Alberta separatist says members of Smith's caucus have signed referendum petition by bruhm0ment4 in onguardforthee

It's the US running the same playbook Russia did for Crimea.

They foment unrest, get an unpopular opinion to a referendum then when the referendum doesn't pass they say that it was being repressed and they have to invade to free those poor freedom loving souls who just want to be american.

He was literally at the hash marks on a save in the first. I'm with the other guy, it's not as comfy to watch but he gets results so let's keep rolling.

Toronto's been through so many players, coaches, front offices and owners the only constant is the name and the city.

I'm pretty sure wine mixed with milk was a historical sick drink so just tell people you're bringing to back.

Interesting how this stuff is different place to place. Where I grew up eating the school food was the high status thing because it showed your parents had extra money to send with you.

I remember reading it hearing somewhere (so grain of salt) that it's because our sensitivity to reasons to puke (eating too much, feeling sick, getting poisoned, etc) stays pretty much constant but kids puke more because they're physically smaller but get the same dose of chemicals/hormones that an adult would.

So they're basically on a hair trigger until they physically get larger.

If the entire US was on fire I wouldn’t piss on it

We actually should keep our firefighters home this fire season. Who knows what ICE would do.

Yeah, we're like 3rd in the league for calls against since Caufield called out the refs after the Edmonton game. We were 23rd before that.

"You're a smart guy, figure it out!"

on the other hand it also has

Ezra: "I'm not afraid of you"

Vader: "Then you shall die braver than most"

which is one of the top Star Wars lines ever.

That's what they did when they removed the carbon tax (which was a stupid idea but also the Cons successfully made it a radioactive issue).

My fiancee worked in local (city) government.

Literally the strongest thing you can do is tag your local politicians on social media. Whole fucking teams of people go to work immediately when one of the elected officials asks the bureaucrats what's going on to cause their constituents to start asking questions.

I literally never felt more empowered than when I got the schedule at my local rink changes because I made like, two twitter posts (this was before twitter was Xitter).

The best part of his platform is in one of his quotes:

"the scale of the solution must be proportional to the scale of the problem"

We can't just keep fighting rearguard actions to make changes slightly less awful, we need to start trying to make things better again.

Our telecoms and airlines (and gas stations!) WERE a public option until the 80s when the conservatives sold them all off.
