As an Albertan who frequently goes to protests against the UCP’s constant Americanization of our province, this feels mad disrespectful.

I hate how the Karen Convoy of Needle Weenies has robbed us of this joke, as well as everything else. DAMN YOU HILLBILLY GARAGE-QUEEN DODGE-DRIVING COWARDS.

i love how canada will literally do a portland over hockey. But for every other forseeable happenstance, it’s “uhm, yeah i think i might disagree actually”

you do you canada, don’t let anybody tell you otherwise.

We did have quite the protest (some would say riot) over the federal mask mandates.

I still don’t get the issue. Signs saying “no shirt, no shoes, no service” barely get noticed, but putting a cloth on your face is too much?

Okay.

people are pissing and shitting themselves over it because the government said so, and they want something to bitch about.

That’s about it.

The government also says you can’t impede the flow of traffic, but that didn’t stop them from parking trucks all around Ottawa in protest.

Clearly some laws are enforced more than others.

What I want to know is, did anyone get in trouble for not requiring masks? Because if they didn’t, then it’s really on the businesses because they chose to enforce that mandate on everyone.

There’s also a law that says you can’t pay for something with more than 25 loonies, but I’d bet if you pay for a meal with $30 in loonies, nobody will give a shit. We have some stupid laws, most of those stupid laws aren’t enforced because nobody gives a shit. I also know that some cities have banned smoking in public parks. Imagine getting a citation for having a smoke at the park down the street? Idiotic.

Enforcement is where the rubber hits the road. Just because the boneheads in Ottawa say you should do a thing (or not do a thing) is meaningless if nobody will enforce what they say should be a law or whatever.

Maybe I missed it, but I don’t recall any establishment getting fined or shut down for not requiring masks. I know the list of places openly opposing the mandate was small, but at the same time, fines for non-compliance also didn’t make any news feeds that I saw.

This meme is older than my kids

I’m not sure how old your kids are, so this isn’t very helpful.

I mean, they could have been born yesterday, in which case, almost everything is older than your kids.

I’m just saying. Maybe add some context? Like “this meme is older than my kids, and they’re in college” or something like that.

They don’t have kids. They made a comment detailing that they don’t know how to take a shower.

The meme is still good.

I swear to God Vancouver had the absolute most shit luck this playoffs. They were my west team 100%, but the hockey gods said nay. Fortunately, Canadians respect the hockey gods and will not riot.

You do realize Vancouver has rioted 2 out of 3 times after losing the cup on game 7?

Yeah, that wasn’t the hockey gods. Gotta riot. Both your goalies going down, Boeser having fucking blood clots are just hockey gods fucking with you, and it’s not a rip table offense unfortunately.

I saw an excellent video exploring the idea of Relegation and (a replacement for) the NHL. It was excellent and I hope, by commenting this, it will encourage someone who still has the link to-hand to post that link here.
