Seriously. Some citizens of Alberta were allowed to blockade the fucking border because being told to mask the fuck up damaged their delicate, bruise-as-easily as a summer peach, snowflake, weak, impotent, treasonous egos.

A little creatively targeted, controlled arson is hardly on the same level of egregiousness.

I had to dig but this is them I think looks like Ontario based.

I mean they all just voted in the UN together with Iran the exact same way re: Ukraine. So yeah.

Wait till you hear what I have planned.

1. no more lobbying - fucken jail.

2. no pay for politicians - you get a living allowance, a vehicle w/driver, and you live in “Government city” while you’re in office. A nice life, but not so comfortable that you want to settle.

3. with all but a few exceptions, service terms are 4 years long.

4. after your service, you’re accorded a rating, determined by the effectiveness of the changes you’ve made (or honestly tried to) , if you did good by the people, we rate you highly. A rating determines your pay scale in the private sector after you leave government. Did good? Live good. Determination of rating is part of the next-election-cycle vote, ie: decided by the people.

5. no one top officer. Ie no pm or president. At least, not bestowed to a single individual. Maybe 3…

There was more. I came up with this on a road trip between Calgary and Vancouver once but I had a lot more youthful idealism back then, couched in the idea that being a public servant might be an appealing role for more volunteer-centric people instead of …craven… power-hungry jackals. Maybe we need benevolent superintelligence to take over and actually run things, then we can have something like my system and pretend we’re actually running the show.

Rather like we do now…

The boycotting, booing and hatred will continue until Trump’s departure. Even if they say sorry. Even after the next president. And the next.

Personally I am finished with their cultural exports. I want nothing from them. I can’t even listen to music sung by an American without feeling like it doesn’t belong here anymore. It’s not the story or song if anyone I have any kinship to, so why give it any of my time?

All we’ve learned is that we should absolutely go for the throat the second they are vulnerable because we’re just a prey item to them, and fuck being toyed with.

Hey Trump: “No.”

For the next 4 years, at least, ANY ALLIANCE WITH THE US IS A SECURITY RISK FOR US.

…from whence they originated.

Canadian. I’ve divested 100% of my meagre savings out of us stocks. USA is not a reliable trading partner, or a leader in anything anymore except deceit.

We lose the goodwill

Gone. It’s gone. I’m your neighbor. There’s no more goodwill. It’s been completely replaced with desire to see your hubris teach a collective lesson, and a process of internal reflection on how we can not end up like you.
