Oh yeah, I saw that Tiktok he posted where he and his team genocided Queens. Horrific stuff.

I would love to hear a good case for this to happen other than a one-off cash injection (followed by perpetual higher ticket costs). However, I doubt one exists.

Next week, Bernie will be meeting with Thiel to discuss Revelations and the identity of the Antichrist. Followed by Musk on drug legalization. And then back to Platner on the Equal Rights Amendment. Finally, Fuentes on childcare. Time to retire, Bernie. And time to retire Bernie.

And then calling each race a "Grand Prix". Ok Azerbaijan, chill. You can call it the "Baku race". Twenty "Grand" anything a year means not grand at all.

Pretty sure they play fewer football games in a year than there are F1 races.

Imagine every football game the players dump Gatorade over the winning coach and end in a trophy presentation on a stage. It would be too much and not special! Yes, they make a big deal about the Super Bowl, but it's once a year!

Especially years where one team dominates. The first three or four wins, sure they can muster the excitement. But the eighth race, when you know you're going to win another five or more at least that year? You're faking it up there.

Formula 1 celebrates too hard, too often. Every race: big trophies, champagne sprays, lifted in the air by the team and/or fans. It's too much!

If Allah decrees something tomorrow, as an atheist, I would hear him out, for curiosity's sake if nothing else. "Hey, there's a giant dude in the sky preaching murder" - I stop and take a look, oh look giant dude in the sky! "Hey some preacher said that Allah told him..." - I keep walking

And the voters will feel the pain of the fixes. And 2032, a new Nazi-adjacent Republican wins to undo all of that. So no, Canada won't align with the US again. The world will not respect the US again. We will breathe a sigh of relief in 2026 and a bigger one in 2028. But we know what's coming.

So the D's can win in 2028, but don't have the stomach for a true fight. And they will work on fixes for the sorry state of the country that will involve tax increases and service cuts. Slowly they will try to build back the institutions that were eviscerated in so short a time.

Jeffries met with Kushner to talk about opportunities to work together. Sanders had a lovely meeting of the minds with Bannon. Durbin showed his belly to Trump. Sotomayor is playing dice with actuarial tables instead of learning from RBG and resigning in 2001-2002. Schumer -- just Schumer.

After the structural changes you also need operational changes. You need a purge of MAGA and the right-wing militias. The media wings of the Republican party must also be disbanded. Send some of the pardoned people to the Hague. They'd love to get their hands on Musk and Hegseth and Trump.

The kinds of real structural changes needed are huge. Remove the Electoral College, add Supreme Court seats, add PR and DC as states. Redoing Voting Rights, fixing the constitution, removing free speech rights for corporations. Can America do that?

Ecuador FTA in July and Mercosur FTA talks happening, along with other free trade agreements already in place for Chile, Peru, Colombia , Mexico, Honduras, Panama, Costa Rica. If the Mercosur agreement is made, that means that we will have free trade with almost all of Central and South America

So maybe the money gets invested in small-market airports. But if that's what we want to do, why get the private sector middleman who has to be coaxed and incentivized? Raise big-city airport fees and transfer the money to the small airports.

And this video - "Our airport will be like those in Europe!! Can you imagine?" Yes, I can imagine it, cause I can't see the difference between an airport in Europe and one of ours. There's stores and fast food and they're all clean. Except Europe has more inter-terminal buses instead of trains.

PEterE 🇨🇦 @peliopoulos.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Not sure what the point is. It's a partial privatization where instead of the airport getting consistent income from the businesses it rents to, the government gets a one-time hit of an infusion of cash and no income. Then airport fees need to increase to compensate for the lost income.

Now you might think it's because I don't have a band or songs or musical career or musical talent or musical instruments or the ability to convert sheet music into songs or a belief that musical tones and notes should be sung in a consistent way or the memory space to memorize lyrics.

I understand that there are openings on the tour and there have been discussions about filling the opening on the Ed Sheeran tour. At this stage, I wish to announce that I will not be joining the tour, in solidarity with the openers and house band that have already left.

I don't mind it so much on a gendered basis, but the word "mistress" should be reserved for situations where there is an active marriage and a medium to long term cheating situation.

Zero love for Paxton. He should be serving time in prison. But he's been separated for *two years*. Is "mistress" still the right word? Maybe technically, but c'mon...

At the end of the day, while there is a deal that *might* be acceptable, it's doubtful that deal can be made. We want a better future for Canada more.

Alternatives to Visa/Mastercard should be getting developed and explored on an expedited basis. Maybe a super-Interac? Maybe a proper digital Canadian dollar (not crypto, blockchain, bitcoin etc) is the answer? Not an expert here, but it seems like there may be something here.

I am hoping that the government is planning on digital and financial sovereignty though, like Europe is starting to. Too much of our financial system is prone to US interference.

I really could go on with what has happened at the malign direction of the worst person to ever be selected as a President. We are watching them accept all of that. Canadians are willing to endure pain for a greater purpose.

Americans have proven to be able to accept pain for the dumbest reasons. The destruction of their government, its co-option by hostile, foreign-influenced assets, the dismantling of the American-led global structure, intestinal risks.

Worse American measures are scheduled in the new year and even worse may join them later. We need to keep our best weapons in reserve for those times. Unless we think they would win us the war.

Taken together those options are the best weapons we have. They would impose economic pain and disruption across the board. But after that, what do we have left?

I hear lot of talk of a harsher response - export taxes / bans on oil / potash / electricity or canceling defence contracts. However, we should hold off on those.

Carney's margin in parliament is slim and I could see some Liberal MPs revolting if those concessions are granted. It's an open question of what the Conservatives might do in this scenario.

We know that Trump and the US cannot be trusted with any deal. So why bother unless it's just a tariff reversal?

PEterE 🇨🇦 @peliopoulos.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

But anything more than that - like the rumoured cultural concessions, energy/mineral guarantees, or a veto of the trade deals with other countries - would be a non-starter for many, many Canadians.

PEterE 🇨🇦 @peliopoulos.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Maybe a deal that sees reversal of tariffs (and counter-tariffs) with a bit of extra agricultural access. That could fly.

I remember going to see it after seeing the stereotype criticisms. My thought going in was "oh people are probably just being too sensitive and seeing things that aren't there". Then I watched it and JFC what did I just see and why aren't people talking about the racist stuff more
