I liked when he said “have fun posting all weekend” and then proceeded to post more than anyone that weekend.

It's a cry for help really.

Thankfully, he better pull himself up by the bootstraps and toughen up.

Empathy, per his definition, is woke

To be fair, per his definition, is not actually empathy either.

Because Mentzelopoulos started work on Dec. 7, 2023, as long as she wasn’t fired for just cause, according to her contract she’s now owed her entire base salary of $583,443 for 2025.

I'd be interested to know the feeling in their gutt people get when they finally clue in they bought a politicians lies hook, line, and sinker and are finally feeling the impact of their poor choices.


Any UCP voters want to weigh in on it? Do you feel it's more that they lied to you, or is the incompetence a stronger force? Or are you still deluded? Could be a fascinating debate.

Regarding the coal mining the ucp wants on the eastern slopes, heres a pretty good overview

I see that Smith, Kevin O’Leary and Jordan Peterson were at Mar-a-Lago last night. I’m assuming they were negotiating terms of annexation.

You guys are going to love being American.

I mean it’s going to be less like a real state and more like Puerto Rico but still, you’ll be American! Woohoo!

This right-wing conservative nutjob populism and corruption across NA is getting extremely tiring. The rubes are being galvanized (and manipulated in the process), while the critical thinkers are being suppressed. How does one get off this ride until sanity returns.

Any way we can just get her to stay down there? Somebody get trump to make her queen of greenland or something? As long as she resigns.

There is absolutely no doubt that Smith is down there undermining everything the PM and other Premiers have been trying to accomplish.

It’ll be great being treated like Puerto Rico. Next natural disaster in Canada, we’ll get Trump throwing rolls of Bounty at people, or chastising our forest fire management practices.

I'm no lawyer so don't really know how to interpret this, but how close are some of these ####faces getting to high treason? Here's the code:

It seems like quite a stretch to think that anyone that you strongly oppose is anywhere near having committed high treason.

Thanks for the analysis of what I'm thinking. I'm wondering how far pandering and making deals with a country threatening our sovereignty, undermining the role of the elected federal government(no matter how much you dislike them) needs to go before it becomes this thing that we have a law for.


Reminder, Jordan Peterson and Kevin O'Leary have zero authority to negotiate anything on our behalf, so when they start pretending they do, perhaps we should start questioning it a little?
