  • I read the speech. It is essentially trying to pretend this is all something new. It is not. It contains zero self reflection and instead strokes the same bullshit sovereignty and nationalism that has lead us here. Essentially it is a speech that ignores Canada’s part in the war on terror, participation in the MIC, and turning blind eye to human rights abuses.

    He lays it out for his capitalist colleagues. They have lowered taxes and it is time to capitalize while they still can. It is just another version of having your cake and eating it to. If this is what leadership looks like then that is why the wealthy are getting richer and richer in Canada.

    I do agree with a lot of what he said, but ultimately it just feels like a cop out over the most recent pissing match between wealthy elements in the US and Canada.



  • And the king decreed make that one a male and that one a female. The people cheered, he was going to fix this gender problem once and for all. Gender was no longer determined by silly things like genetics, feelings, or facts. Only he could bestow it upon the masses.

    At first people would bribe him for the privilege of a different sex. The corrupt king would pray on poor souls who didn’t fit in. Soon though, he realized his ultimate power. Humiliation.

    “You are no longer male”, he would scream at a general or diplomat. “You are whatever I say you are”, the king would croak through his curled cruel smile as they were hauled away for forced gender change surgery.
