It’s literally just a coincidence. It didn’t even occur to me until other people said it.

Many of us are quite familiar with American politics. If you emigrate, you’ll figure out why.

Love Calgary and Edmonton. But the UCP is ruining this province. Please don’t come here.

Sorry, I don’t have a recommendation, but I will warn you against Alberta. I’ve lived here my entire life here and I love this land, but it’s getting more dangerous here for queer folks. BC could be a consideration if you can afford housing there.

I can’t believe people don’t like this guy. Have you seen the other politicians?

Yet again another reason why I won’t buy proprietary systems like this. Make your own, if you know what a NAS is I’m sure you van handle it.

Don’t be Reddit. It’s obviously a joke.

They don’t need to do that, feds already have access to all of your banking information.

Maybe if you’re a liberal. Conservative liars can’t describe socialism either.

GrapheneOS periodically (once a day or so) forces me to put in the passcode. If this isn’t a stock Android feature that’s another reason to use Graphene. It also has a “lockdown” button in the power button menu that forces the same behaviour.

No, but Canada isn’t a safe place right now. It isn’t as bad… Yet. Pierre Polievre is almost certainly going to win the next election, and he’s pretty fucking far right.

Not necessarily. I don’t have the numbers in front if me, but there is actually a probability that, past that point, something is so unlikely that you can consider it to be impossible (I.e. will never happen within the lifetime of the universe)

Trump was very upset with his generals not listening to his insane requests last time 'round. How do I know this? He asked for generals “more like Hitler’s generals” in that they wouldn’t question him. There’s a good chance the military simply won’t be on board with starting North American wars.

Would love to believe this.

The problem with simply being “frustrated” about current material conditions is that frustration is unproductive. You have to channel it into something. If that “something” is fucking fascism, you’re an evil person without morals. So while I understand how it happens I cannot absolve people of the crime of voting for an open fascist.

Haha that shows what I remember from HS history. My bad. Not to sound too contrarian but rules are bent and broken all the time.

I’d support Canada joining the EU for the single and extremely selfish reason that I would love to instantly move to a different EU country. NATO isn’t north american, EU doesn’t have to be European!

Nervous. Fascism is getting more popular, not less. We WILL see the same trend.

People in Canada are delusional and think it can’t happen to us too because we’re the polite maple syrup guys. I’ve seen the projections for Pierre Poilievre. We are in 2015 America, where everybody thinks “people won’t vote for that guy, he obviously sucks”, and they aren’t right.

I’m pretty convinced the minor earthquakes I’ve felt here are due to the oil extraction.
