration system.

in fact, trump's family is from canada. 

he likes canada so much he wants to marry it. the problem was that trudeau made him feel inadequate as a male and had to go.
