I mean Scotland Yard is just the Met, like the London Metropolitan Police. They aren't a federal force, although locals do call them feds. The NYPD is the largest employer of intelligence operators in the world, it's not like the RCMP is unique in running a CIP division.

Best Buy has refurbished PC's with 4070s for under a grand right now.

Lol give them Labrador and call it a day. They have ten years to improve it and build a society or leave.

Over 400 years and still never managed to unlock this achievement.

Same boat here bud, there are more than a few of us. I love my countrymen, our heritage, and the people who come to help us build a great new world for all. Canada and the US are the same this way, we both have amazing people, but our governments are a bit shit.

Because the Canadian federal government is just three resource companies in a trench coat.

Just abolish the damn border and establish a common immigration system. Both Canada and the US have deeply flawed immigration systems, by opening internal borders and switching to a common scheme both countries have a politically less decisive time to renew and update immigration schemes. By working together with a common border we can save significant resources in both countries.

As it stands both Canada and the US allow their border officers to perform inland enforcement actions, by working together we could still police and patrol the border (open does not mean unsecured) for drugs, guns etc. Heck, inspection stations like you see when entering California could be an option at high volume crossings, they exist in the EU too and are opened and closed depending on current events.

Unfortunately it is also still the relavent medical term in Canada and the US, and anywhere that uses the DSM for mental health diagnostics. Blame the APA.

I have an idea for an Anti India activity we could partake in, they assassinated a Canadian in Canada. Sounds like grounds for some saber rattling over NATO article 50, maybe some vague threats to India, and a renewed investment in our armed forces. Sends a message, avoids any real violence, and gives the governments of either country an easy out.

Here's a thought, I see options being thrown around all over like renouncing visas and such, but would assassinating a Canadian citizen in Canadian soil qualify for NATO article 50? A firm reminder from Canada about our key position within NATO (and a reinvigorated conviction to spending in that area) would give Trudeau an easy out, and send a firm message to India without needing to actually invoke the articles.

It's the usual response to one nation directly undermining the sovereignty of another. If this were my home country of Romania it would be a defacto déclaration of war under our laws. The fact that Canada is being so chill about a foreign power affecting Canadian internal affairs is actually surprising.
