I think they realize that Pierre Poilievre would embrace a Trump Government and have similar policies. He could not be further Right Wing, he'll be as extreme as his populist policies will let him abuse power.

“Trump's former trade representative Robert Lighthizer has said Canada-U.S. relations were at their lowest point since the War of 1812 during the NAFTA negotiations of 2017-18.”

So, Canada has decided to stop sending arms to Israel after an NDP motion. The Liberals made major amendments to it so as to firmly condemn Hamas as well. It's kind of a mixed bag. Honestly, it's naive of me but I didn't expect there would still be so much outrage, even if the motion did call for an acknowledgement of Palestine as a state. All the Conservatives voted against it - to be fair, some of them wanted to wait for the motion to be passed because the amendments were super last minute and the Bloc Quebecois were annoyed that because of this there wasn't a French translation.

I guess it's a step in the right direction. I think it's still weak but you can read more on it here.

Here's a fun(?) thing to do on a Wednesday evening - compare the US Embassy versus the Canadian High Commission to London.

The Canadian is this beautiful grand Neo-Grecian building directly on Trafalgar Square and is shining and beautiful and look at all those maple leaves...

Then the US meanwhile has been punted to south of the river (gasp! the only one south of the river ohoho aren't you special) and it... Well.

All hail the cube.

It's always really funny to me when Europeans on this site accuse Americans of being fucked up and projecting our cultural norms onto the places we tourism through. When British tourists are so-near universally fucking beloathed. Like look, A) the US has a terrible role model B) have you ever met someone from western Europe traveling outside of Europe. Those of you that come to the US, at least, are fucking cocks.

my 2 cents that no one asked for but sometimes i see ethnicity hcs for the td characters and i notice that a lot of ppl hc courtney as mixed latina and asian of some variety (usually south asian, somehow specifically bengali which piqued my interest...as a bengali) but i remember that it was around tdas or something that fresh posted these like. bios or some shit and they like Forgot that courtney was previously stated to be latina n listed her as asian. or maybe it was a tweet from tom mcgillis or smth i don't remember exactly but! i get now these days ppl are like oh just make her Mixed. All Canon! and if i were to have gotten into total drama post-tdas i probably would say the same HOWEVER. AS A SOUTH ASIAN i dont like south asian courtney she's fully latina to me and that's how i've always seen her i can't change it

[to-eat-a-grape]

The only people I've been physically intimate with lately are Americans, and it's kinda funny to me because I live in Canada and most of the people around me are definitely not from the US and I definitely don't seek them out consciously??

Published Nov. 25, 2024 8:00 p.m. AST

U.S. president-elect Donald Trump said on Monday he would sign an executive order imposing a 25 per cent tariff on all products coming in to the United States from Mexico and Canada.

"On January 20th, as one of my many first Executive Orders, I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% Tariff on ALL products coming into the United States, and its ridiculous Open Borders," Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

Trump said the tariffs would remain in place until the two countries clamp down on drugs, particularly fentanyl, and migrants crossing the border illegally.

Sorry, Americans, about the housing costs. The lumber prices are about to skyrocket, among other things. I’m sure Canada will try to negotiate but our guys have already said before he was re-elected that he cannot be dealt with rationally.

the study itself is actually a bit fascinating from a psychological standpoint and helps affirm what people have said before about other medical conditions though like for all that this was a big bunch of fear mongering and excuse to get all in an uppity panic originally the fact that stress and outside pressures alone was enough to actually cause the symptoms mentioned is a pretty big deal!

like yeah how it was handled was horrendous and conspiratory to nations that didn't have the time of day for pulling these stunts, but the research gained and affirmed about how people will actually report similar sickness symptoms of people who are in the same group of them as a weird social 'bug' is so cool and could bring up some interesting thoughts about treatment of more psychological disorders

and a reminder that they don't say that these people weren't actually suffering from these symptoms, that's what makes this all so wild! they literally are having these symptoms for no other reason by social/psychological factors and stress! it bears repeating because wow! imagine what else people might be feeling because they're stressed out and someone suggests they might be suffering from X or Y symptoms/issue.

good hustle everyone i think if we spend another 8 years sanctioning cuba and spend another 10 billion dollars looking into this we'll get to the bottom of it
