    PP was all in with Trump and fElon, also… Until shit started going down in the US. He’s a traitor.

      Yea and the whole Trump “He’s not my kind of guy” thing screams like a lie to get Canadians to think Skippy isn’t affiliated with Trump. But Skippy meeting with the family that owns the largest chain of for-profit hospitals is what scares me the most. If he wins, he’ll push either an American system, or more likely a 2 tier system. Either way we get fucked.

      Ever read anything by Terry Brooks? He had a series of modern fantasy books where the world is basically ending, demons walk amongst us, that kinda thing. Anyway, servants of the void who “sold their soul” were known as Once-Men. As in they were human once, but not anymore. I always found that rather fitting…

          He’s one of my favorite authors; I’ll always recommend reading anything by Terry Brooks!

          Have you heard of the Shanarra series? There was a TV series some years back based on the books that aired on MTV. Plus just a whole bunch of books he wrote. Anyway, Shanarra is a fantasy setting in the general style of Tolkien, but with lots of cool unique twists. Anyway, in the books he hints that the world used to be a lot like ours, but then apocalyptic wars reawoke magic while science and technology of course were lost. Eventually he did write I think two trilogies that start in a near modern alternate Earth and describes the series of events that transform that start into the fantasy setting he’d established previously.

          Oh, and recently he apparently blew up the world of Shanarra for good! Like, on a cosmic scale the bad guys win I guess, so game over? I dunno I haven’t had a chance to read the last trilogy yet so no spoilers!

          If you’re new to the series, he recommends starting with Sword of Shanarra. But if you want to read in the order of chronological events, then you should start with Running with the Demon.

    And he shamelessly admits that the end goal is state managed slave labour…

    I didn’t expect that from Shapiro. I have plenty of criticisms of Shapiro but I did not expect him to threaten the former head of a foreign, Democratic Government, a long time ally. Is this real?

      Reset your expectations.

      Not only is this real, he also went on to say that the threat was only valid if PP didn’t win. This is public record and you can verify with a web search on multiple media outlets.

      This is who Danielle Smith pals around with at taxpayer expense.

      Sorry but isn’t this the inevitable result of the words and ideals he and other conservative flatulence mouthpieces keep off-gassing? Don’t words mean things, and don’t those things imply concrete action or intent? Maybe we should have been hearing the intent.

      Personally, I am Jack’s complete lack of surprise.

        I am wanting OP to post the source if they’re posting social media screenshots as the vast majority of people won’t verify the post. It’s also possible that a post gets deleted so providing a link lets folks use tools like way back machine to verify in the future. We should require this level of posts hygiene, especially during an election cycle. I’m trying to teach an OP to fish instead of just looking up the source for them.

        But to be clear, I am a dumbass for many other reasons.

        This isn’t helpful, my post was aimed at OP and calling them out for posting a social media screenshot post without a source. This is especially dangerous during an election.

        I cannot search x and don’t want to, but I searched this whole thread to find if someone verified the source. I appreciate him asking and you posting it both.

        Thanks for the link. Posting a screenshot without a source is lazy and dangerous. It’s unlike that the majority of folks that upvoted this post did any due diligence? It’s more likely that they upvoted because it matched their existing beliefs which just sets this community up for manipulation. We need to do better, especially during an election.

        I’m not trying to be lazy, I’m calling OP out for being lazy. And granted I did not articulate that well at all in my “Source?” comment, so you were right to question my motives 👍
