Canada, as it turns out, isn't broken. That was the message coming out of Pierre Poilievre's big rebrand rally, where he tried to reposition himself as a champion of Canada's virtues rather than just another critic of its failures. And while Liberal partisans will look skeptically on this attempted political metamorphosis, the biggest doubters might actually be some of his erstwhile fans: the freedom convoy.
Right out of the gate it clearly is a hit piece on Pierre.
Check the social media accounts of any prominent convoy participant, whether it's Tamara Lich, Pat King, or their dedicated transcriptionists in the alt-press, and their sympathy for Donald Trump and antipathy towards Canada becomes immediately apparent. "Your sudden, newfound, fake patriotism is truly indicative of how stupid you think we are," Lich said. "The entitlement of certain Canadians is humorous," fellow organizer Chris Barber wrote. "If we had leadership in Canada who cared about Canadians like Trump cared about Americans β¦ we wouldn't be in this situation."
Yes the !leafs who like freedom want to be part of a country that unarguably has more rights and freedoms.
They insist the real problem isn't Trump's ongoing threats to our sovereignty but Justin Trudeau's continued existence β and, of course, the injustices and affronts that were inflicted upon them by his government. Rupa Subramanya, one of the most sympathetic chroniclers of the convoy's exploits, suggested that "Canadians have bought into the lie by politicians across the board that Trump wants to annex Canada, when what I believe is that he really wants Canadians to get rid of the Liberal government and have greater economic integration and cooperation with the US."
Trudeau drove the country into the shitter. He is why it sucks here. I don't give a frick about Trump and his "threats", "threats" which amount to "We'll make you a full state and give you all full citizenship in the best country on the gods green earth"
That's right: for these folks, public health orders aimed at protecting them and their fellow citizens are a greater threat to their liberty than an American government explicitly threatening their liberty. Policies like vaccine mandates and mask regulations β most of which, it's worth reiterating, were implemented by provincial governments β are worth resisting, apparently, but unjustified economic warfare is best met with submission and docility.
Yes forcing me to wear a mask that doesn't stop the spread (inb4: well you shoulda worn a kn95! No I don't care they were sold out everywhere and tons of the one in circulation were fake!) and get vaxxed to be able to buy food (This was seriously floated and why I finally gave in, well that and being able to work) is and was a massive threat to my freedom.
Getting to be American is the opposite of a threat to my freedom.
In some respects, the convoy's refusal to join the rest of the country in its fight against Trump's repeated provocations isn't all that surprising.
The convoy is over. It ended years ago. This is some g*mergate in current year shit.
What brought them to Ottawa in 2022 wasn't love of their country but hatred of the government in charge of it
No shit r-slur
hich helps explain the very conspicuous presence of American flags, Trump flags, and even Confederate and Nazi flags. It's why they plotted, at least in the beginning, to overthrow that government. And it's why, in a moment where the country they claim to love is being actively threatened with economic and political subjugation, they're rooting for the person doing the threatening.
I'm getting a stars and bars shirt just to piss off this jslu
They're welcome to believe whatever they want, of course. That's one of the virtues of living in a free and democratic society: you can pretend it's a woke dictatorship if that makes you feel better about your life choices.

Jannied for asking in bad faith. Tons of incessant chuddery and hand wringing in good faith.
There are many replicated studies showing IQ differences between races, so people who say otherwise are either uninformed or attempting to be politically correct. Your teacher is wrong unfortunately. The IQ differences are also at least partially explained by genetics.
Oh my god, where do I even start with this flaming hot dumpster fire of a comment? You rolled up here acting like you've cracked the genetic code of human intelligence, but all you've done is regurgitate centuries-old, debunked, pseudo-scientific garbage with the confidence of someone who skimmed one bad blog post and decided they're an expert. Let's tear this apart
First off, "replicated studies"? Really? That's the hill you're dying on? Newsflash, IQ differences between groups don't prove some grand genetic narrative, they prove we live in a world rife with inequities. Poverty, education quality, systemic discrimination, ring any bells? Oh, wait, let me guess, you skimmed a headline and decided all these factors are just "politically correct excuses." Actual scientists, you know,the kind who publish peer-reviewed research and don't just scream into the void online, have consistently shown that environmental factors account for these differences. Your take isn't just wrong, it just stupidly,embarrassingly simplistic.
Let's talk about race for a second. You do realize race isn't some neat biological category, right? It's a social construct, a messy one at that. The genetic diversity within any so-called racial group is greater than the differences between groups. So your whole "race = IQ" argument doesn't even make it out of the starting gate. It's like saying people with big feet are better at math because shoe size must correlate with intelligence. Do you hear how ridiculous that sounds? Because everyone else does.
Your weak little disclaimer about not using this to judge individuals. Congrats on trying to sound reasonable while peddling a racist framework. That's like saying, "Hey, I'm just pointing out how pineapples ruin pizza, but don't judge each slice on an individual basis." You're still serving up garbage. Your argument isn't bold or groundbreaking, it's tired. It's ignorant. It's been dismantled so many times by actual experts that bringing it up now is like showing up to a chess match with checkers pieces and insisting you're winning. Next time, maybe spend less energy parroting outdated eugenics nonsense and more time engaging with actual research. Or, you know, just sit this one out entirely. We'd all be better off.
Could you send me the information that lead you to the conclusions of "Actual scientists, you know,the kind who publish peer-reviewed research and don't just scream into the void online, have consistently shown that environmental factors account for these differences.". From my understanding, environmental factors most certainly play a large role in IQ, especially poverty and malnutrition, but I'm not familiar with any research that shows environment explaining anywhere close to all the variance in IQ between or within groups.
use your brain here, depending on where you are born, you have genetics in line with that population/ethnicity you're from. literally anything: skin colour, eye colour, muscle mass, bone density, lung capacity will vary between ethnicities. why on earth is IQ different?
Precisely. The only reason it's denied is because the implications are bleak and immuttable.
Pretty people privilege is another one many don't like to touch at all. Attractiveness and intelligence are the two privileges that transcend all others. If youre honest and attentive, you'll notice that most of the people crying about privilege online are often lacking in both.
There are. It's just a forbidden topic because it upsets people.
I don't think there's a differentiation with race, more like country since your intelligence heavily relies on multiple external factors which aren't innate/genetic.
Anyone who's downmarseying me is obviously white lol.
I at least upmarseyd because I agree.
Yea, as we all know the average iq is probably higher in small university towns too, not surprising due to the selection of people that arrive to town and the heritability of iq. But we shut the f up about that too. We don't express it that way because we all know that the unwashed masses and the woke left and the unhinged right will make any discussion impossible so just drop the subject if you want to stay sane.
Well the argument is almost always done in bad faith. It's almost alway to show that a certain race or group is naturally dumber than another. It holds 0 real benefit. Race is also a pretty ambiguous term because there is a ridiculous amount of genetic diversity in most "races"
How is there 0 benefit in understanding that cognitive ability varies for genetic reasons between groups? If we knew that this was the case, maybe we wouldn't have invested trillions of dollars into affirmative action and educational intervention for the purpose of remediating said differences? As long as the assumption that these gaps exist for purely environmental reasons, people will continue to believe that the White Europeans are responsible for oppressing those others to the degree that such differences manifest.
Geneticist here! Also gifted URM.
Two important factors to consider: 1. Genetic differences: Intelligence is a polygenic trait, meaning it is influenced by many genes. Currently, not all the genes associated with intelligence have been identified. In fact, there are still many gaps in our understanding of the genetic basis for various traits. For example, services like 23andMe sometimes make incorrect predictions (e.g., they claim I have wavy hair, which I don't). Until we fully understand the genetic factors that contribute to intelligence, we can't definitively determine how it varies across populations. 2. Environmental influences: IQ is often confounded with factors like poverty, education, and access to resources. At present, most identified gifted children come from stable, supportive households where parents have the time and resources to nurture their potential. In contrast, moderately gifted children from less privileged backgrounds may not be as readily identified, as they often lack access to the same opportunities and enrichment. This means our awareness of giftedness is highly skewed by socioeconomic factors.
As you can probably guess, race, culture, and poverty are deeply interconnected due to historical and systemic inequalities. Until we can fully disentangle the effects of these factors, any conclusions about the prevalence of giftedness across racial or cultural groups come with significant caveats.
Why do poor whites, asians, and jews commit significantly less crime than would be predicted of their socioeconomic status? Why has there not been a single study that shows socioeconomic intervention has been effective in reducing these so called "environmental factors"?
poor white british people in council estate areas in england are in the top 5 parts of england with the highest crime rate
The British Empire sent their criminals to Australia and the prison colonies of Georgia, America, and Australia has been doing pretty great lately.
yeah hundreds of years ago not now you are just denying statistics two of the top 5 worst areas for crime in england were over 92% white middlesborough and cleveland search it up for urself the other 3 were black areas you just deny data its unbelievable
I'm just pointing out a whole bunch of criminals were sent to Australia, and they made a functioning society. That's pretty impressive.
There are, but it's taboo to talk about it.
how come in India punjab has an iq of 96 and uttar pradesh is around 70-80 its a lot to do with financial aswell
May I see the study that purports Punjab IQ to be an average of 96?
https://raceandiqmyths.blogspot.com/2016/12/average-iq-of-india-and-iq-map-of-india.html
its actually 99
Read "The Bell Curve "
this is like saying "read mein kampf"
There is a notable difference between the mean IQ of different races, with Asians testing the highest followed by whites then Latinx then blacks, but it's a topic that a lot of people aren't emotionally ready to handle. See this cartoon for a funny take on the controversy.
If you want to learn more, you can always read The Bell Curve, which dove deep into this topic. You could also look into the Minnesota Study of Twins Raised Apart (MINSTRA), which found that genetics plays arguably the biggest role in intelligence, estimated at around 70 - 75%. The role of environment also plays a role but as children become adults, the effects of genetics become more pronounced and environment less pronounced.
this is fricking insane. you just linked to a white supremacist comic made by a literal nazi, then linked to a book by a fricking white supremacist who claims that the reason for the current social strata is that women, black people and latinx people are fundamentally stupider than white men and as such can't compete in the workplace.
when you start linking nazis and white supremacists to back up your points you need to start realising you're insane.
And you follow progressive values that led to 1920's Progressive eugenics that Nazi's learned their methodology from? 1920's Progressives were sending Native Americans to the reservation. 1920's Progressives were experimenting on minorities, but you're a Progressive, right? By the way, Progressive Christian values that were reactionary to traditional christianity.
quite possibly the most insane take you could've had. this sub is parroting the talking points of eugenicists.
there's nothing progressive about the nazis. there's nothing progressive about christianity. the real progressives in germany were researching about trans ppl before they were all killed and all their books and research was burned by the nazis.
nazis were insanely reactionary. literally complete opposite of being progressive lmao.
also "reactionary to traditional christianity"???? do you know what reactionary means??

Temporary Protected Status or TPS is a legal mechanism that protects illegals from deportation. According to the gov itself, Homeland Security may designate a foreign country for TPS due to conditions in the country that temporarily prevent the country's nationals from returning safely, or in certain circumstances, where the country is unable to handle the return of its nationals adequately. USCIS may grant TPS to eligible nationals of certain countries (or parts of countries), who are already in the United States.
This is a godsend for illegals from particular shithole countries because it is a literal trump card when it comes to illegal immigration. As long as TPS is extended, the date in which you had to make it to the US to apply for it keeps being rolled down, and with shitholes like Venezuela who remain unsafe given their actual dictator in chief, the prediction was that it would be free from Drumpfs list of targets as they are neither accepting deportees or stable/safe/not committing human rights abuses
TPS as a trump card is legitimately insane and lawcels use it to a ridiculous degree to prevent deportations. Notably, TPS can be used during deportation proceedings to:
Lawcels will effectively sneed at having a large amount of clients be outright unable to avoid deportation now, as will actual beneficiaries. The sneed from beneficiaries is also going to be monumental, because a TPS beneficiary qualifies for:
So wheres the drama? Soon to come about as the news comes out pretty late night about a niche topic. NYT has confirmed they have a copy of a Trump Administration Decision to shut down the latest renewals, meaning Venezuelans will lose their protections in 2 waves, one in April and another in September and face summary deportation unless they beg to be placed in the enormous queue for a deportation hearing. Keep an eye out for sneed sometime between tomorrow and saturday (deadline for DHS Sec to announce if renewed or banned). Once the official announcement is made and this actually hits headlines beyond one outlet, we may get a surge in Dramacoin (or it will all be unintelligible bastardized spanish).

BREAKING: Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau to resign this week.

They need to be hexed with 9001 Friedmans.
When Trump pulls this off, and the US is wildly, rich and wealthy again; unlike anything anyone alive has seen in over 100 years, it will be undeniable to even the most radical leftist that Trump's policies have been an overwhelming success for the United States, and he will earn his place on Mount Rushmore and as one of the greatest presidents in American history.
It sounds very reasonable but then some butthole who doesn't believe in Jesus/is a communist shows up.
don't get how it makes us rich. We import something like $3T of goods every year. Even if we somehow collected 100% of that, it wouldn't cover half of our spending
Mandatory spending was $3t in FY24, $2.1t was gibs for the elderly.
A king comes to the rescue explaining that daddy will be reducing waste
How do you not understand that Trump is going to cut all our wasteful spending and shrink the size of the government to historic lows?
If we cut the arms and legs off the old people we have a smaller volume of old people so can pay them less.
For those counting it would also take 12 years with zero spending to pay off the debt.
Or just abolish the IRS/completely strip funding, fire everyone.
This is called impoundment and was the subject of his first impeachment. Congress has the enumerated power to spend not POTUS, POTUS can't just decide he doesn't like what they want to spend on and reverse it.
Literally. Communism is 100% tax, I.e. 100% slave. We're about 50-60% of the way there.
Average effective rate is 16.4% but carry-on.
Don't forget property taxes. I'd like to see property taxes held at a certain rate that will not increase. People need to be able to budget their money without the government randomly raising taxes that could eventually force you out of your home.
Others paying for services for you sounds an awful lot like socialism to me.
We'll replace China as the number 1 exporter in both products AND oil/energy production and exports.
Also, it is as though the jeering lefties are unaware of the first hundred plus years of US history. NO income tax, tariffs galore, and they were a successful country.
I wonder what else lasted approximately a century?

The 28th Amendment is the law of the land, guaranteeing all Americans equal rights and protections under the law regardless of their sex. pic.twitter.com/oZtS6Q89zG
The Constitution does not specify a time limit for states to ratify the ERA and 38 states have ratified it. The dramatic call is to assert that it is in fact the law of the land. Women will now be drafted.

David Hogg is being a pig, according to Democratic National Committee insiders who are already slinging mud at the new party vice chairman.
Barely two weeks into his tenure, Hogg has been leveraging DNC contact lists to blast out messages soliciting donations to his own political action committee β from which he draws more than $100,000 in compensation a year, according to Federal Election Commission records.
...
Hogg co-founded "Leaders We Deserve" in August 2023 with the stated goal of electing young progressives to Congress and state legislatures across the country. It also provided him a six-figure income job right out of college.
Since the PAC was founded, Hogg has pocketed more than $175,000, records show, with more than $20,000 in salary payments coming in December alone, the most recent month for which public data is available.

Map of homophobic churches in the Oaklawn/Turtle Creek Gayborhood. Information in comments. Something you could do.
Would be a shame if something...happened...to those churches.
No it would be a shame, since they would play the victim. Also, that can be used as an excuse to not do mapping.
"Won't someone rid me of this medelsome priest?"
Don't spaypaint swastikas on those churches. Definitely don't throw a brick through their pretty windows. Absolutely do not call in a bomb threat during service. All of these things are illegal, and I'll remind you that we are a country where laws are respected and followed.

Shockingly the CPI (customer prices index) has risen again to 3%, nobody in the country could've predicted this happening.
Of course, this doesn't mean much of anything when prices seem to be entirely arbitrary, as seen by this monstrosity
Alongside non-existent wage growth
Results entirely in the obvious choice to get out of this country as fast as I can. But the next vote will fix things surely.

Me and my partner are both plus size. We were having s*x doggy position and he slipped out and immediately try to go back in but went into my butt instead.
This is the second time within a month that the same incident has happened. First time I cried so much because it hurt and he comforted me. This time it hurt still as much but I didn't cry because I'm more mad than sad.
I'm mad because I've always told him that I never want to do anal it's not something for me and he brought up doing anal for the longest time until I told him I'd have to break up if this was a deal breaker because it's never happening and he let it go.
Now that this has happened twice so close together I feel as if it's been done on purpose. Only because we've always done doggy and when he slips he repositions himself gently back in he never just tries to immediately go back in.
He apologized and said "I'm sorry. It's my fault I've gained weight and my belly is more round so I couldn't see and didn't realize"
So am I to believe his belly blocked him and he was just into it that's why he didn't position himself gently back or was this done on purpose? He didn't stay in long only because I let out a scream and told him to get off. It just feels so close together to have the same thing happen twice when in our 2 year relationship this has never happened before.
JUST WANTED TO ADD: Thank you I just felt like I was overthinking this. Once I brushed it off as accidental but twice within a month is too much. He is currently snoring while I'm here with a bit of soreness, nothing compared to the first time it happened but still. This happening twice now⦠I don't want to think he did it on purpose but this is looking like it was. I'm not sure how to proceed if we didn't have a baby together I'd say it's over. But me being a sahm me leaving over this it just can't happen overnight.
I think I'll just refrain from s*x with him for a while. He's not an aggressive or mean person but this incident just has me needing to take a step back from being intimate.
