Natural beauties from HK's 1990s pop culture is the benchmark of what is considered attractive in the Sinosphere. Completely different standards from the West.

No Brampton for you guys!

@hilton_ctwh Really cool trip

Last year, I traveled from Shanghai to Xinjiang (ending at Urumqi) by train, stopping at 5 places in between. This time, I went from Hong Kong to Beijing, visiting 5 places in between as well. Some people might question the point of doing so, but I really enjoy these long multi-province/city voyages in China because you get to enjoy and experience the provincial and regional diversity of the country. -Hong Kong is where I was born (though I didn't grow up there) and where I also worked for a few years in the 2010s. -Dongguan is known more for being a manufacturing center rather than a tourism spot, but one of my grandparents hails from here as well as a great Ming-dynasty general. -Hunan province. I visited Hunan years ago but didn't spend much time in Changsha so I decided to rectify that. I also wanted to visit a smaller city so I chose Yueyang, which lies on Dongting Lake, China's second-largest. -Shijiazhuang is the capital of Hebei, a fine province but one which I've never been to so I decided to correct this injustice this time -Taiyuan is another northern provincial capital that is not too popular but as the ancient capital of dusty but dignified Shanxi province, it deserved a visit as well. It turned out to be a very good choice. -Beijing is where I lived and worked for a couple of years in the 2010s but this was the first time I was visiting it after leaving over 10 years ago.

@MarinaC34558 lmao I was a Tory, I think it'll help you to know that many who used to campaign for the conservatives have switched and crossed to the liberals because of how despicable the party has become. With people like you in the movement, the liberals won't even need to work to win.

Look at this guy. Way off. Typical liberal. At least they show they are the elite rich and not with the little man or the poor.

@MarinaC34558 @CoopTory @TheChaosWeeber Gong to Carleton and not ending up in the federal government is certainly a testament of his abilities, keep coping while my peers and I run this country.

@VRCT25 @CoopTory @TheChaosWeeber You could not be more off about myself. Not even close. Im a McMaster graduate 🤣🤣 and my work? NOT EVEN CLOSE BUDDY. I'm laughing my hat off. My husband ? Masters Degree from Carleton. Dude. Get off your propaganda you know nothing. Everything is said holds.

Anti-elite sentiment is not at an all time high in Canada. The vast majority of Canadians are satisfied with the Prime Minister being a globetrotting anglophile banker who went to Harvard and Oxford. You’ll never win until you can read the room and stop thinking we are the US.

@MarinaC34558 @CoopTory @TheChaosWeeber Yes, typical Merchant Right. You do not hold a high level managerial position, and you have a contempt against the Natural Governing party of Canada. The working class, such as yourself, votes for the CPC/NDP, while the Liberals enjoy support from the Upper-class. No offence.

Merchant girl? Really ? Typical condescending liberal smug microagression label to dodge the data. My points were factual. 2025 popular vote: CPC 41.3%, LPC 43.8% (Liberal minority at 169 seats).Not all 'white collars' vote Liberal. Field of study matters: applied STEM/engineers often prioritize housing, taxes & regulation differently from dense urban social sciences/public-sector clusters (that gave Liberals their seat cushion via density). Waterloo? You contradicted yourself. It's a major STEM/tech hub, yet Conservatives flipped 3 seats in the region (Cambridge, Kitchener Centre, Kitchener South-Hespeler). Not a Liberal monolith. Data over caricatures. Urban-rural plays a role, but the nuance I posted holds.

OP is one of those uneducated mfs stuck in the 19th century who gets angry at Sinos because he thinks they're poor, while local whites are angry at browns uber eats ppl instead. That is because they know the Chinese are rich, educated, productive, and don't bother anyone.

@MarinaC34558 @CoopTory @TheChaosWeeber “Common sense” spoken like a true merchant right. Piketty was right the whole time lol. It’s nothing more than an urban rural divide, white collars mostly vote liberal. How are you even equating trt/mtl to social sciences lmao there’s plenty stem programs, Waterloo is red btw…

No one credible is saying "only truckers vote Conservative" that's a lazy strawman that ignores how voting actually works in Canada. In the 2025 federal election, Conservatives took ~41.3% of the popular vote (very close to the Liberals' ~43.8% for their minority government). They drew support from a wide range of voters Not all "educated" voters are the same. Engineers, many STEM grads, economists, and other applied professionals often prioritize practical outcomes, productivity, and real-world trade-offs factors where Conservative messaging on housing costs, taxes, and regulatory burden resonated more. In contrast, dense urban ridings in Toronto, Montreal, and Ottawa (home to big universities) are heavy in social sciences, humanities, gender/sex studies, and sociology programs, where progressive cultural views and public-sector concentrations drive stronger Liberal support. Those ridings delivered the Liberals' seat cushion thanks to population density.Plenty of engineers, doctors, economists, and other "real" professionals voted Conservative in 2025 for common-sense fiscal and practical reasons not ideology. Liberals dominated the big-city cores with high university/public-sector clusters, but Conservatives held their own or led among diverse cohorts and applied fields. Voting isn't one-dimensional. Region, age, specific issues (like U.S. relations vs. domestic economy), and personal circumstances all play roles. Reducing millions of Conservative voters to "just truckers" dismisses the actual electoral map and the clear differences by field of study and occupation .Data over caricatures. Saying that the same professionals who are leaving Canada because of the liberal will vote liberal is just laughable.

@MarinaC34558 @CoopTory @TheChaosWeeber Many stay, and the one who leave can still vote. The Brahmin Left, who are smart and educated, all vote liberal. Truck drivers vote conservative.

@VRCT25 @CoopTory @TheChaosWeeber Canada's most educated workforce is leaving and moving south of the border, just because of that old charlatan. People who are smart are jumping ship. The stats don't lie.

@MarinaC34558 @CoopTory @TheChaosWeeber Canada has the most educated workforce in the G7. Of course we love well educated politicians.

@CoopTory @TheChaosWeeber Not like boomers.

It's pretty crazy to call a train from Montreal to Toronto a "train to nowhere"

Because Tim Hortons has become shit and everyone knows it

四十岁后，终于发现了一个真相，所有的关系，到最后都归于消亡。儿时玩伴早已断了联系，曾经的同窗情谊也逐渐消散，单位里聊得好的同事离开后也再无交集。父母慢慢变老，离开自己的日子越来越近了。孩子慢慢长大，跟自己越来越远了。最终发现啊，只有你还是你，你只有你。 人生其实真的很短，不过匆匆几十年，一觉醒来，是一天，一觉醒不来，便是一生，好好珍惜每一天，做自己想做的事，爱自己想爱的人。

Back in 2022, I supported the Biden chip-export controls on China. After a week with Chinese AI researchers and tech leaders, I've changed my mind. The controls are not working, and they obstruct another strategy that just might work. Models like Anthropic's Mythos show us how dangerous AI is becoming. Not governing AI is not an option. nytimes.com/2026/04/13/opi…
