The kinds of things you tell children as advice or to encourage them are directly opposed to Poilievre's messaging. Let's think about the usual type of things:

Stay in school; conservatives are anti-education
Be kind; his strategy is anger and division
Stay safe; tough on crime, because it is out of control (and its Trudeau's fault)
You can do anything; (you can't do anything because) Canada is broken

CPC values are literally inappropriate for children.

Yeah, if I were a doctor in the US, I'd choose a slight, even moderate, pay cut over getting thrown in prison (if lucky, and not just disappeared) for treating patients who need treatment.

Tesla does not have dealerships in the sense of dealerships being middleman franchises that have their own owners. Tesla is direct to consumer, meaning Tesla owns its stores.

I'm not saying this to negate what you said, rather to emphasize that the "suspicious" sales were not the act of some rogue local dealership owners, they are the actions of Tesla itself.

You might possibly be interested in checking out the YouTube channel MyDeepGuide. Guy does in-depth reviews ofbmostly e-ink writing tablets, which perhaps is more functionality than you're looking for, but some of those manufacturers also do standalone "just" readers. Or maybe you'll be convinced to get a writing tablet :p

For a serious response to your probably hypothetical question, I would give enough leeway to consider mental illness if the attack was truly random and the victim happened to be a hijabi. Of course, that would have to be substantiated with a medical history and what the ("alleged") perpetrator said at the time of the attack, as the article is not specific about that.

I also hate attack ads, but... Is it really an attack ad if you simply play the recording of what someone else said without editing it to make it worse (because it's already sufficient bad in its whole, truthful self)?

I'm saying everyone should have equal freedom to wear the headwear they want to wear or not wear, regardless of whether it's for fashion, cultural, or religious reasons.

Yes, we do eventually find out what G stands for.

As bad as American prisons are, they are not on the scale as being deported (is that even the right word in this case?) to what amounts to a concentration camp in a foreign country without any process.

Firefly and Pushing Daisies are staples in these conversations, so I'll throw in a less common one: NCIS LA.

I watched that show for over a decade. It was something predictable and comfortable. The show ending was like losing my favourite hoodie I've had for 14 years. Does it really impact my life? No. Do I miss it nonetheless? Yes.

A little over a year ago, a guy tried to ask me out and I'm the process said a few dumb things in an attempt to impress me. The dumbest of them all was that he was planning to buy a Cybertruck as his next vehicle. By the time he'd said this, I'd already long made up my mind about this guy. Mind, this was the period of time when Elon was just an asshole and hadn't gone full Nazi yet, but even then, this dude's choice of vehicle told me I'd made the right choice.

Theseadays I wonder if that guy ever got his idiot truck, and, whether he did or not, if he's changed his mind about it.

The lesson here isn't "they shouldn't be able to wear headwear, either", but "I should be able to wear headwear, too".
