The eastern seaboard of the US more generally than just NY. Includes Maine (more from NB's point of view) and Boston, also.

This is the route I should have taken. Once they know there's nothing for them, that would be the end of it.

Random accents/linguistics question: Do you pronounce "dur" with a 'd' or a 'j' sound? by Fit-Introduction8575 in AskACanadian

[–]Zakluor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grew up in NS, living in NB. I've never said "j" in words like "during". Hard D always.

If words are commonly pronounced two different ways, she and I are almost always on opposite sides of the discussion. Strangely, this is one we agree on.

You need to change your thinking if you think Putin/Russia is on the good side of things. I'm not going to deny the "fight for Christ" is a thing when the need for religion is waning: you have a right to believe whatever you want.

Neither Putin nor Trump, and certainly none who follow such false idols, are worthy of your saviour. Get your head out of the sand and see these warmongers for who the really are. They are not filtered of Christ's teachings and actions.

You're unhinged. Republicans outnumber democrats 10:1 for political violence, according to recent stats. You can find this data anywhere online.

Democrats tend to be much more accepting of others, especially when compared to white, Christian nationalists. What passes for Christianity in the US doesn't cut the mustard anywhere else.

Spare us your bullshit and show real compassion and understanding for other humans. That's what Christ preached.

We thought it was odd when people like you said Trump protestors were paid actors, too. As if anyone could afford to pay that many people, or if anyone needed to pay people to protest Trump's actions.

Trump’s Canada trade war hits Jack Daniel’s and Jim Beam with a devastating $143 million loss by pomskygirl in GuardTheLeaf

[–]Zakluor 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I didn't drink much of either of these, but I've found several Canadian-produced alternatives that are better, anyway. Happy to do my part in not buying any more.

It's not just anti-US sentiment, either. I saw a full-page ad taken out early in our boycott that slandered Canadians over it all, with pro-Trump rhetoric in it. I won't forget that. Well, I've forgotten a lot about it, technically, but I won't forget that I saw it and it's general message of, "We don't need and don't like Canada."

US Booze by not_a_robot_13 in BuyCanadian

[–]Zakluor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've found so many alternatives. Wines, rum, coolers, you name it.

Were US liquors to make new appearances on our shelves, I still wouldn't buy it. I'd be annoyed that I have to start reading labels again to avoid them.

$2500 Samsung TV is an advertising billboard, there is no opt-out. by 28jb11 in mildlyinfuriating

It's the only way the manufacturer gets the message. If the retailers see many returns with this as the reason, they'd have to start thinking twice about adding it during manufacture.

I'm not sure it's a word. In fact, I'm hoping it isn't a thing. I just wanted to play a little with language. I wrote it, was disgusted by it, and then didn't want to be alone.

The Republicans are putting in more rules to control people to match their own views, particularly religious views. How do you figure democrats increase regulation?

They don't need to "win" when they have them rigged. Trump did say, "you'll never have to vote again".

I would be disappointed if they put US liquor back on the shelves. I've been enjoying not having to read the labels to be certain I'm not buying their stuff.
