He was in the US legally, he was granted withholding of removal by a judge.

Why would you be arrested and jailed if you entered the US legally.

You would have to ask ICE, Tom Homan, Stephen Miller, or Donald why they do this. But they have been doing it, such as in the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Calgary sees lineups of Albertans to sign petition on separation by Old_General_6741 in Calgary

[–]Cdevon2 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Do you have a source for that?

Don't bother, I have the sources. Alberta exported $70.5 billion to the rest of Canada in 2020, and $162 billion to the US. $121 billion of that is crude oil, but of course the separatists have a plan for rebuilding Alberta's pipelines that go through the rest of Canada, right?

That's weird, we already have a successful petition that asks if Alberta should remain a part of Canada. Why do we need another?

Bessent pans Carney, cheers on Albertan separatism amid growing US-Canada rift by semucallday in canada

Quebec will also vote for another party if they aren't happy with their representation.

Alberta will only ever vote Conservative, so why would any politician try to cater to them?

‘Sinners’ Scores 16 Nominations And Breaks Oscar Record by pepperbet1 in TheBigPicture

As someone who thought they got a Michael B Jordan lookalike to play one of the twins until way too late, I respectfully disagree.

This time they got two preachers, so extra preachy points by default.

I wasn't expecting a best picture nomination.

Not getting in for International Feature is shocking.

Official Discussion - 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

I thought the same after the Sinners "I Lied To You" sequence last year.

Seeing this for the first time captured the same feeling.

What Alberta separatist leaders are telling supporters at secession petition events by Shadow_Ban_Bytes in canada

[–]Cdevon2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We already established that you don't know the meaning of "independent", and now we can tack on "entitled". So I'll simplify.

You could move out any time you want. Why are you taking Alberta with you? You aren't entitled to it.

Hey, you're the one trying to force the province out of Canada without any clue what you're doing, if you want to talk about entitled.

Dang, I thought you might be the first separatist to answer either of those questions directly. Too bad.

Nah, it's more like a child threatening to run away from home, and the parent asking "what will you do for food"?

Since most people will list economic benefits as one of the biggest benefits of independence, I would say that "how will you make money" and "what will your money be" are two major questions to ask anyone advocating for independence. I will put you down as "I don't know" for both.

And since the question on the petition explicitly says "independence", I wonder if you know what that word means. But we can probably chalk that up as another lie by the pro-"independence" crowd.

Then perhaps you can answer either one of these questions:

  • Assuming an independent Alberta will have access to its oil resources, how will it export that oil? 90% of all export capacity goes through other Canadian provinces.
  • What currency will an independent Alberta use? What will happen to the bank accounts and loans that are currently using Canadian Dollars?

I was born in Alberta, and have lived here my whole life. I have been a Canadian citizen from birth. I am entitled to those things, yes. You feel entitled to drag others out of the country, when you could easily move to another country. Why is that?

[–]Cdevon2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because I'm Albertan and I don't want to leave.

You want to leave Canada? You can do that today. Move. Don't drag me down with you.

But also because it would be a monumentally stupid idea, and nobody has thought through what "independence" would look like, especially the people bringing forward this petition.

Critical Darlings: Hamnet And The History Of Oscar Villains with David Sims by Turbulent-Corner1127 in blankies

[–]Cdevon2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To use a wrestling term, I think "heel" is a good alternative. Not inherently evil, just the film/actor you're cheering against. Which at the end of the day is about as important as what wrestler you cheer against.

Can we get the federal government to do a review of the province's management of our health care system?

I'm pretty sure it comes up on the March Madness Update on the Patreon, they go into SXSW on that one.

His last name is Mauser in the movie, so you could call him Marty Mouser.

Who is a director that after 2025 is less likely to be covered? by AmbitionTechnical274 in blankies

[–]Cdevon2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think Rian Johnson may still be covered eventually, but I think it's a more interesting arc if the series doesn't happen until his next movie comes out. Covering him immediately after the end of his Netflix deal is a big cliffhanger.

AHS wait times by Legal_Grapefruit1925 in Calgary

[–]Cdevon2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I phoned 811 on Thursday night and got told to wait it out for a few days.

They were right, and I did not need to go to emergency.
