You haven't been around when the local beer store is closed. :)

Funny story. In Canada at one point you could only by liquor and beer of the Government. Unlike the US where you can by beer at the corner store and Liquor at the Mom and Pop Liquor store.

Things have changed since that time... BUT, there was a time back in the day that the Liquor store closed at like 6 PM on a Friday... If you were going to party like it was 1999 you had to make a plan because if you didn't you had to talk to the local Bootlegger.

A Conservative Premier gets voted in and he he shook things up. He complained about a Liquor store spending $1 Million on renovations... Mike claimed people would buy it off the back of a truck and there was no need to send him a bill for a million on a reno. He also complained about the hours they were open.

These hours have been long standing and the way Ontario has done business... Unions and whatnot involved...

Harris, the Ontario Premier, said he was going to privatize liquor sales...

And the LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario) capitulated and opened up later on weekends and added Sundays as well.

Alberta has been "Privatized" for some time now... Thats a lie... They all have to get their supplies from the Government... So there are no deals if a store buys 100,000 bottles of XYZ...

The government still has its fingers in the pie... they just don't have to worry about being an employer.

Can't have the gravy train derailed for the gov't, that's for sure.

Funny. The gov't controlling (but not owning) the means of production is the very definition of "fascism".

Yes, you translated it even better than I did. It's all of the above,
and their in their pre-denial stage.

They will always deny.

They can never admit their mistakes. They will do everything in their power to not be held accountable - because then their mistakes will be undenyable.

Well Pumpkin,

I resemble that remark. :)

I'm in shape. "Round" is a shape, isn't it?

they had their chance to codify this years ago... They
could have passed a law through congress that would have taken care of this... BUT they wanted a wedge issue more than making it permanent.

No they couldn't pass a law since such a law would have violated the 10th Amendment and would have been struck down.

Roe vs. Wade was incorrect in the first place and that's how they got it overturned.

The Left doesn't attack head on. They attack at the edges where people don't pay attention or care as much. Then they use a win there to push more and more toward the center. Look at the whole Gun Control stuff that's been going on for decades.

There is a cottage industry of people having birth in the states so
that that child becomes an anchor baby and they use it to get the
family in.

Not a surprise.

I am not sure the way the left has viewed Birthright citizenship will
be the same in the months to come.

I hope not. As the Meme says: If my sheep gives birth on your property, the lambs don't automatically become yours.

I have a feeling that the Supremes will rule on birthright citizenship to disallow "anchor babies". I am more concerned about the DACA people.

I did shoot Trump a message on X ... If he's in negotiations with
Canada that he should trade 2 US liberals for 1 conservative
Canadian... I haven't heard a response yet.

Canada doesn't have any conservatives. They only have liberals and weak people.

What was interesting was that JD could answer random questions for ~an hour or so without a teleprompter. He articulated points and didn't
speak in word salads... I lost weight watching that... no salads.

And people probably got smarter watching that.

Unlike listening to The View or da Ho's word salad.

There's no solution for the NYC mayoral problem. Not until the
Republican party does something about the rinos on their committees.

Relax, its happening as we speak...

I hope so. We have enough evidence to deport Mamdani as an illegal.

I hope so too. But the more I scruitinize our gov't, the more I realize that we don't have a Republic. We have something that is approaching Fascism.

IHMO: I think that's part of why some people embrace socialism. They feel that Capitalism has failed them. But what really happened is that we moved away from Capitalism and the failure they are feeling is really what happens when a society turns fascist.

My thoughts as well. If I get too deep in a dive I am shocked that we are where we are.

Freedom and all that goes with it, from a US perspective was not what I was raised in.

My grandfather served overseas during WWII and I'm sure most "Normies" think this is fully retarded. <--- This is a comment on behavior and not on political leader's chromosomes

It's the old story about the "Frog in the Post". We allowed it to happen, slowly, over decades. Each erosion was almost imperceptable. The ones that noticed we labeled "conspircy theorists" or "alarmists".

Freedom and all that goes with it, from a US perspective was not what I was raised in.

You got that right. But people are fighting back. The current demand to eliminate property taxes, for example. They are selling it correctly this time. "I paid for it. Why do I have to pay the gov't to keep it?" "Why am I renting the land I paid for from the gov't?"

"You will own nothing and be happy."

The financial capital of the world may fall to communism.

The financial capital of the world have already been moving out of NYC for a while. With a commie as Mayor, the move will accellerate.

IHMO: This **NEEDS** to happen to teach people a lesson.

Tough times make strong men. Strong men make GREAT time. Great times make weak men... Weak men make tough times... and repeat.

And we are in tough times. The Elitists have been trying to make men weak, but they failed.
