Rusty old wheel. Hans Island revanchist. Liminal migrant. Neo-Menckenist. Chesterton’s Fence sitter and begrudging new conservative. New ≠ better
Jesus has long been a kind of Rorschach test.
Why do some people think that think Christian means Conservative?
“America was great when we all had blue collar jobs” You had jobs building things designed by Bell Labs and MIT grads, marketed and administered by Yale and Harvard grads….
The anti-intellectualism propaganda is really something.
The sentencing was moved from August to October to accommodate Lich and Barber. The game is to ask for extensions then claim the trial is taking too long and that it’s govt persecution. Accounts like this feed the message to gullible followers and the trial grift goes on.
Our hearts go out to @ChrisBarber1975 and @LichTamara . After everything they’ve endured, having to wait until October 7 for sentencing is yet another heavy burden. No one should be left in this kind of limbo We encourage everyone to remind them they are not alone.
The Roman economy's secret sauce was institutional not technological. This meant Roman living standards did not survive a series of incompetent morons destroying those institutions. Probably not relevant to anything today.
Freedom convoy supporters think Tamara Lich is Canada’s Rosa Parks. Rosa wasn’t trying to storm Parliament in a semi with a vape pen for the right to cough on people at a Costco. -ND
“Canada is broken” has broken more than a few Canadian brains.
It’s weird that posting pro Canada “RaRa” Content is anti CPC eh.
Can’t believe I’ve lived far enough into the future to learn the first slur for robots
when u call customer support and a clanker picks up
The Russian MFA claims Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania benefited economically from Soviet occupation compared with now when they are "reduced to Europe's economic periphery". The beneficial effects of having Moscow run your economy are obvious to everyone.
Oh what a tangled web we weave…
Chris Barber (convoy) tells his supporters to stop using social media to attack the crown prosecutor (who does not sentence). Not helpful, he says. He and his colleagues tried to undermine public respect for institutions. Now he fears the result of his own actions. FAFO. #cdnpoli
The better way to put this is that scientists (the community, not necessarily every individual) are by definition “caught up” with the best understanding on a topic. People who have their own pet theories are almost certainly wrong, but at best (and rarely) they may be…
Arguing with scientists doesn’t make you part of the debate. It makes you part of the problem. Science isn’t about being right. It’s about getting less wrong over time. Changing your mind with new evidence isn’t weakness. It’s how progress works.
In the "what the Crown asks for is not what they get" department, last February, the Crown asked for 10 years of prison for Pat King and the final sentence was three months house arrest and 100 hours of community service. Maybe the improvised legal experts need to calm down.
And when it is govt, 98% of the time they blame the wrong one.
So, today RW Twitter is abuzz about an RBC account closure and a passenger removed from a flight for "offensive clothing." Instantly blaming the government, or worse, "communism." However, these incidents are clear examples of private companies operating under capitalist…
They’re shock troops for the project of making the CPC a vehicle for Western grievance, which is itself a vehicle for oil and gas, and now US corporate/govt, interests.
The Freedumb Convoy was a result of years of anti Trudeau sentiments by Albert Yellow Vest and United We Roll groups. Covid gave these insurectionists the ability the con regular Canadians into their cult. The convoy movement started years before the pandemic. F the convoy.
Can my Western chauvinists at least be proper aesthetes? Nothing more middlebrow than Andre Rieu slop
A magnificent example of the European culture we’re told doesn’t exist. Touches my heart every single time.
Tamara Lich’s sentencing hearing is the first time freedom convoy supporters have sat silently and listened to an expert. -ND
No, the clownvoy protest was not "peaceful." Resist the revisionism. pressprogress.ca/it-was-violent…
God needs willys.
If your church has a woman pastor, you have no pastor. Time to look for a new church.
But this doesn’t show that.
The reason Canadians feel like they have less and less money to pay for their lives is because they have less and less money to pay for their lives.
