I’m from a previous generation so for me it was my parents buying me Leisure Suit Larry 7 for Christmas.

If enough people voted, the Democrats would have given people free health care, stopped financing wars, torture and genocide, improve public transit, boost public education, and lowered the cost of groceries. If only enough people voted for the Democrats, they could be in power and bring change. They just need a super majority to install a welfare state and turn into pacifists. Of course!

Even if the tariffs are paused for a month, he’ll constantly use this as a threat now. If not saying again that we should be the 51st state.

I was already avoiding travelling to the U.S., now I’ll make sure I also avoid their products.

Even if there’s no tariffs, the U.S. has proven to be an unreliable “friend” and we should continue to diversify away from them. With friends like that, you don’t need enemies.

The US government already didn’t care what the public supports or not. They were already financing an unpopular genocide. That orange dictator is replacing key people with idiots loyal to him and his cause. So it won’t get better.

Times and times again people have defended that orange turd, saying we were misinterpreting, or he was joking, or that he couldn’t do that, only for him to do it, and get away without any consequences.

If you think this is not a serious possibility, you have not been paying attention.

Rule #2 says to respect the firing sequence or else you’ll blow up, but IRL those assholes don’t respect any rule and are still not exploding. Also, rules #4 says that the goal is conquering the galaxy. Maybe it’s the losers that die on Mars?

Am I too cynical to think they don’t really want to build transit infra and just make empty promises.

If any party would really want any rail project to be realized, they would announce it right after the election, not a few months before the next one.

So whatever the system we have, I am under the impression that they will find a way to just promise and never do anything about it.

Oh, I’m so surprised that any type of rail project in Canada doesn’t go according to the political announcement of the project. /s

I would love not to be cynical about this but whatever they announce is probably going to be delayed, new study needed, delayed, new study, cancelled, announced again… Then a new government and everything stalls, then another government that waits till before an election to announce a new project… rince, repeat.

I just read about the other rail project, the supposedly high speed train between Toronto and Quebec City. Well, obviously this will also be delayed if not cancelled.

I don’t know how people get to believe any of this will happen one day.

EDIT: I pasted a link that was also about the high frequency project instead of the high speed one. Or is the news confused about the projects? One or another, it’s unfortunately never going to be realized.

The hunt for the cofounders of torrent site The Pirate Bay was a lengthy game of cat-and-mouse, spanning several continents. In the end, Fredrik Neij, Peter Sunde and Gottfrid Svartholm all ended up in prison.
