Thanks! And in fairness I thought I only had 10 minutes to speak (because there was another speaker). Then 2 seconds before, they told me I had 30. So if they're wondering why the break was early...

BTW, not to be maudlin, I barely follow hockey, so I only know McDavid from that little kid Ben, whose family posted his cancer battle on Twitter. He had all those videos his family would put up. I don't know for me, I hear one, I always think of the other. globalnews.ca/news/9052950...

Meanwhile everyone’s always kissing firefighters’ butts. When’s the last time a firefighter ever offered you a warm towel, or winked and gave you the whole can of diet coke?

It's not a "job" if you're doing what you love.

Are they saying that approvingly, or are they saying it to get out of sit ups?

It’s centred around ‘Big Balls’, who it turns out is a Canadian illegal immigrant who, one day, just wanted to see a SpaceX rocket launch—but then through a serious of hilarious accidents finds himself in the thick of the American Dark Enlightenment.

It’s for a group run by an American who doesn’t even live in Alberta. It’s naked foreign interference. (Btw the site is by a corp with no web presence.)

Posturing—where we can make no difference, other than to alienate a market we need—seems like a luxury this country no longer has.

I’m not talking about the people on the ship—but the people who ordered them there. Picking fights with China isn’t in our national interest and we should stop helping the Americans do it.

I tried that once. The person I let use it, ended up stealing the account. Be very careful.

By definition, I think. But that article is about locals working in their own self-interest. And these people next to Vancouver, can't even do that, and they're supposedly Democrats too.

And the work isn't that hard. 98% of FN leaders are elected. The FN population skews right - it's easy to work there. You just need to come to the table with something, be open to making small modifications to projects and most will go through in a week.

Or... work with us in a new way, so we can fast track development, bridge the Native-non-Native GDP gap (boosting Canadian GDP by 1.5%), and save the country together. You can have a win-win, or not. Our first choice is Canada.

I tried to explain in a Star OpEd and in this short story something that has been repeated by many other FN people. We are not the weak party right now, you are. Push us, and we have the power, like never before, to destroy your country. rjago.substack.com/p/unceded
