I'm gonna hit the highway like a battering ram On a silver black phantom bike When the metal is hot and the engine is hungry And we're all about to see the light I can see myself tearing up the road Faster than any other boy has ever gone And my skin is raw but my soul is ripe No one's gonna stop me now I gotta make my escape But I can't stop thinking of you And I never see the sudden curve until it's way too late I never see the sudden curve until it's way too late Then I'm dying at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun Torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike

PHOQUE YEAH!!! But I am at it again... Phoque LA! Phoque the US! Go CANADA Go!!! Vlad Jr. born in Montreal. So...there IS a Canadian element there. I do have a problem with the Dodgers though. Lasorda kicked out Youpi!!! So that "phoque LA" thing actually does come outside of the political realm and from the sporting world. But unfortunately though...that "phoque the US" thing is sadly political...

I agree with you. Tomorrow's newspaper headlines will read: Oldshurst of Cheersandgears from Montreal Quebec has been civil to CCAP from Saint Louis Missouri. Yes folks, you read that correctly. Oldshurst has been civil to CCAP. What a turn of events! Out of the blue. It was a post concerning a C7 Corvette ZR1. Another poster by the name of...

Damned phoquing straight! For some Canadians, it is quite hard to step away from the US. We are (Canadians and Americans) quite the same peoples (I am not talking about the beginnings of our countries of Natives, French English, Spanish settlers...I am talking about when all the wars and land settlements and the pushing of the Natives aside was done and the start of the industrial revolution arrived and WW1 and WW2 and the onslaught of all the world's immigrants coming to America and Canada) and cultures albeit with some differences. We both have enjoyed the same successes and shortcomings in political, social and economical event along the way. Music and television and sports... victories and defeats. We both enjoyed the rivalry of one another within pop culture events. NHL, MLB, NBA and the Olympics. The cringey-ness of a Justin Bieber and Celine versus New Kids on the Block and the Backstreet Boys. This is a habit for both of our peoples for over 100 years. No other two countries in the world in HISTORY has enjoyed a friendship THIS open. EVER. Before Sept. 11, and Americans and Canadians crossed each other's borders like we were walking into our best friends kitchen without asking and taking whatever we saw in the fridge to eat. And that is quite literally how it was. To other Canadians. Its maple maga. Phoque those a$$%oles I do not blame any Canadian for wanting that former relationship to continue. And I certainly do not blame them for crossing the border now. I DO say what the phoque angrily???!!! But I also understand it. I am one of those Canadians where my love for the US has left. Will it come back? The US and its people have to earn my respect again for my love to come back. What and how and when will THAT happen? Figure out your shyte first. That is step one. But yeah, if a Canadian crossing the border gets phoqued because the unstableness that is the US and I certainly wont feel bad. Phoque any of them as hard as any phoquing American is what I say... Will I be opposed for our Canadian government spending hard earned Canadian tax payer money to bail them out? Well no I wont be opposed. Wishing though that the help would be prolonged... But Id rather have Carney spend tax payer money on going to hockey games (in Canada) cheering on Canadian teams rather than having Canadians crossing the border though...

mega christians... are not Christian. The phoque is a mega christian anyway? Fake religion. Fake and evil people is what that is. This guy says that he has no use for Christianity. Well, THAT is NOT Christianity... mega christians are just evil people masquerading as humans beings. THIS is why I HATE when these fake religions call themselves Christians when they are clearly NOT Christian. It is not right when LEGIT Christian faiths get clumped in with this bullshyte. Nobody that advocates hate is Christian. There are some that will point the finger at me for wishing death on poor ole Charlie. The Christian faith does actually allow me to defend myself and defend my faith. And if violence is indeed inevitable, Christianity DOES allow for self defense. Yeah yeah...turn the other cheek, but no. Pappaflessas Athanasios Diakos Palaion Patron Germanos Charlie Kirk was a threat to humanity. I did not wish him death, but I do not oppose him dying the way he did. And while he was still breathing, I was not opposed of his breathing to stop. I wasnt the one to end his life. Wishing for his death could be debated, but the two are quite different from each other but like I said, taking away evil from ANY means necessary is not frowned upon in the Greek Orthodox religion. And anybody wanting to debate that is just an ignorant phoque... The gentleman in the video is saying for these evil phoques to stop using hate in the name of Christianity because THEY are the single most threat to Christianity. THIS would be MY opinion as well. As I have stated, legit religions should NOT be bunched up with this bullshyte. Karoline lies...wearing the cross he says in disgust...the way she talks with hate...wearing that cross...etc...he says THAT is what TEACHES the world about Christianity. But even the gentleman fails to say that SHE is not Christian. She does NOT represent Christianity as the religion she mentions is NOT a real religion but a tool to fool people so she can continue to enable evil doers. SHE is an evil doer herself . Nope...she is NOT a Christian. Mike Johnson too. God does not speak to him as the gentleman says. Evil speaks to him. Ill repeat, this religion they talk about is NOT a religion. Its just snake oil salesman enterprises selling snake oil to idiotic Americans. In speaking with religious lingo, they are evil doers and these American morons have let the Devil into their lives. These people ARE NOT Christians. These two folk that commented on his video have got it. Ill tweak the first comment. The folk that preach what they preach as mega christians and evangelicalism do NOT preach Christianity. They preach the Devil's work. But mega christians and evangelicals are NOT a legit religion. It is fake.

This area will be smallish. I already have 76 other scale 1/18 cars on display on one part of the room. This is the 77th. I thought I was finished collected these mothereffers. I had even downsized from 100 something not too long ago. Well, a decade ago plus. I have a little corner that begs to be filled with something. The rest of the room and I has a TV with the various obligated accessories such as a DVD player that is 20 years old. Still works perfectly. A Blue Ray now slightly more than a decade old. A 5.1 surround sound unit. A couple of big Greek statues on another part of that room. Hermes and Nike. Various Ancient Greek vases, fake of course, souvenirs from when my parents visited Greece, my mom when she took me back to see Greece several times. Little statues such as Athena and Poseidon. So there is one small part where its not bare. But it is bland. I just got a picture of the Montreal Expos with 4 of their players. And a wooden Dallas Cowboys plaque. The Dallas Cowboys shyte thing is already out and in the garbage. Phoque Dallas. Phoque maga. Phoque Trump. Elbows Up!!! Anyway, The Montreal Expos picture will gladly welcome a little shrine to the Habs. Ill fill it up with that Ferrari. Some cool Canada things. Montreal things. It will be an interesting journey to fill it up with Montreal/Canada pride stuff.

Im working on a Montreal and Canada themed area in my man cave. Im starting it off with the Canadiens. My post of the Ferrari/Habs comparison in the beautiful cars thread inspired me. NO products from the usa will be bought or used. China however is very acceptable. The Ferrari is from Bburago scale 1/18. Made in China. Owned by Chinese company May Cheong Group.

Bruce even sang about how shytty your country is Green Day too Americans that are ashamed of being American. Rightfully so. The usa is a shytehole country.

Im glad to know that you actually HAVE the time to read my posts about how shytty your country is!!! And...the shyttyness of your country is real. Phoque you Phooque the usa

Yeah. Yourself Vanity is a sin. @ccap I am enjoying showing the world how shytty the USofA is. How shytty is it? REALLLY SHYTYY!!!

@ccap41 Comedian. Comedy gold. But not a joke. Reality. America is a shytehole country. And this was said BEFORE Trump's era. Phoque the US!!!

Doesnt surprise me. Americans are too dumb to read anyway. You as in you personally, are too dumb to understand anything anyway. Phoque you Phoque your country. Phoque the US!!!

@ccap41 Your healthcare and insurance? Does this guy explain it properly? Yeah...your country is shyte, bruv.

@ccap41 One good thing that will inevitable come from your shytehole country is that if history rhymes/repeats itself, 1. fascism was defeated in 1945 and muscle cars were the eventual outcome 2. the music was great from the 1950s-1980s. Especially in the 1960s when your shytehole country became shytty and protest songs came about. Protest songs against the US in any era are some of the greatest music ever produced. I love it when protest songs against the US highlight in their lyrics the shyttyness of the US for all to hear and see. Great stuff!!!

@ccap41 More shyttyness from your phoquing shythole country. Its a worse warzone and lawlessness than a drug cartel country. You phoquing idiot. Your country is failing hard. The US is such a shytehole!

@ccap41 Hopefully now, you get to see how shytty your country has become. Turn a blind eye to it. Its your choice. But like I said, you really dont love your country if you dont see how shytty it has become... Phoque you. Phoque Trump Phoque your country. Phoque the USA!!!

(Photo: Etienne Laurent/AFP via Getty Images) Is the US on the Path to Becoming a Failed State? The deliberate undermining of democratic norms and the conflation of personal power with national interest are consistent with patterns seen in states that have tipped into authoritarian rule. Jesse Mackinnon Jun 09, 2025Common Dreams The United States has entered a phase that resembles the early stages of state failure. What once seemed impossible in a country with vast resources and robust democratic traditions now appears increasingly plausible. The signs are evident. A government that has turned inward and become both self-protective and vindictive. An economy that is straining under a combination of political hubris and international estrangement. A population facing widening inequality and the fraying of social bonds. Historical examples of state collapse reveal that such trajectories, once set in motion, become difficult to reverse. For centrist Democrats who have long believed in the resilience of American institutions, it is essential to understand the historical precedents and the structural forces at play. RECOMMENDED... ‘Peace’ Has No Meaning When Right-Wingers Like Maria Corina Machado Win the Nobel Prize Charlie Kirk’s Toxic Legacy of Hatred and Division State failure is not typically marked by a single event. It is a process that begins with the corrosion of political legitimacy and ends in the disintegration of central authority. In the United States, this erosion of legitimacy can be seen in the deliberate politicization of the civil service and the Justice Department, the relentless attacks on the press and civil society, and the hollowing out of regulatory agencies through mass firings and loyalty tests. Historical parallels can be found in the final years of the Roman Republic, where the Senate’s inability to manage domestic discontent and external pressures created a vacuum for strongmen like Julius Caesar to exploit. In a more modern example, Weimar Germany’s democratic institutions were systematically undermined by the combined effects of economic crisis and political extremism, leading to the Nazi seizure of power. The United States has survived grave challenges before, but its survival has always depended on a functioning state that could reconcile competing interests and adapt to new circumstances. Today, that state is being systematically dismantled. Economically, the United States is facing a self-inflicted crisis. The decision to impose sweeping tariffs on allies and adversaries alike has triggered a trade war that has cut the country off from vital imports and provoked retaliatory measures. The stock market crash of 2025 is a direct consequence of these policies. Historically, protectionism in the face of global integration has often led to economic collapse. Argentina in the 1940s under Juan Perón embraced similar trade isolation and industrial autarky, leading to decades of stagnation. The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act in 1930, though a different context, was a catalyst for the downward spiral of the global economy in the Great Depression.

This is a hallmark of states on the brink of collapse. The administration’s decision to conduct loyalty tests for federal employees, to dismiss or sideline those deemed “insufficiently loyal,” and to demand public fealty to the president’s personal narrative mirrors the tactics employed by autocratic regimes throughout history. In the final years of the Soviet Union, a similar pattern emerged: The KGB was weaponized to target internal dissent as the economy faltered and the central government lost its grip on reality. Domestically, the climate is one of deepening polarization and mounting distrust. The forced departure of civil servants, the targeting of universities and independent journalists, and the use of the Justice Department as an instrument of political retribution have weakened the structures that once mediated conflict and enabled compromise. In 1970s Chile, President Salvador Allende’s government was destabilized by economic sabotage and political violence. While the American situation is not identical, the deliberate undermining of democratic norms and the conflation of personal power with national interest are consistent with patterns seen in states that have tipped into authoritarian rule. Internationally, the administration’s decision to pursue annexationist policies—expressed in rhetorical claims to Canada and Greenland and actual negotiations over resource extraction in Ukraine—has isolated the United States from its historical allies and weakened its standing in the world. Such expansionist fantasies do not typically succeed in a world defined by interdependence. They more often result in international sanctions, economic isolation, and domestic overreach. This was the fate of Benito Mussolini’s Italy when it attempted to carve out an empire in North Africa, only to find itself diplomatically and economically encircled. The cumulative effect of these policies is a government that no longer serves as an impartial arbiter of competing interests but as a factional tool of the leader and his inner circle. The normal functions of governance—delivering basic services, maintaining order, managing foreign policy—are subsumed under the political imperative of loyalty and control. This is the point at which states enter the final stage of failure. In 1990s Yugoslavia, the central government’s failure to mediate ethnic and regional disputes led directly to the violent fragmentation of the state. In the American context, this dynamic is playing out along lines of political affiliation, class, and race. The militarization of border policy, the collective punishment of protest movements, and the repeated targeting of minority communities reveal a state that is no longer willing or able to accommodate the diversity of its population. The question of when collapse occurs is not easily answered. Historical examples show that once a state has entered the spiral of delegitimization, economic contraction, and political repression, collapse can follow within a few years. The Soviet Union’s dissolution took less than three years from the final economic crisis of 1988 to the official end in 1991. Yugoslavia’s collapse began with constitutional disputes in the late 1980s and culminated in violent disintegration by the early 1990s. The timeline for collapse in the United States is likely to be similarly short if current trends continue. The economy, already battered by tariffs and retaliatory measures, will see further contraction as foreign investment dries up and domestic confidence evaporates. Political violence, already simmering, will become more organized as the state’s capacity to maintain a monopoly on violence wanes. For those who have long believed that the American system is immune to these forces, it is time to reconsider that assumption. The United States has survived grave challenges before, but its survival has always depended on a functioning state that could reconcile competing interests and adapt to new circumstances. Today, that state is being systematically dismantled. The institutions that once checked presidential power are being turned into instruments of that power. The economy, once buoyed by global integration, is being sacrificed to nationalist fantasies. The courts and the press, once the guardians of democratic accountability, are being brought to heel or driven into irrelevance. There is still room to change course. Historically, states have a narrow window to reverse the downward spiral once it begins. In some cases, a determined opposition or a political realignment can restore legitimacy and rebuild the social contract. In others, collapse proceeds until the state is no longer recognizable and must be rebuilt from the rubble. The examples of Spain in the 1930s, where collapse was narrowly averted but civil war followed, and of Greece in the 1940s, where foreign intervention postponed state failure, show that external shocks and internal realignments can interrupt the cycle of collapse, though at a high human cost. What lies ahead for the United States is not yet written in stone. But the pattern is clear and the examples from history are stark. State failure is not a single moment but a cascade of failures that begins with the corruption of political institutions and ends with the disintegration of social order. The evidence is already present in the hollowing out of the federal government, the weaponization of law enforcement, the trade isolation, and the embrace of expansionist policies that have no place in the modern world. If these trends are not reversed, the United States will become another entry in the long history of states that lost their way and collapsed under the weight of their own contradictions.

Oh. I know. But seeing that your country you need insurance for health care and in your country your president has cut medicade, you probably need the help. We help people. We dont let people suffer. I suggest you take care of your country before you have eyes on mine. Your country has to survive a civil war... And as luck will have it... Canada actually DOES have a king. Legit.
