I was referring to the allegations that the GG had CIA ties: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alleged_CIA_involvement_in_the_Whitlam_dismissal, though both Whitlam and Kerr deny it.

In general the way that played out is fine, and we've had related issues pop up here in Canada too.

As mayor there isn't anything he can do about it. He might be able to persuade the town council to have fuck off taxes for the site of the billboard though.

What @[email protected] said before me, but also, try out Corner Gas. It's family safe and also hilarious. It's been credited with introducing other Canadians to Saskatchewan culture since 2004.

Seems the consensus now is a natural born citizen is one with birthright citizenship; so anyone born to a US citizen counts as well.

If the USA successfully annexes Canada Musk would qualify since he was born to a Canadian citizen who would now be a US citizen.

I refuse to believe that anybody believes birds aren't real.

But I also refused to believe flat earthers were real until I met one.

Just took a road trip. Bought gas exclusively at co-ops for the entire length.
