As I mentioned at length in this thread last month -- when I also expressed my fear of annexation and was pooh-poohed for it by some here -- the auto industry in North America is completely intertwined. Hurt any one of us, and the other 2 will suffer as well.

True -- even fully bilingual, native French-speaking Montrealers probably wouldn't have heard of Monty Python. I grew up in Eastern Ontario in the 70s and 80s, immersed in 5 cultures -- Québécois, French Parisian, English Canadian, American and British. In those days, that meant TV, movies and...
This is the "Hey Jude" of Joni's oeuvre, along with "Both Sides Now". I prefer her jazz period, 1975-80, supported by Metheny and Pastorius (!!!), but Blue, Hissing of Summer Lawns and Court and Spark are fantastic transitional albums.

I only know Great Big Sea... but then again, I haven't really kept up with contemporary music since roughly 1995.😄
To me, Great Big Sea are Figgy Duff v2!

Anything by Joni Mitchell, The Tragically Hip, Beau Dommage, Harmonium, The Guess Who, Daniel Bélanger, Corneille, Rush...
Then I could give you a list of several dozen more artists who are very well-known in English and/or French Canada, but not so much abroad or by those under 50, lol

The sane Canadians among us (there is a MapleMAGA element, mostly in the Western provinces) will be voting strategically to elect Carney. He's Keynesian, a committed social democrat who, as you mention, has also been sounding the alarm for years re: climate change. That will unfortunately mean...

Awesome! If you're going through the National Capital Region, perhaps one of us from the Ottawa BHAFC chapter could give you a tour. :)
All I can add to your last message is that there are invariably 10 positive, but silent opinions for every squawker, lol

Meh, not so much, unless you're consuming news from conservative outlets like Global Media/Corus or Conrad Black's media toys.
Our point of comparison has been the US since before Confederation; based on their current situation, and with Trump stoking Canadian nationalism with his puerile...
Canada's been processing approx. 200 000 - 300 000 qualified immigrants/year for a generation, now -- that's close to 1% of the total population/year. This began with a Conservative government; even they saw the potential for old-age pension payout disaster in the 2030s and decided to...
Hands off, Hammers! I've been saying for years that BHAFC should sign Jonathan David -- he's a pure striker who even beat out Mbappé for top Ligue 1 goal scorer a few years back.
Not only is he French-Canadian, but he grew up and played his youth 'soccer' right here in Ottawa-Gatineau. He and...
