Realistically that role would probably be the Governor General, a position literally chosen by the fucking UK royals but with parliamentiary consent lmfao

Joly is worse really since she's basically our Blinken, except she has to act as PR for our government just doing as the US says

I'm pretty pessimistic about it, seems like a lot of theatre for not much gain, especially when it comes to politicking away most of the best, most critical points in the original motion for essentially reiterating the Liberal position all over again only this time with NDP support. It could be good if they actually pull through on any of it, but it still leaves such a bad taste in my mouth to see the NDP fold so quickly and easily before the Liberals.

TBF I won't really be satisfied till we get sanctions and official condemnations, I suppose it is the state of things that not polishing Israel to completion is an improvement to official Canadian foreign policy

Ugh. Reject Ranger is just so much more poetic and not a direct reference to the show, should have gone with that.

In kkkanada news NDP motion on Palestinian statehood passes after major amendments

The Liberals completely gutted the motion so it has no teeth and basically doesn't amount to anything. Thanks Jaghmeet.

Seems like people overlook their first album, it's got some classic rock bangers on that they really drifted away from when they picked up Peart and went real prog with it.

Take a friend is such a summer jam

It's the most mind-bending thing to suggest to these people that Kiev and Tel Aviv are friends, it's so fucking mutually exclusive to support them both. The exact same bombs being sent to fight Russia are being used to massacre the Palestinians.

Strikes me that being a Pokemon in the Pokemon universe would be pretty horrifying, the potential to be caught and forced to fight for some snot-nosed 12 year old the rest of your life is too high.

Yeah, between this and Biden reaching out to Trump and the GOP directly on a border plan, I think 'Uncommitted' in Michigan got them shaking more than anything outside domestic American politics

The Fasces is a really good symbol for fascism: an implement that appears equal parts tool and weapon but is ultimately ceremonial, a flimsy looking clumsy approximation of utility and power
