Southern border invasion hypocrisy
We don’t want you.
Canada next PM in a couple of months is a mini trump/Vance…
Hmm, can’t exactly go south either. So…
This is fine.
It’s how I am feeling these days…
I hope enough Canadians with two braincells to put together will know better. An election is coming here soon, and Moneybags Musk is going to dump loads into bringing American foot-kissers into our Parliament.
McMAGA: Make Canada Make America Go Away.
I’m so sorry. It’s awful right now. Hunker down. We’ll get through this. You deserve better.
Appreciated. We all could do with a little better. In the meantime, we’ve got our escapism.
Y’know, after seeing all of these memes for so long… maybe I’ll actually try watching watch trek to get my mind off of things. Any recs on where to start??
You could also go the opposite direction like me. I just started watching The Man in the High Castle. It seemed topical after the inauguration.
Always a tough question. TOS, while dated, is the primer. I grew up as TNG was airing. It’s janky and problematic until about the 3rd season. DS9 is the best of the best as far as I’m concerned, but it’s a slow burn to build the characters and get to the meat of the arching story. Of course, there’s a chronological approach, however, kinda messy.
Try out one for a few episodes, see what strikes your fancy.
Watch the first two episodes of next generation. Then skip to season two. And enjoy
Really making me wish we could request asylum within the Federation.
I’ll be watching all 900 hours or so of Trek on a loop.
Sure all American refugees can settle in Nunavut. Locations to be reserved for the American savages by the government of Nunavut.
Americans will be expected to stay on these reserves and not mingle with local populations
If they’ll let me then I’ll just not leave the house. Now that I think about it Canadian prison actually seems like a great option for a shut-in american emigrant.
lol, Canada? you haven’t been following the news, have you?
Beginning to get the picture.
In all honesty, no. Not unless you’re a refugee, rich, or highly educated (especially MDs), and that first one has been closing over the past few years.
I’m curious, what about as someone with a Canadian spouse? I’m not married, but since my partner is Canadian that’ll likely be the case eventually, and it would be nice to both be citizens of the same country (and she’s not looking to become an American citizen so that’s irrelevant). Would it be somewhat viable in that scenario?
Rich is right
There’s a guy on TikTok and YouTube who regularly compares small to mid sized Canadian homes to literal European castles that cost less.
Might qualify for the 3rd. Not an MD, but have plenty of specialized training.
Even so, just a topical meme I cranked out. Work and family are here. Gonna make the best of it, no matter how much I have to drink and watch Star Trek.
Best of luck, hopefully this lunacy is over and done with in 4 years time.
I was born and raised in the wilderness … if I saw any of you guys wandering around my area, I’d invite you in to live with me. Just don’t mind the smell, the beaver castors I have drying or the forever stew on the stove. And it wouldn’t matter to me if you were Canadian, French Canadian (calais!), American, Chinese, Russian or even Irish, I’d still invite you in.
Mighty neighborly of ya, but my levels of familiarity are yet to drop quite to that position.
I can live without either … I grew up for about the first ten years of my life basically off the grid and learned how to hunt, trap, fish and gather my own food, water and build shelter and basically live on my own. By the time I was about 11 - 12, mom and dad were basically treating me like a working adult that could be tasked with lots of things. It was how they grew up and were taught. I thought it was just normal stuff until I got older and realized we live in a more modern world far removed from hunting and gathering.
Which is why I never really worry about losing the grid … or being removed from the grid … or in watching the grid fail.
That’s a truly rare perspective these days. Got a mild shade of “rustic living” as a Boy Scout some decades ago. Might not fare as well, but could certainly survive for a bit. The “be prepared” mantra keeps ringing in my head.
I think most people would be fine. We like to think that we couldn’t survive without modern conveniences but don’t forget, our recent ancestors did it for tens of thousands of years. In terms of a human species, we spent most if not all of our species existence for about 60,000 years living with nothing but our own intelligence. We’ve only had modern amenities and technology for less than a hundred years. So in terms of losing everything right now in our history … if that should happen … I think we’d be fine. Not happy, not comfortable, not easy but we’d be fine.
there’s not
Square metre maybe. Unless you’d like to join the tent encampments that have cropped up in the last decade. :/
Not an avenue where I’d hoped to have common ground, but here we are.
That’s a shitty flashlight
