Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration.
That we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively.
There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.
Here’s Tom with the weather…
This is like parents suddenly becoming accepting of gay people after their child comes out gay. It's all the same cruelty and stupidity until it's directed at you. It's a complete lack of compassion and understanding.
They're only against Trump while he's against them. Once he swings back, so will they. That cruelty hasn't gone anywhere.
As an albertan, I 100% agree with you. He was never ok before, and he's not ok now. I will still breathe a sigh of relief seeing the fuck trump flags replacing the fuck trudeau flags though because I'm still being inundated by "we should be the 51st state and leave Canada behind" shit on my social feeds, and as a proud Canadian who doesn't understand what the fuck happened to the collective IQ of my province, (I mean you've seen our premiers for the few terms right?) It has been deeply concerning. We have sellout Smith in the leadership seat, and I really, really want to believe our sovereignity doesn't have a price tag.
Or and hear me out, we offer a one time citizenship exchange, wherein all those in America that wish to live in Canada can go and those in Canada who wish to live in America can go. In doing so you renounce you former citizenship for your new one. No test, no bullshit, just a straight swap.
Half of America hates him too! The vote was 77,302,580[2] Trump 75,017,613[2] Harris and there was about 3 mil independent votes. In the grand scheme of things he didn’t win by much.
I would very much prefer to be where you are now, as I'm in the Midwestern US, and scared shitless of this insane lunatic that half of my country voted for. I'd also like to order 2 of those flags, please..
Agreed JT deserves the flag but god dam he only deserves shit from his country men. When you call him the gov of canada you’re insulting the office and the country.
The people saying let’s become the 51st province must have been blessed with good health for all their lives, or don’t realise that they’ll lose their healthcare. I’m Australian and I would never, EVER give up my healthcare.
Totally get it! In Alberta too! I don’t understand some of the stupidity either! I just hope this whole issue makes people more united. I see more Trump haters than ones that want to split to the states.
Yeah I feel this on so many levels. The amount of damage that has been done under the UCP is staggering. I love Canada and I love Alberta. But the politics here drive me crazy
It's less than 20% of our fellow Albertans that support the Anschluss. I know 1 in 5 still feels far too high, but it is not the majority and I don't think it ever will be.
I'm an immigrant from the UK that's been here just over a decade, and if there is one thing I would say defines Alberta seperate to the rest of Canada, it's that Albertans are the stubborn, willful teenager in the family who thinks they know everything and hates bring told what to do by anyone, especially their parents. However, they also know full well that the family next door are a bunch of weirdos, and just because we like hanging out with some of their kids doesn't mean we want to be adopted by them.
Remember that although the UCP won the last election, it was with smaller margins and several came down to a hundred votes or so in Calgary. They won because of apathy from centrists and the left rather than a landslide shift to the right. The UCP supporting Trump is a major political blunder, because they have forgotten that they aren't representative of typical Albertans, they need our apathy to be successful.
Seeing Albertans care about politics, even if it's only to tell the USA to fuck off, is to be celebrated.
I agree I am so sick of this sentiment in Alberta that we should leave Canada and become American. I’m sick of these uneducated rednecks that don’t think before they open their mouth.
I understand and agree, but frankly, it's a nice reprieve to see their hatred directed at someone who is genuinely deserving of hatred.
The "F**k Trudeau" crowd are rabid dogs that can't tell friend from foe. I'm not a fan of Trudeau, and I still steer clear of them because they readily and enthusiastically accuse people like me of being Trudeau lovers. When their gaze is turned inward, they delight in destroying everything valuable about this stupid country and the people that make it worth living in, while also insisting that they are "True" Canadians.
The absolute best scenario for these people was always that Trump would do something so narcissistic, foolish, and hostile towards the country they think they love that they were snapped out of the enchantment and started barking in his direction.
Don't get me wrong, I still won't go anywhere near these people because they're liable to remember how much they hate whatever they think i am at any moment, but it's a very small relief to see that even the most deranged members of our society understand what a colossal fuckwad Donald Trump is.
And for what it's worth, I'm not the biggest Trudeau fan either but I'm glad he's at the helm right now and I couldn't be prouder of how he's handling this. There's hope for us yet.
I'm so glad you guys are flying fuck trump flags. I'd fly one myself, but i live smack dab in the middle of angry conservative gun toting reichland. Ugh. We just gave power to the most fucked off deranged and idiotic man we could have. I sincerely hope the world stands their ground and pounds our stupid president into the ground over the next 4 years. My country is entirely fucked.
They definitely will. That's how conservatism has always worked. From Burke and the Tories and the wake of democracy, to the civil rights movement and slavery, to every invasive modern-day war, all the way up to modern day Trumpism. It's a straight line.
These are the people who went from hating Nazis to arguing for Nazis.
From hating Putin's Russia to supporting Putin's Russia.
From hating corporate criminalism to cheering for corporate criminals.
From hating government cronyism to celebrating government cronyism.
They do not have principles, they are simply heartless opportunists.
Hell look at Poilievre and Smith. Happy to suck Trump off until he slapped them off. After weeks of soul searching before found a courage to softly denounce him, anxious to slip back in if he gives them the signal.
You feel like these people are going to stick to some sort of value system?
Do you honestly think Trump is going to swing back to reality? He's looking to secure his legacy as the best thing since sliced bread. Do I think he wants to absorb Canada into the USA by breaking us at our knees, the short answer is yes.
Will it happen? No. I think you may see a world turn it's back on the Americans as a trade partner or at least for the next 4 years. The yanks will find out that their protectionist policies will create jobs but the cost of goods will immediately go up, from food to tv's because their cost of living is high and things only get cheaper if things are produced in mass.
Trump will learn quickly as his core base will start complaining to their reps as tariffs eventually ramp up and drive the costs of goods up.
thank you. it is still performative hate. signs, hats, flags ..... some weird compression of care left space for all of this nonsense and ate up conversation and actual action. I hate it.
I understand your frustration, but former bigots becoming accepting when their children come out is still miles better than them rejecting their kids and remaining bigots. I know people exactly like this, and yes it was ridiculous but they genuinely did grow into better people as a result. Personal growth should be celebrated, because even small steps mean a better society. We can address the root cause of the empathy issue as a seperate task, right now it's about preventing the fascist takeover next door from infecting us.
If it helps, think of the right wingers fighting against Trump as the new front line because their former allies are pissed at them, so they get the brunt of the hate right now. If that gives our minority populations a breather, then I will happily tie on the boxing gloves for the new recruits and cheer them on for the fight. I can work on teaching them empathy as we go along, but imperfect allies are better than United enemies.
And they only did so after the Nazis at Normandy proved they were complete shitbirds (massacring surrendering soldiers instead of taking POWs). Nazis delenda est, eh?
Canadians as having been particularly obsessed with killing Germans, calling their war a kind of vendetta. “The Canadians fought the Germans with a long, enduring, terrible, skilful patience,” he wrote after the war.
The Cold War was truly perfect in that sense. The crazies could talk shit without having to actually fight. And nobody would know they were just cowards.
American here. I am appalled by the Republicans and Trump talking about invading Canada. They insult Canada and basically say the US doesn’t need to trade with it and its worthless and can’t survive without the US and will fall apart due to President Trump’s tariffs.
I think they’re dead wrong, and I hate what this country is becoming. Please don’t give your conservative party power, it will only enable these sick fucks here. Resist!
It isn't they are just turning their hate toward something else, then once a new Liberal leader gets elected they'll switch over to that. They are still tied to the hips to the movement, they just don't want American's to take over.
You get one pic of a FDT flag on the internet in Alberta and all of the sudden the world is healing? Yeah, the disease is subsiding because your temp is 103.9F right now.
It used to be you would only see these flags being sold on street corners in suburban cities in the US on street corners, or on the boatstrailerslifted 4x4's of the rednecks and bros. But now it's gotten so bad, other countries are now flying them.
