Mainstreet were an outlier and “won” only because their overweighting of conservatives happened to coincide with the vote-splitting that happened in BC and ON between Liberal and NDP.

The meme that GIMP is in any way comparable to PS? Yeah, I agree.

The only surprise here is that it was for China, not Russia.

I genuinely think that would be far more of a problem than him being indigenous, if that’s what you’re implying. If he were running for the CPC then yeah of course racism would be a much bigger issue.

Regardless of how he may have turned his life around, I don’t think Canada is ready for a federal leader with a previous criminal record.

Isn’t that movie notoriously terrible?

For whoever is interested in reading it, I quite liked the Peter Green translation. Fair warning though, it’s quite long, longer than the Odyssey.

Ackshually it’s only Hectoring if you drag them behind your chariot, otherwise it’s just sparkling heckling.

I just noticed that the title of this post indirectly has the name of a Rush song in it. It was meant to be!

That Germany gave rise to Fascism. It was “invented” by Benito Mussolini based on a hodgepodge of preexisting concepts and named after the fasces carried by Roman lictors, the bodyguards who accompanied high officials. Benny wanted to recreate the Roman empire so he drew a lot of inspiration from it; it’s why the fascist aesthetic is so classicaly-inspired with a dash of Italian futurism, which was also in vogue at the time.

Poor Mussolini doesn’t get the respect he deserves. First he failed at being a leftist, then failed at journalism, and finally the one thing he actually did that had any impact on the world is usurped by some random Austrian artist.

Type II “sorry”

Love this, and now that I see your username I find this quote has a Banksian quality to it.

Type I: I’m sorry
Type II: You’ll be sorry

Oh hey 2112… You’re actually the first person here to notice / comment on it!

It fits — Charlie is a punk rocker whose band opened for the Dead Kennedys.

You’re counting his informal COVID response advice? That’s stretching the truth to the breaking point.

when he was advising Trudeau

You mean since all the way back in the… fall of 2024?

Peter Downing prévoit annuler son vote le 28 avril en y inscrivant les noms de Donald Trump et son vice-président, JD Vance. Car le séparatiste rejette autant le chef conservateur Pierre Poilievre que le chef libéral Mark Carney. « Je pense que Poilievre est comme Milhouse dans les Simpsons. Il est faible, c’est un nerd. Il se fait botter le derrière, il vient de perdre une avance de 20 points dans les sondages. ».

lmao

No the (attempted) joke was using an obviously AI-written text hyping up protests, but it didn’t really work.

If you’re a fan of the established order of capitalism Carney’s your guy for sure

Carney is a Keynesian and would probably prefer a 1950s or 60s style capitalism than what we have right now.
