Racists is too gentle.

Nazis. You're hiring (appointing) nazis now.

I don't have a strong opinion on the matter, but it really seems like it would encourage stalking and revenge-downvotes.

Well, Germany has the same problem as the US: Musk.

Elon has been pouring his support (and god knows how much illicit money) behind the AfD, to get fascists elected there. Same in Canada, same in the UK.

So he's going to 'take some time to figure out his next moves' while doing the same thing but surreptitiously, while Musk throws some pocket change at him.

A nazi isn't going to walk away from the opportunity to hurt people.

I wish the media had the balls to be honest.

"Internal dissent among fascist party's plans to invade Gaza and finish genocide."

There are, but more alarming are the grifters who have putshed this entire philosophy of bullshit to scam the poor suckers who are trying to find a secret way of not being broke all the time.

Your anger is justified, and I thought a lot about this, but I stand by it.

On September 11 2001, the people of Gander NL opened their hearts and their homes to planeloads of people who couldn't land in the US. Earlier this year, Canadian firefighters were in California, helping fight the wildfires there. In 1959, Canadian engineers and scientists flocked to the US to help build the fledgling NASA and get to the moon. Who was down helping sort through the wreckage after Katrina, after Milton, after a dozen other natural disasters? That's right, Canada - your closest ally. In 2016, when Trump was first elected, I offered to sponsor a number of my US friends (made when I was working in California under NAFTA) if they came to Canada as immigrants, asylum-seekers, or refugees.

And make no mistake - the US has had our back almost as reliably, if only because it's easier to help out when you have ten times the population. You were here last summer helping with our wildfires, as Jasper burned, and we're beyond grateful.

But now your president - your democratically elected leader - has declared economic war on us, with the explicit intent of taking over our country! It's more than a slap in the face, it's an outright assault. And now that Canadians are looking back on the last 80 years or so, we're realizing that we've given up far too much autonomy and identity to our loudmouth friend who just betrayed us.

So I'm sorry, but I'm getting out of this abusive relationship. I'm not standing for it anymore. It's going to hurt us like hell, but we need to do it to survive as a nation.

This is the thing - if we take in the people who are going to suffer the most, we're taking in the people with the most incentive to fix your country at all costs. If the only people left are Trump supporters and the other 30% or so who can survive under his regime, then he'll just get stronger and stronger.

This is a key moment in history. Stay and fight. Defeat the Nazis at home before it's too late. If you're willing to give up on your country and doom the rest of the world, then I don't know what to say.

'Fascist thugs to spend 2025 trying to suck fleeing customers back in with proven-bad idea.'

Screw it.

Block it all. Block it ALL!!!

I've been saying for years (decades?) that we need to stop treating the US like a friend. At the very best, they're a giant that may roll over in their sleep and crush us.

But now, the US has openly declared (economic) war on us, and Trump still keeps talking about making us the 51st state.

We need to swallow the pain and block the US as much as humanly possible. Ban immigration from the US - including cross-border married couples and asylum-seekers. Visas owned by Americans working in Canada will not be renewed on expiration. Start enforcing CanCon laws again, across all media (esp. streaming platforms). Deny access to Canada for all pro-fascist organizations. Fox News and Newsmax? Gone.

This isn't about Trump's stupid tariffs, it's about what he intends to use them for - leverage to take over Canada. We've been too complacent and complicit for too long, but it's time to stand, united, at our southern border and say "you shall not pass."

Canada didn't decide to have a trade war.

Trump did, and Canada is retaliating.

This is 100% the fault of Trump & co.

Not good ennough. Doxxing should carry criminal charges.

Fair warning: it's likely that your ISP will block attempts at self-hosting a mail server at home.

Of course not.

They're likely to give Imperial's CEO a bag of cash and say, "don't worry bro, we got this."

...and fucking stay there. We never want to see her again in Alberta.

Her name is Marlaina. Until I see a note from her parents saying she's allowed to change her preferred name, she should be called Marlaina.

While it's true that we have too many Nazis in this province (and we keep electing the fuckers!), Gilmore's point is well taken: If the Cons and Poilievre win the next election, it will be decided before the Alberta polls are even closed.

So please, stop pointing your finger at one region and feeling superior. We need to fight these vermin across the entire country and world, and can only do it together.

At this point, I suspect the only real solution is guns and knives.

Not advocating, just commenting.

The ADF excused Musk for his Nazi salutes last week. :-(

The media needs to stop reporting 'neutrally' on this bullshit, and call it out as expansionist lies.
