Yes… Let’s re-open this bucket of bullshit. When they left for Ottawa, they had a written declaration and were planning on overthrowing the democratically elected government with some ridiculously ignorant idea for dissolving parliament and placing themselves in control.

This is too stupid to not be plain old grift.

Is it me, or is PP just sucking Trump’s dick every time he opens his mouth?

I’m no fan of Trudeau’s since he shitcanned electoral reform after bathing in the applause of citizens from across the country for months after saying that election would be the last one under FPTP.

Having said that… PP could show us how smart he is by whipping out his big balls and telling us EXACTLY what he’d do to change things, complete with a costed budget. But he hasn’t. And he won’t. Because he’s full of shit.

How do I know he’s full of shit? Because Thug Ford ran the same sort of campaign (Buck a beer folks!!) and just look at how he’s fucking with the entire province - specifically health care and education, to the benefit of his friends in private industry.

Tax the fuck out of rental income, and increase the property taxes for investor-owned or foreign-owned homes to commercial rates, then hit them again with a pre-tax that increases at a rate 2x of inflation. We’ll stomp that shit out in under a decade.

It’s only inevitable if you do nothing. Call up your local political candidate and ask how you can help them win the next election.

Yeah, it sucks, but there was little I could do to change her trajectory. Her boyfriend is a far-far right oil-patch moron and former cop. I see the shit he posts on Xitter, and he’s fellating the same scammers and shitheads.

I miss the person she used to be, not who she is now.

There are no dedicated tracks for passengers trains outside major cities. If you travel between Quebec City and Windsor on Via Rail, you’re almost exclusively on freight tracks. Between Montreal and Kingston is like being shaken left and right non-stop for nearly two hours. Impossible to read a book / tablet / phone, type on a laptop – eating and drinking is difficult.

Meanwhile, the TGV/ICE trains move at over 300km/h, and the speed & motion are imperceptable, even on curves.

Yup, my Mom’s FB feed is basically her verbally fellating grifters and psychopaths, and yelling about anyone that has a clue.

I heard this term somewhere recently… Broflakes.

It fits.

but I bet the train is still more comfortable

It’s not. In business class, you’re immediately behind the engine – you get to hear it blast the horn multiple times at every crossing.

And no matter which class you’re in, the freight trains have beat the piss out of almost every set of tracks, so that when you’re at speed, it just about knocks your fillings out – nevermind the idea of actually getting any work done on paper or laptop because of the constant motion.

Your best bet is to get high/drunk before you get on the train and sleep through it.

My mother has been fooled by all of the extreme-far-right bullshit. She’s against immigration (she’s an immigrant), she’s against vaccination for “a variety of reasons”, but mostly because she thinks 99.99% of people survive COVID because her (vaccinated) 90-year-old mother did (even though it killed a dozen people in the same care home during an outbreak). She thinks the transition to ‘green power’ means we won’t have electricity after the sun goes down. She thinks the global elite will crash the economy to redistribute wealth to themselves.

She wasn’t always like this. She was a smart and savvy business owner.

This is what Russia want Canadians to be like.

If a car can be stolen with a battery-powered toy of off-the-shelf electronic parts assembled into a cute box, maybe automakers need to modernize their security.

It’s the lawyer that you need for your criminal trial that’s the expensive part.

Maybe should PP should ‘butt out’ of the conversation between doctors, parents, and minors who need puberty blockers.

I know that hypocrisy is ‘on brand’ for the far-right, but fuck, it’s annoying.

Restricting puberty blockers until after puberty is like taking birth control pills after the baby has been born.

I mean, do fans of the CPC have any functioning critical thinking? Or are they mostly just hateful nosey pricks who can’t mind their own business?

Uh, why not just keep charging them more for power? Or let them consume power in the off-peak hours? Or have them install massive battery packs to help them stabilize the grid if they want massive amounts of electricity?

There’s got to be a way for BC Hydro to make money with this.

Like, I know it’s a Toyota and all… But there’s a good chance that these 20+ year old vehicles have already been scrapped.

Feels like it goes without saying, but if you did the crime and paid the time, there’s no reason you shouldn’t be re-integrated back into society in the free-and-clear.

Sometimes physical damage (like a frayed cable on the charger, or a damaged connector) can’t be monitored remotely – but they would certainly see that a station’s usage stats have suddenly dropped, and could send someone by to check on it.
