@Kobold it turns out they actually don't want the working class to unite — hmmm
@coldacid it's funny, all the stuff I hear from working class people from my home town in Québec is 100% in full support of the truckers. I've seen very little francophone support for Trudeau (whether this is bias in favour of his father isn't entirely clear) and most of the people claiming it's "racist" are anglo.
Anyone who thinks that white = privilege in Canada has forgotten about the Acadians and Québecois.
@coldacid Here's what happened the last time a Trudeau used the war measures act btw

@louisrcouture @Dave not if they can make up some other shit to make it look like that's not the reason, lmao the business is tanking anyway
@Dave that's so stupid lmao
@Dave I was born in Quebec, speak Quebec french pretty damn well, but because I spoke French to a francophone customer, I got fired.
@Dave food service / waitstaff
@Dave reminder that I got fired from my last job for speaking french (I'm more or less bilingual) to a customer who didn't speak English, when I tried to fight it they made up some Jew magic shit in courts so I lost
@Dave Alice Roosevelt was one hell of a woman
She smoked cigarettes in public, rode in cars with men, stayed out late partying, kept a pet snake named Emily Spinach (Emily after her spinster aunt and Spinach for its green color) in the White House, and was seen placing bets with a bookie.
On May 11, 1908, Alice amused herself in the Capitol's gallery at the House of Representatives by placing a tack on the chair of an unknown but "middle-aged" and "dignified" gentleman. Upon encountering the tack, "like the burst of a bubble on the fountain, like the bolt from the blue, like the ball from the cannon," the unfortunate fellow leapt up in pain and surprise while she looked away.
Once, a White House visitor commented on Alice's frequent interruptions to the Oval Office, often to offer political advice. The exhausted president commented to his friend, author Owen Wister, after she interrupted their conversation for the third time and he threatened to throw her "out the window", "I can either run the country or I can attend to Alice, but I cannot possibly do both."
During the cruise to Japan, Alice jumped into the ship's swimming pool fully clothed, and coaxed Congressman William Bourke Cockran to join her in the water. Putting a romantic spin on the story, newspapers reported it was Longworth. (Years later Bobby Kennedy would chide her about the incident, saying it was outrageous for the time, to which the by-then-octogenarian Alice replied that it would only have been outrageous had she removed her clothes.) In her autobiography, Crowded Hours, Alice made note of the event, pointing out that there was little difference between the linen skirt and blouse she had been wearing and a lady's swimsuit of the period.
@Dave when your dad is Teddy Roosevelt you're almost given a birthright to be absolutely chaotic and Alice was exactly that.
@Dave the only acceptable reason for "I can rule the country or I can watch my kids" is if you are a Roosevelt
Zoomer himbo. I like dudes.
