Please, no, you misunderstand. We roll back rights for everyone! You see? Yes you see.

“internal paranoia about surveillance”

IIRC paranoia is the irrational belief that everything revolves around the individual experiencing it. They were being surveiled by covert government forces. That makes it rational and a completely correct assessment.

Not paranoia.

In the immortal words of Kurt Cobain

"Just because you’re paranoid,

Don’t mean their not after you"

It’s a system. Not of Justice, but of oppression and extortion and naked power.

A wealthy elite from Wall Street to Hollywood with lots in between has a large and powerful contingent that is also Jewish American. On the whole, it is a large attractor to support for Israel. Every political campaign has to court the jewish vote regardless of stance to stay competitive in votes and campaign finance.

Ask Chuck Schumer what his job is.

You are you! You can and must judge. For yourself, naturally.

Choices abound. Make one, move, stretch your legs a bit?

Very good. One small detail, the spiders are behind the eyes. Look at the original comic and imagine they aren’t eyelashes, but spider legs from a colony of harvestmen all tightly packed together.

Online dating is a bit of a misnomer. It’s not dating. It allows people to optimize selection based on superficiality, and stops anyone from from getting to know anyone. It’s also high stakes because arranged meets with matches are purpose driven.

Put it down. Turn it off. Go do something you love and meet people. All sorts of people. Have fun, casually. Somewhere in there, you’ll find someone special.

(Not directed to you OP, just online daters in general)

Yah, you’re not walking away from that so casually. Gimme the story in 300 words or less. ;)

Edit. Never mind. I saw the post right after. Thanks for sharing.

It’s almost tempting to engage in discussion, but you wear your flag so prominently, and engage is similar hollow partisan rhetoric, that I can see the warning signs. Like the white stripe of a skunk, it’s a warning to stay away because a putrid smell awaits. I guess I should thank you for the honesty, even if incidental.

Too bad. It would be nice to speak to a conservative about policy for policy’s sake, and not just engage in team boosterism and witless rhetoric. My only team is Canada, and even that is only in the service of the planet and all life on it. Political parties are just a neccessary (evil) means to get there. Seems I’m a bit of a rarity.

You’re not wrong. You’re just mischaracterizing the relative severities to suit your personal narrative. Downvote for bad faith mischaracterization. Don’t be butthurt because people don’t love glorious China more than they deserve.

Yes and no. Canada can’t and shouldn’t even try to lift China up. We should gate access to what can reasonably meet our already high standards.

The deal, including working groups is what China needs to leverage to lift itself up as a condition of accessing markets.

We also have to contend with not repeating the same mistake with China as we did with the US. A tightly integrated supply chain is in no ones best interest when institutions and culture diverge so clearly.

As for paternalism, if they learn to stop putting melamine, heavy metals and gutter oil in their supply chains, they won’t risk being talked down to.

Edit: Their baby food solution was to buy a Kingston Ontario dairy supplier, not fix their own shit.

Dom Perignon?

As much as I hate the Financial Post as an American Owned, Canadian Conservative 51st state sellout voice of treason, this is a legit concern.

We absolutely have to improve trade and relations with China. We absolutely have to reduce our dependence on America. Carney is right across the board.

The agreements have to be structured to lift China’s food supply chain capabilities, not allow Canada’s high quality supply chain lower to their standards or meet in the middle with Chinas.

The problem is more than regulatory, or enforcement. Its institutional and cultural within China. Melamine in baby food is unthinkable in Canada. Our gaffs tend to revolve around human error in cleaning proceedures with the odd listeria outbreak. China has a long way to go, and lacks the institutional and cultural capacity to operate at this level. Lifting China won’t be fast or easy, which is a shame because right now speed matters.

Still, fuck the fascist post and their treasonous hearts.

Double Penetration?

Donkey Punch?

Democratic Party?

Deep Purple?

Director of Photography?

Dense Patterns?

Dinner Parties?

Please give me your neighbours number so I can ask for clarification.

You can always rub one out. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) P.S. Should fix your door.

No one can time the market. The answer depends on your risk tolerance and security buffers. It is schrodinger’s market. It is always the best and worst time to hypothetically jump in or out of markets. It’s only after you do that the probability wave form collapses and becomes one or the other.

Predictions depend on a stable system. No where is stable so don’t bother.

Uncle Ruckus, no relation.

He gets low value insults because his entire schtick as opposition leader is hollow rhetoric that does not hold power to account like it’s supposed to - it is pure cheap shots that play well to a base of low-information voters while providing nothing of substantive value. Opposition for the sake of opposition, gets insults for the sake of insults.

He is slime.

Global economic slowdown? No problem? Let me kidney-punch you in the tourism. Now it’s a problem!
