Yeah, a few make it through, but not nearly enough to affect the chaos they want to, unlike our southern neighbours…

Because 90% of Canadian media is owned by American interests.

Now there is some density. How old is this city by chance? I’m guessing some 2000+ years?

This is fair. Plus you guys have to stay up way late to watch the end of West Coast games, so fair trades all around. Just… Fuck.

Whoo hoo. Can’t wait for (checks notes) the gold medal game at 5am Pacific Sunday morning…

Well, until you solve affluenza, they are already getting better care at their leisure while those who have less resources and support are already languishing. This is always going to be the case. If you can convince people to actually fund and support the necessary care measures and support networks, I’m all for it.

I try to avoid isms, they are not good for you.

I get what you are saying here. What is dignity, can it be quantified and codified in law? We are talking extreme cases here, and the process is vast and comprehensive. We needn’t be afraid of our mortality, and if someone “chooses” to go, or if it’s time for our loved ones to pass on because continuing is no longer worth it? How does that impact us?

Yes, it could lead to more acceptance for assisted dying, but only in cases where it is merited, and why is that a bad thing. I feel your opinion comes from a place like America, where a panel of insurance adjusters makes your medical decisions for you. In the actual free world where we have healthcare the mandates for treatment come from the physicians and the advice from medical professionals. It is far from perfect, but it is the best recommended care.

And to most of us, animals are not lesser creatures and the bonds can be just as strong. We hold onto these people for ourselves, not for them. And heck, if they are adamant about continuing the fight, maid won’t be an option for them. I wouldn’t put my cat or dog down until the fight was out of them or the pain and discomfort was too great.

They say that one day and then get angry the next when the rest of us do the thing he wants us to do, but not the way (to whom) he wants us to do it to. Hypocrite is the word.

We put our animals to sleep to save them from suffering. Gramma tho? She gotta be a vegetable for a few years before she can get some relief.

Merch don’t sell itself folks

That’s constructive. Have the day you deserve!

The west is bound to begrudge the east because of lack of representation/voice. East coast politics rule both our countries even though we are both coast to coast. Population density factors in to it certainly but nearness to the body politic has a role there too.

Conservatism lost a lot of steam in Canada when Trump was elected and his promises started taking shape. They realized it wasn’t just rhetoric , they were looking to break down democracy. Even our poor people get a decent education and understand that is a dark road to travel. I don’t think they’ll cede their sovereignty but who knows? Their premier is bought and paid for by the same people as Trump, but their constituents are Canadian and proud of it. They’ll fight a propaganda war, but I don’t think they’ll win many victories.

Ah yes, the 4 Ts of destiny

This has been obvious for some time. They use the exact same talking points and try to drive a wedge between different communities. The problem is Canada has a different national identity than the US does, so we have different view on the world. We recognize and cherish that we are a nation built by immigration. Yes, there will always be some racism, and it is being amplified by bad actors with an agenda, but we are also the most educated nation so we can mostly see through the rhetoric. I hope.

Oh no! Anyways…

It is clearly hundreds. Dozens even!
