You just need to tolerate our... "unique" sense of humour.

Oh I'm all over it. Had my grandparents in frenchvale (outside Sidney on Cape Breton Island) for my whole childhood, spent my summers there. Just loved absolutely everything about. In fact the only reason I didn't move there as an adult was the lack of work (back then, I've heard it's better now).

Y'all need to change the batteries in those sarcasm detectors.

In my defense I just realized I had two posters mixed up. I was thinking of that alt right guy, MagnumPEI. He posts stuff like that with zero sarcasm.

It was the idiot Congressman that was making fun of Kerry for having a "science" degree, and Kerry responding "it's an arts degree, are you being serious right now?!"

For the record, if you earned a PhD, you 100% should be called Doctor. The fact that Dr. Biden is being criticized for being called Doctor is part of the alt-right's attack on education.

I've spent a lot of time explaining to some of my more right wings friends why they shouldn't be repeating right-wing attacks on people's educations, so my sarcasm detector quite often is off on these types of topics.

Jesus Jay, If you loved every about it you would know Sidney is on Vancouver Island, Sydney man!

As for Frenchvale, did you get a chance to lace them up at the indoor-outdoor rink fed by a little stream, or was that before your time?

Yeah... I let that slide. If you're looking to fly here, just make sure you end up in Sydney, NS and not Sydney, NSW.

Ah **** that's embarrassing. I thought Sydney Nova Scotia was the different spelling from Australia, but yeah it's Vancouver Island (that's where the other side of my family is from and have spent way more time there in the last decade or so).

No never played there despite playing hockey growing up. Nova Scotia was always a summer thing, so we did all summer stuff and had our days packed with family gatherings. This is all making me want to go back so badly.

Just a fun jab man, one thing we have in common is we both wish to cheer the Flames living in "gods country" Cape Breton

Friken sucks now days, McCurdy seems to be cut off from the rest of Canada.

P.S If you know of anyone around Halifax with a small single engine aircraft for rent (I have a private licence) early May fairly cheap PM me

I was excited to see 20 new posts about the election to read before bed. I didn’t expect them all to be about Nova Scotia

In my defense, times are weird.

^How does that work exactly? Is Melissa Carone an "alternate elector"?

Straight up just making #### up. "Nuh uh, those aren't the certified electors, these randos I found on the street are the real electors."

Here, I found the before and after of one of their "electors" after they cleaned him up for T.V.

All this idiocy will never make sense to me. Makes my blood boil that they are still hanging onto this fantasy land garbarge and major media are sitting there nodding their heads in agreement.

[darockwilder]

How is this happening? It's truly ridiculous. (referring to the Stephen Miller interview)

Yeah, just like Dr. Birx during that "injecting light and/or bleach into the body" press conference.

The results of the Electoral College voting are starting to trickle in:

From what I know, the official electors were selected back in the spring/summer. Not sure who these magical Trump electors are that he's talking about, but my guess is he's full of crap.

Washington Post has one too and you don't need to sign up for the paper:
