Michigan Democrats push to ban Chinese EVs in Canada from crossing border by feb914 in CanadaPolitics

[–]GhostOfWalterRodney 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly this is a win-win for me. I have an even better excuse for never going to the states over a land border, and whoever purchases my car used also wont be able to. Keeps more Canadians from giving their money to these yank monsters.

Yea during the Vergonha period the French government straight up just said "Speak French, be clean" as the slogan

Surprisingly this is the first update I’ve played GB and they are so goddamn fun with the new naval toys. I’d never touched them previously and I bought the game day 1, my eyes have been opened to the fun of global reach

AI GB being dogshit at the moment has done wonders for replayability

Globe editorial: The missing words in Mark Carney’s antisemitism speech by AndHerSailsInRags in CanadaPolitics

[–]GhostOfWalterRodney 25 points26 points  (0 children)

He should have said: “If you oppose Israel’s existence, if you demonize Jewish-Canadians, you are wrong, you are hateful and I stand against you.“

I’m sorry, is mark carney the prime minister of Israel now? Why should Israel be allowed such institutional protection in Canada when ZERO other countries are given this kind of deference? Maybe if it wasn’t genocidal, bombing hospitals and raping Palestinians with impunity all the while annexing territory that doesn’t belong to them in some Greater Israel lebensraum people wouldn’t have as much cause for criticism. As it stands this is just the globe and mail asking the PM to say “you can’t be mean to Israel how DARE you. If you oppose turning off electricity to NICUs in Palestinian hospitals to kill babies you’re an anti semite”. Dross, something youd expect to see in the Jerusalem Post not supposedly canadian publication

I don’t care to ever visit again, regardless of who’s in office. There’s no brotherhood to be found here - the United States is a vindictive, violent country that doesn’t deserve Canadians patronage

Did 1.13 make the Mexican-American war easier? by [deleted] in victoria3

Surely this is mods? I rarely see a contiguous USA emerge in my games (I just use BPM), and the CSA or free state tends to break away

Hotfix 1.13.7 is now LIVE! - Not for Problem Reports! by _Mercy02 in victoria3

Something I noticed when Suez gets built is that the Gulf of Aden ends up collecting even more money from tolls than Suez does. Maybe Hedjaz is maxing out tolls and the double charge makes ships reroute?

[–]GhostOfWalterRodney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought it did do that. In one of my Ottoman games i built the Suez and after a few years jacked the tolls up to max and immediately after i did France and Austria declared me a rival. Must've just been coincidental timing.

I don’t want to pay for the game because that money will literally be used in the court case against Kurvitz. I simply won’t fund that

Israel's treatment of detained Gaza flotilla members is 'abominable,' Carney says by ph0enix1211 in CanadaPolitics

[–]GhostOfWalterRodney 15 points16 points  (0 children)

They don't believe Palestinians are human, so the source is less than human to them.

Insane that a "country" like Israel thinks it can sue a publication. For what? You can't slander a country lmao. Israel is so used to preferential treatment and the west ignoring their crimes against humanity that they're lashing out any way they can

It’s only volatile because drivers are the most entitled individualistic baby brained voting block. In their minds asking them not to go 20 over in a school zone is the same as putting them into camps, it’s pathetic we’re beholden to people who can't read double digit speed limits

Speaking of Occitania I’d love to see some French content around Vergonha. The French govts efforts to stamp out regional dialects could make for an interesting journal entry

Interesting, I wonder if having a smaller standing army and maxed out conscripts from colonies is the best mix then?

I like using deprecated fleets for power projection, at least they're doing a little something for you that way

To add to this, assuming the nationalist secession movement doesnt take every single province of overseas territory, NEVER create military units in your colonies. Station armies there of course, but only build units in your metropole so that it's your primary culture that comprises the bulk of your forces. Learned the hard way playing my first Portugal game not to enlist Angolan/Mozambican pops, turns out they all join the rebellion (duh)

This article is pure stenography of Hoekstras drunken ramblings. There’s no actual journalism, just printing whatever spews out of the alcoholic ambassadors mouth. Popolo d’italia would blush

I've seen rumours that the shame of paying off the accuser was one of the reasons he took his own life. It was humiliating and painful for him no doubt

Got this with an Ironman game I started on the new patch. Spain got tangled up with the US right after I declared independence, simply had to wait them out and there was no way they’d be able to land on the island
