@martianwyrdlord And a large portion of the electorate will tell you the country's doing great because things that don't affect their life in any way are happening (they aren't)

"But the purpose of a system is what it does. And what Canada’s system does is produce announcements and press releases, not ships."
Not quite. That's just the PR, which is only one component. What Canada's system does is to funnel project money into various government agencies and NGOs, which produce impact assessments, environmental studies, feasibility studies, indigenous consultation studies, and so on. It's UBI for public sector employees, with the press releases serving to camouflage the grift with the appearance of actual things getting built at some unspecified future date.

MORE CARNEY LIES The country with the world’s longest Arctic coastline cannot independently operate in its own northern waters during winter. Canada’s flagship icebreaker, the CCGS Louis S. St-Laurent, was launched in 1966. She’s 60 years old. She is NOT polar class rated. SIXTY She was supposed to be decommissioned in 2000. Then 2017. She’s still in service because nothing exists to replace her. Many “icebreakers” Carney eludes to ice strengthened patrol boats. Ice strengthened just means they won’t sink if they run into ice. It doesn’t mean they can “break” a thick layer of ice. CCGS Louis S. St-Laurent‘s replacement was announced in 2008. EIGHTEEN YEARS AGO Originally due in 2017. It is now “scheduled” for 2026. No ship has been delivered. The program is old enough to vote. ∙Canada operates nine medium icebreakers, most built in the 1970s and 80s. NONE are polar-class. They handle first-year ice in the St. Lawrence and make summer trips north when conditions allow. ∙Russia operates 40+ icebreaking vessels including eight nuclear-powered heavy icebreakers, with ten more planned by 2035. Canada has zero nuclear icebreakers. ∙Total cost for Canada’s two replacement polar icebreakers: C$4.4 billion. Estimated delivery: 2030 and 2032. If you believe those dates, I have a Northwest Passage to sell you. ∙One of the two replacements is being built in Finland, at a shipyard that was Russian-owned until Davie acquired it in 2023. Canada’s answer to Russian Arctic dominance is literally being constructed in a former Russian yard. ∙Mark Carney just announced C$35 billion in Arctic funding. But the purpose of a system is what it does. And what Canada’s system does is produce announcements and press releases, not ships. True polar class ships in service capable of breaking thick Arctic ice? 🇺🇸 One heavy (Polar Star, commissioned 1976) Two medium (Healy, commissioned 1999/2000, and Storis, a converted commercial vessel commissioned August 2025). 🇨🇦 Canada has zero polar-class icebreakers. So no, @MarkJCarney, you may (or may not) have the second most ice strengthened vessels… but true icebreakers capable of real polar security service? USA’s pathetic fleet is #2 in the world.

This entire exchange is fucking hilarious in hindsight.

We’re now 3 weeks into #TXSen runoff and… - 5 public polls show Paxton crushing Cornyn in the runoff & ZERO polls released to counter this by Cornyn/SLF/NRSC - Cornyn + allies have only reserved an anemic $334K on tv & $125K on digital after spending $100 mill in the primary

The floating CPAC bar really ties this whole thing together nicely. Most people forget to crop it out when they take pictures in the chamber.
Kim-Bo@kim_gaetz
This photo is against the HOC rules as to no pictures taken in the chamber, no staged photos it goes to decorum. I want Jamil investigated for this and who ever took the photo also should have known better. Conservatives respect nothing, I will be filing a complaint.

This is quite the damage control statement from Michael Ma’s office. Even the CBC broadcaster couldn’t read it with a straight face.

@CDNprojections the tories certaintly cut ties with this guy at just the right time lmao

Michael Ma saying "I believe there are forced laborers all over the world" reminds me of this clip
cbcwatcher@cbcwatcher
Stefanovich "Yes, but can you please explain your comments at the industry committee?" Ma "I have no comment at this time." Stefanovich "The conservatives are making it seem like you don't care about forced labor in China or you believe in it. What do you think of that? Ma "Well, they like to exaggerate. Always." Stefanovich "Do you believe there is forced labor in China?" Ma "I believe there are forced laborers all over the world." Stefanovich "What about China specifically?" Ma "Well, all over the world" Stefanovich "But China specifically." Ma "I need to run" This shouldn't be the end of this! And is pushing this China apologist narrative part of the China-Canada MoU? Time to release the MoU now! @MarkJCarney

@ICcrapdaily @Harry__Faulkner lots of these guys are opportunists who signed on when the party was up 25 points and quickly lost interest when the liberals rebounded

WATCH: Margaret McCuaig-Johnston alleges that Michael Ma told her after the committee meeting that he "doesn't believe in reports" about Chinese forced labour in Xinjiang.
"He said to me, 'I don't believe in reports. I don't believe in anything I can't see for myself.'"
He then told McCuaig-Johnston that they should travel to China together to see if they can find Uyghur forced labour.

@VivaldiVril The left embarks on a decades long march through the institutions. The right gives up and dies when they don't have everything they want in 12 months.

Fantasies of violence will get us nowhere.
We have a President who is more conservative than anything we've had for 100 years, who is changing America in ways we couldn't have dreamed of 10 years ago, but the Retard Right can't stop panicking and daydreaming about vigilantism because they're used to losing so much.
Our political solution is clear- VOTE, DONATE, VOLUNTEER, WIN THE MIDTERMS, and for the love of God STOP HELPING THE ENEMY.

When you realize there's no political solution, and there's only one way out of this mess.

@realJeremyCarl @adamkjohnston They talk about voting like it's some permanent mark against their soul every election cycle. Just vote for the candidate who doesn't want your community steamrolled
English
This is correct. I don't care how frustrating and disappointing the GOP can be.
They haven't let you down more than they've let down me!
But the alternative is chaos, unlimited Anti-White racism, and the annihilation of America.
We fight our battles in the primaries.

@DAKKADAKKA1 Genuinely how did the the whole "New Vegas is a trans game" thing start? Why New Vegas specifically and not the others?

The New Vegas turns you trans meme is psychological warfare by fake fans why are injecting their gay bullshit into the fandom. Always has been.

@RobProvince Can't think of a show that was hit harder by The Revolution than Doctor Who. It's so unbelievably bad now that it can't be fixed.

You made a bad show and no one watched it. If people had watched it you would still be making them.
Yelling at the people who saw the emperor had no clothes isn’t going to make your crappy show not crappy.
Make a better show.

“Doctor Who” boss Russell T Davies warns audiences that X is a "hate site" for fandoms. "That online voice, which is hostile, exists on X, which is a hate site. We shouldn’t be surprised to find hatred on it, because it’s a hate site … It’s very dangerously assumed that that is the fan voice... Fandom is creative and brilliant and fun, but it’s all getting soured,” he said, adding: “Turn those phones off for anyone under 16, chuck them in the bin. I literally am evangelical about it.” variety.com/2026/tv/global…

You put me in charge of Bethesda for a year and I'd have Elder Scrolls news and Fallout news out within a week.
This is insane.
I dont care anymore, this is an awful way to think about the fans who play your games.
Make new games not modded MTXs for your current ones.
