To do what? Block energy projects needed to wean society off of oil?

Caught me off guard too. It’s quite a significant number.

Not quite true. Many homes in Canada literally were ordered from the Eaton catalogue. Truck arrives with all the components, you assemble it yourself. We used to do these things.

I have no idea. But they had amazing food haha. Ceviche and Pisco sours… I didn’t taste any asbestos or anything!

I’m going to Chile. It’s going to be awesome.

Sometimes you need to transfer there to go somewhere else.

Behold the Winnipeg Free Press, one of the last bastions… find your locally owned news and support them.

ILDU only takes people with combat experience. They aren’t equipped to spend years getting people up to speed. It isn’t a militia.

Joining the reserves and putting yourself through basic, at a minimum, would be a good start.

Calls for violence are usually illegal in Canada. It’s not the Canadian way. Well, war of 1812 notwithstanding. But it may be a good idea to channel that energy into something structured that could be useful in the future. Join a martial arts class or something and learn to direct it carefully. Enlist in the reserves. Plan for the worst, and hope for the best.

No. She should see it through so we can see platforms and not get an acclamation. Politics requires platforms, not just name brands.

I concur. I saw a truck with a flag on it the other day, and my immediate thought wasn’t “antivaxxers nutcase” this time. Well, until I saw the bumper stickers. But the point stands – there’s been a really around the flag from the centre and it feels good to wash away the associated feelings.

Seize the memes of production!

The most ridiculous thing here is the assumption that Canadians would ever be more than Puerto Ricans in this scenario.

(1) We’d only ever join under duress

(2) If democracy still exists in the US, we wouldn’t be given the vote, because we’d vote against them

(3) If democracy doesn’t exist anymore, then whether we are called a state or not is irrelevant

(4) Canada gets turned into a strip mine with everyone conscripted to go fight against Mexico or whatever Roman Empire-style nonsense follows so that we can’t organize resistance

tl;dw?

Eventually there will have to be an equilibrium. We burnt something like 5-7% of all Canadian forests last year. You can’t do that every year and still have forests to burn. The burnt areas form natural firebreaks while regrowing, which also slows things down.

One day, in the near or distant future, we will look back at blood-based and ancestry-based self-identification as being rather quaint. In the same way that sexual self-identification has changed over time.

Have another. One of our tents is sneakily in this one, the a few white pixels in top right – to give a sense of scale.

Well, your eyes would be fried well before you reach 95%. Apparently the blueshift would make quite a lot of ionizing radiation. Hard to replicate on your phone ;)
