iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I said that I *hope* it turns out to be justified. I'll elaborate, by saying that I *expect* to be disappointed. Which, in turn, means I'll be disappointed in the PM's statement.

Those regime changes involved boots on the ground. Is there any reason to the US and/or Israel to invade?

Of course I don't support murder - of children, or anyone else. I don't think my posts remotely suggested that I do.

I highly doubt that an elementary school would be an intended target. That said, until/unless evidence is presented justifying this action, I do *NOT* support it. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that it is just another distraction from Trumps domestic problems.

I very much hope that the Canadian government is in possession of intelligence justifying the US/Israeli attack. Otherwise, this statement is not going to age well.

The US ambassadors to Canada are obnoxious boors, as well.

Can we trust these poll results when MAGA won't talk to pollsters?

I remember being happy for the US team when they won gold against the USSR in 1980. Sadly, (certainly as it pertains to sports), us Canadians now tend to regard the US the way we did the Soviets back in the day. Who'da thunk we'd come to this?

I was immediately suspicious when I saw posts from "you" pumping cryptocurrency. I wish all the serious players would move over here. The nonsense on X is so tiresome.

It was just a few short months ago that Trump and his minions lost their collective minds over a TV ad, featuring Ronald Reagan, paid for by the Ontario Government.

Paul Wheaton @lepewter.bsky.social · 03/02/2026

Nope. Ignoring the moral implications, the US would sabotage a Canadian nuclear weapons program into oblivion before it got off the ground.

But, from a practical standpoint, if a private citizen pulls out a pistol during an ICE protest, the probability that he/she will be immediately peppered with lead approaches 100%. To be clear, Pretti did nothing wrong here, the fault is entirely ICE's.

I suspect that physical courage in battle is much easier to find than moral courage to do the right thing, going against leaders, as well as peers.

The Trump administration lost their minds over the Reagan TV ad, complaining of political interference in the US. But, RFK's nonsense about Germany is all above board...apparently. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Ford doubles down on Reagan ad that got Trump fuming

Ottawa holds its breath for details of Trump’s new 10 percent tariff.

I've never seen the Scott version. After watching Alistair Sim every Christmas season, I can't bring myself to watch any other version.

Another numpty who thinks NATO membership involves paying dues. Nobody twisted the US government's arm to force it to spend so much on their military. That was the choice they made.

The thought of a Maple MAGA government fills me with dread. So, should the NDP vote against the budget and trigger an election costing more than a half-billion dollars, the electorate should punish them mercilessly.

Paul Wheaton @lepewter.bsky.social · 02/11/2025

I'd like to think that the NDP is criticizing the budget now in order to appease their base, but will "reluctantly" vote in favour, because they know the consequences of a Poilievre-lead CPC coming to power.

Q: Justin Trudeau said that Canada would honour the International Criminal Court arrest warrants, i.e. Benjamin Netanyahu would be arrested if he came to Canada, does that stand under your leadership? CARNEY: Yes.

Thanks for this. That's 24 minutes of my life that I will never get back.

So, the Governor of Tennessee thought crime was bad enough in DC to send troops there, but not bad enough in Memphis to deploy troops in his own state? Do I have this right?

Not doomed *yet*. And, should America implode, I can picture Canada being pulled into the vortex. We can only hope they come to their senses before it's too late.

Paul Wheaton @lepewter.bsky.social · 13/09/2025

Interesting read. I fear that if America descends into authoritarianism to the point of autocracy, Canada's status as an independent nation will be doomed. I can't picture our allies coming to our aid.

Didn't Jackson get away with defying the SCOTUS? That's a serious question, BTW.

I remember when Boomers were blamed for everything. Now, it's GenX. Next, will be Millennials, followed by Zoomers, and so on. So, don't worry, everyone will have their turn being part of the "worst" generation.

Good for you, but I'm not the one who is "bitching and moaning" here. And, I'd like to see a comparison of the numbers of "uninspired liberals" vs progressives is who stayed home in November.

I'm sure Gazans appreciate the practical difference your adherence to principles makes on the ground. Dumbass, indeed.🙄
