I am buying some vintage rare items and unfortunately the selection in Canada is very limited. The USA has lots of choice. I bought an item which came from the US. It used the Ebay global shipment program. I got a tracking number, it cleared customs and it was being delivered by DHL...

I think you are right. The company started going down when it was bought by an American investor. Also the new CEO was not investing in the stores.

There are far more overpriced stores like Harry Rosen, Holt and Renfrew, and Nordstrom. How are they surviving?

Not surprised by this. Canada is very divided and this wanting to separate is proof of that. Both parties got over 40% of the votes. Alberta is not being representated by the LIberal government. They have their own unique set of needs like Quebec does. Having said that, I concur with Gaby that...

The election was decided by Trump, same thing happened in Australia. Even though the Conservatives lost they still have over 40% of the votes. In the Carleton riding the win was narrow, 50.9% to the Liberals and 45.7% to the Conservatives which mean that the riding is divided in almost half. As...

^^^^ With this I agree with you. Carney gets points in my book for not joining with the NDP.

https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/article/conservative-mp-gives-up-seat-for-pierre-poilievre-to-run-in-byelection/ ^^^^ A Conservative MP will resign his seat in the Battleriver riding in Alberta to make way for Poilievre. Carney will call a byelection ASAP. In the meantime the Conservatives will...

https://www.cicnews.com/2025/04/breaking-what-the-liberals-have-in-store-for-canadas-immigration-policy-0454488.html#gs.lzw9ic ^^^^ The Carney Liberals latest plan for immigration is to reduce it to sustainable levels to about 1% growth annually which is where it used to be before Trudope...

https://www.ctvnews.ca/federal-election-2025/article/terrebonne-riding-flips-from-the-liberals-back-to-the-bloc-after-validation-process/ ^^^^ After a vote recount, the Terrebonne riding flipped back to the Bloc. Not that it will make much of a different for either party.

Well he won a minority so his position is on shaky ground. He can get a majority by offering the NPD cabinet positions. But still the people voted him because to them Trump is more important then the issues affecting Canada. They think a banker/economist can deal with it the best. Knowing this...

They do. Poilievre personality and style is the issue. He is too eddy and rough and too right-wing. I am certain if Jean Charest won the leadership race for the CPC the results of the election would have been much more different. The party needs a more centrist but strong leader. O'Toole was the...

Agreed. Just to show how much the country is divided. Carney will have to deliver and the NDP is in shambles. He is on shaky ground. We will see how things are in 1-2 years.

Agreed time for us to move on. Besides this party is irrelevant, no matter which leader they have they will never win any major influence in the house of commons.

My prediction is that Carney will offer cabinet positions to the NDP to secure a majority. He only needs three seats to secure a majority. Looks like it will be the Liberals for the next four years. Just hope Carney will be pragmatic and not some misguided ideological fool like Trudope was.

Yea me too. Like Trudope who got away with it all, any regular civilian would be in jail if they committed the same crimes but also the same for the Orange man. Yep I did mention it to Neverbored. There are more important issues besides the Orange man like the housing crisis which is a very...
