Canadians have been living with the effluent of America's ongoing dumpster fire for some time now. You put yours out first and then we'll talk.

if I'd known in 2022 that shipping my motorcycle for an overseas trip would result in receiving the following question every time I left my house for any reason, for the rest of my life, I would have kept that trip to myself: "are you taking your motorcycle with you???"

Americans deride the French as "surrender monkeys" but: When the King of France let citizens starve to build palaces, the people rose up and put the National Razor to work. The King of America does the same thing and Americans shrug their shoulders and sit on their sofa. surrender monkeys indeed

Of all the horrors described at Rwanda's genocide museum, this is the one that haunts me the most. People ask me what my impressions of Rwanda were and it's a mix of sadness, optimism, guilt, and admiration. They're a nation determined to move forward but the wounds run so deep...

shout out to #BritishAirways for their ongoing commitment to being utterly incompetent at customer service. Not everyone has the ability to ignore decades of complaints and angry feedback whilst simultaneously patting yourself on the back for a job well done, but you folks lead the way!

a consistent mental gymnastic amongst fascists is to justify their systemic abuses & corruption by declaring that "the other side would have done it too if they had the opportunity", even when the evidence shows otherwise. you cannot reason with people who are committed to being unreasonable

I think it was around 2009 when racists in Europe began deliberately referring to refugees as "migrants" and unfortunately that became accepted and normalized within the mainstream.

that day already came on January 20th, 2021 and what did Americans do to ensure it would never happen again? did they strengthen any legislative and political guardrails from lessons learned? there's no reason to think that America's collective response won't be any different once this is over

here's the failure of America: after Trump #1 there was zero effort made to the reinforce political and constitutional guardrails. Everyone just collectively shrugged and said "well that'll never happen again, so Hakuna Matata!". After after Trump #2, America will do the same damned thing.
