Just so that you all know, some of these made it onto The National on CBC yesterday, which, for those that are unaware, is one of the the major national Canadian news program. Unfortunately, my favourite (head/hand swap by cac) didn’t make the cut.

I really like the cut of your jib

In my wholely subjective opinion, A Scanner Darkly is by a wide margin the best movie of the lot.

Buy a 2001 Toyota Celica GT-S with a 6-speed!

Man, tell me about it. I have so much rust to fix in the spring. Stupid lousy Winnipeg.

Also, I think the long term consequences are interesting to consider. If a war erupts between China and the USA, a large part of the manufacturing capacity in China will now be sitting dormant, as it no longer will have access to the largest market in the world, and depending on how the US Allies view the war,…

I guess it depends on if the population buys into the ends of the war, and if the means to accomplish those ends can be sold to them. How long would the Chinese citizenry tolerate a naval blockade? How long would they tolerate being unemployed, since all of their manufacturing jobs for the USA are now toast? Not to…

Oh absolutely. The global economy is a wildly different machine these days. That doesn’t mean that countries will base their decisions on whether or not to go to war solely on the economic aspects of it.

I don’t disagree that the Chinese typically live in lower standards of livings than their American equivalents. However, the U.S. system of governance has more relief valves for public outrage over the failures of the U.S. government. The Chinese system of governance has far fewer release valves; any protests,…

Yeah, this happened to me with MGSV (I’m late to playing it!). I’ll be looking around, and then it will just seem to stick for a second longer. Super annoying. Usually resetting the PS4 does the trick though.

Also, just to be clear, I don’t expect there to be a war between the US and China, just not for the direct economic reasons associated with foreign holdings of debt.

“Way too many financial implications to start a war” didn’t stop Europe from going apeshit in 1914.

It depends on who wins the conservative leadership race. There are plenty of responsible adults in the race, and a few really rotten apples (Leitch in particular, O’Leary somewhat less so). I think that the CPC has to a certain extent realised in the past 20 years that the key to winning and governing successfully is…

If people chose to vote strategically, that is their business. Don’t try to scare me into voting for my second choice because “OH NO THE CONSERVATIVES MIGHT WIN AGAIN”. It’s up to the Liberals to earn my vote from the NDP. They won’t get it with fear of a Conservative government. They should earn my vote through the…

This is literally the rallying cry of Liberals every election.

Ha Ha

Not to mention the amount that cats kill per year, either.

Not that I don’t think we should be environmentally conscientious about these things, but it always bears repeating that birds decimate their population every year by flying into buildings.

Yes, it was revised it the article. It was originally as I quoted it.

It’s not they’re fault
