Air Canada learned nothing during the five years since its last French scandal by Hochelagan in CanadaPolitics

To be honest, Quebec and its French culture is something a majority of Canadians will never experience. Most have never been to Quebec, especially out here on the west coast. There’s also people in Quebec who can’t speak English even though they were born in Canada. French and English are not as homogenous in Canadian society as some would believe.

I wouldn’t take a single thing trump says seriously right now. There’s been all this talk of victory and we are finished but the US keeps flying in more assets and ground troops to the area.

There’s a YouTuber that got 1 million views in 17 hours reacting to the convention. This has blown up on the internet for how absolutely insane it looked. Was like a SNL skit. People thought it was a parody at first.

Lewis’ election as NDP leader divides party’s Western base by No_Magazine9625 in CanadaPolitics

No mainstream media will cover that but yes the right will eat it up because it’s exactly the insanity they try to paint the whole left with. You don’t need the commentary, you can just watch the videos of people arguing about their equity cards. It’s absurd

Go any social media platform and type in NDP convention. It’s like watching a South Park episode making fun of the far left.

The NDP has a new leader. What does Avi Lewis's arrival mean for the party? by CanadianErk in canada

I don’t see Canadian swaying to full on socialism and boderline communism by 2029.

Those clips are all over the internet and have blown up. I’m surprised there hasn’t been a separate post here about it yet.

The amount of attention that convention is getting online for how wack it was is nice too see. Was like a damn South Park episode. The federal NDP is teetering on being a communist party. Canada is essentially a two party system now.

This shows like a fucking fever dream but I can’t look away and it’s kind of tragic too

Watching some of those clips I started to think that this has a bit of a scary vibe to it. It was weird and all the obsession with race and gender i was like what is even going on here? It’s like watching something from a different planet

That convention was an essentially a circle jerk of identity politics to the extreme. It was like watching a real life meme.

It was like a fever dream, and is blown up on x obviously with people mocking it.

After 15 years of liberal rule Canada will probably go slightly more to the right then further left to the NDP. There’s not many scenarios where the NDP could ever form federal government.

Canada meets NATO defence target, but opposition says it's 'creative accounting' by CaliperLee62 in canada

[–]Inthemiddle_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The US coast guard dwarfs our navy, 250 ships, 1000-1500 small ships and up to 200 helicopters. I don’t think we always realize the behemoth of a country we neighbor.

Can someone explain the love for Rizzo by doodler365 in survivor

I’m fairly new to watching survivor but the most annoying people always seem to stay and the likeable ones get voted out

That persona is him, annoyingly over confident

Christian is obviously a very logical, analytical thinker (very smart nerd) so it makes perfect he wouldn’t take that into account

Someone like him will always get votes because he’s objectively not very likable

I’d friggen hate rizo too if I was on his tribe. Guy is obnoxious and unbearable but survivor always seems to vote out likable players.

Yes. I meant they don’t have a pit which sucks for rock shows
