Quote from: Grey Fox on July 09, 2025, 09:53:46 AMThe likelihood is 0. Our operators are not interested in changing anything and the federal government can't whip up a new crown corporation fast enough for anything to matter.

I agree with that, it would take direct Federal investment.

Jacob, in answer to your question it all depends on what the Federal government does.  If they get directly involved, it can happen quickly. The infrastructure in Western Canada is good (we do bulk transport to the Port of Prince Rupert well). The issue is building the necessary links East and particularly into Quebec.

I have some questions here, but I'll take them to the Canada thread...

I feel perfectly justified occupying a thread devoted to a man whose stated ambition is to make our country cease to exist.

It's not complicated. The world's most powerful nation (for now) is being run by an idiot with an epic Dunning-Kruger effect.
We have, accordingly, always had plenty of excellent lawyers, though we often had to do without even tolerable administrators, and seen destined to endure the inconvenience of hereafter doing without any constructive statesmen at all.

Oh and the second element is that everyone that surrounds him has to act like an idiot as well, whether they are one or not (most are at this point).  As demonstrated by the Brooke Rollins quotation from Syt on the prior page, which first admits that the centerpiece administration policy for past six months has had no strategic direction and then proceeds to pack multiple levels of stupidity in three lines.  These people are like the Hemingways of stupid policy discourse; they have a gift of packing the maximum stupidity of content into the most compact verbal packages.

So the Epstein client list that Pam Bondi said Monday was on her desk not only does not exist, but never actually existed.

And the surveillance video that the DoJ released to prove that Epstein couldn't have been murdered had a 61-second gap right about the time he died.

Nothing to see here.  Move along.

Clintons did it.  With their magic Clinton powers. Including the power to control the Federal Bureau of Prisons. During the Trump administration.

It's Schrodinger's Cheshire Cat.
Any attempt to observe it causes it not to exist, leaving only a joke on us behind.

I'm not ashamed to admit I've been trolling some of the right about the Epstein thing. :lol:
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Have a look at the letter Trump sent to Lula da Silva. It's making the rounds.

If there was never anything to see here...why was Epstein worried about being convicted...much less feel the need to kill himself? :hmm:

Don't spend too much effort trying to understand that.  By Saturday, Jeffrey Epstein will never have existed.

QuoteSix Republican members of the U.S. Congress have penned a public letter to Canada's ambassador in Washington, demanding that their northern neighbour do better at mitigating wildfires, which have led to thousands of evacuations in this country and sent thick smoke billowing across the border over the past couple of months.

"We write to you today on behalf of our constituents who have had to deal with suffocating Canadian wildfire smoke filling the air," reads the letter signed by House representatives Brad Finstad, Pete Stauber, Michelle Fischbach and Tom Emmer of Minnesota, along with Tom Tiffany and Glenn Grothman of Wisconsin.

Now that we know this is becoming an inconvenience we will now definitely take this seriously.  But perhaps Americans might also think about how the warming of the planet might also be contributing to the setting of the planet on fire.
