Some would argue the Cajun are the Quebecois who were unwilling to submit to British rule.

My riding is pretty solidly Conservative. I don't think it has been anything else in its various incarnations since WWII. All I expect to get this time around is a protest vote, but I will be making my voice heard with it, and I will be telling them how they are failing us as Canadian citizens by sticking with FPTP when there are much more democratic options available.

That feeling when LLM matches your worldview.

Also, this. (Not LLM, but still beautifully disturbing.)

The attitude hasn't changed, though. "I know better than anyone else, and we should all do it my way, even if this topic has no bearing whatsoever on my day-to-day life."

Also, his political career started within a couple years of this essay. I haven't heard of a single piece of evidence for him trying to make this happen, before or after he was elected, not even a petition. So even though people can change, there's no evidence he agreed with this opinion as soon as it could apply to him.

There are plenty of examples to show otherwise. There's an English comedian who has made that his whole schtick. But context and role are important. I'm guessing neither of those are relevant to this situation.

If you haven't seen her other posts, I'd jump on her profile and read it. There are 7 more of these out there!

As a Voyager user, the image load takes a looong time, but everything scrolls smoothly (except for the text jumping as images load).

If you think that's prefab, I question your knowledge of construction, or at least what comes in a prefab kit. For reference, here is a link I found after seconds of searching. Note the information for interior and exterior walls - there are pre-made slabs which are ready to put in place. No pallets of studs and plywood required. Yes, the roof is still clad on site for a number of obvious reasons, but the comparison of prefab to stud length dimensional lumber is laughable.

I'll grant you that. I wasn't listening to much international news at that time, so I only heard about it when he started campaigning.

That's because lawyers are generally pretty smart, and they can tell when they have a sure thing.

Since 2005? A little prescient, but he did make sure everyone knew what mattered to him in 2001, so I'll accept it.

FYI, in at least parts of Canada, a vehicle can be jointly owned by spouses.
