What I believe the Bible says is not always right

Melchizedek is the Tom Bombadil of the Bible.

@RevZekveld This is a good book if you take his principles of applying values and apply them to different values than he does

@kps2014 @Vicar1973 Paul calls it a participation in the altar
“are not those who eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?”
“we proclaim the lords death until he comes.”
it suggests that we are proclaiming the promise (and our participation in it) until the fulfillment.

@redeemed_zoomer Some places don’t have jurisdiction. Western Canada was settled by a smorgasbord of denominations. This is a cool concept but not always practical.

@lutheranpeasant One issue we had is that we lacked Reformed Christianity.

The east was lesbiterian or weak Anglican loyalists, they founded a nation on not becoming American with no vision.

The west filled up with a smorgasbord of apolitical immigrants, mostly Mennonites/Lutherans/Catholics.

What frustrates me is the narrative — heavily promoted by liberals in both Canada and the US — that Canada was somehow this boundless reserve of goodwill for America before Trump. No. Anti-Americanism, blaming America, and smug righteousness at "not being America" is a defining problem with the psychology of this country, and Trump is just the latest excuse for indulging in it.

One of the big problems with Trump, in fact, is that he makes bog-standard Canadian anti-Americanism seem righteous and principled at a time when the future of Canada-US relations are actually at stake in very real, tangible ways that will have a tremendous impact on the Canadian economy, and thus Canadians' lives. In other words, Canadians are not dealing with a crisis in a clear-eyed or pragmatic way, we are just mashing the same old AMERICA BAD button we bash all the time, in every context, always.

If science class explained everything with Midwest emo music, we would have a lot more people paying attention.

Nuclear power explained.
It’s just a fancy way to heat water and make electricity.

If Canada wants to preserve its sovereignty as the American Empire embraces naked assertion of national interest unbound from international lawl, courting China is just about the most retarded thing you could do.

The theory behind this is that expanded trade with China will insulate the Canadian economy from US tariffs. This is stupid. China accounts for 4% of Canadian exports; the US accounts for around 70-75%. That all makes sense if you look at a map.

Canada doesn't have the port facilities to ship energy to China in any appreciable quantity. Canada isn't going to build those facilities in a timely fashion, not without walking all over the First Nations and the climate lunatics, both of whom Carney and his Liberal Party are enthusiastically beholden to. Even assuming we did build those facilities and start shipping oil to China in vast quantities, it would be the easiest thing in the world for the US Navy to interdict those tankers, and there would be precisely nothing the all but nonexistent Royal Canadian Navy could do about that but cry.

Meanwhile, Turbo-America is reasserting the Monroe Doctrine, specifically in order to eliminate Chinese influence from the Western hemisphere. Cozying up to Beijing at this point is a bad look, and really not worth whatever value we get from a few thousand shitty Chinese EVs no one wants.

The best strategy for Canada to preserve its sovereignty during this crisis is the same strategy that it has successfully used since the War of 1812: 1) be well-defended, 2) be friendly. There is no possibility of Canada actually winning a war with the US, but it IS possible to make such a war difficult enough that the blood isn't worth the prize. At the same time, if the country is a well-governed, cooperative, reliable ally, then there's no particular advantage to annexation.

Instead, Ottawa has settled on the most retarded of all possible strategies: being 1) defenceless and 2) belligerent. The Canadian Armed Forces is a joke, and while Carney has made noises about building them up again, this effort is sabotaged by DEI bullshit, and the modest increase in budget is nowhere near the tripling that would be required to match US Department of War spending on a per capita, GDP-adjusted basis. Especially when you're starting from way, way, WAY behind. Meanwhile, Ottawa takes every opportunity to antagonize the Yanks: courting foreign adversaries Washington wants out of the hemisphere; flooding the country with third-world biotrash; letting the real estate market be used as a massive money laundering scheme; winking at fentanyl labs; shrugging at foreign influence penetrating every level of government. The Trump administration looks at this mess, and concludes that 1) Canada would be very easily annexed and 2) the country is so poorly run that it would probably be more profitable to govern directly.

Oh and as all of this is going on the Laurentians lose no opportunity to remind anyone who will listen that Canada Is Built On Stolen Native Land, from which it follows that our official national position is that our sovereignty is completely illegitimate.

The country is in the hands of delusional traitorous clowns at precisely the worst possible historical moment, and to make it all the more absurd, they've successfully wrapped themselves in the flag to such a degree that any criticism of their suicidal policies is called unpatriotic Maple MAGA by the legions of trained clapping seals comprising the country's delirious overburden of CBC-addled baby boomers.

@DefiantBaptist If someone asks you on a date, you can still go on dates Kissing is a weird gold standard but not that far off. If you aren’t “courting,” you are both on the open field and you have no right over the other.

@RevZekveld @dhasbrouck29 What? Define your terms. Carney has said Canada is a European country and wants to become more global. His predecessor said Canada finds their identity in not being American. The left lacks a positive vision as the nation.
