Talk about doing organized labour wrong. Like any other good idea, it just takes opportunistic humans to eff it up.

Absolutely! Why would anyone get rid of bacon?

That was hilarious! The poor bastard who was ordered to photoshop the pink from my campaign photos has since identified himself and apologized profusely.

Yeah, we have rules around parliamentary language. Speaker calls folks out on that stuff. Also can't call someone a dick, and no props.
It does lead to creative language use. Can't say liar either. So we talk about someone "having a tenuous relationship with the truth."

Absolutely! Lot of frisking for weapons, too. Love shooting and eating wild game, but also huge believer in safe gun laws, especially around carrying, storage, number of them, and type. If someone says they hunt with an AR, either lying or doing it wrong, and probably shouldn't be near guns anyway.

Welcome! I was called the MLA without a filter by my own caucus in the early days! Useful for getting things done. When they were sure I wasn't going to drop f-bombs in the Chamber, cabinet posts followed.

You'd be welcome here and fit easily into Liberals or NDP. Elections cost less to run in, opening up candidate base, and aren't US scheduled marathons. Swearing loyalty to Crown is really to our rule of law. Has advantage of no royal involvement while preventing politicians from crowning themselves.

Would need to vet folks more there regarding our gun laws and that no one needs a gun to go to CVS, and in fact, it's illegal here. Or we could take a page from their beloved leader and just relocate all the MAGAs to Texas. Pretty sure, they wouldn't mind...

Never had that - will add it to my culinary to-do list!

That would be another bonus! Philly is where our Flin Flon boy Bobby Clarke made his name! Also thinking about the prospect of a Philly cheesesteak with a side of poutine and a nice Fin du Monde beer to wash it down. A coronary in waiting, but there's universal healthcare!

Exactly! And San Diego ComicCon, plus all of our actors wouldn't have to worry about green cards, visas, etc. My cousins in Santa Barbara wouldn't be asking if we have room for them here every time 💩🤡 opens his mouth. I'd move in with them instead!

Very East Edmonton! 🤣

I was thinking the same thing - also, why not just let folks rename it themselves. We don't have a certain person's hang-up with names - he's worse than a dog with a full bladder and fire hydrants.

No one would like that name, but it would be an interesting way of uniting people - and boy, was he in line with what Trump's doing. If we did that, we might as well just rename it after Tulsi Gabbard!

Malls are our worst decisions here. Don't let us take over malls. Portage Place will haunt Winnipeg forever!

His concession is "give us the assets you froze because we illegally invaded Ukraine - so we can fully colonize it."
On brand for a f'ing dictator. All the more reason for EU, Canada, and everyone else with a soul, to get every inch of Ukraine's territory back. Then spend that money rebuilding!

What, you don't want us to just take a sharpie and rename it Mall of Canada? 🤣 Isn't that standard protocol these days? Fiat by marker. No worries, we'd be choking on Sorries before we could ever do that!

And there's nothing like a good grève to get politicians back on track! Seeing LePen's Nazis on the streets, living with the National Guard at the train and metro stations daily, and the bombings of record stores and restaurants, all things N.American peers don't understand.

And we gladly welcome them! The Mall of America will, of course, be renamed. We'll ease folks into real beer, proper poutine, effective gun laws, and a reminder they're touques, not beanies.

Talk about petty and jealous, like a kid breaking other kids' toys: "Space is my thing, no one else is allowed to do space stuff."
