That’s not at all how the SNC-Lavalin thing went. JT tried to make a stubborn minister understand that there was a tool put in place for situations like what SNC was into, a tool that would allow the company to survive in exchange for pleading guilty and paying millions in fine. A tool that is regularly used in…

And put whom instead? I mean, yeah I think Trudeau is hindering the Liberals, but who else do you put in his stead? The only one that has any clout is Christia Freeland, but I’m not sure she wants the job.

Coalition government have never happened at the federal level in Canada. What is most likely to happen in the case of a Conservative minority is that they’ll form a government and strike a deal with individual parties bill by bill, and then start an election in 1-2 years to get a majority.

BQ, not PQ. PQ is a provincial party. 

What, no Ravage 2099? But he was the best of them! He was an environmentalist vigilante whose real name was, no joke, Paul-Phillip Ravage. We need him back, Marvel!

My cousin is bipolar. She’s neither racist nor homophobic nor anti-semitic nor a raging asshole. Please stop using bipolarity as an insult. Thank you.

“Every time the show would start up again, I would go, “Okay, where am I going this year?” And they’d say, “I have no idea. Let’s figure this out.” And we would chat about it and see what was happening.”

“Women do not do the dramatic throw up for being “suggested” to suck someone’s dick, that’s just Tuesday!”

I don’t think he’s trying to mansplain, I think he is truly under the impression that Starlight did not suck The Deep and he is bad a communicating that. I think he is wrong, but since we don’t see her do it, it’s not an entirely invalid interpretation. I have not seen the show in full yet, so maybe later dialogues…

If I remember correctly, the rifles aren’t on display. They are in the back and they get them out on requests only. Kinda like tobacco in many provinces.

Good. So as a responsible gun owner, you should see no problem in having to pass a gun safety course and obtaining a gun license to prove you are who you say you are. Also, since you are responsible, you shouldn’t mind not being able to carry your gun with you anywhere but the places you are going to use. 

Nah, the triple AAA game industry is more than happy to play this “violent videogames are causing mass shooting” sonh and dance. Because it distracts us from the real problems with their games - the predatory marketing tactics, the lootboxes, the microtransactions, the “live services” and all that shit.

“On top of that, there are literally hundreds of thousands of deaths related to smoking, yet nobody tries to even stop it.”

“Walmart will up and leave a spot the second they can get a better deal or put pressure on a competitor.”

I’m Canadian. The first time I took the Greyhound to the US, I was shocked by two things:

“just that we simply don’t have as many insane people and insane Christian sects like they do.”

Instead of acting superior to the US, we need to gear up for our own electoral battles. Because so far the right wing has been winning. Kenney, Ford and Legault (who is a different kind of right-wing, but still) all won their election hand over fist last year, and Scheer is pretty close to do the same thing. Scheer…

You are confusing two things here - box-office records and being a cultural juggernaut. One doesn’t really have anything to do with the other. Perfect example? Avatar. A box-office record for over ten years Not a cultural juggernaut.

Even that would be skewed - you’d also have to take into account changing demographics, the entertainment offer as a whole (i.e. a movie released today in competition with tv shows amd videogames vs a movie released before tv was widespread), and the many ways a film can be seen (i.e. solely in theater vs theater+home…

Except there is a real argument to be made that the reasons for Gone with the Wind success have less to do with the movie’s quality, and lot more to do with cultural and economic factors that don’t exist anymore. Do you think GwtW would have sold that many tickets if everyone back then gad a color tv at home and a…
