So, we would save on our water bills, and instead pay off interest-bearing loans. This will cost more, not less, over time. Alas, most voters lack the mathematical understanding to realize this.

We all know that. 😀 I’m wondering if there’s any actual actionable thing that people are voting for with this, apart from “we’re mad about stuff and have been convinced it’s Ottawa’s fault”.

What does “sovereign Alberta within a united Canada” mean? What meaningful difference from today does that imply? Is it just “we won’t participate in transfer payments any more”?

I’m not convinced that his core message of “be kind to others” is accepted by enough of the population today.

Supporters of the move pray it will harm transgender athletes and weaken protections for sexual assault victims.

By this definition, everyone, everywhere, everywhen has lived in a bubble. That doesn’t feel like a useful definition of bubble, to me. If it’s helpful to you, cool, but I am unconvinced that “I don’t like X so I’m not going to seek it out” is remotely what most people mean when they use the term.

Spaceballs. Can’t say for sure what the other movie was (drive-in was always a double feature). Only other movie I specifically remember seeing at a drive-in was Legal Eagles, but it came out the year before, so that seems unlikely.

It’s actually the plural of Debra.

Did they bring Vince McMahon in as a script advisor?

“She’s a witch!” (complimentary)

See also the origin story of the Church of England.

“She’s a witch” is one of many waypoints in the history of men getting rid of women that they find inconvenient. “She’s hysterical” was a later example. Have to wonder how much of the current toxic masculinity epidemic comes down to there not being any currently socially acceptable option for this.

“There’s a long history of telling sick people they’re crazy.” See also the origin of the word hysterical.

My understanding was that people are allowed to protest on Parliament Hill for weeks before the police can do anything about it.

“Close Cover Before Striking” would be a good title for a book subtitled “The Dummies Guide to Leveraging the Power of Labour Unions”.

“Where are they getting the fuel?” I ask the ether. “Venezuela”, comes the faint reply.

Gotta pay for the illegal Iran war somehow…

The idea is that people who will never ever ever vote anything other than Republican might vote Democrat if Democrats adopt Republican policies. Why would you ever want such a Democrat in power? “Because they are better than the Republican”? No they’re not, they made themselves the same.

Are these in any way related to the ones that used to be in Toronto (I wanna say Leslie somewhere between Lawrence and the 401)?

Are LDS women even allowed to learn to write? (Only asking half sarcastically…)

Has he started sending fundraising emails complaining about being canceled by the woke left yet? My bet would be that was the entire plan.

It was “political correctness” for a while.

I expect that they would lump all of that under the general heading of “woke”.

Now you’ve got me wondering how much the history of video games was driven by it being easier to render indoor scenes than outdoors.

Anybody else immediately thinking that Karens will weaponize this against people who film their racist rants, insisting that they were having a mental health episode?

The only way you can take a republic country like the United States and turn it into an authoritarian country is by causing chaos on purpose and then saying, 'hey look, government is a mess. You need us, the authoritarian country, to rule you.' It's insane.
