I like the thought of telepathy being both a blessing and a curse admittedly.

I’d be able to know what people are truly thinking, how they think, and what they think of their own thoughts.

It’s weird. Yes you’d learn things you’d probably be better off not knowing or learn some deep secrets about people that might be intrusive or deeply personal, but on the other hand, you could almost be manipulative in a good way with that knowledge.

Always knowing the right thing to say, always knowing what people struggle with, knowing what they need and how to convince them to access the help they require, and even perhaps pulling at strings to get them access to resources they otherwise wouldn’t be able to.

Wow, Putin invading Canada.

Totally real threat that will totally happen in the real world.

People are going to find it hard to care about defending the country if you don’t provide them with the basics to live, just saying.

What a surprise, another self-proclaimed “libertarian” that coincidentally doesn’t believe in personal sovereignty.

Again, I reiterate.

Who is irrationally increasing the cost of living across the globe, specifically with gas prices?

Who else is committing human rights violations, domestically and abroad, and is actively backing those abuses in other countries?

Also that’s specifically for pea starch, whole peas and other pea products are still good to go, that’s far from going back completely on their word, which a certain other country has done countless times.

Pea sales to China strong despite new starch tariff

If I’m taking anybody’s word, it’s the president of Pulse Canada.

“Yeah, the person I’m married to threatens me, punishes me, insults me, and doesn’t value my consent, but it’s better than what the other person could be”

Literal battered woman syndrome. Look, I don’t like China or want more trade with them either, but can we please stop pretending doing business with them will be worse than doing business with the U.S.? One keeps their issues much more domestic than the other? I don’t see China raising world oil prices by bombing Iran, raising my cost of living with absurd tariffs, or going back on their word.

We struck a deal with them, and they removed duties for our canola, crab, peas, and lobster for us letting in their EVs, which opens us up for job creation should they bring manufacturing operations here. In turn, we were made exempt from visa requirements to travel to China. I can see the benefits of that deal because they up the income of our farmers and fishers, open up job potential, and make travelling across the world easier for us.

That is how you strike a deal. They are reliable, the U.S. is not, plain and simple. If this guy’s opinion is that China wants less democracy in the world, then I’d like to point to the amount of dictators America backs and has instated. Let’s stop pretending that only one pulls that crap when they both do.

Leave it to an American to come here, express sorrow to us, and then expect grace from us when all they do is type a sentence in a community that isn’t targeted for them.

I’m sick of Americans coming into other communities, getting on their soap box, and then saying the bare minimum to expect praise. People have stereotypes about us saying sorry all the time, but online all it ever seems to be is self-deprecating Americans coming into communities of other countries saying “sorry we’re like this…” and “I’m sorry for being American”

If you truly cared you wouldn’t be here begging for internet points in a performative confessional, get out and do something, showcase it, and then maybe you get a pass because ten years of this crap in varying degrees has gotten extremely tiring.

Cool, instead of wasting money on American weaponry, we instead waste money on European weaponry.

All while our social safety nets are being cut, all while Carney and the Liberals do nothing to defend public healthcare with the Canada Health Act, and all in the midst of both an opioid and affordability crisis.

Glad to know we have our priorities straight…

Then just call him a pedophile and don’t minimise the effects of the crime by making it lighthearted enough for Joe Schmoe to joke about at a dinner table thinking they’re funny.

Like tell me how repeatedly saying “grab 'er by the pussy” worked out as a joke. It did jack. People seem to be thinking this is some big protest movement when all it is is keyboard warrior stuff that doesn’t get anything done, and I honestly I hate saying that because I ideologically agree with anybody who says that.

At a point it just feels like there’s a reversal of the initial intent where it unintentionally starts normalising jokes about sexual assault.

Being completely real here, the Epstein jokes are so overdone and unfunny to me that it’s starting to feel like it’s taking away from the seriousness of the crime committed.

Chapman’s I beg of you.

Please separate your lactose-free products from your No Sugar Added products. I want to support your company, but what’s the point of having your lactose free ice cream if I’m going to have the Haribo gummy bear experience if I eat it anyway?

Your company is great, let me support youuuuu

SLIPPERY SLOPE!!! If I can’t call people slurs in public, next they’ll be after my ability to say Hop (2011) was the best film ever made!

It should be federally mandated that wages for jobs are fixed to inflation.

You can’t really do anything diplomatic when the other side continually showcases they lack any respect for diplomacy whatsoever.

The moment the man in charge literally called himself an idiot when asking who’d ever sign a deal like CUSMA, it was an admission that they don’t care. We got hit with tariffs for reasons that weren’t based on facts. We got rid of the digital services tax as a concession already. We already had the CRTC roll back a decision to triple financial contributions to Canadian content from online streaming services. Then came the Gordie Howe Bridge dispute where we made concessions for tolls on a bridge we paid for. We were going to concede even more with the removal of alcohol bans.

Yet, it’s just now that Carney and the Liberals realise that this isn’t worth it? Any progressive in this country could have told you this from the get go.

Cool, so what we already knew was going to happen, happened.

Colour me shocked. Glad to know we wasted so much time trying to negotiate with what may as well be a bunch of shit-flinging apes when we could have been putting more focus in more deals with the EU, establishing CANZUK, and literally any other endeavour that doesn’t include the U.S…

Cool, we’re just throwing those struggling with addiction under the bus for a cheap shot in order to… shit on an independent news publication?

I too hate small local news publishers for seemingly no reason

I RESPONDED TO THE WRONG COMMENT NOOO

No reason, you have insurance, right?

I’ve been getting into My Chemical Romance a lot more as of late.

Aside from that, Shiloh.
