When you realize you have lost your democracy it is too late. Majority of Americans dont seem to realize or care that their democracy is under threat. They are too busy hating the other and monitoring who uses which bathroom.

In Canada, CBSA officers only conduct phone searches if they have concerns. That is a big point of difference. You are right in that US border agents have long had broad powers. In 2005, my good friend, a UK citizen, was detained and harassed for no reason at JFK for 10 hours before being...

I have second hand knowledge. One of my friends had his phone searched at the border when he recently drove to New York from Montreal.

I dont buy this idea that foreign visitors are coming to British Columbia for medical care and leaving without paying. The ministry statement says that emergency care is not denied. It does not say all care is not denied. If someone is indeed in an emergency, the legal framework in our country...

Don't be so sure about November. Americans have very short memories. They've already forgotten about the Epstein files and his earlier lies. The war could end in September and americans will forget about it and move on to the next distraction coming out of this white house. Personally, I dont...

Who was the prominant american that recently said " we used to bomb and invade countries for doing the type of shit that were now doing."

People don't understand that, differential treatment of people of colour has long existed in the US, long before Trump and maga. In the late and early 2010s I traveled a lot in the states for work. I can't tell you how many times I was "randomly" chosen for additional screening at the airport...

To do some rough numbers, 10% of Americans own 90% of the us stocks. That leaves about 7.5 trillion among 315 million americans. That's approximately $23500 per american that's not the top 10%. Their stock market is not an indicator of wealth of the common public. Its been used as a marketing...

Sometimes you meet a woman that is not the hottest, not the wildest,....not the most of anything, but she has just the right combinations of everything. This was a few years ago. I saw this SP several times. She was early 20s, cute, pretty girl next door type, just the right size of everything...

Lot of valid advice here. I will add one more thing. Even if she reciprocates your feelings, would you be ok with your girl sleeping with several other men? That alone would be a reason to walk away before feelings get too strong.

Insider trading isn't just immoral. It is illegal. Remember the Galleon group? Its founder Raj Rajaratnam went to jail for insider trading.

You want to save real tax payer money? Tax religious organizations and corporations. The money give to reservations is a tiny fraction in comparison. Its just an easy target and low hanging fruit that is used to distract from the real places where tax money is wasted. Also, its easy for the...

I have Iranian friends settled outside Iran, some for most of their lives. Some of them went to the rallies. They want change in Iran. But it is naive to think people like them want Iran to become a western style democracy. They want change that brings them closer to free western societies, but...

One tends to dislike the guy bombing you and threatening to wipe your civilization from existence, more than your government, no matter how bad it is. You can be against your current government, but once bombs start dropping on your head, the government is no longer the most pressing problem...
