Does this letter mean the DOJ, failing to understand hyperbole or metaphor, believes the fight is actually taking place in a bar?

Are you seriously ‘both sides-ing’ a hostile takeover of our sovereign nation?! WTF?!

...to have 3 players on Team Canada, with 2 of them being among the best players in the world, is an extraordinary achievement.

Nova Scotia has a population of roughly 1 million people. Alberta's pop. is 4.8 million, or nearly 5 times more than NS. If NS is represented on Team Canada by 3 players, Alberta - to be on par with NS - should be represented by 12 or 15 players. By any numerical measure, for NS...

Well, it's right up there with Canada's win over the U.S.S.R. at the height of the cold war in 1972 which included, among other things, Red Army soldiers seizing Team Canada agent Alan Eagleson during the final and deciding game and Canadian players and fans fighting them off.

Okay but, without the USDA, there's no one to regulate how many ppm of flies there can be in apple sause. So much for the GOP telling everyone that it's the woke lefties who want them to eat bugs.

Protest is not about "sending a message." It is about creating a crisis that those in power cannot ignore. Every successful movement follows three essential principles:
1. Clear, Non-Negotiable Demands
2. Escalating Pressure
3. Noncooperation: Stop Enabling the System

I didn't realize that "maresy dotes and dozey dotes and little lamsey divey" was actually "mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy" until I was, well, older than I should have been.

The best part is when they stick the needle full of novocain right into the soft tissue above the two front teeth. It opens a portal into the 8th circle of hell.

Do those Americans booing the Canadian anthem even understand why Canadians are booing the U.S. anthem these days?

They'd have to pay their fair share of taxes to subsidize anything.

Only 6 hours? They've obviously never played Risk if they're exhausted after a mere 6 hours.

That sounds more like dogma than political analysis, and it really falls short of understanding Canadian politics.

"Shitty Prime Ministers or not"? What the hell is that? Only maple MAGAs think Justin Trudeau has been a shitty PM.

I'll tell her you said so (although, just between us, she already thinks pretty highly of herself). You can't tell from the pic I posted but she looks a lot like your rascal.

However, democracies are typically slow to respond with the kind of changes in statecraft needed in a case like ours.

I don't think that's realistic since the EU's constitution wouldn't allow it. Besides, we are in NATO with the EU, and we have CETA - a free trade agreement - with them. We are also part of the 56-country British Commonwealth, so we're well positioned to get by without the U.S. as our ally.

From a Canadian perspective, we have to rethink: how we share intel with the U.S.; our "safe country" agreement; joint military exercises; and so on, on top of our boycott of U.S. goods and services.
