I once knew a guy who attended a proper clown school in Berlin. So… Like that I guess?

Nothing. That’s kind of the point.

Ha, thanks for the correction.

Swiss Guards are active duty Swiss military iirc. Deployng them could be… Problematic on many levels.

Except in this case you probably wouldn’t even need to, because right wing views are somewhat of a prerequisite of the job.

So what do they do with all the AFD sympathizers in the police?

That’s exactly what makes me believe they will win next time with little effort. Unless the LPC delivers big, people are not going to vote “anything but conservative” again.

If Carney is smart, he actually pushes for proportional representation. It would save the liberals next election, all the smaller parties would be on board, and even if he gets ousted after, he would have secured his place in the history books (not sure how susceptible he is to appeals to his vanity…)

Sorry, didn’t check back until now, but looks like it got sourced in the meantime.

The Canadian cons didn’t actually boot Polievre, instead they’re giving him an easy to win riding and a brand new seat in parliament so he can stay on. Which probably means he’ll stick around and win the next election. I hate it.

Berlin?

Got my licence a bit over 2 years ago. I ALWAYS use the blinkers. You never know when there’s some other participant in traffic that you don’t notice for which the information of what I’m about to do is important.

It annoys me to no end that a lot of drivers here won’t signal for lane changes or turn offs.

Mac and Cheese with Gojuchang hot sauce.

What wars are you planning, Donnie?

Yeah, Panama also side steps the NATO problem.

From what I remember, in the books he’s more the type to go put his nose into things and get involved.

If you ever get the opportunity, take the train to the top of Mount Rigi. It’s right on the edge of the alps. Turn one way, see the lowlands to the North West, all the way to Bodensee. Fahre the other direction, see a wall of mountains.

Did something a little bit similar last fall - Vancouver to Vancouver Island, through BC over the Rockies to Edmonton. Then flight to Montreal and up to Saguenay, down to the cantons de l"est, back to Montreal.

The whole cross country thing is on the list, bit will have to wait. This country is big…

He saved his family, but boy did he fuck over a lot of people to get there. A lot more people could have been saved had he not been such a massive asshole throughout the movie. I’m still not sure if that was the intent on the character’s portrayal, but towards the end I was actively rooting for him to fail.

What’s the typical reaction to that? Bring honest like that doesn’t sound like a winning strategy, unless you pass it off as a joke maybe.
