Canada@lemmy.ca•About one-third of Canadians say they're optimistic about the new year: survey
51·6 months agoSingh didn’t/doesn’t seem to me to be a megalomaniac, but Canadians are more racist, particularly against Indians, than they let on.
But yes, if they get a white male boomer—preferably a WASP—as leader then their chances will be far better.
No women leaders, though: the Mexicans elected a woman as president, but Mexicans seem to be different than Anglo-Americans and Anglo-Canadians (and probably Franco-Canadians too).

74·6 months agosome thoughts:
.1. It would mean fewer Conservatives in Parliament.
.2. For those Canadians who want to become American citizens, they could move to Alberta. Indeed, Canada could invite millions of Latin Americans to become citizens of Canada, and then they go to Alberta, and when Albertans becomes American citizens, so might they.
.3. Alberta is nothing without fossil fuels; it’s a shit province without oil and gas: I suspect this is what many conservatives believe.
- A clique of Maple MAGAts take over the Albertan government, and declare independence. They might have a bogus referendum which they win. Trump’s America recognizes it, perhaps immediately, or perhaps after a while of helping it.
If we environmentalists, or those at least a bit environmentally minded, are correct, global warming will get worse; electrification and wind and solar power will increase. No unemployment benefits or farm aid to you Albertan ingrates.
Also, if the progressives took over the US, Congress would have only 2 Albertan senators and maybe 6 Representatives to counter them.
.5. Texas was a Republic for almost 10 years before it joined the US. Vermont, IIRC, was a republic for ≥14 years. If Alberta joins, say, within 4 years, they might be ribbed by Americans for that.
.6. BC could still be connected through the NWT. Planes can fly north of it. If McDonald could have a railroad built in (IIUC) the 19th century, Canada could build one in the 21st. We also have the Northwest Passage.
(If BC joining Canada was only going to happen if a railroad was built, they might insist on a new one being built, and we might as well have freight lines, passenger lines, high-speed, a highway, and maybe others.)

Ban PitBulls@lemmy.ca•Orillia pit bull owner charged after multiple attacks (VIDEO)English
2·9 months agoWhat would have happened if someone killed the dog when it was attacking?
It’s not human.
The defense would be self-defense, or defense of property.
If arrested perhaps wt:thon could get a legal fund started.
