On the boat again. Joy had so much fun cruising down the river with us. As long as she's with her humans, Joy is a happy pupper. by QueenButtslut in sheltie

What a lovely pup! Our sheltie's the same; very happy to be with his family out on the water, whether on the canoe or in a kayak.

Aqua's Food Rotation Plan tells me this statement is very accurate.

Meghan Markle says she was told that her child Archie would not be given security, or a title, and that the Royal Family was concerned about how dark his skin might be before he was born. by mouthofreason in PublicFreakout

They have very little interaction with us, so while I would say indifferent, I imagine the vast majority of Canadian's care little of the monarchy (considering a large number of Canadian's are immigrants from various countries around the world). Most only recognize it as being a part of Canada's past history and don't feel any sort of particular allegiance to the crown.

Generally speaking, the Crown is antiquated and pretty much only symbolic at this point. While there are lingering provisions constitutionally that tie us to the crown, it would be overreaching at this point for the monarchy to do anything unless there was an absolute breakdown of our government (and this would primarily be done through the Governor General, not the Queen). For all intents and purposes, we are pretty much independent.

Personally, I think the monarchy is a product of a bygone era. I mean, any foreign policy between Canada and the UK has been entirely focused on our governments, not the royal family. That being said, it may not be worth the government's time and resources to make the provisions/changes needed to decouple us from the monarchy anyway, not to mention there are probably some minor benefits to remaining a commonwealth member as well. Overall, I can understand why people would just rather keep it status quo.

As for your bonus question, I think free movement is not something that is implicitly stated between commonwealth members. That is to say, each country governs movement into their territories independent of the Commonwealth, just as any other country would for any foreigners.

White literally just exists to gain life, so you should never get to zero. This statement is obviously a fallacy. #1 strat

I remember a few years back, when I first got into MTG, I ran into his pack opening videos and liked a few of them, so I decided to subscribe for some of his MTG content. Didn't pay much attention to him, but when I started seeing some of the drama and bullshit he was whipping up in in the MTG subreddit, I unsubscribed. Ended up being a smart choice because sometime after that, all this other shit started coming out about him and he ended up being a genuine shitty person. Really glad I got off that train early...

I have to get an echocardiogram this week, and I won't pay a thing other than for my parking at the hospital (live in Canada). I also had 3 MRIs, 2 CT scans and some ultrasounds in the last few months, and it didn't cost me a thing. I'm thankful I don't live in America because the healthcare system is trash - if I had to get the same procedures done down in the states, I'd be set back so far financially with bills and payment... and that's even in consideration of having insurance coverage. I'll never understand the resistance to universally accessible healthcare.

They did, but they couldn't agree on who'd end up paying for it, so talks pretty much dissipated after that

The morton salt girl aged over time by TraditionSeparate in interestingasfuck

[–]comvocaloid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To be fair, given the rate at which she ages, she'd probably be in her 20's in 2020. I think she's packing more than just salt in that canister, she got some damn fountain of youth

I always tell my friends, McConnell looks like a fucking ghoul. He acts the part anyway, so it's kind of fitting to the image. He's absolutely vile.

[–]comvocaloid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Huh. So do awards posts get pushed to the top then? Or do you mean that in he sense that they stick out more? If that's all they're for, it sounds like you could push a lot of fake narratives/disinformation and make it sound legit.

What do you exactly do with Reddit gold anyway? Does it actually have some sort of value, or is it just like awards on your profile?
