You know it's satire because it would could not be the RCMP, it would be the OQLF.

Believe what you want, but don’t try to control others with your religion.

If your religion bans eating cheesburgers, don't eat cheesburgers. You don't get to tell me what I can and cannot eat.

Simple as.

Only with the versions of Christianity that want to impose themselves on others. Any religion and any flavour of religion that can function harmoniously with people that are not its members in the context of secular multicultural democracy is absolutely fine. Otherwise we have a problem.

Cory Doctorow has been proposing some very innovative left wing positions.

It's kind of hard for any public opinion to sway a PM whose whole career has been the role of a central banker, ie., someone whose job is to know better than the whims of the moment. I think this will be exactly Carney's blind spot, that he will be too hard to allow himself to not know better than the hoi polloi.

We (the rest of the world) need to de-yankify our trade relations as soon as we can.

As an allophone: it isn't?

Ok, now go "inform" your shitty corpo democrats that they should PANDER BETTER to their own fucking electorate. Signed, a Canadian sick of stupid American politics. Do better yanks.

Turn off their power.

An ecosocialist world would not allow wealth inequality to become this bad.

We don't live in one. The challenge is to make one.

It’s a biological fact when resources are constrained that a population will plateu.

Mice and fleas don't have medicine, feminism, research centres and agriculture. Look at the world around you. In societies with high degrees of scarcity and high infant mortality, humans have tended to have a lot of babies. This is true now, and it was true historically. On the flipside, in societies with high development indexes, humans tend to not have many kids. From Japan to Sweden to Cuba, you see that fertility rates inversely correlate with human development. These are just observable facts.

LMDE because I get the robustness of Debian stable and the quality of life goodies of Mint.

I mean, the "I'm sorry if it makes me an ecofascist, but" line was a dead giveaway from the start.

Oh, so you get to decide who gets to have kids and how many? And the "trailer park welfare mom" is your problem? Like, the straw(wo)man you made up with ingredients from classism, sexism and eugenics?

Yea, that makes you a regular fascist. The "eco" is just the excuse.

What a bullshit dilemma.

And you are wrong that wealth inequality causes the drop in birth rates. The birth rate was higher in the Dickensian times of Britain compared to now. If anything, it is wealth equality, universal positive rights, and women's liberation that tend to make people have fewer kids.

A ecosocialist world is a sustainable one. An ecofascist world is just a death spiral.

You first, buddy.

If not, this is just a slippery slope argument to "those other people shouldn't exist/have babies". That's just the door to eco-fascism.

The US is a rogue state.

You don't get to bail out your fascist friends, Donnie.

Hold the line Lula!

Language isn't a defining characteristic of a national culture? Hahahaha that's enough Internet for today, that's easily the most ridiculous thing my Greek ass read today.

Exactly.
