This is news because it needs to be broadcast loud and clear to everyone. To fight fascism you need to document and report on everything they do. It needs to be spread far and wide so there's no misunderstanding of what's going on.

nobody knows what would happen then.

I know what should happen then. Riots. Protests in the streets. Mass civil disobedience. Anything else is handing them total control of the country.

No it's not. It's not too late to start resisting, but every day that ticks by makes it harder.

I'm sick of him strangling our healthcare system so he can introduce a private option.

And we need to kill that stupid $60bn "one more lane" tunnel under the 401 and invest in mass transit instead.

I'm still shocked the deal to let his developer friends build on the green belt didn't sink him completely. For a group of people who complain about Liberal scandals all the time they sure ignore his bullshit.

I only use wired controllers, however my system (Mint) doesn't acknowledge controller input as standard input, so the screen saver comes on in 20 minutes or my machine goes to sleep after an hour while I play. I haven't figured out how to stop it yet.

If they're gonna discriminate against immigrant job applicants, they need to start with Elon.

They have to protect Trump and the financial infrastructure?! Talk about a conflicted list of priorities.

Hi there. Canadian here. We're still a part of NATO.

Nature has rules, boundaries, and predetermined roles.

But that's just not true. There's no such thing as a predetermined role. That's the whole process of evolution. Nothing is predetermined. Things move and change, often in ways that seem nonsensical at first. For example, many species have switched back and forth between carnivory and herbivory throughout their ancient history. And even today many animals which we call herbivores will take advantage of a quick snack of meat. Both deer and horses have been observed doing this.

If you start with a false statement, of course you'll get a wacky conclusion.

It wouldn't be the first time the Catholic Church went along and supported fascism.

he lack of pushback from anyone else in power

The people are in power. The elected officials are there at your will. They only have power because you give it to them to work on your behalf. Now the time has come that they're not doing that. At all. The people need to reclaim that power and use it themselves. It's time for mass protests and marches and strikes.

The longer you wait the more rights you'll lose and the more difficult it will be.

 
 

What last name do you think is neat? It could sound cool, have an interesting meaning or history, etc.
