Just saw a little CBC clip pop up on facebook looking back at the Quebec sovereignty referendum. I was too young to pay much attention to it back in 95, so I'd never seen this before. It's from the concession speech from whoever this guy was that presumably was heading up the vote to  .Guess you guys aren't kidding about the Quebecois being racist as hell:

Suspicious posted:Yeah, Parizeau sure spoke for every single resident of this province. Sorry didn't mean that of course. But it was a 49% vote, and there's the spokesperson saying they lost due to "ethnics", on national TV. That's a hell of a thing to say in public if you don't have wide support, as there is some serious baggage attached to saying a thing like that. He obviously wasn't just neutrally and objectively stating statistics.

Seems that at least in my quarantined online extended friends of friends circle, the go-to name for Trudeau is now "Trudy Trudough". Because Trudy is a woman's name, and women are weak of course, and dough because, something to do with having money or spending money, I guess? People are so loving weird. At least let the guy actually enact a somewhat centrist policy that doesn't actually change your life at all before you get all bent out of shape about it. ----- Nice new av bunny. Gotta admit months back I thought you were a nice guy but a bit of a fool for working so hard for an obviously doomed and pointless campaign. Even lost $50 betting on a Con win! Never been happier to be wrong. Grats on winning the CanPol thread. Sunny ways, bitches.

Justin Trudeau is the Prime Minister, which means he is the leader of the country. He wants do a thing that costs a lot of money, and that money will come from taxes. Tax is what the government steals from your paycheque.

PT6A posted:I think the Conservatives are hosed right now, because without the presence of Dear Leader to shut up the wingnuts who would complain about things like "investigating sexual harassment," the party and its supporters will go completely insane. Harper ruled the party with an iron fist. There are going to be some really "interesting" opinions coming out of the CPC woodwork now that he's gone. Looking forward to the eventual split between the "lets be just like the liberals but a tiny bit more right" and the "ABORTION EVIL KILL MUSLIMS" factions in the days to come.

Baronjutter posted:Yeah, with the amount of people I know who are either passionately anti-monarchist or just don't give a poo poo about the royal family or its links to Canada in any way I would not say a picture of the queen is a symbol of national unity. I think most Canadians just don't care one way or the other and if and she was taken off our coins people would barely notice. I doubt the english royal family is very popular in Quebec either. Just put up a drat  flag or an Emily Carr nature scene. Nice and boring, very neutral. Very representative.

Nothing was open. Every store was black. I wandered and wandered, stomach growling, until finally the candle lit store front of the SHAWARMA KING appeared. Their grill was all gas powered, they took cash, and the meats were hot. That was the best shawarma of my life.

Stretch Marx posted:Part of my project is to create a more contained hydroponics rig that would maximize the amount of plants versus available space. I think my test bed rig design should be able to handle about 10 to 12 plants in a space that's 4 feet wide, 2 feet deep, and roughly 5 or so feet tall using LED lights. Just make sure the system is customizable/modular enough to grow a pot plant beside your lettuce and tomatoes and it'll sell like hotcakes. PT6A posted:In other news, apparently another mosque was vandalized, this time in Cold Lake Buttfuck nowhere O&G and military town... Surprised they even have any Muslims up there. I suspect the anti-muslim backlash is probably going to trail off in Canada without the CPC actively encouraging it. Get back to our Canadian roots of only being vocally racist towards natives and keep the other racism in hushed tones around the dinner table.

In other lighter news, JT got dad's desk out of storage for his office to replace Harper's. *Insert image of the ghost of Trudeau laughing over sad Harper here.* Pretty boss desk. Made in 1880 and used by Wilfrid Laurier, Lester B. Pearson, Jean Chrétien and Paul Martin.

bunnyofdoom posted:Promise kept! Closing it was a serious tactical mistake on Harper's part. In the big picture the additional costs were meaningless compared the the benefits (real and optical) of keeping it open. Pretty much everyone in the city was super pissed about it. It came off as vindictive, petty and dangerous. Great combo.

B33rChiller posted:Would the PM bother with the minutia of where individual stations are operating? I doubt it was a decision made by Harper. Likely came from within the Coast Guard, either the Ottawa or Victoria office. I don't doubt Trudeau instantly recognised the points he could score promising to re-open it though. It became a big political issue, I agree he wouldn't have been the one to pick it out at first, but once it blew up as an election issue it certainly would have crossed his desk and could have been vetoed.

Helsing posted:So if you want to convince people not to give up on politics you need to be ready to endure a lot of snark and sarcasm as you explain why you think it's worthwhile to participate. I agree, and if it was anyone else saying something like that I'd give an honest attempt to explain why it's an unhelpful and self-defeating (if understandable) position. That was just lazy even for CI though. Keep the effort posts coming man. You could probably write and sell a book on the state of politics today and the actual concrete steps needed to fix things if you ever wanted to.

If I was the feds I'd want to get the ball rolling on getting weed legalized and taxed ASAP. It's likely to be a drop in the taxation bucket, but at this point every extra chunk of revenue is going to be helpful. Save us, weedconomy, you're our only hope.

Legit sucks for the single dudes trying to get out, but to be a bit ethically clinical about it it really does make sense to help the families/women+kids first. In a perfect world we should help everyone who needs it, but this isn't a perfect world. Doubt anybody anticipated the Europe thing but it's looking like a very clever political move to screen out single guys.
