A live chicken costing only 10 dollars after a massive purge of the stock is pretty suspect and selling a horse for 9k is freaking huge profit margins (average horse is 1k not 9k).

Never mind the obvious retort that a single transaction between two neighbours does not accurately describe the full trade between two nations which is where a trade deficit actually matters as this dictates a general transfer of wealth and prosperity; this smug dude is ripping off his neighbour and calling the deal fair. Even without tarrifs this example demonstrates that this trade is unfair and his neighbour is being abused as badly as the US is. You justify tarrifs with this example because one dude is buying at margins the other is profiteering.

From 2014 onwards? Titanfall 1 and 2, far cry 4, mgs 5, doom 2016, Prey, super Mario games, and yeah that's about it with zero taint in it.

How can an animal not known for forming societies or groups who only want to not be stepped on be socialist? Though tbf garter snakes are one of the few species known to form social groups so they are definitely a socialist threat but the other types of snakes are incapable of socialism.

There hasn't been a non internal vote for him so yes he is unelected since people did not vote lib knowing that Carney would be PM. Sure we don't get to vote directly the PM but the party's intended PM heavily affects the voting.

Australia had tarrifs on US goods. They're not high but they are there.

"As Australia generally has low tariffs on US goods (often under 5%),"

Given that this will render the child sterile is this not a form of euthanasia via eugenics? The procedure will lower quality of life and has a high rate of causing enough psychological damage to induce suicide.

Tbf it's Canada. You are lucky if you actually have friends given how poor the social life is in most of the country. When COVID hit almost every social events place went belly up because they were already doing poorly and barely clinging on. There's just something about the lack of cultural identity that has torpedoed social cohesion

Yeah it ends with people being happy, less wars, less people being sterile, less dead ends on family bloodlines and people actually being safe.

But we can't have that because then we can't let foreigners embezzle money.

One bullet might not be enough to kill the traitor. The point is that you feel the traitor is worse.

It's also deeply hilarious because the average Canadian blames high grocery prices on corporate greed which is somewhat true but ignores the fact that the Canadian economy consists almost entirely of one or two corporations running the entire industry leading to lack of competition and high prices. This team Canada nonsense is only fueling the monopolies and doing absolutely nothing to improve economic conditions or industries in Canada.

Same story with the Vets. People (and pets) are dying in waiting lines.

Best part is she basically faked a bomb threat and still hasn't faced any consequences for it (Yeah it could be one of her followers but its highly unlikely and its clear Anita benefited the most from that).

Canadians are more subtle about it and most people are silent or unable to be heard. Morons in Canada still think the freedom convoy is a terrorist movement because they couldn't stand horns being honked over bodily integrity and government overreach. UK is more overt and barely hides the commodification of the human body.

Keep in mind we have been importing sub 70 average IQ people by 500k every year for the last decade. We have a sub 70 IQ government trying to handle sub 70 IQ problems with sub 70 IQ solutions. It shouldn't be surprising we get extremely dumb observations and accusations as well. All this screaming about Trump even when the tariffs from the US haven't even started yet while we screw ourselves by starting our own tariffs well in advance and locking in on the stupidity (Tarrifs simply make the price of buying from a country more expensive, it doesn't magically make Canada richer).

Does it matter if Pierre Poilievre costs the conservative party the election? They still want to keep immigration the same way as all the other parties do. They still have the same economic policies as all the other parties do. They state they were against lockdowns and other curbing of freedoms that the liberal government did but they didn't do much or anything at all until after sentiment turned against lockdown policies. We are stuck in a deadlock between three parties all of which are fundamentally the same but offer different platitudes.

As for annexed Canada, no amount of economic policies is going to change the fact that Canada has had too many years of corruption and too few years growing any industry that might have made Canada a powerful country. We cannot fight and win against thousands of tanks with our 72. Or fight thousands of aircraft with our hundreds. Nor can we counter aircraft carriers, rocket artillery or even regular self-propelled artillery with our own because we don't have any.

Between the two Xmen though the console versions of TMNT were actually better than the arcades in most respects (especially the genesis one).

While you didn't ask, I would recommend Alien vs predator and D&D as good beat em up games as they actually include combo moves for each character.

Sociopaths and egotists are always looking for reasons to do generally unacceptable things but in a socially accepted context. Its why so many people decided to simp for covid laws and draconian measures despite how badly it screwed everyone over because it meant looking good even though they were doing evil. They're not losing their minds, its far more likely they only protect free speech because its socially accepted thing to do but really do want to just plain censor and report people to ruin their lives for the fun of it.

It's doubtful these people even care if they actually helped anyone. They got to hurt people and call them pedos (even though they most certainly aren't by any practical metric) and that's all that matters. There isn't going to be a single child actually helped by conflating child rights with anime characters many of whom display non-child like behavior.

If anything it'll be the like UK where children are routinely abused because discussion is routinely diverted (such as running wild with the claim that the rape gangs aren't real because one accuser listed 3 innocent men she didn't like while ignoring the several actual child rape gang members that she did list). It'll only actually increase the amount of child abuse occurring while limited actual police and civil response to it.

In addition the guy who married Hatsune Miku got completely screwed over lol. He married the program on a limited time 3D girl projector system which got turned off permanently a few months afterwards. Leave him alone, he is legitimately a victim of live service bullshit.

What's weird to me is how self defeating the meme is. The news report on the left is massively inaccurate to an obvious comical extent while the report on the right has absolutely nothing actually inaccurate with it.

So like what is the intended message "if you like the f35 defunding you are the same as those who lie about the ar15 to get it banned?". What about the f35 being prohibitively expensive and unnecessary is a lie?

Funnily enough, the voice actor change for Soldier 11 is only barely noticeable (slight different in pitch and tone) while Lycaon is a major change. These changes were basically inevitable though since having these characters unvoiced heavily damaged the game's story quality (nothing quite like the chapter 5 ending sequence where all the major parties introduced show up to rescue the main characters only to have like 3 of the characters actually be voiced)

I also don't quite get how what they did stops AI. If having characters be unvoiced damages the narrative impact of a given scene, it only incentivizes the use of AI to replace you so that the consumer gets the intended scene. Voluntarily doing this to yourself is dumb.

I get the impression with games like this that there's some serious astroturfing going on.

What's the Canadian excuse? MAID, got run over by a horse, system so corrupt the only party that will actually do something different (even the "conservative" Pollivere won't stop mass immigration) the PPC is not allowed to have airtime and can't run in Ontario and immigration is so high and native population so low that we've already been demographically replaced.

We were 30 mill in 2000s. We are 40 million now with 500000 officially coming in every year.

It's Canada, the country was literally founded on misappropriation of government tax grants to railway construction companies that funded Macdonald's election campaign. Macdonald was the first PM BTW. I don't think there's been any significant period in Canadian history that isn't filled with rampant corruption. We're basically the Ukraine of North America in terms of money laundering.
