Trump says he'll retaliate against the EU if Canada becomes a member.

I don't think people truly understand what's happening here, and Trump's way of articulating the situation isn't helping.

China, Canada and the EU are conspiring to strangle the United States economically. Canada doesn't even really belong in that group—really it's Mark Carney, but he is Canada's Prime Minister so now Canada is in that mix.

The globalists lost the economic war. They tried to win with neoliberalism (woke), then climate change, then Covid. They lost on all fronts. The American Empire proved to be too strong both culturally and economically. The American people responded to globalism by electing Donald Trump to a second term on an "America First" platform.

Whether or not you believe Trump held up the promises he made with his America First strategy doesn't matter. What does matter is that the United States could not be destroyed culturally and the USD maintained its power through a variety of attacks.

Mark Carney was parachuted into Canadian politics as a last ditch effort. He campaigned on an "elbows up" anti-Trump, anti-American message and Canadians took the bait.

Now the globalists are circling the US. They're attempting to starve them out. Canada is aligning itself with China and the EU as a bridge between the two. The central bankers believe the Chinese communo-fascist model is the future. The United States is the last big obstacle in the way of total global domination.

The sad part about this is most people are too stupid to see what's happening, and that's what's feeding the globalist machine. But what differentiates Canada from China and the EU is we are connected to the United States geographically. Ultimately this standoff will come down to a battle of economies and systems—and Canada will not win that war.

So in basic terms, Mark Carney is sacrificing Canada for a larger, globalist agenda, and Canadians are the perfect pawns in this strategy because they are inherently culturally naive to their place in the world and the world that exists outside of their island.

Carney, the Laurentian elites and the political class are intentionally drawing the United States into a fight, and in the end it's Canadians who will suffer the consequences.

@MarathonDevTeam Why I stopped playing - started off with so much hype around the "endgame" map and boss, everyone was grinding getting good at the game, loot rotations, preferred weapons. All of this knowing it would all have to be put to use in this very hyped up "hard endgame" map. We finally get to the release of Cryo and then we all quickly find out what it actually is. It is an impossibly hard RNG premade team mandatory loot vacuum with a boss that you not only haven't seen a key for, you haven't even met someone who knows someone who has the key for it. What was advertised as a 1% player type of endgame boss, Is actually a boss that you have to revolve you and 2 friends entire game based around for multiple weeks to even maybe see a key for it. Everyone loves to have something to chase, to work towards knowing you might not get it that day. That is not what Cryo Archive is, it is winning the lottery where you might not even get a chance to buy a ticket. After a single weekend of losing $1M of loot because I play strictly solo and every player was loading onto my team with zero knowledge, $5k of garbage loot to meet the minimum and would gun fight the first people they saw coupled with me seeing the streamer race to complete Cryo and learning that they played 500 plus matches just to get a one time use key, Cryo instantly became something unobtainable. You need to play with others with the same singular goal, now ignore all other aspects of the game and play purely for the boss, and STILL rely on RNG to go your way. In what world is that a game boss people want to grind towards? Oh and your reward for doing all that? You get a gun that is pretty good that you could lose instantly. I continued playing Marathon for a few weeks after Cryo released even though I knew I would never play it and had no intention of turning my Marathon experience into a quest for Cryo experience. What fully killed the game for me is just that though, is the knowledge of there being something I will never get, while still trying to play other parts of the game. I want to enjoy Outpost and open all the rooms and get all the loot, but then as I'm leaving I'm thinking, but what is this for now if im not ever gonna play Cryo? Ask that a few times while playing and all of a sudden you are playing a different game that has something you can actually work towards. Same thing happens in Ranked, why am I trying to climb the ranks when Ill never play Cryo? That is it, that is the answer. You made a map and boss so unimaginably hard while advertising it as a "very hard" map that you crushed the will for me to play your game. How many people did you actually think would be able to get to experience all of Cryo and the boss? I would say you would want a "very hard" boss to be able to be beaten by 1% of players right? To use generous reasonable numbers, if 2 million people played Marathon then 20,000 people should of been able to beat the endgame. How many individual people have actually beaten it? I would guess less than 500. That generous guess would mean it is beaten by 0.025% of players. Also do the math on how much money was spent on making all of this when in reality 500 people get to experience it. Imagine thinking this is ok? You can make it as hard as you want, as long as it isn't the main and only drive to get people to play the game. You built so much hype around the map, the boss, the wait, it was all so good and I was so involved. Then you made it so a busy Costco would hold more people then who would get to play it fully. You then did something with Solo Cryo and I had already moved on but was still following the socials and saw a post about Solo Cryo and the Compiler being killed 82 times. I immediately thought to myself, well im glad I didnt waste a single second of my time to open the game and try the Solo mode when they didn't do anything whatsoever about how noone can do it. 82 Compiler kills total for a Solo mode and your happy with that? You people are smiling looking at numbers like that? Whoever was and continues to make the decisions revolving Cryo and the Compiler are what killed the game for me, and probably most other people who may not have been able to articulate all of this or even realize that is what happened to their feeling of wanting to play your game. Real shame with all the potential, I couldn't stop playing the entire first month, but never had such a feeling of dissappointment game after game realizing just how insane the concept of Cryo and being able to complete it truly is. The game was built from the ground up with Cryo and boss in mind and that is obvious, so when you have no want for that, there is no want for the game or for any changes you propose besides a entire full reconceptualization of Cryo and how to complete it. The singular only way I would return to Marathon is with a guaranteed way for me to see and play against the Compiler. Not a small chance if im good and lucky, no you killed that. A GUARANTEED fight with Compiler and completion of all the vaults. I want to open the game knowing with certainty Im loading into Cryo and will fight the Compiler in X amount of games or im not opening it at all, thats it! Thanks for reading if you did.

@drewlevin Game ID 5641031648 11:30 The Leona rage used her spells, a minute later her flash and item, after Kalista pinged to sweep wards, genuinely confusing. What turns this into something egregious is Leona proceeded to rage bait typing to team that Kalista was refusing to play, and left the lane. Continued by saying its a shame the Kalista is refusing to play but not a big deal for him as he is using a smurf account. Remember none of that is true, the Kalista is currently 5 / 1 KD and is now solo in lane without a support and who is now completely trying to ruin the game for him. Taking buffs, no attempt to help Kalista endures for rest of game. Luckily Riot gave Kalista other teammates who led game to a Victory. Now this Leona will and would of gotten away with throwing a lane for no reason followed by a sincere full rage bait attempt using pure fiction with an added smurf brag. One of the most toxic things ive come across and player did it knowing he would go unpunished. Guranteed he does this all the time, please nuke him.

@drewlevin HuldarBw#NA1 is an account that is completely avoiding game detection for griefing but yet is intentionally losing his games again and again. He is currently 0 Wins 11 Losses and is obviously and intentionally playing to lose while avoiding detection of system. Patheti

[Brett Johnston @BrettJohnston4]

The amount of things that have to go wrong in your matchmaking system to allow this graves to be on that account obviously smurfing, while this Zoe is first time Zoe jg and game isn't cancelled, pathetic.

[Brett Johnston @BrettJohnston4]

@drewlevin How dare anyone at your company thinks your matchmaking doesnt have a losers queue and works correctly. Game ID 5639310957 , look at the junglers. How is anyone on the Zoe's team supposed to win the game. Unplayable, embarrassing quality of game.

[Brett Johnston @BrettJohnston4]

@MarathonTheGame 82 Solo Compiler kills, how many of those were the same person? Over half easily, so Id say you had 20 - 30 players able to play this game by themselves and "complete" it. You want to have a videogame that only 30 people are willing to spend the time to complete? Fucking joke.

@NAPainter_ @XqReaper @casualblu3 Ya you definitely arent on the spectrum at all bro! Tell me you have a micro without telling me

@JinglaiHe If Stephen Harper had been on board to legalize marijuana like Justin was during the campaign, I believe he would of stayed Prime Minister.

[Brett Johnston @BrettJohnston4]

@RiotRogueFool Also, the healing plants spawn far too often, so many champs just burst with main combo and ult, retreat to healing plant, and have it up again instantly, so if you dodged with flash first time, you die second time, thats if you even had flash to begin with.

[Brett Johnston @BrettJohnston4]

@RiotRogueFool @LoLDev Hundreds of games of Arena, 5500 points, and nearly every game someone says that this map should be removed, have yet to see someone say a single positive thing about it, its not about being isolated, its about being able to kite effectively and not get hit by giant AOE, remove.

[Brett Johnston @BrettJohnston4]

@StaxOfDonuts what is that? looks unreal

[Brett Johnston @BrettJohnston4]

So awesome seeing people you grew up with succeeding and following their dreams.

@TLDoublelift If it is just regular fries I save them for last, but if it is a poutine and not just regular fries, that shit is to good to not eat right away.
