got that dangle-leg chill goin, hell yeah

Can we petition community mods to banish links to PostMedia content from Canadian subs somehow?

Oh it's the Lilley-livered liar from US post media again, and here I thought I left that shit over at Reddit. This rag isn't even fit for wiping ass.

Just put the fries in the bag, Peter Polliver. Oh wait, your non-existent skill-set makes you ineligible for even that sort of job.

tRump has said many times, quite clearly, that there is no negotiation that will impact the removal tarriffs. They are there to stay, and only grow punitively. He's not interested in negotiation, he's interested in extortion and appeasement. Conservatives want to paint this as strategic concessions, but that regime to the south has proven time and time again they're only interested in taking. So I suggest we not follow the conservative line and concede bit by bit out of cowardice until there is no recognizable Canada, but instead rally to defend each other and our shared interests separate from reliance on, and cooperation with the US. We all know tRump's ideological daddy is Putin, and I'll leave it to you to google the history of international treatise and compacts with Russia, and specifically his Russia.

If you're STILL acting like there's any good faith coming out of the tRump regime, which is a requisite for actual negotiation, I'd say you're too naive to have an opinion on international trade and foreign affairs at all; and if not that, you actively want to be absorbed by an increasingly fascist regime but are too cowardly to own that sentiment. If it's the latter, just move there, we don't need you.

Meanwhile Europe and Mexico and many other existing international partners can and will fill the trading void resulting from tRump's aggression and deceit; that's one of the benefits of establishing relationships based on real cooperation and good faith dealing, which is arguably Canada's greatest legacy. I challenge you to count the remaining friends of today's USA and tell me how that's helping their internal and global prospects, and tell me how that's expected to turn out for us if we follow their psychotic and self-destructive example.

Woke is tolerance, empathy, and a desire for the betterment of all at the expense of none (from the best of my observations studying conservative media). These are all the things the Israeli state leadership and a disturbing plurality of Israeli citizens and zionists around the world ideologically oppose because addressing those tenets challenges their ability to justify genocide. Imperial Ethno-states cannot be woke, by definition, even if they dress themselves in the imagery and rhetoric of tolerance (the most Humane Army shit). So yeah, of course they're gonna shit their pants over this 'woke' messaging in media, cause they desperately need to control the narrative of their crimes in Gaza. My sympathy to the horrifically oppressed there, and the Jewish people both in Israel and abroad who rightly and justly oppose the violence. May the Netanyahu criminal regime collapse as soon as possible.

You appear to be one of those, actually. Odd how projection works.

"The dictionary definition has not changed, this is like calling China communist or the USSR socialist republic, or calling the US Republican Party… well, Republicans."

Yeah, I mean you're here stomping your feet over semantics by leaning on a dictionary definition rather than acknowledging that all your criticisms of other political systems absolutely applies to your defense of Liberalism. In so far as we're existing only in theory, the things you said about Liberalism are true (according to the source that you didn't cite), but in the actual world and as applied through history, Liberalism simply isn't what that definition claims anymore, or Liberals aren't Liberals despite their claims. Both can be true.

P.S. you're bad at this defense thing.

Who? The only things I recall about that show were real, and were spectacular.

TRump is Republicans. Republicans hobbled it, and now are finishing the job. Don't let them distance themselves from this shit or project 2025, tRump and MAGA ARE the Republican party and always were.

Merge them. Create the climate corps and allocate federal funding to that branch of military operation, that's how you actually get funding, and it makes sense because climate shift is a security threat as much as anything else. Also, given how shit is turning south of the border, this is the most comfortable I've ever been with more military spending. I'm just saying this doesn't have to be an either-or dichotomy.

Actually it's capital. But it's true that Liberalism is the wiggly fun-house slide to capitalism and fascism no doubt.
