  • until the fentanyl uverdose issue is sorted

    Ah yes, make our international relationship dependent on some nebulous, unachievable standard that you just pulled out of your ass. Make us think we’ve been the shitty trade partner and give us the cold shoulder until we prove how much we really want this.

    Trump is coming up with excuses after the fact and trying to blame us for his own toxic behaviour. Textbook abuser nonsense.




  • I love Jon Stewart but I think he’s a little off base with this take. Are we supposed to not call out the overtly fascist stuff the government is doing? Will that get more people to listen the next time we have to call out an overtly fascistic act or will we have to hold our tongue then, as well? How many grannies need to be eaten and impersonated by wolves before we’re allowed to move past the “ooh what sharp teeth you have” crap?

    With fascism especially, if you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem. The people going through life like everything is fine are implicitly supporting the fascism. I’m not going to stop yelling about how a pack of wolves has taken over the government, just because some people think the word is overused.





  • Given how the hard the postmedia gang is trying to portray this guy as an international elite who looks down his nose at common folk, I wouldn’t put it past the bootlickers over at the Edmonton Journal/Sun to pull a stunt like this.

    To be fair though, Carney’s entire campaign thus far has been focused on demonstrating humble roots in a blue-collar town. Well, Laurier Heights aint that humble. Not that a person’s upbringing is necessarily relevant to their politics anyway. But that’s my ultimate point here - none of this matters. The entire discourse is just meaningless idpol noise. Canadian politics are such a joy.
