@larroumecj @itsmailmanthree Actually only ~10k settlers ever went to Quebec.

@itsmailmanthree 10 millions de québécois à partir de seulement 100k colons.

L’essentiel du malheur français des deux derniers siècles tient dans cette carte. Au lieu de voir sa population multipliée par entre 6 et 10 comme les autres pays européens, la France n’a fait que 2,5x. Pour comprendre ce que c’était d’être Français au 18e siècle, il faut s’imaginer une France contemporaine de 250 millions d’habitants. Cela ne nous donnerait que la densité du Royaume-Uni, avec 3 fois plus de terres arables. Rien d’exagéré ou d’impossible. Notre relation au monde serait légèrement différente. Bien sûr que nous avons la gueule de bois. La Grande Bretagne grâce à ses colonies a même fait 40x. Pour nous cela aurait voulu dire 900 millions de descendants de Français. Ce qui n’est pas délirant. Notre modeste population québécoise a été multipliée par 100. Le but de ce rappel n’est pas d’entretenir la nostalgie mais de remettre sur le devant de la scène un enjeu clé : la fécondité s’effondre massivement, cela va rebattre au 21e siècle les cartes de la puissance et de la prospérité tout autant qu’elles le furent au 19e siècle. Nous avons été les plus grands perdants à l’échelle mondiale de cette précédente transition démographique. Essayons de ne pas l’être ce coup-ci.

@_alice_evans The US has way more high-earning professional jobs in general than China, SK, Russia, Iran, or India.

If "the rise of educated women is the true driver of the change", then the same patterns would have occured in China, South Korea, Russia, Iran and India. They have not.

@InterspeciesFa1 @TruueDiscipline Notice I said "far right." The OP is correct that the default attitude among misogynist men isn't "hating" women per se it's thinking they're only suited to domestic work.

@ItsAMeDaario @TruueDiscipline Most men, even right wing men, are not internet edgelords.

If there is one group you can trust to always obfuscate around stats they don't like it is feminists...

@RedurWawel @opendoorforever @st_louis_stan What do you think about SAHMs taking half the man’s assets in the case of divorce.

@opendoorforever @st_louis_stan I have never in my entire life heard a single man shit talk women for wanting to stay home. The closest I'd get to is possibly how leftists talk sneeringly about it, because they dont think women should choose, but even they are mostly women.

Where did lib women get this idea that taking care of kids and a home is "servitude" or "free labor." You know that's your house, right? Those are *your* kids. When you take care of a home, your reward is a nice home that YOU get to live in! It's not random labor for someone else's house! And when you take care of your kids, YOU get the benefit of spending time with YOUR kids and raising them how YOU want to. The injection of college-kid marxoid theory has done incredible damage to how women perceive marriage

@Hezbolsonaro No, Carney mattered too. If Freeland was leader instead of him PP would've won.

The savior of the Liberal Party was obviously Trump and no one else. The Liberals were going to get creamed by Pierre and were in danger of being surpassed by the NDP until Trump starts talking about annexation in December 2024. It’s not because of Carney and definitely not Singh

@InezFeltscher What if your husband cheats on you or dies? You're screwed. Of course women don't choose that if there other options available.

@InezFeltscher Even in countries with none of those things (thinking particularly of East Asia here) women still choose to work over staying at home and the birth rate is often even lower than the US. Because being a helpmate is objectively the inferior and more vulnerable role.

Women are not choosing between a more traditional life and careerism on an even playing field. Our policy and law shoves practically shoves them into the workforce. Cut the girlboss subsidies and legal punishments for the traditional family, and then we’ll truly see “free choice.”

To be fair, Joe Biden inherited an economy ravaged by Covid which Donald Trump wildly mismanaged. The country was recovering well (relative to other countries) when Trump took over and made a series of bad decisions that are destroying the economy we had just rebuilt.

@Prominent_Bryan A recent study showed the collapse in youth happiness was concentrated in the Anglosphere, which merits an explanation. For e.g., within Canada Quebec had by far the happiest youth.

Phone and ideology/pedagogy When we keep telling kids to be sensitive and close to their feelings and what not, that's what you get

@Milkevol @belladonnafeli I don't think so, their deaths were very deliberately placed in the epilogue. It's prob some random minor character no-one would think of like Dacey Mormont.

@belladonnafeli Confident that it's either Pycelle or Kevan Lannister

I actually don’t think maester Aemon is the person George regrets killing

@TristinHopper Yup, inciting a mob to storm the government to prevent the peaceful transition of power has nothing on Carney recruiting some floor crossers. I am very smart.

I could make a strong case that Trump hasn't broken nearly as many U.S. electoral norms as Carney has broken Canadian electoral norms. And Trump gives press conferences.

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 Darth Maul today as the newest member of this government and our Liberal caucus.

@weirwoodwed @dancewithmeanon Because you guys keep insisting every mention of a "dragon" within three miles of a Sansa chapter is somehow "foreshadowing" or "symbolism" of her marrying Jon? As far as I can see this "foreshadowing" just consists of bolding words that have nothing to do with each other.

@ItsAMeDaario @dancewithmeanon I have no clue where you got the idea that I think they have the same symbolic weight because I have never said that on this page or elsewhere and frankly it’s an invention of your mind 😭

no stag can find sansa, but a dragon might. i wonder what this might mean for a girl whose betrothed is called ‘the dragon’s heir’…

@addammy1 Pierre will cross the floor next.

WTF 😭

@kinsellawarren Maybe they shouldn't act like a mad dog and start wars with all their neighbours next time?

Not good

@clashreport It was nice knowing you, ceasefire.

BREAKING: Iran told mediators it will only join planned talks with the U.S. in Islamabad if a cease-fire is reached in Lebanon. Source: WSJ

@weirwoodwed @dancewithmeanon In what world does a random off-handed remark from a bandit carry the same symbolic weight as one of the central mysteries of the series (ToJ vision)? The golden "dragon" this guy is talking about does not refer to Jon at all outside of shipper wishcasting.

@dancewithmeanon @ItsAMeDaario i believe it’s actual roses as well as allusion to Jon, which is actually exactly the same type of allusion used as here 😭 symbolism is used all throughout ASOIAF – “stag” and “dragon” symbols alluding to Baratheon and Targaryen is not scandalous

@FirstSquawk Wtf again??? Truly mandate of heaven stuff.

CANADA'S PM CARNEY ANNOUNCES A CONSERVATIVE LAWMAKER HAS JOINED THE RULING LIBERAL PARTY.

@dancewithmeanon Is Jon symbolized by dead and black roses too? "Ned remembered the way she had smiled then, how tightly her fingers had clutched his as she gave up her hold on life, the rose petals spilling from her palm, dead and black." I'm just not delusional lmao .

@ItsAMeDaario lyanna was holding jon, who is symbolised by blue roses. it’s not really surprising that you didn’t catch that though, since you only seem to count foreshadowing as “valid” if it’s spoon fed.
