Very based of the Carney government IMO. The most ‘elbows up’ stance would be to intentionally reject former American influences and purposefully adopt more British spellings in standard Canadian English.

Our sovereignty and cultural identity isn’t under threat from the UK, it is under threat from the USA.

Bonus: we could use the phrase “speak the King’s English” more often - its one step away from monocles being back in fashion.

If it makes you feel better, Colt seems to be owned by a Czech company now.

Based on the kind of person I was at 16, no thanks.

I have three, I’m a car enthusiast. I want to enjoy my car without the entirety of society being required to own them to exist.

Even if the dream is achieved and taking my car is more expensive and slower than public transit (which it should be), I’d still drive most of the time because I actually enjoy it. I’d rather not share the road with people that also actually want to be there. It’d be a safer and more pleasant experience.
