@JJ_McCullough Many of the constituents in Sarnia are employed by the petrochemical industry, not exactly the Liberal voting block.

This floor crossing BS is out of control. If MPs in this country can just change parties whenever they want, then voters truly have no control over who becomes prime minister and runs our government. The whole Canadian system is based on the premise that parties MATTER.

At this important moment for our country’s future, Canadians with a broad range of experience and perspectives are uniting to build Canada strong. I am honoured to welcome Marilyn Gladu today as the newest member of this government and our Liberal caucus. In a time of global economic uncertainty, Canada’s success will depend on how we build ambition into progress and strengths into sustained advantage. Marilyn brings the practical, results-driven leadership this effort demands. Having spent decades of her career in engineering and international business, she understands what it takes to create good jobs, strengthen supply chains, and ensure Canadian industry can compete in a rapidly changing global economy. She has been elected by the people of Sarnia—Lambton–Bkejwanong in four straight elections since 2015, and repeatedly earned recognition from colleagues across Parliament for her proven willingness to work constructively across party lines. I’m looking forward to working closely with Marilyn to build a stronger and more independent Canadian economy, meeting the challenges of a changing world with lasting opportunities for all.

@esjesjesj Why do you engage with people who see a guy in a pink turban and think “Taliban”. Seems hopeless

I wonder if these dipshits are going to apologize when Zohran does not create a global caliphate

Zohran Mamdani’s inauguration in New York City has music that’s not even in English and Muslim men on stage that look like they’re in Afghanistan Buckle up America. This is the Islamic takeover of America

@HoCStaffer Dauphinate of Viennois? I knew playing Crusader Kings would have its uses

Today's #flagoftheday is expert-level. It's historical, not current. No cheating.
Mostly I look forward to the wrong answers.

@hecubian_devil The ambition of nearly all Turko-Persian rulers at the time was to conquer Rome, I don’t think this was ever a long term option.

After Manzikert the smart move was obviously to get a Seljuk bride for John—imagine a world where they’d married into the Zengids. No Crusades (and thus no European colonial empires), the empire remains vital and intact, the Roman Ummah brings the light of Mediterranean civilization back to Latin Europe…how did it all go so wrong

You ever think about the Komnenoi and get really mad that none of them (but Alexios in particular) did the smart thing and convert to Islam

@hecubian_devil 100% he thinks hate speech is like defamation. Inb4 he starts calling it “hater speech” lol

@JJ_McCullough People also don’t like when sitting U.S senators can’t name a few basics facts from a main adversary. Better a smug dweeb than an incompetent buffon.

I hate to admit it but I actually think Ted Cruz comes off as the more sympathetic character in that Tucker encounter. Tucker comes off as a smug dweeb. People don’t like gotcha questions.

Anyway the gut feeling that courtesy is politically conservative is an example of how Vibes Leftism is based less in material solidarity and more in being 15 years old.

He definitely wants an Anschluss, where they all vote to decide they were Americans all along. The question is what he'll do when that doesn't happen.
Ralph Leonard@buffsoldier_96
Folks still think this is just rhetoric or him being a clever Machiavellian. No. He means it. He wants Canada to be part of the US. I'm not sure he actually he wants to invade it, but ignite a political process that ends with an annexation treaty after turning the economic screws

The Haitians of Springfield sound almost comically American. They work proper factory jobs and go to church every Sunday. And we get to hear the crackhead locals talk about how their friend's cousin saw a chain email saying they're doing cat voodoo.

Elon Musk went from being the Henry Ford of our generation (admired carmaker, brilliant salesman) to being the Henry Ford of our generation (conspiracy theorist, Nazi-enabler)
