I'm counting on you to be chicken little while I'm gone. :p
Going to Spain and Portugal from the 25th to October 11. :)
Thumbs up! I've only been to Barcelona. I had so much fun.
Have fun!
Thanks! I'm going to be in Barcelona, Madrid, Granada, and Seville, and then over to Lisbon. :D
Those are the best weeks to go there, weather still beautiful, tourism season winding down, kids are back to school
You're going to love it!, be sure to eat a pastel de nata for me!
Yeah, I always try to go outside tourism seasons when I go on vacation.
Those look delish! I will make sure I have one in Portugal :)
LOL, I'm like the opposite. July holidays for me! Bring on the hoard!
Oh I'm jealous, never been to Portugal.
In Spain I've only been along Costa del Sol(Malaga, Marbella, Ronda, Gibraltar etc) and I went to Madrid for a few days as well.
Too hot, too crazy for me! Haha.
Nice. I'm not a super beachy person, so I tend to go to places that have museums, art, etc. All the big churches haha.
He called her a slave, my god
The audacity to cry about not having a platform and not even days later he's calling people slaves
Of course Scheer's party would throw bullshit like that around. Of couse they would... 😢
That's the same Conservative candidate that was in blackface in 2016.
... What the fuck even is this now. You got this landfill calling her a slave and calling who's she's talking to a slave. Wtf
Scheer trying to keep this scandal in the news is so stupidly politically unless you're just trying to shore up the Bernier crowd.
I can't wait for the scandal to backfire on him horribly.
Am I doing my math correctly? Liberal tax policy claims to lift 40k people "out of poverty" meaning just barely above the federal poverty line which according to the "Dimensions of Poverty Hub" (why is this the name of this website?) is $37,542.
They plan on doing this by gradually removing the 15% tax on the lowest current taxable $2,931. This would result in appx $16.91 extra per paycheque.
I spent more than $16.91 on cashews yesterday. And they're giving me the same amount extra per paycheque.
Please just tax me more and and improve benefits instead.

video
at 5:00 minutes, he's says he is for Province Rights (hmmm who will fight for the sole citizen in a sea of homogeneous majority rule? not the NDP)
at 5:30, the host challenges him if he will be able to work with Conservative Premiers like Kenney and Ford.
Signh answers:
*IMPORTANT TO ALL YOU UNILINGUALS*** on Pharmacare For ALL!!!!!!! IN FRENCH!!!!! (he's doing what I always accuse the NDP of doing is DOUBLE SPEAK)
* at 5:30, Singh says that he will talk to Premier FORD about talking about Pharmacare happen nd talk money with Premier Ford.
SO, Premier Ford gets the final say for Pharmacare in Ontario
*at 11:11 the Brownface question gets asked; Singh diplomatically answered that it's not about Trudeau but about POC who live through painful events. Trudeau's judgement gets questioned. The Co-Host jokes that maybe Trudeua learned his lesson to stop playing dress-up.
so overall, Singh answered well on climate change, Brownface, Trudeau, Maxime Bernier.
But, he parrotted the NDP Double Speak in French about PROVINCE RIGHTS and would piss off some Lefties on this board about his weak stance on PHARMACARE when it came to dealing with Premiers like FORD because Singh is now for PROVINCE RIGHTS
---
in comparison to Jack Layton's breakthrough interview on the same show that was a game changer in Quebec for the NDP setting off the Orange Wave in 2011,
Singh did the his best he could but failed to match up and live up to Jack Layton's high bar interview of 2011
---
*disclaimer*
I have a personal bias against any Federal Party that advocates for Province Rights, so I get easily irked by any mention of Province Rights.
Federal Parties should represent constituents, not Premiers.

stop buying cashews? they hella expensive nuts! lol
if that is a biweekly paycheque, that's an extra $400 a year. that's a month's worth of groceries or a good emergency fund start
but i thiiiiiink the tax cut is a smart move for low-income people who "hate taxes" to buy in, while i'm sure other social service benefits will be expanded too. a lot of people think benefits are abstract and only understand the dollar amount of take-home pay going up before feeling satisfied. it's really hard to change that kind of mentality unfortunately, which is why it's so hard to get a lot of universal social programs launched.
He's taken this position at least a week prior fwiw.
Your boy Trudeau is still being effusive in Bill 21 so yeah. :p
that's the best you got?
you guys go Pharmacare, Pharmacare, but now you get a taste of Double Speak of Province Rights oh I'm gonna talk to Ford
Singh in this interview said he won't do anything about Bill 21

I flipped through their Christian Citizen Guide for a fee minutes and found this:
Scheer is continuing in Harper's footsteps in establishing the Canadian Taliban in Parliament.
I would love to see some receipts if you still have them.
Cashews you say? Champagne taste, a true luxury like avocado toast. /s. Seriously though, all those conservative style promises of money in your pocket amounts to the same pittance. Crap rebates that make good sound bites but no real discernible difference to a family that lives at the poverty line. If solutions were as cheap as that it wouldn't be an issue in 2019. Government should provide more services instead.
i didn't say anything inflammatory, I stated the facts of what was said in the Singh interview IN FRENCH where he does double speak on Pharmacare and Province Rights when speaking French compared to his Rest of Canada message when speaking English
It just sounded so..... threatening.
Like when my FBI agent randomly texts me that he saw what I just did
lol
I'm just teasing gutter for saying a thing he said repeatedly said before. It's the same thing as saying "tell us how you really feel".
(Don't worry, gutter can take jokes as light as this, I'm sure)
LOL, regardless of English Canada, Canada wasn't founded by puritans, it was founded by Catholics. That's also why Canadians apologize all the damn time. Anyway even with that, the country has been very secular since well forever.
They are really trying hard to make this into the United States of Evangelicals aren't they?
It's super easy to get candidates when the moral and ethical bar couldn't be any lower unless you buried it.
Sweeping decriminalization efforts had a positive effect in Portugal, both in a major reduction in criminal justice workloads (saving your tax dollars to be much better spent) and some of the lowest drug-related death numbers in all of the EU, along with a 60% increase in people seeking addiction treatment.
EDIT: this provides insight into our country's drug struggle direct from Portugal's drug czar:

Sorry no. English Canada was founded by Protestants. Which is why the Irish were so persecuted, they were Catholics. The orange parades in Toronto every Sunday were just Protestants flexing on religious minorities.
Part of the Quebec act was to enshrine their right to observe their Catholic beliefs. English Canada was not Catholic
Same. Also I'm somewhat shocked they didn't use the proper abbreviation for Japan in JPN.
I said regardless of English Canada, not that English Canada was historically Catholic. I should've went into greater detail into my post but this is a video game board, and I already post long essays usually on here. I was talking about Canada as a whole especially (talking more Upper/Lower Canada historically). You can even see remnants of this in Ontario with the Secular / Catholic split for public schools in that province. No other place in the world even does that kind of thing. I don't know maybe Italy or maybe not.
Also we've had numerous Catholic Prime Ministers, compare that to the US who called it a breakthrough with JFK being their first Catholic POTUS, and Biden being the first Catholic VPOTUS.
We can talk a lot about the country being Anglocentric, but a lot of the Francophone history did spill into the country regardless (again referring to religious part but also in general).
And English Canada's Protestant faith was mostly of the Anglican Church of England. That is still different when compared to the US' various Puritanical and Evangelical roots.
The GBR is definitely a typo! It's a mystery for now as to it's relative position!
In terms of Japan. From the recent videos I have seen, attitudes towards immigration appears to have soften as shown in this video. (Anecdote)
I don't believe Japan is as old fashioned wrt immigration as they used to be. There will always be pockets of examples of the contrary, but most seem pragmatic with their population problem and are pretty open to foreigners. Unless you're Logan Paul. Fuck that guy.
edit: oops, that video is more on foreigners. Here's one on immigration. it kinda overlaps but whatever,
