This is interesting and funny! Stephen Colbert Trolls MAGA With Proof Trump Fans 'Don't Even Know What They Voted For'2 points

Not quite but I wish... Quebec has had 7 Amazon warehouses. 1 of them tried to unionize and apparently succeeded. Amazon then closed down their warehouses. 1700 to 1900 jobs lost. But its closer to 3000 jobs. The Quebec government is going to sue Amazon for illegally closing down its warehouses and for them to re-open them... Amazon said they will be using 3rd party warehouses OUTSIDE of Quebec and using 3rd party delivery services. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/unionized-amazon-warehouse-quebec-concern-1.7441043 https://globalnews.ca/news/10995828/amazon-quebec-legal-challenge-job-losses/ https://www.cnbc.com/2025/02/04/amazon-to-face-legal-action-after-quebec-warehouse-closures.html In my opinion, Quebec cant really legally force a company to leave. But Amazon also knew, like every other business wanting to do business in Quebec that Quebec is not anti-union. We are not pro-union per se, we will constantly bitch about the evils of unions, but we dont mind if unions do succeed in forming and well...we let unions do union things. Weird dynamic. My other opinion is that I wished that we NEVER got these phoquing Amazon jobs here to begin with. Jobs lost is one thing, but a job like an Amazon warehouse employee will really not help out the economy, nor will it help with unemployment or poverty. It will make it worse. Amazon warehouse employees arent paid all that much, job security at an Amazon warehouse is not all that great and products sold from Amazon dont do much for the Canadian economy nor for the local (Quebec) economy. Amazon does not pay any income tax to Quebec or Canada nor does a Quebec Amazon consumer pay any Quebec or Canadian sales tax on what he/she bought from Amazon. All around shyte from an all around shyte company making billions of dollars for a very shytty person named Bezos. Although admittedly not as shytty as Elon Musk. eeeee...ah-lmost as shytty as Elon Musk if we are honest with ourselves. When I heard the news that Amazon was closing its warehouses and a couple of these people were on the news almost crying about their jobs going away, I actually blamed them. I said to myself, why on earth did you want to be employed there for phoques sake? You are better off on phoquing welfare!!! Pride for actually having a job? Not at Amazon!!! One of the lowest things one could do in life is work for a human being like Bezos...1 point

America is inherently a vile and stupid country at its core. This song was written decades ago, and we will indeed get fooled again and again...and again. \1 point

Necesito un boleto de avion. Same here in Columbus. Boycott American forever if there is a reasonable alternative. Everyone on the planet should. Seriously. The forces that made America this in 2025 were there in 1965 when i was born. If they didn't go away in the last 60 years, they won't go away in the next sixty. Honestly, the best thing for America would be for it to revert to wilderness from the Canadian border to the Mexican border. Give stupidity time man. We are only two weeks into a two century long MAGA rule. lots of time for things to go further off of the rails. They will believe whatever lie you tell them. Reality escapes most Americans.1 point

Oh...I forgot. What about unfair trade practices from Canada that Trump himself drew up in 2019 or 2020? What happened to that? How do we fix that?1 point

So... There has to be 10 000 'front-line' personnel and helicopters flying around at the border along with this specially appointed fentanyl czar to make sure no fentanyl passes through... What are these 10 000 people at the border supposed to do? Look around and stare at people? Interogate? Arrest? Ask how the weather's doing? Play shinny when its slow? What are the credentials of these 10 000 people to work at the border to be? Who will be hired as the 10 000 people to work at the border? High School summer time job seekers? Full time high school drop outs? Ex military? Former Walmart cashiers? Amazon truck drivers that have been layed off because Amazon left Quebec? Uber eats drivers while they deliver Hot Dogs to the actual border people? Helicopters are supposed to be patrolling the border. What kind of helicopters? Cobras and Apaches? We will have to call them something else up here in Canada as we are woke... Or will it be Blackhawks? We will have to make sure that no DEI personnel fly them as we all know they cause crashes when dealing with Blackhawk helicopters... If we find sketchy fentanyl drug lords at the border, do we bomb them? What if some of those bombs end up hitting US territory? Will the US decry war on Canada for hostility? Or will it be passed as friendly fire? A new war on drugs is brewing and Canada and the US will have JOINT task forces to fight them. And here I thought he doesnt need Canada... Oh boy are WE lucky that Trump is letting us on a secret mission. He actually needs us. I feel the love...1 point

This was the ride across the pond. I took a funkier combo of flights on a miles redemption to get onto this A340-600, actually the longest commercial aircraft in existence for at least a decade. I figured as much just looking at it. Here it is pulling up to the gate in Boston. Only took about 6:30 across, which went fast. It's obviously a stretched A340-300 with bigger engines. This thing barreled down the runway and it was "wheels up" in no time at all. I like the 2-4-2 seating in economy. There is not much of an economy cabin in terms of length. A lot of the interior space was surprisingly first and business class. With the fog and clouds, the view over Boston, which could have been spectacular, was nonexistent. I love quadjets. They look so regal, for lack of a better word. I miss them as there are fewer of them.1 point

Im actually kinda pissed the tariff war is not going to happen. Canada had it right to attack the red states. The red states NEED to feel pain. Everybody in North America would have felt the pain. But by attacking the products that the red states offer, that pain that the red states would have felt would have taught them a lesson. Maybe they would have still be morons and turn a blind eye to Trump, but they would have felt the MOST pain of ALL of us. And THAT is what I WANT. I want the red states to phoquing SUFFER!!!1 point

1. How does one become a fentanyl czar (to protect the preciuos US border)? 2. What credentials do I need to become THE fentanyl czar (to protect the preciuos US border)? 3. How can I apply to become THE fentanyl czar (to protect the preciuos US border)? Sounds like a cool job. But something tells me its just a lollipop negotiation thing to make Donald the fat phoque duck tell his 'people' he is a strong leader...1 point

I'm "constantly craving" for videos like these. Thanks! I am in the lobby of my hotel doing some admin. stuff and having some snacks, and the k.d. lang-alike cocktail bar waitress has been real nice to me, which is rarely the case. But, then, I'm in a different country. My personal opinion about LGBT folks who like Trump is that it, if blue collar, it "butches them up" and, if white collar, it's "look at me, I'm mainstream." This is but the tip of the iceberg. A lot of the blame goes to "poor white trash" (I hate to use this term, but the shoe fits) who can be spoon fed or think that they can live vicariously through his wealth and "Camelot" life ... like that wedding at Mar-a-Lago. Add to that minorities who have no business voting like that. The Rio Grande Valley counties of Texas near Harlingen, McAllen, and such, have historically been blue, but have become more red. Translation: at least 85% of the population is Mexican or Mexican-American. However, Elon launches his rockets from the South Texas coast and has created "some" jobs. I was down there on S.P.I. for a couple of weeks, oblivious that there were launches from there. I happened to see the mid-January launch from the causeway, along with many others. (This is the one that failed over the Caribbean, which also sent air traffic controllers for commercial aircraft scrambling to divert planes.) You know that those Mexican folks in attendance with SpaceX baseball caps have gone red. The Cubans embarked on this a long time ago. It's thinly veiled cultural appropriation to be more "white," I'm sad to say. So, Agent Orange has not only divided the citizenry. He has fragmented religiosity. A lot of people who don't want to go to their long-time church because it's a PAC clique have switched congregations or have quit going. This is one very ugly chapter that could have been avoided. I am not blaming affluent and conservative GOP folks. They aren't that big in terms of numbers. I blame the "basket of deplorables." I hope we'll get through this.1 point

Pretty Bad when you see Fox News showing a scrolling lineup of pretty much everything that will have a jump in price as the pinch is on to destroy America.1 point

We'll seems stupid is raging more as Tennessee is wanting to push through an amendment that would allow Trump a 3rd term. Tennessee congressman proposes resolution creating path for a third Trump term I honestly see revolution in our future as Dictator Heir Trump attempts to take over the country with his stupidity. I totally agree with the Hedge funds that are saying the U.S. stock market is about to crash in a way that people have not seen and we could see a depression that will destroy the poor and low income. Scary times for sure. What is mind boggling is how much is produced and why NAFTA was a good deal for the U.S., Canada, and Mexico as it allowed production on high-cost items to help control costs. Get ready for anything in an Aluminum can / container to jump big time in cost. BBQ that use Stainless steel produced in Canada will cost much more. Tesla Cyber trucks will see a huge jump due to the stainless steel body if anyone really wants to buy such garbage. Layoffs are coming.1 point

He wants Canada, Greenland, Mexico, and Panama to be subservient non voting non representative states so his wealthy buddies can strip the mineral wealth and destroy the environment. It's almost as if electing a lying felon who only cares about the wealthy would have adverse affects. If only some logical thinking might have revealed this to say....an eight day old house cat with brain damage. Who couldn't see this coming. Again, the forces that created this mess won't go away. The best choice is immigration elsewhere and the renunciation of American citizenship. America is a lost cause. Excellent. Enjoying my Ranger, has been an excellent truck.0 points
