I saw an excellent summary of the situation on youtube at www.youtube.com/shorts/3WXdT... I haven't checked all the background, but he does present a more reasoned view than I was reacting with. No question, we have to remove any reliance on the USA.

My sister drove into the local grocery store when she was three.

Ugh.

These are amazing! I do have a word of advice though - check the filter *every day*. My cat fountain had a large bug that died and went into the filter, where it contaminated the water and caused both of my cats irreversible kidney and liver damage. It was there for less than a day.

I'm sorry you had to endure that. I have folks like that in my family too. I always struggle a bit with 'be kind to people in pain' vs 'fuck those guys'.

Why would anyone truly expect that he could? Israel is not a state of the USA, and the USA president is not actually in charge of the world (despite what he'd like to believe). They're allies, not subordinates.

Maybe they didn't read the bill. *sigh*

I get where Martin is coming from, but the fact that there are members of the DNC who think that for Hogg this is about getting more money for his PAC - JFC politics has gone so wrong.

To guess at it - we do have some catching up to do militarily, and unfortunately the cost of weapons and technology does not scale down with the size of your GDP. So, if Canada buys two jets at 10m ea and the USA buys four jets at 10m ea we have still spent more as % GDP than they have.

Well, since Pearl Harbour was an attack between two countries that were not actually at war yet, and the 'bad guys' were the attackers there, I have to disagree.
You could argue it's a Dolittle Raid moment, though.

I'm pretty sure he hates it for completely different reasons than I hate it.

It was absolutely delightful. I know that he had been ill for several years, and I can't imagine how painful this must be for his family and close friends.

He still doesn't understand that the corporation doesn't pay the tariffs, huh.

I quite genuinely do not care. Biden is no longer president, and during his tenure there were no significant impacts from his memory issues. The current president is corrupt and can't speak in complete sentences. That is what should be getting reported on.

Indeed. Well spotted.

I don't see looking for honest, authentic, effective, and consistent communicators as an excessive overcorrection. What do you think we SHOULD be looking for? Which of those things do you think is unreasonable?

Sure. But I am 100% sure that if I returned to Africa as 'my ancestral homeland' I would (quite validly) be considered a colonizer - and a nutjob.

I'm in! Buy Canadian!

JFC. What a holey hoser.
