More Bad News for Canadians

[woodsroad]

I don’t know anyone who’s been shot and I don’t know anyone who knows anyone who’s been shot, killed or not, so I feel pretty safe.

Now, I do know people who’ve been bitten by beavers, and who’ve choked on Poutine. So there’s that.

I just paid $100 all in duty charge for 8 oz. Still cheaper though

After getting dinged by customs on a mail order, is there an increased chance of being stopped when re-entering Canada from the US?

There's also Sasquatches up there.

Not rumor, either. Fact. One of the meanest ones is actually a pipe maker (!) and has been encountered repeatedly in the Canadisian sub-country of Alberta (famous for being where the real men live), about halfway between Calgary and Edmonton:







As for the non real men found in the other Candisian sub-countries, they are also scary, but for a whole different reason:

I have interests in several import/export schemes.

I was born in Red Deer, but I'm only part samsquanch on my father's side.

I just don't believe in Canadians. I'm pretty sure the whole idea of a Canada was a pyramid scheme for beer companies.

We have a Marxist/Lennonist party (Groucho/John, not commies lol).

Sooo, you don't think Groucho and John Lennon were commies? Wait, wait, that is just too political for this forum. Everyone can just resume their non-political discussions of elected Canadians.

The Rhino party wasn't communist itself, they were just mocking the actual Canadian communist parties. In many ways the Rhinoceros party were monarchists, they wanted the Queen to move to Quebec and wanted to make Britain a Canadian province.

I am not a fan of Lennon to say the least.

Says the guy who thinks expressing disdain for the corporate news media is an obvious political statement.

I'm glad to see you're waking up a little...better late than never (and I mean the real woke...not the Jacobin kind).

I'm up for that, where do I sign? You can have King Charlie, and his little bruv Andy. You might wanna keep an eye on Andy though.

Uh...wrong link there. Here's a link to the Marxist-Leninist Party of Canada's website.

The World Turned Upside Down.
At one time, the Communist Party had a large Jewish membership. My mother's mother, a immigrant from Poland (1905) was a Communist. Then they found out about how Jews were treated in the USSR. And how the USSR supported all of the countries attacking Israel in the '48, '67 and '72 wars. Of course, the commies are completely marginalized in North America, their votes and actions have zero impact. But still, it's weird for me to see just how much they hate Jews. And yet, there are Jews that still support them. Well, even the mentally ill are entitled to an opinion.

Large sums of the discontented vote against their own self interest…but trying to explain why they might wanna consider another way is like shining sunlight on a vampire . ️

"Some members of the Rhino party would call themselves Marxist-Lennonist, a parody of the factional split between the Communist Party of Canada and the Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist), although the Rhinoceros Party meant the term in reference to Groucho Marx and John Lennon.[14]
