And this is exactly why the fuck Trump is chasing Canada as well.

Hard for the Nazi to walk on the grass with his diaper and lifts huh.

Nope? Just saying you can trace a direct line from her wringing her hands about Brent Kavanaugh but ultimately voting to confirm, to impeachment “learned his lesson”, all the way through to today. She has had multiple opportunities to be on the right side of history and has consistently picked the evil choice every time all while Helen Lovejoying the shit out of her job for the cameras. She has been one of the enablers of Trump’s agenda while the whole time acting “very concerned”.

All this shit started with her and her will she won’t she LeBron James The Decision bullshit.

This is because of Elon.

Fuck it idc put 200% on Teslas and give us access to cheap Chinese vehicles.

I mean there’s no right wing party in Canada either. The one we had has lost serious momentum over this.

He doesn’t joke. He said tariffs are coming for Europe and they will. Canada 51st state isn’t a joke.

To be honest Canada’s feeling pretty alone and abandoned by the international community. Other allies should also be standing up to this nonsense. This isn’t how we all stand up to bullies.

I don’t think it’s a factor about him being old. He’s a figurehead. It’s the tech bro billionaires and ghouls he’s putting in place to operationalize their own plans. This includes dismantling democracy. That’s not just going to stop with the US.

They’ll be coming at you guys soon enough. Best to figure out which side you’re on.

You’ll probably get the wrath anyway. It’s a matter of time. Best to plan.

From a Canadian… I like American people. I don’t want anyone to suffer. It’s been hard enough.

I’m sad that this is happening. As they said on our news network - Canadian soldiers died in Afghanistan for the US, we harboured stranded Americans after 9/11, we helped to fight the fires in California, and many other things.

I don’t want to fight with our neighbours to the south. At the same time, this is incredibly disrespectful and offensive, especially since we’ve always had America’s back. We don’t believe for a second this is about fentanyl or immigration so the President can drop the bullshit on that.

I’m disappointed that America was so blind this election and voted for Trump. I’m incredulous that your elected representatives are so spineless and money-driven. I’m shocked that there’s not more public outrage related to Citizens United, Roe, and what’s just happened with the FBI.

The best outcomes for this as a Canadian are basically that we’re going to have to ramp up our own manufacturing, and that it damages the ambitions of our own little Canadian Trumpler.

I don’t spot the difference between this and how most modern day corporations are operated:

• “To lower morale and with it, production, be pleasant to inefficient workers; give them undeserved promotions. Discriminate against efficient workers; complain unjustly about their work.”
• “Hold conferences when there is more critical work to be done.”

You do understand how your example is different though, right?

By “end-of-life” home I’m assuming you mean hospice, which is absolutely not the same as medical assistance in dying (MAiD). I don’t know the story, however, hospices exist in many countries. Hospices do not provide “very basic [medical] care” - they are there to manage pain, manage symptoms to an extent, and provide a comfortable space for that person to die. If the family did not agree that their family member should have been in hospice they needed to seek a second opinion. Hospices are not there to cure someone’s medical condition. If you go into one it is because you are imminently dying.

The mistake of the medical staff in putting this person in hospice is not the same as someone who is of sound mind, learns that they have a terminal disease, and chooses for themselves to go through the medical assistance in dying process.

MAiD is a process with multiple checks and balances with multiple levels of oversight. You are able to opt out at any time prior to the final event.

Have you ever had to watch a family member decline though? What about a pet? How did you treat that pet? Did you prolong their suffering and watch them slowly die unable to eat or drink or did you do something about it so they did not have to suffer? Why are humans different if they themselves, sound of mind, choose to end their own suffering?

An acquaintance of mine’s relative chose to go this way due to ALS. It was their choice and the last year was hell on the family, even though the relative had selected assisted dying.

Before modern medicine, how exactly do you think they handled grandma who was losing her marbles and lived in a one room farmhouse with the rest of the family? Especially if they’re violent and nasty. Is it right to withhold care/food/water and let nature take its course? Is that murder? Was there murder or suicide? Lots of this stuff has happened throughout history within the privacy of a family. People were likely more “religious” back then but we didn’t have the regulations or medical oversight to document things as such. Likely they just told people that their relative died of natural causes, buried them on the family plot and were done with it.

It is hell to witness the pain and confusion someone you love has when they have a degenerative disease and the Herculean effort it takes to care for someone in a condition like this. A family simply cannot do this alone without paying an exorbitant amount of money for medical and support staff - around the clock.

It’s like anything else in history:

• Ban abortion and abortion still happens, but without any shred of dignity, humanity or compassion.
• Ban drugs and guess what, they still exist on a dangerous black market.
• People still kill themselves without the help of medical assistance in dying. This just provides a path to dignity and closure for the person and their family for those who choose it. And I’m sure if you’re intent on ending your life, you don’t give a fuck about the stigma.

Wouldn’t it be a good thing to “de-stigmatize” suicide? So people can talk about it and we have more of a chance to intervene with people who do not have a lethal disease?

Everyone I have encountered who brings up “suicide is never an option” in relation to issues like this has never had to witness it. I’m 100% going out this way if I ever have a lethal disease.

Oh yeah it won’t happen all at once though. He’s going to test it bit by bit to make everyone else flinch. Then probably try to install a series of rules that effectively neuter it.

It’s the way Russia does it - the institution still “stands” but is beaten into ineffectual submission by a series of a thousand cuts. He’s got Turkey, Hungary and possibly Romania and Italy to back him up in this regard.

I’d add: he’ll probably threaten to pull out of NATO if the rest of the countries continue arming/aiding Ukraine.

It’s certainly one perspective but I don’t think it’s the only possibility.

It’s been a long time for testing and no one seems in the loop. Why lie about it.

Also the military has testing sites - why over populated civilian areas? Why not say they’re running a military exercise and loop in law enforcement at the very least?

Why also the sightings of similar “drones” in the UK?

Why do they “go dark” when chased?

If it was US military why did they prevent a medical helicopter from taking off? That seems highly unnecessary and cruel.

It’s super interesting that there are reports that a bunch of drones were following a coast guard ship.

Interestingly civilian drones get disabled around these NJ ones. Apparently they can’t fly and have issues.

That doesn’t seem like it’s enough money to pay an enormous hospital bill.

Bribe it’s called a bribe.

They took money from Saudi Arabia post bankruptcy if I recall correctly.

This is serving so much Saudi Arabia energy.
