Less outright tyranny, more personal embarrassment: Think they got the jet working and finally flew out afterwards, but geez, what a screw-up Doughboy and his administration are!

Knowing them, Biden and the Dems probably don't want cheaper oil at all. If anything, they probably want it hecka' expensive to keep pushing their climate-change crap. :sneaky: As of right now, I think sending US troops across the border to prop up Trudeau's regime is too brazen for even them...

Just wanna' leave this here: Dunno' much about the Indigenous Games, but clearly, it was only a matter of time before Doughboy got booed in public! :LOL:

Funny, but a couple years old now (Fall 2021), so I suspect it's somehow gotten worse since then. :rolleyes: Having said that: I have to wonder what Trudeau probably thinks behind closed doors? Probably still a Lefty Globalist who's mostly on board with the larger agenda, but probably rolling...

Yeah, well… They could stand to do a way better job of keeping the Greens at bay, starting yesterday. :rolleyes: Besides that, I think it’d be a step forward if the arsonists who might’ve set fire to these forests were caught, convicted, and maybe even sued for everything they have to...

The arsonist in question:

So... Basically, another reason to take the word of conservationists who personally maintain the land and wildlife they care about over that of Lefty environmentalists? Honestly, that's increasingly the sense I get, whether we're talking Canada or elsewhere. Maybe not on the "short-term"...

Sorry to hear that. Upon reflection, I might’ve come across as a bit snooty when using the term “Stalinist”, for which I apologize. Even so, can’t say I’m comfortable with mass-coercion to solve the problems you describe, despite how that’s inevitably how more and more people will feel — and...

Color me curious as to how you’d enforce that? Other than, you know, Stalinist mass-deportations in which tons of people are forcibly deported or expelled from their current homes. Granted, I’m sure many would move voluntarily if US states and Canadian provinces self-segregated along...

Yeah… As Americans, you and I hear about National Divorce all the time, even if not much of anything in the way of “concrete” (other than counties wanting out from certain states) has been realized yet. Canada, on the other hand, seems much more serious about it and is barreling in that...

Yeah, but as "slanted" as CBC's coverage of the matter is, there'd probably be a heck of an outcry if a newly seceded Quebec banned English in government and commercial contexts (since lots of Quebecois still speak it regularly). Making French the official language, I can understand to an...

Anyway, back to News Up North: Bilingual cities and towns in Quebec join forces to mount legal challenge to Bill 96. Article archived here, for preservation purposes.

Very well; apologies for the tangent here.

Probably a topic for elsewhere, but zooming in on this bit: Hard disagree from me, I'm afraid. Know Hitler-worshipping fundamentalist theocrats the Wokesters fearmonger about mostly exist in their fever dreams at the moment, which I'm certainly than grateful for. But in the long term, I...

You know… Much as I hate to start on a tangent about this, I actually wonder if Right-wingers who snap might take “inspiration” from the way Muslims react whenever their faith is “challenged”? That is, they’ll start to figure that if they became as collectively violent as pissed-off Muslims by...

Probably not the place to discuss it, but there are honestly times when I wonder if a China that industrialized early and built its own colonial empire abroad would’ve behaved just as badly as (if not worse than) the European empires IOTL. After all, they seem to have had the right kind of...

The Fall of the Roman Republic, more specifically. Don’t have too many “scholarly” references handy at the moment, but if you just want the headlines, Extra Credits has a decent overview of the Gracchi and their shouty rabble-rousing, cartoony animatics and all.

Personally, I doubt things will come crashing down within only a few years, considering that the average person—tired of the status quo as they are—has no interest in violent regime change or fighting their countrymen to their death yet. Between waiting out sleazy leadership choices or a civil...
