Nah, screw that guy! Don't quote me. View quoted note →

So wild to see leaderz of so called freedom minded, democratic countries talk about what should happen to another country. Greenland's future should be decided by the people if Greenland alone. Just as Alberta's future should be decided by Albertans. Just as you should do you.

What are the odds of seeing a 1st Gen 4runner AND a 1st Gen Pathfinder on the same wintry day in cava 3 (let alone anywhere that's not a cars and coffee meetup)?

Canada (well, Supreme Leader Mark Carney, anyways) cozies up to China and the Big Red Lib Machine is in action with talking pints repeated like: - China is a more stable trading partner And - Tesla is jumping on those EV allotments Which is hilarious because: - "stability" comes from authoritarian central planning. And - just a few months ago these same Libs were slashing "Elon's" tires. (Oh, and Carney also went all in with Qatar because reasons).

I've been reading "The Mandibles" and thoroughly enjoying it. Surely you won't get the depth of the horror without background understanding of the economics... And since most of us here on NOSTR are familiar with such it's all the more horrible and frightening. And maybe that why I love the dystopian genre; they're all horror tales. This specific passage early in the book feels like a magician revealing their secrets: "Plots set in the future are about what people fear in the present."

So almost 4 years ago the convoy rolled through Ottawa. And almost 4 years ago a corrupt and pansy totalitarian showed his nature by running away before getting his minion Chrystia Freeland to freeze bank accounts while ordering police to stomp on protestors. Trudeau is now "dating" some flailing pop star who got her ass handed to her by Taylor Swift. Freeland is running off to launder money for Zelensky. mendocino (who wanted tanks) is a talking head on news opinion round tables and is considering running for Ontario Provincial Leadership. They all got away with it. The courts found their act "unjustifiable". The corrupt government appealed. the appeals court, today, found their act "unjustifiable". And who urged the Libs to do the emergencies act? F'n Commie Mark Carney. And they all get away with it.

So... Our communist leader Dear Mark Carney has a "New World Order" with China. Canada doesn't want this but communists do what communists do. Oh, and he's going to allow Chinese spy machines (their EVs) into Canada. People complain that China will spy on them. Little do they know that Tesla is already spying on them, collecting massive data. Also, so did VW (they got busted years ago by white hat hackers who left the data unprotected) and Toyota. Which is why I just shop old ICE (Internal Combustion Engines) cars. Google and our phones already have enough data (unless you've ditched Android and avoided carplay/Android auto). I said years ago, and Elon Musk has made it no secret, that the "future of personal transport" will be subscription based and you "will own nothing and be happy". You will subscribe to a tier of auto service and call up an autonomous rideshare service to pick you up and drop you off. I was against any trucks (commercial) that tested autonomous as it will destroy jobs. Tesla or Volvo (Volvo trucks is not Chinese owned unlike Volvo cars) could own the whole industry with on demand 24/7/365 Just in Time pickup and delivery. The supply chain industry, from design, development, manufacturing, and shipping isn't "like horse drawn carriages" (estimated 5% impact) but employs over 40%(!) of the world with caveats that "maintenance jobs" would offset (but those could be automated eventually as well). So this rant isn't purely against China and Carney, (though, Fuck those elitist commie bastards!) But a warning of what's happening in Canada and what 2026 and forward is looking like. What's the plan? There's really only one solution and thank God we're early. #optout
