Trump says a lot of things. I wish I could give them the same kind of attention that I did when all he was was a failed real estate mogul playboy.

…missing the word “change” at the end?

“We’re not going to take away your child and change the sex of your child… unless your child’s sex and gender don’t align with what we think they should be, in which case CPS will forcibly remove the child from that twisted family and enrol them in conversion therapy.”

‘stares down at’ — they missed a word.

Fadear Lake dam, located northeast of Kamloops, at risk of 'imminent failure,' says regional district

Crazy. Nobody knows who created the dam, it hasn’t been maintained, and the culverts are now clogged, leading to potentially more water behind the dam than it can resist.

Anyone want to transcribe what he said? I don’t watch social videos.

Why is it limited to short stays? Seems reasonable that any foreign national entering the borders should be required to sign up? Otherwise, what good is it?

Who exactly was required to submit age verification photos? Just US citizens?

Why? H-1B visas allow activity that is considered illegal in Canada, for good reason.

If a qualified person from another country wants to work in Canada, they should get the job at going rates with no strings outside the regular work visa requirements attached.

OK, why hasn’t this been blocked in court yet?

Trump tried to mobilize CANG in California, and it was stayed. He tried to mobilize ORNG in Oregon, it was stayed, with federalism specifically called out.

When he then tried to mobilize CANG in Oregon, the judge was not amused, and said the same stay order applied.

When he then attempted to mobilize the TXNG in Oregon, the judge modified their stay order to block Trump from deploying NG in Oregon, period, without the permission of the state.

So why is he getting away with TXNG in IL?

“Is there some way that fear of the United States can be used as a lever to get some of the things that the West needs to have addressed?”

I always find it frustrating how Alberta Conservatives continually act as if they speak for The West, totally ignoring the needs and desires of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, British Columbia and large swathes of Alberta.

Alberta Conservatives would NOT like how things would go if the things the majority of The West wanted addressed, were.

On the other hand, I’ve had two people ask me about the feature after being screened by it — they were very excited that such a thing was possible without subscribing to another provider service.
