What about Canada? We barely ship any drugs or contraband south and yet 90% of the guns used in violent crime here come from the USA. Most of them come from states that aren’t even near the border. More Canadians have been killed by American arms than Americans could ever be killed by Canadian drugs. The problem is the USA wants to act like some paragon of justice while also encouraging instability in their neighbours and refusing to admit their addiction to guns is a cancer to all of civilized society.

We are very much on Trek. For reference, check out season 3 episodes 11 and 12 of Deep Space Nine. These episodes take place on Earth in 2024, roughly six months ago. It was always clearly laid out in Trek that their path to utopia was paved with war and hardship.

Well that and the fact that our first contact in Trek is with a peaceful but vastly superior race. We had everything to gain by creating an alliance and could have easily been wiped out by Klingons or Romulans if we didn’t.

Expanding access will be even harder as Trump continues to antagonize Denmark, the primary producer of these drugs. I doubt many Americans realize the same people in charge of Greenland are the ones curing their obesity epidemic.

Really? Everyone I talk to is still stuck on this https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/freeland-disney-plus-1.6815024 appologizing doesn’t change the fact that she’s so out of touch she thinks cancelling a streaming service will save your finances. Not someone I would trust during trying economic times.

How about I trade you two dozen eggs for those bills? Eggs are only worth a few dollars a dozen north of the border. We’d share more, but your leader is threatening our future.

Well if you want to go down that road then it is also important to point out that Doug Ford was famous for being a drug dealer before he was famous for being premier. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/toronto/globe-investigation-the-ford-familys-history-with-drug-dealing/article12153014/

Anyone who says shit like this while ignoring the massive amount of illegal guns smuggled into Canada from the USA killing Canadians is a goddamn traitor. 90% of the handguns recovered from violent crime here originated in the USA. This has always been a huge problem for us. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68841961

He’s the premier of Ontario, our most populated province. Basically our version of a governor by USA standards. He also has more in common with Trump than not. There are a few political factors here that will make it very hard for him to win an election when the next one was scheduled, so he’s pulled a snap election early as a desperate attempt to stay in power. Expect to see more of his dumb ass until we vote at the end of the month, longer if this tariff bullshit continues.

Torontonian here. It might be worth asking, but I can tell you right now they’d laugh at you. Their boomer voting base doesn’t want to bother and they have big federal problems to worry about. Heck look at Scotland right now, some people suggested keeping cats out of conservation areas to protect bird species and everyone is freaking out. Despite being great for the environment, outdoor cat bans are not popular with voters.

You may have more luck with your local councilor. Pet issues tend to be handled at the municipal level. Even your MPP would be a much better choice, assuming they aren’t conservative. However if you really want the situation fixed anytime soon, you’ll need to either get help from a charity like the Humane Society or take care of it all yourself.

I literally just spent an extra hour doing my weekly grocery order to make damn sure not a single item was sourced or made by anything USA. Now that I’ve gone through that effort, I won’t be going back. I have no reason to believe Trump won’t change his mind on a whim like usual anyways. If we all do our part in this way, even the rich will feel some consequences from supporting this madman.

I hope he does. We handle lawsuits differently in Canada and he doesn’t own our judges or supreme court. I look forward to reading the judges decision lambasting him and his lawyers.

I’d recommend Childhood’s End by Arthur C Clarke. I first read it at that age and its been my favourite sci fi short read ever since.

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/nintendo-sue-paco-gutierrez/ It was actually Venezuela and Nintendo didn’t sue.

When you spread lies like these it hurts the credibility of the very real problems with Nintendo, like suing a supermarket or attacking the emulation community.

This reminds me of my wife! The dating profile picture that got me interested was very similar to this one. Instead of a drumstick, she was biting a deer tongue she had taken from her first solo hunt. Friday marks our ten year anniversary and I could not be happier with this kind of trad wife.

Yes. I live on one of the major roads he’s removing the bike lane from and the entire neighbourhood is pissed. He’s always looking for creative ways to punish Toronto because we don’t vote for him.

He’s only in power because ignorant and biased media like the article above convinced suburbanites to vote for him. His support in the cities and rural Canada is dismal but he keeps winning by offering things he can’t actually provide like one dollar beers and cheap gas.

Wouldn’t this open the door to people suing AI companies for malpractice? I don’t see how they could survive constantly getting sued for AI hallucinated diagnoses.

This headline is very misleading. Ford already has a majority government allowing him to do whatever he wants and plenty of time left in his term. This election is about getting ahead of the federal election. Traditionally Ontario likes to vote in premieres that belong to the party opposite of whomever is running the country federally. Right now the federal conservatives lead the polls and a we know a federal election is coming before the end of the year. Doug Ford knows he needs to have an election ahead of that or his chances of remaining in power are slim. Tariffs are just a convenient boogeyman he’s using to try and stay in power longer. He even made sure to send everyone a 200 bucks and timed it so people got it shortly before he announced this election.

Before he started this “Canada is not for sale” bullshit, his slogan for our province was “Ontario, open for business”. Please don’t fall for it. Ford’s demolition of our health care has directly harmed several people close to me and his anti-worker bill 124 took thousands out of my pocket despite it being declared unconstitutional.

My dad is a Tim Curry doppleganger. When I told him I will never watch Rocky Horror again due to that resemblance, he proceeded to show me a photo album of him cosplaying Frank-N-Furter.

Got nothing but love for Tim Curry’s work. Sadly just the mention of his name evokes images of my dad wearing women’s lingerie. Hopefully some of you find it as funny as my wife does.
