The rest of the world beginning to understand what being Canadian feels like.

A reminder on the evolution of 2020 "stolen election" theories: First we had mail-in fraud + Dominion + "illegal law changes" (Nov–Dec 2020) then → Georgia election workers + foreign interference/Italygate (Dec 2020–Jan 2021, concurrent) then → 2,000 Mules (ballot stuffers) (2022) then → social-media-censorship revival via Twitter Files (Dec 2022) then → renewed foreign-interference claims (2024–present). Through all this, we've had: 1. Dominion getting $787 million from Fox News for defamation 2. Rudy Giuliani admitting he lied about Georgia election workers (and the jury awarding the workers $148 million) 3. Sidney Powell admitting in court "no reasonable person would conclude" her claims of election fraud “were truly statements of fact" 4. The Gateway Pundit retracting claims of election fraud in Atlanta 5. The Media company that put out D'Souza's 2,000 Mules film apologizing and removing it after law enforcement proved it falsely accused people of fraud 6. Newsmax and One America News Network (OANN) settling with Smartmatic It is NOT true that none of these allegations have seen a court room. Most have. Of the 64 cases of fraud that Trump and his legal team filed in court, 30 were dismissed that included a hearing on the merits, 14 were voluntarily dismissed by Trump and his allies before a hearing, and just 20 were dismissed for lack of standing before a hearing on the merits. One case, involving far too few votes to impact the election, prevailed in Pennsylvania. That case was about voter ID deadlines, not election fraud. Those are the facts. Whatever happens Thursday night, please try to remember them.

“They should have just complied!” They did and they got killed anyway. “They should have just obeyed the law.” They were and they got killed anyway. “They should have come here legally!” They did and they got killed anyway.

@MAKELUCAS @robblackie lol, sure buddy.

@robblackie Only happened because the Spaniards have been so obnoxiously obstructive for decade upon decade. PS. Waiting for Ceuta and Melilla to rejoin Africa....

Gibraltar has just effectively rejoined the EU. And it's completely uncontroversial, because it obviously makes sense to make life easier for people there. A preview of what happens with the rest of our country? share.google/lfuTnfEoIqMr6l…

On this map, Mark Carney would be the front-runner for the 2028 Democratic nomination and very likely next president of the United States.

They certainly hope voters do.

@196974RN @DimitrisSoudas You don’t go to war over every pawn.

@DimitrisSoudas I’m puzzled how you consistently don’t want to hold Carney to account. Whatever the bridge deal is (extortion), it’s not Elbows Up. It’s doesn’t align with Carney’s rhetoric about no-deal-is-better-than-a-bad-deal. And we’re light years away from what he promised in the campaign.

Sometimes we overthink things. The Gordie Howe bridge will open. The monopoly is over. Thank you PM Harper.

Nuclear climate casualty. This problem will ramp. France's main energy provider on Sunday said that three nuclear reactors have been temporarily shut down, while eight others are operating at reduced power. The measure is an environmental protection requirement to avoid discharging too much hot water into rivers already warming from the heatwave. france24.com/en/france/2026…

@ericvideos91 Man, you guys are dumb.

The point of the Conservative Party of Canada is not to win over Liberals

The Orwellian conflation of people who sneak into a country in hopes of selling their labor to a willing buyer and soldiers who storm a country to violently conquer it is causing parts of MAGA to justify the killing of illegal immigrants.

@tgflake @Perrid13 @johnastoehr Up and down like a cheap whore and you still can’t use it to buy anything useful.

@rustyoldwheel @Perrid13 @johnastoehr And over the last fifteen years?

Krugman: "there is no legitimate use case for crypto. They’ve had 18 years to come up with one. ... Every one of them has turned out to be baseless. The only real use for crypto is tax evasion, money laundering, and crime." open.substack.com/pub/paulkrugma…

@tgflake @Perrid13 @johnastoehr BTC is down over 30% in the past 6 months.

@Perrid13 @johnastoehr It is a better store of value than the dollar. Over the last...pick any timespan great ler than a year...how much has inflation eroded the purchasing power of your dollars and how much has BTC appreciated?

@tgflake @johnastoehr One born every minute.

@johnastoehr Or: international remittance store of wealth, hedge against national currency debasement....I could go on (Smart contracts, voter integrity) when someone says "no use case" all you need is one to debunk the argument.

Canada - here's evidence banning US alcohol works. Next: -sell what US liquor we have at a loss. Give proceeds to food banks. Deal with storage costs. -ramp up our ban of US alcohol -they started this fight with a lie that "Canadian fentanyl" caused their overdose emergency

You’re listening to Sisyphus FM, the home of non-stop rock.

@OldGassy1984 @mehdirhasan He was so obviously stuffed in a few lockers in school.

"So, Nigel, we want you just to walk along this road in the style of any completely normal human being." "Completely normal?" "Yes, that's right -- completely normal."

What do we call it when billionaires sell ultra-nationalism and remigration again?

So Reform UK is funded by Russia, Restore bought and paid for by an American trillionaire, GB News owned by a hedge fund in Dubai and the Daily Mail registered in Bermuda. That's patriotism for you these days.

Apart from Brexit, one of the most catastrophic, self harming decisions ever taken in the UK was by Dr Beeching when he closed 30% of the railway networks lines and 50% of the stations in the 1960's. How we could use that capacity now, getting cars and trucks off of the road.

I am once again asking people to explain what they mean by "ontologically"
