@mirgray @JanTheMan2010 There are a fair number of legacy Canadian brands now own by US entities, some with production still in Canada, some not. Eg Habitant soup is owned by Campbell’s and made in US. That’s what 40 years of free trade will do.

@JanTheMan2010 The chips as folks unravel its corporate history and location of its plants. (Now US owned, perhaps select products still made in Canada)

Old Dutch is trending in Canada, but is it the potato chip or the scouring powder?

You bolt awake in a dimly lit server room. You are not online. It is October 29, 1969. You are Leonard Kleinrock, and you have changed your mind. Computers must never be networked.

@David_Moscrop …sell out Ontario to a *Nazi* over a Canadian business (Telsat) based in Ontario. wtf.
English
Big time. And Doug Ford should cancel the Starlink deal he made with Elon to sell out Ontario.
Chris Berthelot 🇨🇦@DebatingChris
@David_Moscrop We should also target the rest of Elon's businesses. Starlink, etc. If Elon wants to get politically involved, he can get financially involved too.

NEW: Several top FBI executives promoted by ex-Director Wray (including officials who oversee the bureau's criminal and cyber investigations) have been told to resign or retire and that they'll be demoted or reassigned if they don't leave.
The senior officials are career civil servants — meaning they can't be fired without cause. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…

@ALL_CAPS I'm awaiting Orleans nomination. The website doesn't list a candidate. I guess they could...

Ce fut un plaisir pour moi et conseillers @GeorgesDarouze, @SteveDesroches, @catherinekitts, @PlanteSteph613 et Luloff de rencontrer la présidente du Conseil du Trésor et ministre des Affaires francophones @C_Mulroney pour discuter d’enjeux importants pour les résidents d’Ottawa et notre communauté francophone. It was a pleasure for me and my councillor colleagues @GeorgesDarouze, @SteveDesroches, @catherinekitts, @PlanteSteph613 and Luloff to meet with the President of the Treasury Board and Minister of Francophone Affairs @C_Mulroney to discuss important issues for Ottawa residents and our francophone community.

@ABetterOttawa Maybe Sutcliffe can fill the shortfall by imagining another level of government will step in and build 500 new affordable homes?

It is with a heavy heart that I retweet the sad news that our beloved Theodore has sunk

Canada’s beloved tugboat character, Theodore Too, has sunk while docked at @ONShipyards. Vessel owner Blair McKeil offered the following statement this evening on the boat’s status. @CTVNews @CBCNews @TheSpec @WellandTribune @DaveJ_Tribune

Considering it's peak dead battery season, I'll leave this here as a cautionary tale: if Canadian Tire makes a mistake and sells you the wrong battery you're on the hook and there's basically nothing you can do about it.
English
Monday rolls around and I attempt to call…and you can not get through to this guy via his direct extension or the parts counter. The closest I've got to contact over 2 days was to be placed on hold and then they hang up after 10 minutes.
English
My local @CanadianTire is a disaster. My mom's car battery died last week. As a good son I went to the local CT (Heron and Bank for #Ottawa folks - you know the one.) Ask the parts counter for compatible battery, pay for it, and leave.
