Dougie can fuck right off - the courts determine legality, not elected officials. They're doing their damn job, it's just inconvenient for him and his pals.

I have to get out to a PWHL game. My neighbour here in Brockville just bought season seats for the Victoire for the same reasons you mention, i.e great hockey at affordable prices, and I'm all for it.

Conflicted?? Why the hell would any sane person travel to that fascist shit hole?

Absolutely. I had a friend (f*ck cancer) who was a huge movie buff, never missed TIFF, but he refused to watch Canadian-made movies. His argument was that he had been disappointed by them too many times, but I pointed out that Hollywood had disappointed him way more often lol. I finally got him to watch some, but he was a stubborn bastard about it. Miss ya, Fred.

Trump is just a symptom of a much larger problem. The U.S. is federally fucked and will remain so for a long time - I don't see myself ever going back again.

I don't think your experience is unique - I think because the U.S. has been so dominant economically, culturally, and certainly militarily, much of the world overlooks us. It's not in our national character to be boastful, we just get things done - but never mistake our quiet nature for meekness. We're fiercely proud of our country and our accomplishments - and of being very unlike our neighbors to the south.

You should definitely come visit if you get the chance, there's a lot to see, and a nation of friendly people to help you enjoy it. Ciao!

Even if he could guarantee complete safety, there's no way in hell I'm stepping into the land of the Christo-fascists, or giving their economy my money.

Yep, I voted Liberal just for that, then Justin walked away from that promise without even trying and lost my vote in the subsequent elections.

Newsom is a hell of a joker, or a complete idiot. Get fucked, America.

You literally couldn't pay me to set foot in the land of the Christo-fascists.

Fuck Xitter, I don't know why anyone other than Nazis would use it.

 

Like it says, I haven't had a craving from a drink in a couple of years, but this week has been nothing but stress - getting sick, crazy at work, death in the family. All adding up to me spending way too much time thinking about how nice a glass or two of good whisky would be. In the end I went for a walk, played some Playstation and had a couple of Guinness 0%. Happy Friday :-)

 

Just wanted to mention how glad I am that Guinness 0% exists. One of the things I missed most when I decided to quit drinking was a cold pint of Guinness, especially when I'm barbecuing on the deck. Guinness 0% is every bit as tasty as the original - between that and my local brewery's excellent 0% Vienna lager, sober life is good :-). I will not drink with you today!

 

Welcome to all who stop by. Like it says, this is a safe, supportive community for folks who are trying to quit or control their drinking, for any reason. We all have our own reasons for deciding to put down the bottle, and we're all on this trip together, so why not help each other out? Please feel free to share your experiences, to help other posters, and to ask for help yourself.
