Sometimes I'm like "This is the perfect and logical place to put this item, this is where the item can live from now on." and then it's gone.
I would not ordinarily recommend Hitler's tactics and strategies as a general rule, but he sure knew how to solve the Hitler problem, at the very end. Donny, maybe look into that.
I think EU membership is a huge stretch, but we could certainly move in the direction of harmonizing with EU trade regulations. A good medium-term goal might be to join the Schengen trade zone, and then move on from there.
Canada is five large cities, which are easy to capture, and an entire USSR-size back-country of rough terrain, which would be nearly impossible to patrol and hold in the face of even a mildly resentful populace. You don't have to have the entire population actively fighting - passive resistance would make it difficult to do anything in the face of shrugs and "I dunno"s.
Resistance fighting can be picked up pretty fast, and in the face of brutal American reprisals and repression, I think it would be. Their history in Afghanistan and Vietnam shows that they'd create an entire generation of people out for revenge VERY quickly.
We would hide our insurgents, and they would fade into the mountains and forests. You don't need a lot of active insurgents to cause a huge problem.
We have cheap drones and abundant weapons. We're one of the more gun-infested countries per capita, and have a porous border with the USA.
It'd be a hell on Earth. They'd never hold the Rockies.
Resource extraction operations. Forestry and mining are easy to disrupt, especially if the local labour doesn't like the occupiers. There are a thousand ways to gum up the works, and a thousand more to attack them and fade away into the surrounding forest.
If and when it becomes possible to surgically modify yourself into an actual transhuman type catgirl or kitsune, and you know the furries will be all over it, there will definitely be a conservative backlash.
Oh gods... the man really is an idiot. :( At least Harper was shrewd.
He may be too dumb to be effective politically, I hope.
Gender affirming surgery.
Not necessarily, I find it moronic too. Like why is it even a discussion? Let people do what they want. It doesn't harm anyone and might make them a lot happier.
I can't speak for the others but Dawkins has fallen into an anti-trans rabbithole lately and has said some pretty hateful stuff. :(
Boomer was definitely a term in the 80s at least... I was there, Gandalf.

What's the percentage on transgender people? 1% or lower? Way lower, even. I say we open the gates and accept as many as want to come in. Couldn't be more than a couple million people.
