Except the demon is also an idiot because she doesn’t have a tail and is way less agile than she thinks she is.

I think it’s the case with most Slavic languages. My wife’s native tongue is Serbian, and knowinf when and how to use articles was one the hardest parts of learning English for her.

Hey, you hacks writing this: there is no massive flow of drugs going from Canada to the USA. Stop letting the orange rapist get away with this lie.

Here’s my original post again. I bolded the key part: it’s Trump telling the lie, and the news organizations are credulously repeating it.

This same article doesn’t provide any pushback to this claim until much later in the article, and then it only says that, “Carney said Canada accounts for only about 1% of fentanyl imports into the US,” instead of calling it what it is: a lie.

This is what has my onions cheesed: that major news outlets are uncritically repeating all the fetid slop that spews from Trump’s mouth. Another example was the ‘Governor Trudeau’ bit from a few months ago, where I saw one clip of a gormless CNN anchor nod their empty head and chuckle as Trump’s lapdog displayed the most wanton disregard for civility and the truth.

Canada had “failed to cooperate” in curbing the flow of fentanyl and other drugs across the US border. The Canadian government says it is cracking down on drug gangs.

My angel is the centrefold?

If you were talking about neckties, maybe. Loosening social ties doesn’t sound natural, at least to me.

You’re right, they don’t.

The ones beginning with “d” generally translate as “of the,” while the “à” ones generally translate as “to the” or “at the.”

French has three words that mean “the”: “le” (masculine), “la” (feminine), and “les” (plural).

I was thinking Flagpole Sitta, but that works too

Or a 90s indie song.

If I can’t find a Canadian version of a product, I look for Mexico next.

Help your neighbours, everyone.

I can think of a bunch of other things that Google should be embarrassed about, but Gemini is uniquely humiliating because of how proud they are of it and how hard they are pushing it.

Copilot is one of two LLMs I’ve briefly tried. It was noticeably better than Gemini was at the time, but still seemed entirely pointless. Nothing it (or Gemini) offered to do were things I wanted help with. I enjoy research and writing, so why would I outsource those things and burn down an acre of rainforest in the process?

The zeal of the convert.

According to his Wiki page:

“In August 2019, Vance was baptized and confirmed in the Catholic Church in a ceremony at St. Gertrude Priory in Cincinnati, Ohio.”

And this is the saddest part. The primary victims will be young children, suffering through a potentially deadly disease because of their parents’ credulity.

I fully appreciate that, and it’s the same in Canada for many people. I’ve witnessed it personally. I’m very fortunate to be in a position to handle that sort of thing.

The hospital just wrote it off instead, so the cost was passed to the Canadian taxpayer. Lucky for me, but frustrating all the same. I would have rather the insurance pay like the were supposed to.

Hell, I’m from Canada where we have (mostly) socialized medicine, and the one time I made a claim on private insurance it was denied. That was after I had called them to confirm that yes, my policy (should have) covered that expense.

And it was only a few hundred bucks too, so my frustration was more about the principle of the thing rather than the cost.

The article says “Canadian leaders” but only mentions the Deputy PM by name. That troubles me.

Canada is on track to a Conservative government in our next election. The current Liberal regime is long in the tooth and Trudeau is unpopular. One of my biggest worries is that the new Conservative government will put appeasing Trump over the interests of Canadians.

I looked at a few Canadian news outlets, and it seems that this announcement by the Deputy PM is coming on the heels of a First Ministers’ meeting, which is the council of the PM and all ten provincial premiers. Nothing about this indicates that the federal opposition is on board, though the most conservative premier (Danielle Smith of Alberta) seemed to think it was a productive meeting.

They might, but I can’t say for certain. I didn’t mention it because, again, I’m not a Canadian lawyer, and the basic info on provinces vs territories was far more accessible.
