  • Well, my comments holds true: DOGE doesn’t exist as a state department, and billonaires don’t have any legal power.

    What DOGE is is a bunch of goons illegally tasked by the president to illegally gain control of lawful state departments and letting people without proper credential illegally access sensitive data to do who-knows-what without any oversight, and no pushback from the people’s elected representatives.

    My comment stated what could be legally done. The reality is that the corrupt POTUS and his puppetmasters went full illegal, so it doesn’t even apply anymore. In a normal world, Trump and Musk would be cooling off in jail right now charged with high treason. But for some reason, that’s not happening…

    I could see Trump trying a few sketchy things and getting immediate backlash from congress. I couldn’t see him staging a full-blown coup and meeting zero resistance. Could you see that one coming? I couldn’t.















  • Yeah it’s always been bilingual of course, but the relationships between the two communities seemed a lot more tense than they are now.

    Think of it back then as Belgium today between the French-speaking and Dutch-speaking regions, if you know anything about that country: sure it’s multiingual - mostly in the Dutch-speaking north and German-speaking east - but be careful in what language you open your trap in which part of the country because you might find yourself very poorly received, to say the least.

    I felt that in Canada in the beginning of the naughties when I visited Montreal: I wasn’t well received when I spoke English (sadly with a North American accent) and I wasn’t received any better when I switched to French with a French accent 🙂

    The Trudeau bit I watched earlier carried no such stupid undertone, which felt great.


  • I’m 55. And sorry about misspelling Trudeau, I’m not Canadian 🙂

    But I do know a few things about Canada because I happened to live in France during the second Quebec referendum - and France was all abuzz with this, like it mattered to the French for some reason - and also I lived in Toronto from 2002 to 2004.

    I’m still mildly interested in Canadian affairs because I really enjoyed my time there (and almost relocated there too) and now that Canada’s troublesome southern neighbor is being aggressive and stupid again, I’m paying closer attention. Hence my watching the entire Trudeau intervention earlier today.
