    Absolutely disgusting tweet by the owner of the Florida Panthers. Here is more context.

      It’s nice that FloridaMan had time to reveal his inner racist. Maybe he can understand why Canada wouldn’t touch his state with a 10 metre pole.

          For the Americans 10 meters is roughly 37 Subway “footlongs”.

            Now I’m thinking about companies using footlongs to pull off shrinkflation.

            Going to go rent a 14 footlong truck from uhaul.

              Well, with America’s current lack of regulation? I’d expect to see that soon! Or companies charging more for the actual spec.

          Travel to the US has dramatically decreased, to the point where WestJet is canceling routes. I also heard somewhere of some snowbirds getting rid of their winter homes. There was one person I know who was in the medical field that sold ther Florida property and bought in Vancouver not long after the COVID pandemic began.

          Just because not everyone is doing it doesn’t mean no one is doing it, or whether the impact will be significant.

            Insignificant in representation, but to my family the news of my shit bag realtor uncle selling off the palm springs home he’s been crowing about for two decades to move back to the Calgary burbs with the plebes like us is news we’ve been waiting for.

            The number of times we’ll have to bring it up, “forgetting” he sold it and asking for the story again, how he had to abandon America for the country he disparaged as a socialist nightmare, will be too high.

      Yeah, the Palestinians are Semites. If anyone is antisemitic, it’s the Zionist colonists who came from Europe. People don’t have beef with Judaism or Israel in this case. They have a beef with genocidal Zionists.

          I mean, a guy can cope, okay?

          We’re not going to get that far, though. We’ve got a poly ecological crisis happening right now between insect extinction, microplastics in brain tissue and inhibiting photosynthesis, and climate change, and the right has decided (thanks to some generous donations) that long term growth is woke, we need maximum profits right up until everyone is dead. We’re just gonna plug our ears and yell “la la la can’t hear you” while the lights flicker out one by one, and then all at once.

              In my 20s I was very skeptical of fluoride in the water supply(even then conspiracy theories were prevelant), 30 yrs later, I think it has MORE than proven its efficacy

                Yep, it’s on the CDC’s top ten public health success list. I moved to a different town in my 20s that only started adding fluoride ten years prior. A dental hygienist recently told me she could tell I wasn’t originally from the area because my teeth were too good for someone my age that grew up here.
