  • Governor Newsom should look to his own affairs first.

    I wonder, if we were threatening their sovereignty, openly and repeatedly, would they come visit us? No, they’d be losing their minds. I see California as one of the less outrageous parts of the US, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to suddenly give up my integrity and self-respect because they need my business.

    If you want Canadians to travel to the US, get rid of trump first. It’s not entirely a moral issue anyway, it’s genuinely dangerous for foreigners now. Why the hell would I risk my freedom? Because I feel sorry for their economy? No thanks.



  • Officially, Canada is an SI unit country. Canadians have a habit of using lbs and inches in everyday life, which is sad. I have been using only SI units for quite a few years now, but it definitely takes work.

    To answer the spirit of your question: yes, I have re-affirmed my commitment to using metric. I have been angry about imperial units for a long time, I’m just more angry now.


  • I would be enraged. I wouldn’t do anything except be enraged, because I’m a law-abiding person and spend a lot of effort remaining that way.

    I would want to react in certain ways, but it’s just not worth it.

    I’ve seen a couple of trucks recently on my commute with trump flags/signs. It makes me exceptionally angry. I have to concentrate hard on remaining calm. It’s a genuine challenge.
