davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Umm. May not have been your point, but it sure seems like you are writing off anybody who doesn’t have a post secondary education. 250
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 20/09/2026If you think the government under Trump is no different than what came before, then I don’t know what to tell you. 110
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Don’t know the details of the candidates where you have disdain. Won’t argue it. And not disagreeing with your stance. I don’t doubt it is righteous. Won’t change the likelihood that your democracy will disappear if the GOP retain power. The whole situation sucks. The US is failing. 101
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Completely and utterly hilarious response. Well done. 000
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Intellectually perhaps. But not emotionally, IMHO. 020
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 16/09/2026After what’s been going on in the US in the past 10 years, particularly the last 2, why would you expect Canadians to think, yeah, we see ourselves having more in common with the US? Seems like a remarkable misread of the public mood 110
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 06/09/2026I know, I know. Fair play to you. I guess I was just a bit tired and annoyed, not that that’s any excuse. I take it back. 010
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 06/09/2026It’s funny how much time you spend re-litigating Obama & Biden & Carter. You use the excuse that you are simply responding to comments. But let’s be honest - anything to avoid having to spend time on the current GOP. It’s comfort food to replay the old hits. 561
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Shush. Why are you bringing that up? Anytime someone mentions it Canada gets targeted with additional tariffs. 000
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Never claimed they were. But likely many of those who supported the war were duped (your word) by US lies. They didn’t believe the US President would lie so blatantly (it was a different time). That doesn’t make them evil. 100
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 05/09/2026I’m Canadian as well, and as I said, Chrétien was criticized by many at the time. Also, yes, French Canada generally is less supportive of wars (WW1 and WW2 come to mind) than English Canada. But he made the decision on behalf of our country and it was the right decision. 200
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 05/09/2026But not Canada, courtesy of Prime Minister Jean Chrétien. Took a lot of flack at the time, including in Canada, but he made the right call. 2180
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 04/09/2026As an outside observer, Tom seems to capture the sentiment of a large percentage of Americans. No real interest in a collective good or responsibility. Just the individual. Has been a hallmark of so many achievements as a country. But hard to see how it is sustainable or ends well. 120
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 03/09/2026I guess there’s a stretch argument there, but seriously, “don’t blame the GOP for becoming complete assholes, we wouldn’t have done that if we’d had better opposition” is some serious spin. The GOP are who they are. End of story. 000
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Mark Harmon seemed obvious from St Elsewhere but Denzel less so 130
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 26/08/2026I wish that were true. But it’s not. Far too many Americans voted for Trump and support what he does. We will never forget. We simply can’t trust the US anymore. 090
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 25/08/2026No cheating. Share the last photo of the sky from your camera roll. 110
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Not going to happen. Trump is America right now. He was elected to the presidency by Americans. It’s what the rest of the world is left to deal with. If you want us to believe there’s a different America, then show it by electing a new government. But don’t expect us to trust you again anytime soon 020
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Something tells me that no matter what this government did, you would have automatically found fault. It’s reflexive. 010
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 16/08/2026So you want to disenfranchise them. Based on what? Your sense of how they will live their lives? 220
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 16/08/2026“Wallow in your ignorance” is a great line from a book I’ve read. 000
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 16/08/2026We’re not talking about student government. That’s a complete red herring. They are part of the broader community. You just don’t want them to participate in that. 1170
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 16/08/2026So you do want to disenfranchise them. While you take the economic benefit of them being part of your community for the majority of their year. Sad. 1290
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 16/08/2026So if you don’t think they will be back in time, exactly what is your problem? The argument seems to be that you don’t trust young people to be appropriately engaged, or you simply want to disenfranchise them. 190
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 16/08/2026I’m still curious what the reason is for thinking university students shouldn’t vote where they spend the bulk of their year. A society should prioritize getting young people engaged in voting. It’s a missed opportunity if you don’t take advantage of that in a university environment. 180
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 14/08/2026We have to. There’s really no other rational choice. 010
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Be honest Tom. The thing you’re most firmly convinced about is that you are right. All the time. About everything. It’s a hard life’s work to educate the less informed. 000
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 13/08/2026I’m not completely sure I understand that argument, at least as a categorical statement. If you live in a state for 8 months of the year, you’re supporting that economy, paying some local taxes and are impacted by the local representatives and local government. 0310
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 25/07/2026Gotta love the second question. Maybe some were thinking the founders meant it when they said that “We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal” when in fact they were slave holders. Seems an American civics test requires an astute understanding of the hypocrisy 010
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 23/07/2026“No dress rehearsal, this is our life” 010
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 19/07/2026At some point, Americans will stop whining about that. But not yet, I guess. 110
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 19/07/2026I assumed the game was pretty much done, got busy at the bbq and preparing dinner and didn’t turn the game back on. And then sports did that sporting thing. Sorry I missed it. 010
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 18/07/2026Seems like they are doing their best to get FIFA to ditch the third place game. 000
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 18/07/2026Hard to imagine since it wouldn’t happen. Any woman who makes it to the Presidency will have to be tough as nails. 010
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 16/07/2026I think perhaps you’ve answered your own question 010
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 16/07/2026All those good clues? Should be a piece of cake. 030
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 15/07/2026I’d guess people’s opinions are influenced by how far north they live. Southern US is a lot closer to 12 hours daylight all through the year. Get up to cities like Edmonton (let alone further north) and it’s a whole different story. 010
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 12/07/2026I couldn’t stand Graham, but don’t have much of a problem the statement. Part of the job. Including a reference to Ukraine is smart. 311
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Have to wonder how much money will be funneled to Trump to allow the bridge to open. He’s not letting it happen without a taste. 020
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 11/07/2026You’ve got to be kidding. Get rid of the tariffs on steel, aluminum, cars and softwood lumber and we’ll consider it. As a consumer, though, whether or not they are on the shelves, I’m never buying California or any other US wines again. Ever. 080
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 11/07/2026So true. We do hate the US right now. Never used to be that way. But now it is. Electing Trump once? OK, bad mistake. Electing him a second time. Seems like this is what you wanted all along. 110
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 08/07/2026The rest of the world to the US: that’s your job. Don’t foist him on us. 030
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 06/07/2026Yeah that was really something. Double checked the clock. 000
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 06/07/2026Disagree with you and lost some respect that you can’t see that this is a travesty. Full stop. You’re letting your fandom creep into your ethics. 2101
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 06/07/2026And yet even with its corruption FIFA has never before suspended the enforcement of a red card during the World Cup final. Ever. So let’s not pretend this is anything but FIFA caving to Trump. And completely making a farce of the competition. 000
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 06/07/2026Nah. Still BS. The rules are explicit about the game suspension. There is no appeal. Unless it’s Team USA in Trump’s America. Taints the entire tournament if the US progresses. I get you seem to be cool with that. Not a good look. 010
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 03/07/2026He’s certainly excellent at finding fault with just about anything to do with Canada’s efforts in the World Cup. We’re fortunate to have such a keen and perspicacious soccer intellect to instruct us. 010
davidprime.bsky.social @davidprime.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Extortion seems a more precise label for this. 000
