it isn't too late

ask your local DM/daycare manager about it today

An independent Alberta seems unlikely - I suspect our neighbours to the south would quickly intervene to "liberate" an oil rich region at the first possible excuse. At that point, it would end up as a US territory, like the article suggests.

Smith's fuckery seems like poorly considered pandering at the best of times, but with Trump at the head of the US military it's gonna have nasty consequences.

I had to read to the bottom for the best part:

"We have the oil, we have the resources. We're fine," Westernaier said, noting she believed Monday's election was rigged.

Yeah. I think there's a lot of noise about what border agents can do if they feel like it, but I'm not sure if they actually use those powers in most interactions.

No. They asked their usual three or four questions and sent us on our way.

Speaking for myself, it's more like "I know I can look intimidating, and I don't want you to feel uncomfortable, have a nice day". I know there's nothing wrong with me, but other people have had bad experiences.

Should there be a link or something?

I've crossed from Canada to the US (and back) twice since Trump took power. The questions asked by US border agents were the same as previous crossings.

I'm a Canadian citizen, so I suspect US citizens would have an even easier time. FWIW my party's documents were in order.

I think there's a lot of hyperbole at the moment. My crossing experience was unchanged.

Typically, the local campaign picks up the signs so the person living there doesn't have to deal with it (and so they can be reused in the next election).

It sounds like whoever ran the Conservative campaign in your area hasn't organized proper sign retrieval yet. Maybe the sign volunteers ghosted them, maybe the sign lead flaked out, or whatever.

Their generation is marked by a lack of impulse control and a deep inner rage that can often be triggered by trivial inconveniences. They also seem to have a vindictiveness to them that I never really understood, holding grudges far past their expiration date.

oh shit i might be a boomer

I say "fuck you, you big asshole" in smartese. Or is it smartlish. My character would know. 😞

Isn't that accounting tomfoolery? They may be a separate legal entity, but aren't they wholly owned by the mother corp in the US? As such, profits and IP would flow directly back to the US, wouldn't they?

They're still earning gazillions from patents, aren't they?

Yes.

That's irrelevant.

The intent is to trigger a provincial referendum, and hope for something stupid like Brexit to happen. If they get anything close to 50%, then Trump will pull a Crimea and invade to LiBeRaTe the poor oPprEsSeD minority.

Someone should start a petition saying she needs to resign. Don't they only need like six signatures before a provincial referendum is declared?

The NDP are gonna be in a leadership race for the next six months.

Tactically, they will probably avoid bringing down the government until that happens, so they can be counted on to abstain from or support most confidence votes.

They're good at communication. Communication is getting your point across in a way that your audience understands.

Progressives are terrible at it - we keep changing the names of things, and use increasingly complex language for trivial stuff.

What was once nerd is nerd no longer, but as the wheel turns, what was nerd will be next once again.
