Southern Moose

Decades ago you could camp down there. The hike back up that old trail wasn't fun, but it was worth it

It's almost like they WANT as many people to die as possible.

Anyone else spending less these days?

Since I'm trying to avoid Amazon and Walmart I'm re-thinking every purchase and deciding more often than not that I don't need it. I'm sure this is great for the economy.

I don't want to learn French, but this does tempt me

The very thing our Vice President was unable to do. Well done Mr. Carney and all of Canada!

Oh, these weren't Anglophones. They were very French speaking and made it clear that they don't usually align with the rest of the country.

A good reminder.

It's a shame AM radio is all but dead since it can receive with no power at all.

True, but apparently it's exactly the thing to do when fighting on skates. (My city has lost 2 NHL teams, so I'm no expert)

I was only a little surprised by the consistently fierce response. I have clients in Canada, and have spent a fair amount of time in Ontario over the last 5 years, so I wasn't super surprised by that.

But the Quebec piece spoke volumes in a way many Americans can't begin to grasp.

Just got off a cruise ship. Met tons of Canadians but only one couple from Quebec. They said this is the most United Canada has ever been

Met many Canadians while on a cruise the last two weeks. Things I heard:
-elbows up
-we're nice until we aren't
-he made a joke about 51st state, so I stopped talking to him
-we chose this cruise line because it isn't owned by Americans
-we're from Montreal, and Canada is united right now

April 9, 2025

Which, I suspect, is all part of the plan

The President of the United States of America posted this 15 minutes before the announcement of the tariff pause. This would be a straightforwardly criminal message, were the rule of law currently operational in the usual way, for those with insider knowledge of major market shifting policy news

My 21 year old and all of good friends speaks with more gravitas than the AG. And she and others in this administration love redefining words which sound bigly to make their case, even when they don't mean what they say they mean.

Dangerous Newspeak

Pure dictatorial actions

But doesn't that help them though? Either way it gets them out of the way of the current corrupt administration which doesn't want to be bothered by the whole legal process.

Seems to me the men we've got there now are richer than ever and care even less about the people on the streets, including vets. And they certainly aren't doing anything for the miners (or the minors on the island for that matter).

I wonder what that "Rich Men North of Richmond" singer thinks of what's going on in DC these days.

Of course this shit moved to Telegram

I grew up fundamentalist Christian where we were taught that absolute truth exists and is important.

But that same crowd has now embraced a movement which doesn't believe in truth at all. The current MAGA strategy is pure confusion and deceit.

It's terrible for the nation and for Christianity.

Love Moose Monday

Every Monday is Moose Monday

I didn't know which is the best part of this thread: burning the Nazi flags or gardening tips involving peeing on terrible books

DOGE appears to be the newest iteration of the secret police. Dictatorial regimes almost always have an organization like this.

So far this one appears to be directly focused on government employees, but I'm afraid it won't end there

Every news story seems to be worse than the one that came before

I was prepared for angry Trump taking retribution on anyone who opposed him before.

I didn't see the billionaire coup coming. The technofascists make the robber barons look like amateurs.

Yeah, by "here" I meant in my neck of the woods. Everyone else is going to get the CSA treatment

Yeah, I've heard that plenty. Nothing new here

Quakers file suit to stop ICE raids at churches like what happened Sunday One day after federal immigration agents arrested a man at a church in Georgia, a coalition of Quaker meetings filed suit in federal court to block the Department of Homeland Security raids at houses ...

This is infuriating. People are doing what the US government people have told them to do, but they're being arrested.
