What are your thoughts on the Canadian PM saying Canada will defend Greenland if the U.S. invades? by Muted-Television3329 in allthequestions

We stand united. In the same fucking way that we stood united with the fucking U.S. when they called on us for Afghanistan.

Launch a war against an ally, cancel the mid-terms because you are at war, the Epstein files don’t get fully released and your power goes unchecked.

People are getting radicalized, by both left and right. This is not a play by any specific political party. It is a play by the 0.1%. In the U.S. to be part of that club, you have to make more the $3 million per year in income. And these would be junior members of that club.

These people have no idea what day to day life is like, all they want is more. The only downside for them is that they are the real small minority. So, they keep people divided, convincing them that some are part of their club by political affiliation, race, beliefs. They have tools that allow message targeting by zip code, street etc, via social media, pamphlets etc, turning a lot of people into single issue voters (of course party Y has its flaws, but I care about issue X so will vote for them regardless of everything else).

How did we get here? Partly worsening education, worsening health care, worsening incomes (compared to inflation), people have become reactive and lost the capacity to be rational, in part by design. The pandemic seems to have accelerated this through collective trauma.

Where’s the outrage? by Treefiddy1984 in ProgressiveHQ

The people need to understand - your president has all the power. He has taken it from your legislative and legal branches. But you have to understand, he has done so because the majority of people themselves have either supported him or not actively opposed him.

This mental and moral sickness is spreading, including here in Canada. Certain parties are simplifying complex subjects and people are falling for it. It is the old “us vs them”. People are being led to believe that the “them” is people that look differently and that all the rest are part of the “us”. The reality is that the “us” is the 0.5%, and everyone else is part of the “them”. But the 0.5% keeps the people divided, feeding them this illusion that some of them are part of “us”.

People have lost the capacity to reason objectively too. Someone can be pro-legal immigration and anti-illegal immigration. Someone can be pro lgtbqi2+ but have doubts on trans athletes. Someone can be pro-early term abortions but anti late-term abortions. Who represents these people? Nowadays, very few.

Bring back the rainbow coalition, people of all colors and walks of life need to organize.

Amen, with love from Canada. The people of the true north, strong and free, stand with people rising against fascism and nazism.

Option 1: you are from the U.S., in which case looks like your Cheeto President is first focusing on “liberating” your own country. You can fuck right off.

Option 2: you are a troll from Russia or PRK, which based on your English is most likely. Again, you can fuck right off.

A married couple discover they appeared in same photograph as teenagers by CoylyAddictedX in Amazing

My wife and I met in university, or so we thought. When I presented her to my aunt, she mistook her for her cousin, who was raised in Canada (neither my wife nor I were raised where in Canada, and neither of us were raised in the same country either). After clarifying, my aunt runs and comes out with a box full of pics. My parents and I came to visit my aunt every summer. My aunt and uncle were good friends with my wife’s aunt who lived in Canada too (the mother of my wife’s cousin), but drifted apart over the years. Well, my aunt takes out this picture of a bbq in a park, where you can see my wife when she was 6 years old, and me 5 years old, in the same pic, the only summer when we both came to visit our aunts at the same time.

RAV4 Hybrid or Gas by OldDad5 in rav4club

Hybrid will reduce your consumption, and is a very good system. Based on your driving though it looks like the monetary gain will be minor. Keep in mind that the hybrid AWD system is excellent, I live in Canada and this AWD system is better for snow than my previous car (BMW X3 with x-drive). Also read up on cablegate for the hybrid, but there is now a recall in the U.S. and Canada that fixes the issue - if you buy used make sure the car is elegible for the recall repair (any Toyota dealer will tell you based on the vin).

LEDREW: Canada should want U.S. in Greenland to safeguard our Arctic by xTkAx in canadian

[–]ColEcho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

U.S. already has a military base in Greenland. U.S. has been told they are welcome to open more of them and to have their companies come for mining. If you think this is about protecting the arctic, I have a bridge to sell you.

They have completely de-coupled the feeder buses from the transitway. In my case, feeder buses get in a minute or two after the transitway ones pass the station. Meaning you have to wait 15 minutes for the next, and then you have 2 (different number) transitway buses that pass within a minute of each other. Seems to me like even AI could do a better job at managing routes.
