@jengerson 70% of the population doesn't want to separate. Forever Canada people hold incredible contempt for the majority of Albertans. They actually hate their province. They hate anyone who disagrees with them. They're not fighting for "Alberta," they're fighting for themselves.

@DKalabus @ATabarrok You make it sound like the ability to kill one's children is the main differentiator between D and R. Not the flex you think it is

@ksdenison @Top100Rick Hard sell to get me interested in watching old men play golf, for sure don't want to watch old men ... just walk

@thepagesrepost @DemosKratosCA 100% agree. We would have the immediate problem of having to replace all of the elected leadership, but why not.

It's easy for those in their 60s and 70s to say fuck the US, we'll go our separate ways. You're retired, or soon to be, likely a homeowner with a pension.

However, people in their 20s and 30s will be absolutely fucked by this. Talk about pulling up the ladder on the next generation.

I’ve let my kids stay up late the last two nights so we could play board games. On Saturday we played Scrabble until it was an hour past their bedtime and then I decided that we’d have ice cream and watch TV for a while. They were thrilled. This time I spent with my kids wasn’t a “sacrifice” or a burden I heroically shouldered for their sake. I like hanging out with them. They’re smart and funny and fun to be around. Sure they can be annoying sometimes, but anyone can be annoying. I’ve annoyed countless people in my day. Including my kids.

If you hate being a parent and actively resent your children, it’s either because you categorically refuse to get out of your own head and put in the minimal effort it requires to develop a real relationship with them, or it’s because you’ve done a really crappy job raising them so now they’re hard to be around. Either way, it’s a you problem. It’s your fault. Not theirs. It’s your responsibility, then, to pretend you don’t hate it.

Yes, pretend. Yes, suppress your true feelings. Yes, put on an act. Maintain the facade for your kids, because it’s deeply scarring and unfair to saddle them with your personal issues. And maintain the facade for the public, because frankly we don’t want to have to deal with your narcissistic nonsense either. Your “true self” is unsightly and off putting, and you shouldn’t force anyone to bear witness to it.

So fake it til you make it. Act like the kind of parent you should be, until you actually become that parent. Shoulder the burden of your own narcissism silently and with dignity. If you do that, after a while, and by definition, you will no longer be a narcissist. One day you’ll look up and realize that you’re actually not faking it anymore. You really do enjoy giving your time and yourself to those you love.

At least that’s how it often works. I don’t know if it will for you or not. But either way, whatever you do, don’t take your failures out on your children.

@govt_corrupt Now there's a bunch of channels that don't even show advertising? How does that business model work?

@GravuresDe74408 @Sassafrass_84 You think immigrants are only good for low paying, menial jobs? You are a first class racist.

@jpuopolo @mario4thenorth I see. I took the point of Mario's post to be that is should be Carney who is shown as the failure. Many people have run for office and failed to be elected. Policy failure belongs to those who made it, Liberals.

[Stephen Babik @StephenBabik]

@jpuopolo @mario4thenorth What question are you answering? Pollievre is the one making a deal with Trump because 'he lost the election'? That makes no sense.

@Martyupnorth polls in canada are just another form of propaganda

@Limitless_LT @beidsvik @nejatian If 10s of thousands of people are employed in a money-losing venture that did not properly weigh risks/benefits then they should be unemployed and that capital reinvested in a productive segment of the economy. If you cant see that you are a communist.

@LauraPratt33 @SarahFischer__ Why doesn't Mexico have a recession, they also share a border with Trump?

[Stephen Babik @StephenBabik]

@Tablesalt13 Could the reason be fraudulent governments at every level?
