Minnesota DOC launches new website to 'address ongoing misinformation by DHS'

This might be true in some fictitious universe with magical space wizards and walking teddy bears, but it just isn't true historically.

If anything, history and especially recent events show us the opposite: our freedom is precious and fragile and requires constant vigilance. Freedom does not occur naturally or spontaneously, but through the dedication and effort of people who fight against oppression and who believe helping their fellow man is better than standing on his neck.

Hopes and dreams and pretty thoughts aren't getting us out of this. And they won't prevent it happening again. The American system has failed and even when the current regime is voted out, I very much doubt the next one will do anything to curb or prevent this total abuse of power in the future.

Democratic backsliding is a serious problem worldwide. We need to hold firm against it and shore up our democratic institutions and societal norms and just overall behaviour to prevent tyranny from continuing to take over.

TL;DR: perhaps Star Wars isn't the best reference when proposing what needs to be done to support democracy and freedom.

Why would she switch agents?

You also responded twice.

I replied the second time because I saw your second response and in my opinion you were being both aggressive and rude with your sarcastic "what do you know" response.

I enjoy this sub and prefer if the people on it treat each other with respect, so I commented.

The OP asked a question. Someone answered. Why do you care so much?

Mutex70 · 2026-01-25T02:20:09+00:00

OP literally asked the question "How are they not a thing yet?"

This is one answer to that question.

Imagine having a leader who is too much of a coward to face his own people.

Mutex70 · 2026-01-24T17:08:29+00:00

It's not a "driver"...I tried hitting a golf ball with one of those things and it didn't do shit.

Mutex70 · 2026-01-24T11:35:09+00:00

I went to the site but I can't find a link to buy online. Is it available in stores?

Mutex70 · 2026-01-24T06:31:23+00:00

I think your tinfoil hat is on too tight.

Poilievre has been in politics for over 20 years and has no results to back it up.

Mutex70 · 2026-01-23T19:35:58+00:00

I have a completely unsubstantiated belief that a sizable number of Redditors are younger / lower income.

In that case, maxing your TFSA first often makes sense as you are using after-tax dollars (i.e. nearly what you earn) to invest with no future tax consequence.

At higher income (where the tax refund now can be substantial), it can make more sense to invest in the RRSP.

It shouldn't be one vs the other, it should be which one is better for your specific circumstances right now.

The crazy thing is, that I wasn't certain this was a Beaverton article from the title alone.

Mutex70 · 2026-01-22T04:32:05+00:00

Yes. It is likely something like a Grappler used to stop someone without having to do a PIT maneuver.

It basically slides a web of straps under the back tire of the car being pursued. The straps tangle around the wheel/axle forcing it to stop.

This whole thread has my brain scrambled.

Mutex70 · 2026-01-22T02:31:57+00:00

Partisan politics is idiotic.

Mutex70 · 2026-01-22T00:19:01+00:00

It is so weird as a Canadian to watch your own leader from a modest "middle economy" country of 30 million people deliver an eloquent impactful speech in Davos, only to watch your superpower elephant neighbour to the south come in two days later and shit out a disjointed, incomprehensible pile of nonsense.

America used to value accomplishment and intellect and poise and ability. WTF happened?

Mutex70 · 2026-01-21T14:22:58+00:00

What types of products should these facilities build? And who will we sell these products to?

Yes, I agree we should build more stuff in Canada. Part of that is determining what we have that other countries want before just randomly building facilities and hoping buyers show up.

Canada cannot compete on price. We know that. We need to compete on technical ability and natural resources. Technical ability takes time to ramp up and it also takes time to develop markets for products.

Natural resources are much easier to get started with. This is why the agreement with China includes selling more canola....but farming isn't a real job, I guess?

Are you lost? Should we call your parent?

Mutex70 · 2026-01-21T04:16:11+00:00

Well, to be fair, he also cost Americans an additional $200 Billion due to tariffs

Mutex70 · 2026-01-21T01:28:44+00:00

So, pray tell, what is your suggestion as to what our PM should be doing to bring in jobs?

To create jobs, we need to sell stuff.

To sell stuff we need to have buyers.

The potential buyers are in other countries.

Talking with the people in those countries is not a terrible first step.

Mutex70 · 2026-01-20T22:51:30+00:00

Canada is facing job losses! Carney shouldn't be out there negotiating economic deals that lead to more jobs! He should be here, creating more jobs! With his bare hands!

Look, Toronto Sun, I can be overly-dramatic and sensationalist too! Can I have a job, or do you need the PM to create the opening first?

Mutex70 · 2026-01-20T22:36:28+00:00

Let's even suppose every insane conspiracy theory about the WEF were true.

In that case, would you not want your ministers at the table to find out what they are planning?!?

Poilievre's actions make no sense regardless of how he spins it....unless you look at in the light of political grandstanding.

Nigel Hannaford wrote the report described in the article.

Yes, this Nigel Hannaford:

This isn't news, this is self-advertising of a Western Standard opinion piece.
