So what is Quillette? A safe space for Jorp fanboys to circlejerk amongst themselves and pretend they're intellectuals?

I've only started hearing about them recently and every single thing I've heard from or about them is just utter garbage.

It's the literary journal of the Jordan Peterson Fan Club.

Someone just posted the Pegida folks, along with Ron Banerjee, Canadian Nationalist Party folks, and the bike helmet waterhead fleeing Pride on Youtube. Of course, they provided an appropriate soundtrack. :discourse:

Cheech Wizard stories are clean, wholesome, reflective truths that go great with the marijuana munchies and a blow job.

That's not a derail, that's quality CanPol entertainment, that is.

Had a call from Canada Proud this evening trying to run a voting intention poll on my voicemail. All I can find on them is a Facebook page "Proud Canadians working to defeat Trudeau." Since I'm not curious enough to hand Zuckerberg more data I didn't read it, I assume they're some sort of support group for the Conservatives and comfortable with a fascist-adjacent sounding name?

also, Quillette is a publication for "Why can only Black People say the N-Word?" and "Actually, it's Ephebophilia."

Saskatchewan challenged the federal carbon tax, and the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal found it to be constitutional back in early May. The Saskatchewan case is already being appealed to the Supreme Court, which makes the Ontario case somewhat moot.

Let me tell you about my opinion about Bernie Sanders and why Donald Trump is his true successor.

You cannot vote Hillary Clinton because she is worse than Trump.
I just realized that Marianne Williamson would be a far better alternative to Canada's Green Party.

Pathetic. A true monarchist knows that Canada must disavow the false German Pretender to the throne and instead recognize that the true monarch is Franz II, Duke of Bavaria, and by the Grace of God, King of England, Scotland, France and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, etc.

With Britain's sun rapidly setting there has never been a better time for Canada to get on the right side of history and invite the good Duke to leave Munich and assume his rightful throne in Ottawa. Merely abolishing the monarchy doesn't feel vindictive enough.

That verse of O Canada already has a couple lines that start with "we" so I think "the true north" should be replaced considering recent sporting events.
