“If Johnson is the only one to get 100 nominations on Monday he automatically re-becomes PM.
Any system that can give rise to that is a system which does not work.”

Pretty good

As a former Prime Minister, Truss will still get the full yearly package of 129K per year, for serving as PM for 6 weeks.

Meanwhile, BJ (Boris Johnson) is flying back to the UK from his home in the Caribbean to set the wheels in motion to reclaim his old job back. Fuck me, they're putting 'Murca to shame.

Just reading about this speech that Chrystia Freeland gave at Washington DC’s Brookings Institution. Kind of scary stuff. Being dubbed the "Freeland Doctrine” it essentially calls for the end of globalization. It lays out groundwork for a new global trade regime that blocks out Russia and China mostly.

Her proposal is very similar to one that was recently presented by U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, but Freeland’s proposal is much more aggressive.

What amazes me is that globalization was a key platform for progressive political parties. Now they are presenting the groundwork for a new Cold War. As I said, kind of scary stuff.

It's actually remarkable no one has taken a poke at Trudeau or Freeland yet. If JT fiddles with the next election again it may happen...

Funny thing is if JT manages to get re-elected you will see a mass exodus from Canada and many are looking at Florida. Woke libtard California is enjoying it's largest mass exodus in State History. More have left that State in the past few years than any other time in State history. Go woke go broke buddy. Many folks I know here have bought properties in ARZ, Texas, and even Dominican etc to be ready for what's coming. Fucking sad where we are heading.

Not true, but it is a popular talking point of the alt right.

Most states saw a decline in population over Covid because immigration was slowed or halted during that time. The exception was Texas. But even in Texas, some cities declined in population (like Dallas and Houston) while others exploded, especially around Austin and San Antonio.

And what was the demographic that increased the most in Texas? Non-American latinos. I’m sure that ain’t mentioned on the Proud Boys recruitment brochure.

Yeah I doubt it, aside from people that were ready to retire anyways and choose a warmer climate.

As for California, there are many factors at play aside from politics. Increased death rate (covid?, old age?), lower birth rate, less immigration and people moving out of state which many did because of the cost of housing.

It's (frank)ing California, there's a part of that State that's great for just about everyone.

In 2019, the world’s top exporters of crude oil were Saudi Arabia ($145bn), Russia ($123bn), Iraq ($73.8bn), Canada ($67.8bn), and the US ($61.9bn).

I did not know that. Interesting.

And yet the province of Alberta had a $12.2 bil. deficit in 2019/20 an increase of $5.4 bil. over the year before.

Yeah, it’s crazy. Look at the crude pile production per province:

Alberta - 80.2%
Saskatchewan - 9.9%
Newfoundland and Labrador - 6.4%
British Columbia - 2.5%
Manitoba - 0.8%
Other - 0.1%

What the (frank) is Alberta doing with all that money?

The one year they gave everyone a $700 rebate.........likely an election year.

A one time payout of $700 is almost embarrassing. Every year (since 1982) Alaska sends out $1.6 billion in a oil dividend (officially called the Permanent Fund Dividend) to residents, that's roughly $3,000 per person.
