Hey buddy, a friendly reminder to check your CO monitors regularly. Carbon monoxide is a silent killer.

It's clear you disagree with some of his actions, I'm curious who you believe would be better in his position right now, and how they should address the US-Canada relationship.
I think you're suffering from the same lack of curiosity that the CBC suffers.
I want to know why random Dutch guys thought that it would be profitable to get into the separatist influencer game, and go through the effort of setting all this up in the first place. Why didn't the CBC ask them why they even know about this issue or why they figured a maximum audience of 6% of the population of Alberta would be enough to give them thousands a month in income? What are their viewership statistics anyway?
Somebody is watching the videos and giving these Dutch guys money via YouTube views. It makes me angry that CBC didn't push a bit harder to try and find out why these Dutch guys thought to start separatist YouTube channels. Why did they think it would make money, particularly since the movement only has a bare few percent support and only in Alberta? And what are their viewership statistics?
CBC only went far enough to say "nothing to see here, just some Dutch guys making untraceable money on something that they have no earthly reason to know about and even less of a reason to suspect would be profitable, because under normal circumstances it absolutely would not be."
The whole thing stinks like bullshit, and CBC dropped the ball. We are all way too fucking complacent for the magnitude of these problems and the forces driving them.
There are places to live in smaller cities or smaller communities.
And it appears that the U.S. has more affordable places with jobs today, but Canada’s affordable regions are likely to become much more attractive if U.S. instability rises and Canada actually executes a serious national growth strategy.
I have no problem with Nazi executions at Nuremberg, even if they were horrific, but this dude sounds like a cowardly blowhard who got to live out his sadistic shitty dreams.
The satisfaction I felt when I got to the end of the WP bio and read this: "While changing a lightbulb and standing in a pool of water, Woods was accidentally electrocuted on July 21, 1950 and buried in Toronto Township Cemetery, Toronto, Kansas."
In the end, he got the chair. Taken out by the competition.
I'm sure you're aware that splitting the left is often seen as a win for the right, and reasonably so given FPTP and the political aversion in this country to what should be (and are in other parliamentary democracies) acceptable democratic political maneuvering, such as forming coalitions and crossing the floor unimpeded.
Now all those American players can go back to their Canadian teams and continue to suck in the playoffs and never win a cup.
This suggests your advice to everyone is that we should all just give up.
Is this meant to sound condescending towards me? Or am I misreading it?
Hey friend I, and many others here, may be sympathetic to the disrespect that the NDP gets, but your hyperpartisan and absolute rejection of other parties (and similarly- framed NDP boosting) comes across poorly.
Do you honestly believe the NDP is the only honest, principled and righteous party in the country? And you believe they would stay that way when they necessarily grew their tent in order to assume power?
Oooo, you're like cool and stuff. So cynical.
