Just the blue states, please. We’ll give them Alberta and Saskatchewan as a trade. (joking, of course. We need the potash, and probably the oil as well).

At this point, I think a better term for both the US and Canada would be ‘post-industrialized’, rather than ‘highly developed’. Honestly, we are both sliding backwards in terms of human development.

Ku Klux Kanucks double down. More at 11.

What’s the official punishment for treason again? Used to be summary execution way back when, but I believe we eliminated the death penalty in 1976.

Edit: Just looked it up. 25 years. Ehh, better than nothing if it could stick.

Very succinct comment.

Conservatives seem to think one of two things:

There are public services that should benefit them and them only. These should be free. (Roads seem to be the most important among conservatives in my neck of the woods)

Public services that don’t serve them specifically should be done away with. (Public healthcare, education, transport)

Anything else seems to them to be a waste of “my money”.

They are the most selfish, ignorant buffoons imaginable. They say they just want to be left alone, yet they barge into public forums and bitch all the time.

It’s like “well fine, why are you even here to begin with if you don’t want to interact with other people? Just fuck off and live your own life far away from the rest of us. We have a society to run here.”
