@JonFromAlberta I have never met a Canadian that has any concept of what our constitution actually says, it’s not taught in school, it’s not even in this country. Most Canadians just babble things they have heard said and most of those are American bill of rights misquotes. It’s ridiculous.
English

Most Canadians think we live in a full democracy. But look at the very first line of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms:
“Whereas Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law.”
That should make people stop and think.
If power is understood to flow from God to the Crown, and then the state and the courts exercise authority in the name of the King, are our rights really treated as rights, or as privileges administered from above?
A lot of Canadians will say, “the King is just symbolic.” But if that were true, why is the system still framed this way at its foundation? Why not say clearly where rights come from and who actually holds power? Why keep a king at all?
This is one of the deeper issues behind Alberta independence. It is not just about taxes or Ottawa. It is about sovereignty, where authority comes from, and whether Albertans should keep living under a system most people dont even fully understand.
Thanks for the conversation @JonSedore

@srkntnyldz It makes more sense that craters are actually sinkholes.

@tylerblack32 Considering there hasn’t been a recorded deaths by year published by the government since 2021, I’m just going to ignore this total bullshit.
English

Since MAID has been enacted in 2014, approximately 90,000 Canadians have chosen dying by this method rather than painful, drawn out, or medically complicated deaths.
This represents 0.2% of the Canadian population and accounts for approximately 2% of all deaths since 2014.

RFK Jr. says HHS will fight to stop assisted suicide laws from spreading in the U.S. “I think those laws are abhorrent.” “In Canada today… I think the number one cause of death is assisted suicide.” “It targets people with disabilities and people who are struggling in their lives.” “I don’t think we can be a moral society… if that becomes institutionalized.”

Lots of internet blowhards and their BASIC PHYSICS have decided that the Canadian government just plain forgot how far their country is from the equator.
I am not Canadian and have no real dog in Canadian political fights. But I do object to egregious untruths about a subject I am somewhat knowledgeable in.
So luckily for these fellows I am able to teach them some slightly more advanced physics and hopefully stop them saying such silly things:

@Deglobalizer @Timcast The model given doesn’t imply that there is one sun or many suns. You are correct from everything I know anyway but you could just say the sun doesn’t go past the Tropic of Capricorn instead of phoning people all over the place.
English

@JasperJason1970 @Timcast You can track the sun 24-7 and where it is at NOON in every time zone. If you can always see it, it doesn’t have time to go cover the “missing parts”.
English

@Deglobalizer @Timcast That wouldn’t disprove this model in anyway. You would just be proving what’s already given again. If the planet was actually 50 to 100 times larger than what you think it is you would run into a few problems trying to begin calculations.
English

@Timcast This is so dumb bc of how easily disprovable it is.
FaceTime 24 people spaced apart in one hour time zones and have them point their phone at the sky. You can track the sun/sky/moon in real time.
Obviously they have to have at a similar latitude.
Or fly to New Zealand

BREAKING: the land where the “spaceport” is, in Nova Scotia, the company leases the land from the province for $13,500 per year.
They’re then turning around and leasing it to the federal government for $20 million a year.
For 10 years.
In addition, shortly after when the $200 million contract was announced, the chairman of the board sold 3 million shares in the company.
And in the past three months insiders have only sold shares.
The stock is up over 2295%, in 1 year.l and one of the Board of Directors, is the former Liberal Premier of Nova Scotia.
For context, a similar spaceport was built in Norway, where the government maintained 90% ownership, and the project was done for tens of millions of dollars cheaper.
Our government, on the other hand, is renting their own land for significantly more.
With zero ownership.

@ianmiles That’s literally marketing. No markings in a world full of markings is literally a mark. It’s like not having a tattoo nowadays, you’re literally now the rebel and everyone with a tattoo are the followers/conformists. Things just come full circle I suppose.

Marc Andreessen just revealed the Elon Musk philosophy that completely broke his brain: "The best product in the world shouldn't even need a logo."
We all know Elon is relentless about quality. As Marc puts it: "Do you want the best car in the world or not, right? Like that's Elon's mentality... And it's working very well."
But at a recent event, Elon took this mindset to a completely different level. He dropped a perspective so jarring that Marc initially thought it was a joke.
Elon’s thesis? "You shouldn't even have to have your name on the product. It's just obvious. Everybody knows."
The logic is brutal but simple. If you build the undeniable, undisputed best thing in the world, everybody uses it. And because everybody uses it, you don't need to slap your branding all over it to prove it's yours.
Think about that. We spend endless hours agonizing over marketing, tweaking brand colors, and putting our logos on every square inch of what we build. But the ultimate flex isn't a flashy logo. The ultimate flex is building something so undeniably brilliant that its mere existence is the brand.

@Alca_Bertmus @Garnet_2203 We’re Hebrew, that’s a goy and Goya set of problems. Nice attempt at the use of “consanguinity”. Work on sentence structure.

@JasperJason1970 @Garnet_2203 Effectivement dans les familles alcooliques et dégénérées par la consanguinité, ça marche moins bien.

20,000 years ago, HALF of all humans born were dead at the age of 30.
Fast forward to 1840… and guess what?
Half the population born was dead by the age of 35.
Twenty thousand years… and we gained five years.
That’s it.
So no this isn’t about people being “stronger,” “tougher,” or somehow more “natural” back then.
This is about SCIENCE.
Clean water.
Vaccines.
Medicine.
Sanitation.
Public health.
That’s what changed everything.
Stop romanticizing the past.
If you want to thank anything for longer, healthier lives thank science.

@28daysearlier @Garnet_2203 Lots of it before 1910 actually. Practically all 1st,2nd and third cousins getting married. Really only 4 family names in our records from 1790 to 1905. Nobody else around and we owned all the land. Slim pickings as they say.

@MAVERIC68078049 I haven’t bothered. Seems kind of a bit much really.

@KNIGHTOFELEMIA1 @ryangerritsen You wouldn’t have to actually. The Indians in Canada sell cigs online and ship anywhere. The uk government can’t touch them because of treaties and can’t declare their products illegal. You could actually get pot as well if you want.
English

@ryangerritsen Looks like smuggling cigarettes will become the new business in the UK. Typical left Liberal logic cut off a source of tax revenue forcing your beliefs down someone's throat.
English

@DogTurdCanada @ryangerritsen If you did it in Canada an indigenous would blow your head off.
English

@ryangerritsen This may sound harsh, but if I were elected PM, the first thing I’d do would be to ban tobacco altogether.
Ya, I’d be despised for the first year, but by the fourth they’d be forever indebted to me.
English

@canmericanized @ryangerritsen Low drug use in the UK? This is a joke I’m guessing.
English

@ryangerritsen So dumb. It’s personal choice. One thing I will say however about the UK…they don’t have a massive drugs problem. Even pot is illegal there. IMO everyone is entitled to a vice 🤷♂️

@FarmGirlCarrie I’d keep walking. I try to keep the number of people telling me what to do to a minimum.

@MarcNixon24 The civil servants will sabotage this to save their jobs. It won’t even break ground.
