We travel a lot and I find myself apologizing a lot for my home province when meeting other Canadians.

That’s not Calgary, it’s just a few hundred Nazis.

I'm from the Okanagan originally, and for the first time since I moved to Calgary 20 years ago I'm seriously considering moving back

Gabe Newell? I knew one day we'd see the results of failing to release Half Life 3.

Not really sure the Okanagan is much different. I'm visiting my folks in Sicamous and the local pastor held a vigil for Kirk. Pretty conservative through the interior of the province with views that align more closely with AB than not these days.

Vigils across Canada

They were all across Canada. Makes no sense to me, but there you go, it wasn't just Alberta.

But at least the provincial government isn't following the Project 2025 playbook step by step

That article only mentions Winnipeg and only 200 people attending one in Regina. That’s hardly “across Canada”. Regardless, it’s disgusting and pathetic either way. Some of the quotes in that article…holy s***. These people are just completely delusional and insane. Idiots, the lot of ‘em.

For saying that Robinson is MAGA? I haven't seen anything that he said that would be particularly controversial.

He makes fun of Trump? that's tantamount to treason amongst the brain rot.

watching such a big and powerful country crumble like that in the 21st century is fascinating. Terrifying, of course, but fascinating. Humans really are dumb.

It doesn't matter, anybody not supporting MAGA going forward is going to get cancelled. This is the future. The world is becoming a very scary place.

So a late night comedian commented on current events? Shocking! So much for the first amendment. The Daily Show and Seth Meyers are probably next.

The speed at which that country is descending into fascism is amazing. It’s only been 7 1/2 months FFS. The U.S. constitution is being absolutely shredded.

Oh, all the MAGAs in the stream I’m watching with their “good, actions have consequences.”


I feel sick.

I had to leave the stream.
