@GigglingGanon For what it’s worth, had he been in Canada as soon as he said no questions at a spot check he would on the FO end of FA quickly.

Motorcyclist owns police at a DUI checkpoint by saying nothing. The power of exercising your right to remain silent is so powerful.
A multi-agency DUI checkpoint at the California-Nevada border was not ready for a man that was willing to push the boundaries of control and patience.
When the officer asks the standard probing questions, the rider doesn't argue, yell, or escalate. He simply uses six powerful words: "I don't wanna answer any questions."
Why This Approach Works
Police officers use casual small talk at checkpoints to look for signs of impairment, slurred speech, or conflicting stories. By politely refusing to answer, you give them zero verbal ammunition to build reasonable suspicion.
Notice how the rider asks, "Are you ordering me?" before moving to the staging area or handing over his ID. You are legally required to comply with lawful commands (like showing a driver's license while operating a vehicle), but you are never required to consent to voluntary questioning.
Because the rider remained completely silent regarding his activities, and showed no physical signs of impairment, the law enforcement officers had absolutely no probable cause to detain him. Once his identity was verified, they had no choice but to let him go.
Knowing your Constitutional rights is one thing, but having the calm confidence to execute them under pressure is where the real power lies. Speak less, know the law, and protect your rights.
This was done to perfection.

Big brother is always watching. Could be on dash cam, body cam, or even doorbell cam. In the age of today you need to realize that when you are in public assume you are being recorded. In most cases you always are. Speaking of being recorded, let's get some police being recorded on this next one.

@DrisNERD @aaronpaquette That’s funny. There are more expensive Lexus’ in TO than expensive trucks in Alberta. Try again.
English

@AlbertaLeonidas @aaronpaquette What there are slightly less than 5 million people in Alberta and you blame 3rd worlders. There are 16 million in Ontario with more 3rd worlders than your entire province’s population and your rates way higher than ours. Give your head a shake.

@aaronpaquette thanks to invasion
this si literally entirely due to 3rd worlders on our roads, and a gov that will not allow them to be properly prorated

@mrmet6286 @MalloryMcMorrow It’s cronyism. Michigan gets half the tolls after the cost is covered. If you want half the tolls now, write a check for half the cost of the bridge.
English

@mallorymcmorrow The Gordie Howe Bridge is fully Canadian-funded (~$5B+), with Canada collecting all tolls initially to recoup costs. Trump is blocking opening until the US gets a fair ownership/toll revenue share on a jointly “owned” asset that benefits Michigan.
You omitted that part. It’s leverage in trade talks, not just “cronyism for the Morouns.” Context matters.
English

One billionaire family controls the bridge that carries 25% of all U.S.–Canada trade.
The good news? There's a brand new public bridge right next door (and Canada paid for the whole thing).
The bad news? Donald Trump won't let it open.
Here's the story:
For more than a decade, Michigan and Canada worked together to build a new public crossing right next to it — six lanes over the Detroit River, named for a Canadian-born Red Wings legend, built by thousands of union workers. Canada paid the entire bill. Michigan co-owns it. It's finished. It’s a shining example of international cooperation and collaboration, with a tremendous return for both sides: more jobs, faster trade, and lower costs.
So why isn't it open?
Because the Moroun family, who own the rival Ambassador Bridge just up the river, doesn’t want the competition. They spent years and tens of millions of dollars trying to stop any competing international crossing from being built or opening. They lost. So they went to the White House instead.
In January, Matthew Moroun gave $1 million to a pro-Trump super PAC. Then the billionaire called Trump's Commerce Secretary and, just hours later, Trump suddenly attacked the same publicly owned bridge he praised in his own first term and threatened to block it.
Then, the day before the June 12th ribbon-cutting, the opening was called off indefinitely.
It's corruption so flagrant it would be laughable if it weren't so damaging.
Trump is screwing over Michiganders for the interests of billionaires — holding a finished, publicly owned project hostage to protect one donor's toll booth.
So a finished bridge sits closed, Michiganders keep paying the higher tolls, cars and trucks cost more, and a billionaire family keeps its monopoly.
Mr. President: stop playing games. Open the damn bridge.

@Apples4Grannies @MalloryMcMorrow No one on the American side to process travellers after they cross.

@MalloryMcMorrow Why don't Canada and Michigan just ignore Trump and open the bridge?
What is stopping them?

@Greg81961734 @trainofangels00 As soon as you said something about dairy cartel, you prove you are not a serious person that has given any thoughts on the actual matter. Merely spewing talking points.
English

@trainofangels00 So if you oppose the Dairy Cartel you are un-Canadian?
Probably a misogynistic, racist, science denying space taker upper too.
The Dairy Cartel should have been dismantled decades ago -regardless of the American’s position on it.
But our Pandering PM will continue pandering.

The Cost of Blind Loyalty:
Why do some Canadians still defend a trade relationship that has clearly turned toxic?
The U.S. is no longer the nation we once knew.
The current has launched outright economic warfare against Canada.
They have weaponized trade agreements just to squeeze every possible concession out of our economy.
A prime example is the constant attack on Canadian tariffs, specifically in our dairy sector. MAGA influencers and American politicians point to a high percentage number and cry foul. Yet, they COMPLETELY MISUNDERSTAND how supply management actually works.
Our system balances local production with local demand. It has NEVER harmed the broader American economy, which regularly runs huge trade surpluses with us.
Despite this aggression, some (so called) Canadians still blame Ottawa instead of defending our OWN borders.
Imagine that!
They literally push back against a necessary economic pivot toward new global partners.
It feels deeply unpatriotic to side with a foreign power that openly threatens our sovereignty with rhetoric about absorbing our nation.
Even if a future U.S. administration promises a kinder relationship, the trust is broken.
True patriotism means standing unified during a trade crisis.
Canada MUST endure the pain of finding new markets rather than bowing to a nation that has turned its back on us and the world.
You either stand with Canada, or you're weak and unpatriotic.
Canadas sovereignty is the priority.
Your feelings come second.
Canada Always. Canada Forever.

@marleydickinson Welcome Germans. Thanks for coming. Enjoy Roromto, the game and hope you come back. 🇩🇪

@HistoryWJacob So I can 100% agree with the flopping on the ground like you’ve been shot.
Chance scoring, no lots of ugly goals get scored in ice hockey.
Low scoring, I guess we could make a soccer goal worth 6 points if that helps “The American Mind”.
🍺
English

Okay, since you asked, here’s my American opinion.
Soccer will never be as popular in America as football for 3 reasons:
1. The Fake Injuries
Players are incentivized to flop because the other team is more likely to get a penalty.
In football, it is the opposite. If a player has a real injury, play toughs it out and plays through it, it is seen as heroic.
Americans like toughness and grit.
2. Chance Goals
Many goals are scored by chance as opposed to skill. The chaos at the net when the ball is near is remarkable. Defenders blocking the goalie’s line of sight. The ball bouncing and ricocheting off of random body parts often determines if the ball goes in the net or out of bounds.
In football, there are some elements of chance, but because players are allowed to use their hands, the points are primarily scored based on skill. Less is left to chance.
Americans like control.
3. Low Scoring
In football, it is still challenging to score, but it happens much more often. Also, every play has a chance for gratification and excitement: a first down, a big catch, a big hit, a sack, an interception, etc
American like constant excitement.

He got his first drum kit at age five and spent his childhood playing along to the radio.
He rose to fame as the drummer of a major rock band before becoming its lead singer and launching a chart-topping solo career.
He won multiple Grammys, an Oscar, and became the only performer to appear on both the London and Philadelphia stages of Live Aid on the same day.
Do you know who he is?
