How conservatives hate a party that keeps buying them pipelines is beyond me.

But looking at the Fairy Creek resistance I think Carney is underestimating how many people are willing to physically fight to protect the environment. The RCMP have really only been dealing with non-violent protestors. People who believed the government would step in and do what's right. When that faith is gone all bets are off.

A lot of British Columbians are looking south at Washington to California and wondering if we have more in common with them than Ontario... and Carney is certainly not helping.

A Towelie towel is actually pretty cool.

I don't hate the characters. But after re-watching the series 3+ times I generally skip Mr. Henkey episodes. Towelie has grown on me.

I submitted to c/southpark

Thank you for trying!

Literally me. Tegridy made his older episodes feel like less of a dig at stoners.

Xenophobia (jk)

Annexationphobia actually.

But for real, I just wanna interact with more Canadians. Plus they way Matt & Tray consistently portray Canadians is hilarious and I can't be the only Canadian who thinks so.

Noooooo lol. The only south park merch I have is a touque. I actually like old Towelie episodes more now that he's been put to good use on Tegridy farms.

I'm also an NDP voter that voted LPC over CPC. I knew we wouldn't get Value(s) Carney, but I do believe that if anyone is going to shift capitalism in a better direction it would be him.

As a former bouncer I completely disagree that silence is a sign of weakness or subservience. That's just good tact. Never argue with an idiot, they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Elbows Up doesn't mean you should draw a penalty. You're supposed to hit them hard and get away with it.

As far as the DST. I find it interesting that a tax we never collected is being framed as a loss we deserve compensation for.

A month ago I thought bills C-2 & C-5 were overreach, and their lack of oversight definitely is... I wrote several letters to that effect. But given the continuation of Trumps annexation rhetoric, I now recognize those bills were designed for a political environment that is still burgeoning.

Based on Trumps usage of ICE I believe it's inevitable that the USA will use domestic crossings to affect some form of hybrid war against Canada. Russia & China will certainly occupy northern Canada if we don't rapidly expand our national infrastructure.

These threats, I believe, do justify deprioritizing environmental concerns, to a degree.

I think the silver lining is that Carney's energy expansion in to oil/gas is not mutually exclusive with expanding renewable energy.

I also sold mortgages for a short time and saw the industry change more in 24 months than 24 years. I agree that the least harmful economic solution to housing is to freeze housing prices where they are until cost of living and supply normalize. The alternative of housing prices drop would have a net negative effect. The CMHC in 2014 & 15 made major changes to reduce Canadian borrowing power to avoid a post mortgage crisis of mass defaults like what we saw in the USA.

I think the world is too volatile right now to expect concrete plans that aren't heavily hedged. Carney is playing the game correctly by holding Canada's cards close and not telling his bluffs.

You do. But afaik that's just cuz pickling cucumbers are different than salad cucumbers. Personally I find the difference negligible, but pickle connoisseurs will likely disagree.

Making your own pickles is surprisingly easy FYI!

Plus once you have a pickle jar you can just add more cucumbers so you never run out!

It's sad cuz I've watching this guy pick up and put down 30 different interests all in a desperate search for external validation.

MAGA is a cult.

It's astounding how accurate this is. I spent 2016 - 2024 playing this game with a friend that I eventually cut off.

He'd parrot something insane that he didn't fact check.

I'd point out the flaws.

He'd come back with his google search results.

I'd actually read them and point out half of them disagreed with him and the other half were verifiably trash.

He'd run away from the conversation and refuse to respond to anything political I say until he forgets; cuz he never learns.
