I’m used to y’all fixating on how we pronounce “sorry” and “about” but apparently CanCon TV breaking containment is exposing you to shocking & previously unknown features of Canadian dialects.

You end up with, for example, USA and Canada Olympic team captains marrying each other. (Chu-Ouillette) or a college goalie tandem getting married (maschmeyer) or a married couple on the same team celebrating a win on the ice (m-p poulin).

I'll also point out that most of the plot and character concepts come directly out of women's hockey. This isn't some impossible thing being dreamed up by weird queers. It's just fun stories about what could happen if the ~10% of queer people in any given situation aren't subjugated.

A truly terrible development, for everyone. Things will not be ok in this country until liberal conservatism returns, but by God there isn't much sign of that.

Another one! This is St. Pierre et Miquelon. Population: 5819.
It now has one of the world’s highest tariffs - 99%. The US imported only $3.5M of its shellfish last yr. BUT the island imports ZERO from the US.
So, the idiotic White House formula (imports v exports) couldn’t cope. It spat out 99%.

Ultimately it matters not if your constitution is written or unwritten or codified or uncodified…
…once those in power do not recognise political or legal rules higher than their own personal or partisan advantage it is constitutional ‘game over’.
