Given the likelihood that Poilievre will win, you should be OK. I hope he's deft enough to apply the right mix of flattery, agreement, cautionary advice, and bonhomie to keep Canada safe from Trump. On the other hand, as Canadian author Robert J. Sawyer once wrote. . . "They were the...

Ohhhhh-KAY. Now he's literally tilting at windmills.

I understand that your local potentate has a significant impact on your life, but he hardly compares to the once-and-future most powerful man on Earth.

Welcome to Earth. Enjoy your stay.

Is this Gawd's holy wrath punishing the sinful Angelenos?

Bunch of White guys beating a bound Black man to death. Good thing there's no racism. Maybe going through the proper channels will bring him back to life.

Yep, that's cafeteria food. What's the issue?

I think they call that a date in Woodstock.

This is the slowest-rolling resignation I've ever heard of. Fuck, King George III "resigned" faster!

Meh, climate changes all the time. Nothing to see here.

The two "stuck" astronauts on the space station are now scheduled for a (hoped) return in April. They'll have been there eleven months. They'll be weak as kittens after nearly a year in free fall.

He talks a lot. Not much follow-through. Trump doesn't have policies, he has applause lines. All along the theme of "You've been cheated/hurt/robbed, and I'm gonna get vengeance for you!" He'll probably impose some tariffs and claim victory, but it'll be a small fraction of what he's...

The moon is upside down. First time I was in Oz, I stared at it for quite a while before I figured out what was wrong. . .

When I was in West Berlin, we used to say. . . "The Germans are demonstrating again." "Oh? What are they protesting?" "Their inability to win a war." Meh, maybe I'm just jaded. Washington DC has protests and demos all the damn time. I can't be bothered, except to look up the effects on...

Prax's point seems to be "Any action other than official actions through a Hurt Feels Tribunal or the courts is WRONG!" Which kinda flies in the face of what we would call First Amendment freedoms, and I'm sure shows up someplace in the Charter.

Legalized assault with a deadly weapon. . .

Showed support or hatred for this or that hockey team.

I'm neither deflecting nor avoiding. You said, quote, I'm pointing out that taking action through the legal system was not the only action they took. I have no doubt there are complaints of discrimination against trans people working their way through the system right now. But that's not the...

And not a single demo since then. Wow. Just hockey riots.
