I believe the police and army will still obey orders.
Dan Aykroyd just accidentally explained who needs whom in US and Canada trade.
Without the US, his vodka company Crystal Head loses what he calls "a robust market for us," and "that's all going to be gone."
Some Canadian brands cannot live on Canada alone. Trump doesn't need to prove it. He has a Canadian icon saying it out loud.
Xhaka is the perfect example here. He could have flat out refused the papers and taken a real stand against the mandates instead of forging them so he could keep playing soccer. Choosing the pitch over defending our rights is exactly the kind of submission that kept the whole scheme going.
Using a fake vaccine passport doesn’t make you brave. It makes you a coward who still submitted to the system instead of refusing it outright. By producing and using forged papers you treated the mandates as real and enforceable, which helped keep the lockdowns and passports in place rather than starving them of compliance.
@WomenBeingAwful The only people who think women look better with short hair are other women. Either they like it because the short cut looks more like a man and they’re attracted to men, or they just want to take the competition off the market.
The Westminster system runs on good faith from Parliament down to local courts. When leaders and institutions stop acting in good faith, you get exactly this: floor-crossing majorities, silenced committees, and major foreign deals announced by video instead of proper debate. That’s the real flaw. Unless there is accountability, nothing will change.
The Canadian system runs on good faith. When someone treats the conventions as optional, they can exploit the gaps: parachute in, flip seats, lock in a majority, and sign long-term deals while the House is dark. That’s not a bug in the rules. It’s what happens when the unwritten parts stop being honoured.
These NFL players, coaches, and executives who bought fake vaccine cards should be ashamed.
They had the money, status, and platform — yet instead of speaking out against the mandates, they paid for the fraud to stay comfortable. That choice legitimized the whole system.
While they quietly bought their way around the rules, ordinary people without that option lost their jobs and livelihoods for refusing. Their silence and shortcuts made the coercion work.
@clippedszn Merab faking the vaccine card let him keep fighting, but it legitimized the mandate system.
He had the platform to publicly stand against forced shots for people with no options.
Quietly evading helped him but didn't support fans and workers who had to comply or lose out.
@FabrizioRomano How is Brian White not on this USMNT roster? Dude’s breaking MLS records — 10 goals already this season, consistent finisher, and Whitecaps’ all-time top scorer. Feels like a big oversight for striker depth, especially in a domestic World Cup.
