And I sit through 2-3 light cycles when driving alone as I fail to see the green ones!

The ignorant goobers are anti-vaxxers, anti-police, anti-everthing. They are losers who gathered together other losers, thus qualifying for a healthy donation from sources like Musk and Russia. I wish our media would expose them for what they are.

Exactly. It is a service, never meant to make money. We have many services, many government departments that we pay fees to (eg passports) that don't cover the full cost. They are always trying to privatize things and it looks like the postal services are next.

Remember those convoy dickheads waving all the Canadian flags? We all knew they were using our flag to hide their agenda. I wish we could just load them into another convoy of trucks and send them to a red State of their choice.

We have village idiots in Canada as well, but as a rule, we don't elect them to anything. If occasionally, one gets to a position of power, we turf them after one term (ok, there is Ford). Our American friends seem to keep them around, make sure they get wealthy, and put them on talk shows. Very odd

That is the natural course for someone with his particular mental illnesses. A big win for the Dems, followed by a lot of house cleaning might lessen the damage he is causing or wants to cause.

Only 4 years over the last 60 or so were not Conservative! And even those 4 years were as pro fossil fuel as ever. But, as we know, you can fool some of the people all of the time.

I guess it has been a matter of enforcement then. They seem pretty good at busting poor people with a few ounces of contraband but not the big guys stealing billions.

I think they wrote that when people were far more civil. They never imagined such evilness existed outside of hell. After Hitler, America should have reworked the Constitution knowing what could happen to an otherwise stable State. They still couldn't believe they could ever go that route, but..

Tsunami the buggers. A close vote can be fudged. A line up to vote to save the country? Tough. Cold? Rain? Dress warmly, take an umbrella.

They consider that other thing as a male weakness, not evil. How could it be evil with all those church leaders involved? And all those rich men? We are barely out of the stone age in some matters. Time to jail a lot more men.

We know that the same shadowy bunch that funded the goober convoy is throwing money at any shit-disturbing group of crackpots they can find. Alberta doesn't have a monopoly on gooberites, it just seems that way sometimes.

Is it possible that they secretly want people like Smith to testify so the truth is heard and they pretend not to believe him? Trump gets damaged but they look to be onside all along? Or are they just dumb?

I know, I can't even watch movies and TV shows supposedly about heroic secret service agents or FBI, NCIS and the like. I imagine them all as corrupt backers of a corrupt administration.I picture them beating up some poor Hispanic guy. Truth always destroys fiction, but hell, is there no fun now?

Yes, it is really well done. The premise of an all-knowing AI being put to both good and bad use might have seemed a little far-fetched then, but wow...

Damn, if you are going to pay your politicians hundreds of thousands for doing the square root of diddly-squat, they might as well be stand up comedians. This dude is a natural.

As a non-American, I will find it difficult to know in the future which Americans I meet in my travels were among the 77+ million that voted for him. The loud-mouthed know it alls will be obvious, but the quiet ones? Hmmm..

The fossil fuel companies and the auto industry joined forces years ago to make us dependent on autos/trucks. Our fate has been sealed. We are like sheep being led to slaughter, barely bleating in protest.

Rory Hawes @zeke28.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
Good luck. You will have to out-vote the bigots and there are a lot of them. They are driven by some kind of festering bile and they will vote, rain or shine.

I walked into the visitors center there, folding up my useless umbrella, and told a guy working there: Where I come from, (Ont) the rain comes down, not parallel to the ground!

I feel sorry for the crazy guy who fired off a round into the ceiling of the pizza shop. He knew something was wrong, but had the wrong information on the bad guys. I hope he is not in jail.

Right on brother. We could have gone the public transit route like in most of Europe, but the fossil fuel and auto companies made sure that we went for the kind of life that revolves around driving. Now, filling up my little diesel car costs as much as a pickup truck fill. We are in big trouble now.

If you haven't seen PM Carney tell about getting a gold key to the White House, look for it. A great story, should be available soon as it was on the CBC a short while ago.

He will have a fine jail cell in Cuba, after the nasty things he has said. It will be dark though, and the food will be scarce, thanks to his hero.

The much touted system of 'checks and balances' had a fatal flaw. It was based on a belief that people (men of course) were God-fearing, decent and honest. Hell, any that were as deviant as trump were jailed or hung in those days.

Well, I always wondered why they inhaled that powder and you have explained it. I thought it was supposed to prevent damage and instead, it was to hide it.
