In France, if a foreigner serving in the French Foreign Legion was injured in combat, he is automatically declared Français par le sang versé. Meaning French by spilled blood. When he is given medical treatment the first form he is to fill out as soon as he is able is an application of French citizenship which will be automatically granted.

I honestly cannot think of a bigger show of loyalty than that. What kind of impression do they think they are making?

This is why, as a Canadian, I will not be going to the US any time soon.

Don’t mess with the Zohran!

Correct. But it is not the same.

I haven’t used Chrome in years. Brave and firefox, that’s my crowd.

Wasn’t he the children’s author who published the book about a talking animals learning the value of hard work or something?

My god…

Fun fact. I made a fictional world that is a flat earth (flat planet?) I just found the implications of such a world to be fascinating and went with it.

Yes, fighting for women’s rights and their bodies by blowing them into a fine red mist.

I would tell him to kiss my ass. But I would rather he suck the shit out of my asshole.

Let them eat THEIR OWN shit.

The bears in the New Hampshire debacle is a thing of legend.

Every last one of their communities is nothing but a leech and extortion of others. Every single one. Why not use a fraction of his immense wealth to improve the infrastructure?

I honestly wouldn’t know. I live in Canada and police vehicles here are incredibly obvious and marked. Some unmarked vehicles do exist, but they are for detectives and people going after more serious crimes and dont care about parking tickets and jaywalkers.

Also many people may not necessarily know how a real ICE badge looks like. And fake badges are available for collectors and cosplayers alike. Also most people will not fully check or examine a badge or insignia, meaning by the time they realize it is fake it will be too late.

Plague of locusts? Blood raining down? Him literally getting struck by lightening?

I would like the later. It would be hilarious.

In Canada they are also eroding away at privacy rights. I voted for Mark Carney (liberal) specifically to not let the pro-Trump conservatives (Canadian conservatives) in… but then Bill C-2 is introduced (not law yet. Not even close. It is in the first reading. Meaning first ever step in the process) that is trying to grant the police the right to open mail without a warrant at any stage in delivery, as well as to directly monitor a person’s internet use without a warrant, and to criminalize (yes criminalize) any cash purchase over 10,000$. Quebec already bans people from carrying more than 3000$ in cash at a time. You can be arrested and charged with intent to commit a crime just for doing that.

I mean fuck me. At this point in time I legit don’t give a fuck about money laundering or petty bullshit. This is such a gross violation of privacy that as far as I am concerned they need to repeal all terrorism related laws.

The Canadian government was able to pursue and apprehend and charge international terrorists in the past without any of these laws. Are the making it easier? I doubt it.

Their orders are illegal, thus disobeying them is not insubordination or illegal.

Sumatra? I am going to take note of that.

Libreoffice for the fucking win!

You want to know what is even weirder? Since you mentioned blackpowder firearms?

A flintlock musket, even an modern creation of an old design (such as the Brown Bess musket of the American Revolution) there are no regulations at all in Canada. No paperwork, no license, no registration, nothing. Even people with criminal records are not forbidden from owning them. A person with a history of domestic abuse, assault, and armed robbery can still get one legally.

But… flintlock pistols are (now were due to the freeze) treated exactly as modern pistols are. Meaning they need to be registered, locked up with trigger locks and carried in locked cases.

I find that preposterous. Even if flintlock pistols were freely available criminals would not bother using them. In several European countries (such as France) firearms DESIGNED prior to 1880 require no permit to buy or own. This means that cowboy movie lovers who own newly made colt SAA revolvers only need to register their guns but no permit needed to buy or own.

Despite this, there are next to no crimes in France committed with them. I should mention that many companies still make new revolvers of that kind, so it isn’t like they are using 19th century vintage makes.

It is fucking stupid.

And also seeing the liberals (and I voted liberal last election) trying to make bill C2 is only making my blood boil.
