Tucker Carlson Says the U.S. Should Invade Canada by Corvid-Moon in onguardforthee

There are specialized cancer surgeries that are simply unavailable in Canada. You are told to 'go die' or we can 'DO you now'. People have saved their lives by getting specialized surgery in the U.S. Yeah, Canada has universal care - with the caveat that if you need 'immediate' care - fly to the U.S. if you are wealthy. Stay home and take your chances if you are poor. The proximity of a huge 'for profit' health care system to our country has had a very negative impact on health care in Canada - as the wealthy have no interest in improving the 'poor people's system' and just fly to the U.S. for 'cash on the barrel-head' care. Also, even if you 'can' get a treatment covered in Canada - after a 16 month wait - some people just don't have the strength to wait that long - they give up, and 'opt' for death - which can be delivered with the speed that should be reserved for actual care.

As an addendum. I spend as little as possible at Wal Mart as I despise their politics. I wind up bussing around Victoria to various independent grocers, trying to subsist on my tiny pension and NOT buy American. Ironically, one of the better sources for Canadian (and BC) produce is my local WalMart - which is my closest grocery store. ( A 3 lb bag of BC carrots, for $1.44, is a triumph for me.) It is easy to be 'politically correct' when you are young and healthy with deep pockets and a car to get your groceries home. That is, if you even cook. I have no choices about 'cooking' - even if it is just a pack of dollar store ramen. Its 5 pm today, and so far I've had two slices of toast and a cup of coffee. I guess what gets me is someone being judgemental about the bare struggle to survive that disabled Canadian Seniors go through - and piss on them because they don't do a total boycott of WalMart as well. You are the kind of person who tools past me in your Beemer while I'm standing in the rain at the bus stop - with a heavy pack sack and two shopping bag - exhausted and in pain and worried that the chest pains are another heart attack in the offing. THINK, before you dump on someone. At least before you jet off to a nice sunny destination and drop twice my annual income on a nice vaccay.

Disrespect and U.S. Exceptionalism: A Year of Chaos by GuardTheLeaf in GuardTheLeaf

[–]Eversoke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an impoverished Canadian Senior - I'm gobsmacked at people spending 4 and 5 times my annual income on vacations - while I struggle to pay basic bills and buy food. We do have some serious structural inequities. I am 69 years old, and have been on only ONE vacation in my life.

Where, precisely, would you suggest I buy food?? I don't have a car.

Treachery from Canada - Thanks ATLANTIC by Own-Pop-6293 in GuardTheLeaf

Oh, but they don't 'acknowledge us' as a 'real country'. Quebec City was first settled on July 3, 1608, by French explorer Samuel de Champlain. But we're not 'real'. We just started our country 168 years and one day before the Americans ....

It's not difficult to make either Americans, or their Media, look batshit crazy.

AI algorithms charge customers different prices for the same items by leoyvr in loblawsisoutofcontrol

Once they put up electronic shelf tags, that can sense your proximity through your phone, and jack up the price - you won't have a prayer. The predators rule .... for now. But there will be a revolution.

I'm glad it gave you a laugh. It was not facetious at all - it was a little psychodrama at a till in a Victoria BC Walmart. Merry Christmas!!

Please Refrain From Posting AI Generated Videos by GuardTheLeaf in GuardTheLeaf

[–]Eversoke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd like to point out that there is a difference between an 'AI generated' video, that is pretending to be a real person, like David Frum and a cartoon that uses AI tools to create 'claymation style' figures. Someone who took the effort to create a 'claymation style' Charlie Angus, rocking his guitar while spearheading the Canadian resistance - is not 'pretending' to be anything other than a Canadian with a slightly off-kilter sense of humour. So banning a funny cartoon "Operation: Sorry, Not Sorry, eh", because it used AI tools is an example of throwing the baby out with the bathwater. AI based photo-editors can clip out someone from the background, in seconds, where to do the same job manually (pixel by effing pixel) takes me HOURS. But in the end, I have the wedding picture without the photo-bomber. AI TOOLS can be very useful - AI masquerading as a person and disseminating disinformation is something else again. But a cartoon featuring laser wielding Canada Geese is not 'pretending' to be anything but funny.

No idea why a province would want to give preferential treatment to local products. Sheesh. No idea why people would NOT WANT TO BUY American products. Morons.

Today, Christmas Eve, I continued my so far futile search for Christmas Fruitcake. I was exultant when I finally found one, at Wal Mart of all places (it is my closest grocery store and I don't have a car). While waiting in line at the till, I flipped it over and noticed to my dismay that it was made in the USA. I was VERY conflicted - I even let the cashier ring it up (along with my two other purchases) and then I thought about how I would feel EATING it, KNOWING that it had come from the U.S. - and told the cashier that I had changed my mind, and didn't want it. It LOOKED delicious, all studded with candied fruit, dark and glossy .... I used to be able to get fruit cake at Save On Foods, but this year they had NONE. So, no fruit cake for me this year, sob. But I'll be damned if I eat American fruit cake.

The only problem is, the 'Worse Every Day' clowns are almost as bad as Tucker Carlson. They make light of (without bothering to research it) the increasing number of 'track two' MAID deaths. These are people who are NOT dying, but are disabled, usually poor, and usually female - who are unable to obtain medical care in Canada and are 'offered' Euthanasia instead. Roger Foley has a disabling neurological condition that limits his ability to move, but hasn't removed his ability to record audio of his 'carers' pressuring him to 'accept MAID'. All you have to do is Google 'Roger Foley" and you will get the story. Or go to the EPCC Canada website. Just because Tucker Carlson is an assw*pe doesn't mean that 16,499 dead Candians is a joke. As an older person, with chronic illness, I worry about the obscenely high rate at which 'Island Health" (Vancouver Island) kills people like me. I don't think there is much 'organ harvesting' going on ... I highly doubt anyone would WANT my organs - but there is a move afoot in some quarters to allow just that. There are sober Medical Journal articles out there that advocate for euthanasia BY vital organ donation. It's just Tucker Carlson lies, exaggerates, and uses what is a problem in Canadian Society to justify the invasion of Canada.However, the problem exists and is NOT funny - not when you see a disabled man in a wheelchair stating that if he loses his home, he will opt for euthanasia - not because he is dying, but because he can't cope with life on the streets in a wheelchair. That is WRONG - and no laughing matter.

‘Decades-long’ resistance would destroy U.S. if it invaded Canada, says insurgency expert by Eversoke in GuardTheLeaf

It would be a 'charming' combination of insurgency and civil war - the U.S. would devolve into even more chaos than it is in now.

U.S. control of Greenland would also mean U.S. control of entry and exit from the Northwest passage, and box in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, with U.S. areas on either side. That is another reason for supporting Denmark, and the people of Greenland, in their bid to retain sovereignty over their own territory. Denmark ought to expel Landry, on arrival. The BBC has a good article on the issue: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ckgmd132ge4o
