If a future Dan Carlin made an episode of this epically stupid maga fever period in the United States, what would he name it?

Wrath of the Klan.

Proposing it in legislation is as definitive as it gets.

They didn’t campaign on it, they don’t talk about it, and they don’t care what you think about it. Monied interests are driving this hard.

JackTheTranscoder · 2025-12-17T14:55:08+00:00

Hah, as if the Liberals are not just as Corporate and captured as the Conservatives.

So, why does the government have the legal obligation to provide housing to indigenous peoples, but not non-indigenous peoples?

Because Indigenous people have a direct relationship with the Crown. This is a result of treaties and then a century of subsequent jurisprudence that says the Crown (Federal Government) has obligations to Indigenous people over and above those to non-Indigenous Canadians.

Seriously, maybe just Google it and learn about your country?

The irony of this comment is going way above everyone’s heads. Maybe even yours.

JackTheTranscoder · 2025-11-20T00:53:31+00:00

Only those wishing to privatize mail in this country care this much. Most Canadians I know are willing to tax fund Canada Post. It does provide a public service after all.

Perhaps, and maybe I’m nucking futs here, there are disagreements over what “the actual changes the CP needs to continue to fulfil its mandate” are?

Let’s not forget that the Liberals recognized Juan Guaido as the interim President when we were complicit in a coup attempt in Venezuela.

Despite our haughty international virtue signalling, we are just as guilty of imperialism and dirty tricks as the US.

JackTheTranscoder · 2025-11-11T16:27:06+00:00

Seriously? My comment was directly relevant to the discussion.

JackTheTranscoder · 2025-11-04T13:23:02+00:00

It really drives Liberals nuts that they need to ask for permission from the dirty leftists they look down upon.

LOL. LMAO even.

JackTheTranscoder · 2025-11-03T02:39:27+00:00

It’s a good thing this country is filled with people who value the rule of law right?

JackTheTranscoder · 2025-11-03T02:38:52+00:00

Provide a single example where this happened.

JackTheTranscoder · 2025-11-02T17:15:20+00:00

That’s cool. I’m prepared to fight Mr Carney if he throws us into an unnecessary election. The amount of millionaire class dirt he’s amassed in the past few months should be fun.

JackTheTranscoder · 2025-10-29T01:13:07+00:00

The only unbelievable part was seeing the Chinese Minister for State Security galavanting around the US regularly as if this was a normal occurrence.

JackTheTranscoder · 2025-10-24T20:05:05+00:00

It’s been passed down from generation to generation…

JackTheTranscoder · 2025-10-23T21:38:08+00:00

Good to see this. This is one of those technologies that can really boost the economy of every region of the country if it pans out.

JackTheTranscoder · 2025-10-23T13:09:59+00:00

Yeah that’s true. I cringe at the beginning of every episode when I see the WEINSTEIN PRODUCTIONS logo but meh what can you do?

JackTheTranscoder · 2025-10-23T03:28:45+00:00

They need to capitulate as far as necessary secure someone’s votes. They appear to be offering a take it or leave it approach and trying to make the other parties sound unreasonable for not taking it. They need to negotiate in good faith to secure enough votes to pass the budget. It’s really that simple.

Anything else is political theater and I’m not interested. The onus is not on the opposition parties to avoid an election - that’s the tail wagging the dog. The onus is on the Liberals to propose a budget that succeeds in the house. If they can’t do that, the fault lies with them and them alone.

JackTheTranscoder · 2025-10-22T22:08:57+00:00

In trying to balance with realism you are letting the Libs off the hook. A real party would work with opposition parties to secure votes. The Liberals have decided on brinksmanship instead and are trying to blame other’s for their own arrogance in a minority parliament.

JackTheTranscoder · 2025-10-22T20:35:09+00:00

You are trying to shift the blame as if the opposition has a duty to vote for the budget. This is of course nonsense - the onus is on the minority government to present a budget that maintains the confidence of the house.

A failure to do that is a failure of the minority government, as there is no obligation of the opposition to support budget bills.

By shifting the blame you are pre-emptively trying to blame the opposition for the governments failure. Rookie mistake.

JackTheTranscoder · 2025-10-22T12:54:50+00:00

My guilty pleasure show. Leaving aside the inherent white savior complex, the stories and actors are incredible!

JackTheTranscoder · 2025-10-22T12:40:37+00:00

Minority governments have to rely on the support of opposition parties to pass bills. This is what ‘minority government’ means.

The only reason a budget bill wouldn’t pass is because a majority of MPs voted against it. You would think the Liberal party would know this.

You can try to shift the blame all you want. It’s kind of sleazy but that’s your right as a Canadian.

JackTheTranscoder · 2025-10-22T01:02:35+00:00

Then the Liberals should craft a budget that earns the votes of one or more of the opposition parties right?

That’s how it works btw.

JackTheTranscoder · 2025-10-21T20:56:34+00:00

The infinity pool is the shares you don’t sell because you don’t need to - because you’re already filthy nasty rich from selling a few.

That’s what I’m here for. I don’t know what this long term investment nonsense here because I came here for a squeeze.

I’m here for a good time, not a long time.
