This article doesn't even mention how they're in they middle of pulling a Crimea in Alberta, which Carney is too afraid to interfere with.

Look at where Carney's money is going...

Because Kegsbreath would love nothing more than to march up here to "liberate" us if moves to stop it too openly. He's playing for time and hoping that we can either rally our alliances or that the old fuck dies and the US collapses when the collective delusion of MAGA finally bursts.

Don't worry! Carney turned over defence to Palantir so surely we'll be safe. 🤮

[–] GreenBeard@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago

Ok, yes, I'm not even going to try to defend that one, that's just dumb and/or evil.

albera isn't going to leave, itll only happen if they rig the vote, then America might try playing its hand.

[–] Windex007@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The rigging would have to be fucking astronomical given the polling.

And there is a double barrier. The October referendum is just asking IF a REAL referendum should be had. A vote about having a vote. Even a "yes, have a vote" result would be an incredible deviation from polling. Not just a little. A LOT. A full supermajority polls at "no". Even if the next largest block of "i don't know" swung entirely to "leave" it still shouldn't be close.

So before any real vote could even occur, the tampering would be plainly apparent.

People didn't give trump enough credit in early polling. Don't let polling stop you from voting in your best interest because it seems far fetched, even if it needs a parliamentary vote, don't expect evil to sit still while we're sitting on our hands

Why is polling even legal. It serves no purpose. I'm supposed to change my vote after surveying a small bunch of idiots?

[–] Windex007@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Oh I'll still vote.

But it's realistically it's statistically not the same thing. It's 18% leave vs 72% stay. Although Trump overperformed in 2016, it was from a 45% vs 55% back footing.

Warning against complacency are well recieved, but there is an order of magnitude difference on the overperformance required of the leavers to win this vs the overperformance Trump needed.

Yeah, fair, it's pageantry, it stokes division more than it actually achieves. The price of society is vigilance and all that, I just won't underestimate how much power greed and idiocy hold over us, all you have to do is look at the case study southward.

That’s 5 old dudes and they don’t even have a proper flag.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I live here and it even stupider then that, It is 5 old dudes with 15 flags.

[–] kibblebits@quokk.au 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Settling on one flag is the first part.

Don’t play. This timeline is weird.

Naw, they can stay a mess. We don't need that right now.
