Come to BC we have

The socialist party(panicking popularists)
The conservative party(identity crisis between fascists and conservatives)
The green party(socialists now I guess?)

Sure worked out great for the last administration, but it’d be very in keeping with these guys thinking they’re Built Different

is...is this actually A Thing? Yikes

Me in Seoul last year except I crash out when I see how inexpensive the bill was instead

but what if someone wants to go to St-Denis and cant go the single block to Jarry station? What then? (/s)

call it Canadian salt but it seems to me like Bill Guerin's brilliant roster construction was bringing Connor Hellebuyck so he could have the game of his life

the revisionist history about how it was actually smart to leave a bunch of the best American players at home is driving me a bit nuts

cannot believe I have to put up with not clowning on bill guerin for leaving caufield and robertson at home

we sure are trending up in terms of badness with remarkable speed though!

I still think the US' average badness is significantly better than China's as of 2/22/26 but the lack of acknowledgement that the outside world exists instead of being a shadow-puppetry backdrop for our own domestic culture wars and insecurities is perhaps our biggest weakness as a culture

Can someone please eli5 the whole baseload/peak thing because ofc the knock on renewables has always been that it’s very peaky

somehow yes

Unlike China who definitely cares a lot about the wellbeing of the Taiwanese people and will never screw them over

…I gotta ask is it just Han nationalism

I don’t wanna listen to all this what’s the tldr

…any idea as to why??

Hold on I thought this was the PRC which everyone says is better off despite xyz because it’s dynamic or whatever this is so so much worse

…how? Negative polarization from the centre against the left?

You go farther in the same amount of time = more efficient use of your labour costs and needing fewer vehicles to maintain the same frequency

...not really

idk if this is a joke but Trois-Rivieres, QC is a city of ~144k, on the St Lawrence between Montreal and Quebec City. It's one of the biggest cities in the province but obviously isn't exactly a global-scale city like MTL or have the political/cultural/historical cachet of QC

what strikes me is how *universal* it is. every game of every kind that gets some kind of expansion or update inevitably ends up dealing with power creep

if they run around aimlessly they're going to lose. at a certain point you gotta stand for something specific

well I guess it's another case of should they just try to chase public opinion or try to lead it

Wish I knew more about the actual economic facts of this because I’ve gotten tired of it, but also I don’t want to just negatively polarize myself esp if you’re trying to actually do politics

Extremely normal, we use “the Confederation” in a similar way to the way Americans say “the Union”

Wasn’t Bethmann Hollweg interested in eastward expansion or am I confusing him for other figures in the Wilhelmine government

The Sergei Witte, absolute classic

Trying to think of the France equivalent, maybe all of the various finance ministers who were like “guys were REALLY broke we can’t go on like this” who got fired because everyone else wanted somebody else to be the source of the necessary revenue

isn't she planning on going to Yasukuni and dredging up the Liancourt Rocks issue or am I misremembering

anyway I can understand that the JP side wanting to play nice with Seoul but I'm not sure what the appetite for the reverse is

Tbh though I understand why people in ie Korea look at this and say “well the Japanese electorate has no problem with RW nationalism, why should we trust them?” but also yeah it’s very easy to look at this as a westerner and wonder what *your* angle is on this

someone eli5 who the Morouns are please?
