Will it work if I do this from Canada? I haven’t had a period in over 4 years (help, I’ve been pregnant for 4 years!) But I want to help y’all too!

I can’t really see the difference :S

Ah okay. In Canada the day after remembrance day is usually the “respectful” start of the season.

So, tomorrow presumably?

I think Mercury’s been in retrograde for a really long time, can we ask the astrologers to fix it so the world can go back to being sane?

Lol the NDP only won by like 20 votes this election so not as progressive as you’d think. Also our NDP is still center left so not that progressive at all.

Accessible abortion rights will almost certainly be back on the chopping block next election.

I don’t think we’ll have it nearly as bad as America because our political system works a bit differently but the conservative leader/party definitely have the hallmarks of trumpism with white nationalism, climate change denying, anti-women and anti-trans issues. They’re going to play the same “we’re better for the economy” game as well.

I’m getting emotional whiplash from the amount my emotions go from “fuck them all violence is the only answer” to “you should keep an open door for when their faces are undoubtedly eaten by leopards and need help”

Can you or someone share what it is? I’m scared to google it now hahaha.

Pretty sure everyone in the world is either 30, 60 or a child.

In that context it makes sense though, it’s being used as an adjective, as is “older”.

In the Summertime by Mungo Jerry. It’s such a nice catchy tune that I enjoyed until my partner pointed out:

Have a drink, have a drive Go out and see what you can find If her daddy’s rich, take her out for a meal If her daddy’s poor, just do what you feel

Which, ew.

I think pumped up kicks is actually a really poignant statement on how normalized gun violence is in the states, to the point where this song was all over radios and I’m sure all over high school dances and nobody thought twice about it. Like obviously the band did it intentionally but the fact that the point was missed so hard by everyone who sang along. It is like Hey Ya vibes to me, or smells like teen spirit for the older crowds. The point is to take these very serious ideas and use them to highlight people’s willful ignorance.

I’m Canadian, but I think after next year I’ll be on our own track, only with a slightly smaller and less effective train

Just, like, spend it all on hookers and blow or what?

Would this honestly surprise you?

It would be, if those same billionaire owners didn’t pull the politician’s puppet strings.

Canada won’t go around calling out other people’s genocide when it can’t even recognize its own. Not in their (the govs) best interests.

Maybe if the doctors flee America when their health care system is destroyed they’ll come back to Canada and we can have some GPs, as a treat.

Thank you very much for this summary. Sadly I do feel some sort of understanding to a lot of Trump voters that genuinely thought they were making a good decision, and I think your summary reflects why people would feel that way. I 100% disagree with them, but I can understand their frustration and do see a lot of that reflected in Canadian politics as well.

I’m curious about the comment on Singh. As long as I’ve been following/supporting the NDP, I’ve always felt like they were more working class and really haven’t seen a whole lot of identity politics in their expressions. With the exception of maybe racism stuff, but I feel like given Jagmeet’s own (obvious) identity, this would be a central issue to him as a leader and to them as a party. I have seen them express in interviews about concerns for the working class many times otherwise.

PP and federal conservatives have already expressed anti trans sentiment so I won’t be surprised if it gets introduced into federal politics as well next election. We barely scraped by in BC to avoid the transphobic pos conservative leader this time around. I’m getting ready to fight.

Oh, also both major parties in BC wanted involuntary placement so that’s also well underway here too. Gotta love that :/
