The reality is Canada has been built up on a house of cards so flimsy the slightest mention of equivalent tariffs made Trudeau immediately fold. What seems to be the case is that Canada was putting on a brave face for a very long time. In reality their entire country's
Actually Canada's doing fine, better than we've ever been. We're doing so well in fact that we're giving free healthcare to everyone. It's not only free but even mandatory and normally a ~$700 procedure, but we're doing so well it's being done for free, in fact I'm typing this while in one of the pods myself, suck it Americans.
I even get free maids to look after me apparently.

So yah...Alberta is fucked. Royally fucked in fact.

Even if every white Albertan voted to leave they'd only have about a two thirds of the votes needed. And the scales get worse every day as more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more pajeets flood in each month to the province looking for work.

I didn’t believe that book because it has full dialogue between the people in it but is portrayed as a memoir written decades after. Can’t be accurate at all
To be fair, a lot of memoirs do. Generally the author has to make a disclaimer saying its conversations based on how they remember them, but that they might not be entirely accurate but won’t misrepresent the person. Wiesel doesn’t do that. And the fact that he wrote sequels also didn’t help the case in my mind.
On the flipped side, I have always believed Anne Frank’s diary though. Mainly because she literally does the most Jewish thing ever and writes in the diary itself that she’s only writing it so she can sell it later. I don’t believe a fake account would be that transparent. Oddly that was required reading in 5th grade and not high school though, and we got the uncensored version no less.
 
The worst part about Massie is that he knows an actual budget won't get passed because Dems want the shutdown and they will be able to do that easily to an actual budget so we have to use reconciliation to get this passed.

There is no way in hell Trump gets 60 votes in the Senate without giving up trillions to USAID tier shit why the fuck would Massie even want that to be a possibility? The other bad part is that if you get into the reconciliation process we can easily cut USAID and that sort of shit out of the budget with the numbers we have now so why is Massie fighting against that?

Turns out Massie is already fundraising off of this stunt and this has been his entire brand for a decade now. People rushing to defend him have zero clue about the how and the why but "muh no AIPAC money" even when he sucked off DeSantis harder then anyone.
Would a budget not beign passed be the perfect excuse to cut off even more wasteful funding? "sorry can't pay for the African tranny surgeries the judges ordered us to as we have no money"
 
You clearly know fuck all about Alberta, Calgary is a hardcore conservative city, with only one federal seat being held by the Liberal party for decades.
Look at the provincial and municipal levels. Half the city is represented by prog tards in the Legislative Assembly and there isn't one right leaning member on the city council.
How Calgary votes federally is not indicative of how it'll vote during any hypothetical plebiscite.
 
The United States literally produces nothing we have zero manufacturing. Two thirds of our economy is selling Metadata to advertisers and marketing debt to consumers.

That fact that we have a stock market in the red at all is nothing short of a miracle.
yeah I’m sure old Harris would’ve handled the situation much better right.

Look at the results of the plebiscite to remove Alberta from the Equalization fund.

Also, Calgary has a major voter turnout problem at the civic level, and civic elections do not require disclosure of party affiliation.

Alberta is nowhere near as left-leaning as you claim, and the more you argue it, the more you spew bullshit.

lmao this fucking shrieking cunt
KEEP IT UP, DEMS
PLEASE!
It's embarrassing at this point. It's not much fun to compete when your opponents are incapable like this. I obviously don't advocate for letting them get away with these antics and I don't want Democrats to win, but it will start to feel unsportsmanlike if they keep doing this stuff on their own.
 
I never took a holocaust class but there is a certain subsection of Jews that spanned from 1940-2020 that would try to claim they were in the camps despite being born no where near Germany or having never been in the country when the holocaust happened. One notable case even had the fake survivor tattoo numbers on his skin, he was found out due to using the wrong format. It’s from some of these dubious sources that some of the more extreme stories originated. Not that some of the stranger stories didn’t have a few that were real but that’s mainly to blame on the Germans being kinda wacky at the time with beliefs in esoteric neo paganism and a mix of desperation and meth.
I mean that one lady claimed to be at 9/11 then turned out she wasn't

We need to make this a thing.
Healthcare is fucking expensive in the US (or free if you're illegal), but I've never felt like showing up at the ER would be a whole day affair unless I was admitted into the hospital as a result of my visit.
Yeah, one thing that the US's health care has going for it is really doesn't have a waiting issue. While it being hard to get in is a common thing I hear from socialised health care countries.

Both systems are very flawed at the end of the day
 
Elon and DOGE have actually been remarkably politically correct about all the shit they're finding. They've been calling it waste and abuse when what most of these payments really are is bribes and payoffs.

Which explains why a lot of Democrats are freaking out about it. They're mad that they might actually have to earn their seat at the table and actually get what they're paid for. No more bullshit lobbying.
 
In further Firefox news, they aren't happy with the DoJ proposal to break up Google's search monopoly because Google pays Mozilla a lot of money to be the default search engine in Firefox. Article/Archive

“This isn’t something we do because it’s profitable or easy,” said Surman. “We do it because it matters. The DOJ’s proposal doesn’t just miss the mark, it risks handing even more power to dominant industry players like Google or Apple, not less.”

This feels like another Canada situation - if you can't survive without payouts from a much larger organization, do you deserve to exist at all?

In other words massie is giant fucking grifter and is just using his distance the current situation as a way to prop himself up when in reality he’s the biggest meat rider to ever live that isn’t gay* Citation needed
 
and we got the uncensored version no less.
The fact that there's an uncensored version is pretty crazy too. Like he was that desperate to recoup the money from his ballpoint pen time machine that he added in stuff about a young girl masturbating and hating her mother. Thankfully there's no other possible reason someone might include that in a book outside of being accurate and honest.
