But that would not imply staying in power, unless you say "trump is trying to use this issue to stay in power" because he is not immediately stepping down as president early, which he has the ability to

at least I assume he can do it, since democrats were begging biden to do it so that you could have your first female president if only briefly
He said he was not running as leader again
In practice, it is only used two ways
one, normally, where the election is vaguely every 4 years
or two, as a power move "I want to do this thing, and I believe so strongly the public will support it so winning this election will be a mandate to proceed"
It in theory gives a governement who perhaps only won a minority government, but did enough to earn public support, to shift into a majority government by earning more seats, allowing them to pass laws easier
Since you guys do not really have the same notion of minority and majority government, such a system does not really make sense in the US, but it is logical for our system
I think the frustration is that 2/3 of the money was promised away while Biden was a lame duck president
and now Trump and the Dep of Commerce would rather control where it goes
the actual issue with the chips act, is still that the TSMC fab is a mess, and the federal government doesn't know what they want other than "China bad"

^literally nonsense for the record
Pika, do you even want to keep Alberta though?
Nonsense in that this is the equivalent to some no name US senator saying they are going to do something that obviously will never happen
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 Pika, do you even want to keep Alberta though?
I think the second a single province leaves, the country collapses
yeah but do you want Alberta specifically
ig I'm curious if you're doing tiers, which provinces do you actually care about losing
Alberta is more important
least important province is probably Manitoba
I assume at some level you'd be fine as long as Ontario and Quebec stuck it out together
can't lose the French charm after all
give her time
They don't
and I thought this was a politican, not some shitter lawyer
yeah this is literally nothing being advertised because its good for the US newscycle
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 I assume at some level you'd be fine as long as Ontario and Quebec stuck it out together
If any province leaves, I think the country collapses. At that point, I would rather each province just become a micronation
as opposed to trying to form some weird coalition
