Half of Canada was fully on the Trump bus the day before the tariffs hit.

I'd say that's a high estimate. Maybe 20%, with another 60% that just wasn't worried about it very much.

This isn't new, unfortunately. Fascism was trendy and influential in polite circles all through the 1920's and early 30's. Then they actually got to put their ideas in practice. Humans can be pretty shit like that.

"Whoops, we pinky swear we'll investigate ourselves for that. Anyway, since they're all gone now, we can go back to normal relations with the rest of the world, right?"

Ah yes, you could say it's a camp where they can be nicely concentrated.

I'm probably one of the people OP is thinking of. Before my time he was apparently a massive bastard, and he even admits to it. These days, as far as I can tell, he rescues Africans and doesn't do much else. Every other famous billionaire is higher on my shit list.

Yes, this hasn't closed the door forever (as far as I can tell), and Carney doesn't seem like an idiot, so I hold out hope this is some kind of maneuvering, and he's still as "elbows up" as he was on the campaign trail.

Hmm, what are the historical reasons?

I wasn't actually sure what the breakdown is across the continent, so I left it vague. I'm guessing French police are always armed.

Yeah, if you're looking at food in China, there's a real argument to avoid anything artificial-seeming because of incidents like this. I'm told it's part of the reason why wet markets are so popular - there's no doubt if your meat is real and unadulterated when you just saw it running around.

It actually sounds like they were straight up using normal paint as food colouring.

Sometimes, or sometimes they get a pass based on connections. Those aren't mutually exclusive, either; scapegoats have long been a useful political tool.

Yeah, it's more like they're fueling sexism, and are gobsmacked that anyone dares to be bothered by that.

In some European countries, most police are unarmed. It seems to work okay. Here in Canada, they all carry guns, but it's serious paperwork if they ever have to unholster it.

Bring back the phalanx.

Would you extend that to knives as well? The logic still applies, and there's a serious movement to limit knife access in the UK.

Time to find a good counterfeit.

A nice artichoke heart in oil hits a spot nothing else does, but the versatility of the black olive is hard to beat.

Sundrieds can also be really good, but you have to know how to use them.

Jarred red peppers are underrated as a replacement in basically any other place you'd put a red pepper.

Interesting. Mine is based on a NiCad battery and I don't think it lasts anywhere close to that long.

That was only after the eventual direct attack on Iranian soil, and I don't know if it's even double digit missiles that have managed to land in return. Some Israelis are still stunned, but only because of how deep in a bubble they are.

Iran also opted not to close the Strait of Hormuz, even now, although apparently they were making preparations.

I can't really confirm it's complete disinformation, but they always post stories that case Ukraine in a positive light and a lot of them are never confirmed or repeated elsewhere.

They are at war for their existence as a nation, so some of that is to be expected.

I meant restrictions on what you can do with your money in general. The arguments for or against inheritance tax specifically are separate, and are either going to be about public interest or natural rights.

A quick look at the polling on the issue suggests it's all over the place, anyway. Some show more than 50% support, some less. Probably depends on how it's framed.

Most people who aren’t going to inherit any money and don’t have any money to leave their kids agree this is a good thing.

Definitely. That's probably a third or more of the population, though, and there's a share of people who would be affected somewhat or even a lot who support the idea, too.

Well maybe stereotypes exist for a reason, quitting being one is a quicker way to cut down bigotry than stopping people from noticing things,

(About Jews)

You should see what happens when you try force the people of an natural individualistic bend into community organization. Undermining, diversion and later, violence.

“lack of investigation” is fairly normal when the person is dead. Anyways, it’s really, really, really obvious the Secret Service decided to let the kid take his shot before they killed him.

l'll just let that speak for itself.
