11 novembre 1918. Souvenir de vaillance.
La Première Guerre mondiale, boucherie évitable, aura coûté la vie à des millions de soldats et à toute une génération de jeunes Européens. Contraints de défendre l’Empire britannique par la conscription de 1917, alors qu’ils refusaient, pour une large part, de faire couler leur sang pour un drapeau colonial, les Canadiens français ont connu le feu et la mort sur les champs de bataille d’Europe. Leurs hauts faits auront traversé les générations. En leur mémoire, nous portons aujourd’hui le coquelicot du Souvenir.
Nous nous souvenons de leur bravoure.
Nous honorons leur courage.
Nous réaffirmons les valeurs positives qui fondent la vie militaire et qui demeurent, à travers les siècles, au fondement de notre civilisation : le sacrifice, l’esprit de corps, la force de caractère, le dépassement, la vaillance.
Ne les oublions pas.
[…]
Nous sommes morts
Nous qui songions la veille encor'
À nos parents, à nos amis,
C’est nous qui reposons ici
Au champ d’honneur.
À vous jeunes désabusés
À vous de porter l’oriflamme
Et de garder au fond de l’âme
Le goût de vivre en liberté.
Acceptez le défi, sinon
Les coquelicots se faneront
Au champ d’honneur
— John McCrae, In Flanders Field
[Tableau : La deuxième bataille d’Ypres, Richard Jack, 1917]
This is what a 10MW single geothermal borehole looks like.
This is the energy equivalent of ~200 football fields worth of solar panels located on the sunniest desert on earth. Plus another 5 football fields worth of battery storage to stabilize the load.
It is capable of delivering consistent baseload energy for over 100 years if well maintained. Feasibly much longer.
@syntholene’s architecture is designed to convert geothermal wells like this one into low cost oil wells that never run dry.
As long as the earths mantle is hot, we can produce clean synthetic hydrocarbon fuels to power human civilization long after the economic limitations of crude oil have been exhausted.
This is how we make unlimited fuel. Forever.
Carney is MAD for getting bypassed!
Quebec’s new Premier, PSPP, sent out 59 letters to American Senators and State Governors to promote economic ties between Quebec and their respective States.
When Carney found out, he WARNED PSPP that trade was of federal jurisdiction.
This is what PSPP had to say about it:
PSPP: “Mr. Carney would like us to stay off the ice and never set foot on the rink because he wants the entire rink to himself.
But we, in Quebec, have always claimed our rightful place. That’s what I’m doing with these letters, and that’s what previous governments have done.
And he’s being a little contradictory because he says that if you’re not at the table, you’re on the menu.
So, I don’t know which Mr. Carney to actually believes…”
JOURNALIST: So your intention is not to go around him, if that’s what you’re suggesting.
PSPP: “What I’m saying is that I will do what I believe is in the best interests of Quebec and Quebecers, because I am the Premier of Quebec, and Mr. Carney is not my boss. He cannot stop me from doing what we have always done.
That means having an international presence that allows us to represent our interests.
So, expect to see, over the coming months, a Quebec that takes its rightful place on the world stage.
I said it during the election campaign.”
The philosopher king @nayibbukele and the humanitarian condottiere @realErikDPrince are cleaning up Ayiti. Meanwhile, @amnistia is wailing that the rights of the cannibalistic criminals aren’t being respected. Shameful.

Granted - btw he promised to sell electricity we can't produce. But I was specifically thinking about the trade dispute. He sat on his big old thumbs for months, thinking daddy Federal government was going to solve the issue.
This isn't 1990. The Feds are completely incompetent, and ideologically captured by leftists or compromised/infiltrated by extra-continental foreign entities.
@EnricoCiccone Fucking retard. Sport is always and everywhere about politics. Fucking Wales and Scotland have their own national teams. You're a disgrace.
GDP per capita in Canada is flat since 2015 bud. Why? Irresponsible migration policies imposed by the Feds. The "draconic" language legislations you're complaing about mostly restrict the rights of francophones, not anglophobes. Maybe you're too thick to actually understand them or how they are applied. I wish you luck.
@ElectroBuckVW I don't think you understand what this guy is saying (he's wrong), what the Logan Act means, nor to whom it applies. Good luck figuring it out. You're not even wrong bud.
