Yup. Because calling speech you disagree with "lies" and banning it under coercive power is the oldest trick in the fascist playbook.

I would suggest that some sort of "freedom of speech" principle might cure this, but like most Canadians, you want freedom of speech only for those who agree with you.

You're right, of course. People have no rights until they prove conclusively they're in the country legally. The burden of proof lies on whomever agents of the state feel like snapping up.

I favor calling it the "thumb tax." It's honest, because everybody's got thumbs, and everybody's gonna pay it. It's also a not-very-clever play on words, and therefore suitable for a not-very-clever government.

Of course. As long as they get somebody, the Constitution doesn't apply.

Yes, of course. You need somebody to hate.

True. Only the Dear Leader can SAVE us! It's not even you country, dude. Why don't you save your concern for Canaduh?

I agree completely. I wish Obama had done this. . . I think it would have been done better. But Trump won, fair and square, by the time-honoured method of appealing to the basest feelings and motivations of Da Peepul. We're stuck with it for four years or until the Grim Reaper casts his veto...

Now that I'm old and grey, I've been mistaken for Hispanic. I've had a cop start his thing with me in Spanish, obviously very proud of his skill. I looked at him, and emulating the "Ugly American" tourist, said slowly and loudly "DO. . . YOU. . . SPEAK. . . ENGLISH?" Fucking moron.

This is problematic. I have known for decades that the Federal government is in need of a big shake-up. Every policy and program instantly gains a constituency that will not allow it to be shut down, regardless of how irrelevant it has become. It's a significant contributor to our debt...

Oh dear. Here's the problem. . . what they did was rude and improper. . . and not unlawful. This is what cops do. All cops of every stripe. They lie, they make demands, they insult, they push buttons. All of it is in aid of getting you to give them evidence against you. It is permitted by...

Gracias.

3. I promise not to come in your mouth. 2. The check's in the mail. 1. I'm independent and not beholden to any party.

You think equality was ever a thing? Oh dear.

Oh, dear. I'm afraid you have the wrong end of the stick. I'm quite sure I AM an illegal.

This is not a matter for joking. They're all grommers, y'know.

And it worked so well last time!

Fine age for breedin' 'em.

Well, ya gotta admit the boy has a point. Don't see how supplying energy to Europe can be part of a plan to supply energy to Europe. And we do know his mama drank a lot when she was carrying him. . . Hard to blame her, really.

But. . . but. . . hydrogen is HIGHLY explosive! EVs NEVER explode. Never ever.
