  • I can’t speak for others, but I upvoted based on this being meaningful content that we all need to see. I’d downvote the rich as jerks who are pushing for sucking more money out of Canada’s economy for their personal edification, though, and maybe that’s what the downvotes really are, but you know how it is on Lemmy, or Reddit, for that matter. If it’s not a bot or sock puppet operated by some group or another acting to ‘shape discourse’, it’s some braindead idiot who has been caught up in those groups. Hopefully actual thinkers will be around soon enough to upvote you out of the negatives. And if not, just shrug. You’re not deep in the negatives, and you aren’t doing anything wrong highlighting this nonsense.





  • Very interesting. I’ll have to look. My mom was the genealogist of our family, so she has some great records. As far as I’m aware, none of my ancestors are Canadian, but it seems that this site is saying to dig deeply into both my wife’s and my family history and look for any indications someone might have had a Canadian background? I’ll look, but even if it doesn’t apply to me, maybe it can get some other good people out of this rapidly worsening country.

    I’m thinking even if this doesn’t help me, it’ll potentially help others!



  • Canada took one look at what Poilievre had to offer, looked at the guy who is spewing much the same crap down here, and decided maybe they didn’t want anything to do with that and stuck with liberals. It doesn’t mean that the CPC doesn’t have a shot at a victory next election. They did get more seats this time than in 2021. And they probably can just ditch the anti-woke nonsense and campaign on kitchen table issues next election. If LPC doesn’t get its act together and address Canadian citizens pain, that will probably work for the CPC. Hopefully the Shitgibbon won’t make good on his threats to annex Canada.


  • And this is the bullshit reasoning that got us into this mess.

    The time to have principles is in the Primary, where you and your buddies go out and convince the rest of the Democratic leaning people that maybe we should impress AOC or some other leftie to run in the Primaries, then convince people in places like this to vote for that leftie in the Primary. Once the Primary happens, you have to weigh what happened and will happen, and vote accordingly. By not voting, the people you’re insisting I have compassion for voted for the Shitgibbon and everything he has done. Harris might have continued funding the IDF, but because of the people you’re sucking up to here, Trump is directly supporting the genocide with an eye for preemo real-estate after it’s said and done.

    Don’t be stupid and enable that cruelty. Wait. Too late for that~!












  • Not quite,

    Overall, 50 percent of those polled said they disapprove of “recent tariffs announced by Donald Trump,” split between 39 percent for “strongly disapprove” and 11 percent for “somewhat disapprove.” By contrast 39 percent said they approve, of which 21 percent did so “strongly” while 18 percent did so “somewhat.”

    It is still disappointing that 39% will align with Trump despite all of this, but keep in mind that there’s a floor to Trump’s support numbers. We’ll never be able to approach all of them.

    Let’s see what happens on the undecideds over the next few months as the impact of Trump’s tariffs hit. Heck, keep an eye on that 18% “Somewhat Approve”. That’s got to make some of the GQP reps a bit nervous!



  • Dear reader, the most surefire way to recognise a person who has his head so far up Trump’s rear that he can taste the burnt steak Trump had for his last meal is see the letters T, D, and S strung together in the empty-headed attempt to politically attack somebody else. It’s not smart. It doesn’t win the argument. It is a clear sign that the person using these letters in this way is a sycophant for the current admin and should be avoided by every decent person on the fucking planet.

    This user asked what was being protested. I made it clear what was being protested. I knew this user was not here to debate honestly or faithfully because it doesn’t take any effort whatsoever to find the answer to this user’s bad faith question. But I answered so it can’t say the Left doesn’t know what it’s protesting. Denied that avenue, it drops some both-sides bullshit and then goes on a political attack.

    I don’t give a shit about what it thinks about my points, or where it thinks I got them from. It asked the question, and showed why other users here are calling it a Sea Lion.
