I do not know Idaho, but I agree it is an awful reason. It is soul wrenchingly stupid. It has reduced my faith in humanity and decreased my fear of a comet.

Someone in my family wants this to happen because it will make travelling to their favourite restaurant easier.

This will require strengthening domestic manufacturing, [...] develop[ing] workforce resilience, domestic capacity and innovation right here at home. [...] The solution lies in strengthening Canadians’ right to repair the products and devices we rely upon.

I found this overly strong at first, but it holds water. If there's a market for it that means a domestic capacity for it and related technical, manufacturing-adjacent things.

DIY repair has saved me a lot of money and headache, and saved a lot of stuff from landfill. It should be an easy sell, but with everything going towards a subscription model - overtly or covertly - we aren't supposed to own things anymore. I would expect the balance of lobby money to be on the other side of this issue every time.

The New Order was enjoyable vengence porn against Nazis, it's a good time; maybe I need that again!

I've been playing the heck out of Harebrained Schemes' BattleTech; I haven't binge-played like this in a long time. It never feels fair; 2-1 odds is typical, but it's always possible. Pretty satisfying to overcome unfair situations. Makes me feel smart and capable! Plus, jumpy stompy robots!
