Yeah that's how Canada is pretending it's not been in a recession for years. Out of control housing market has inflated the GDP on paper, when everyone else can basically go fuck themselves I guess according to the government
I don't think he cares if it backfires. Canada has about as much raw power as about 3 midwestern states, with the military and populace to match. It was capable of projecting world power in a world a fuck sight less populated than today, the worlds second largest country but the population of some European country you can drive across in 4 hours.
I've seen that happen in extensive but cohesive friend groups that start to develop their own slang and way of talking
any population of two languages of equal users in the right sort of stagnant isolation starts doing that, even Canadians that never spend any time in Quebec and don't speak or understand french vocally whatsoever, are pretty damn good at getting the point from reading it.
Your best indication would be what happened in France to the language since 1600, and what happened to French in Quebec since 1700. To Parisians, Quebec French sounds archaic and coarse, but it's developed and changed a lot, millions speak it in Quebec so it's formed it's own divergent path from a common base dialect, which apparently back then sounded a lot like a German speaking French, as modern Quebec French also does. Anyways, some sort of isolation and lack of regular exchange will have to develop to prevent both languages from continuing to match, which a space colony with a base stock from one nation and permanent residents would pretty much be, as long as they are not watching the same TV shows as on Earth
Man I’m a bit of “natural” mimic i guess, I once binge watched a season of Fargo and started talking like that, then I heard myself talking like that, couldn’t get my normal accent back, so I just was quiet for a few days. There is nothing harder to do than fake your natural accent (Grew up in a county with a lot of people with the Minnesota accent, this probably had something to do with it, although I personally had a Montana accent, and this happened when I lived on the west coast and my accent had been quite nerfed.)
Man I think it's been 20 years since anyone gave a shit about the Commonwealth Games. I wonder if real young people are even aware they were once a thing...might even still be.
He's fucking trolling, goddamn you people believe anything
The American dream was the freedom to pursue your goals, not those rewards being handed to you. Common misconception. You had a bunch of kids before financially ready or didn't go to the right school, picked up a felony young, whatver you did, that was on you, by the old timers logic. Literal royalty just wasn't preventing you anymore.
Quite simply, most americans aren't that mad at Trump. He's poking at foreign nations, while the foreign media gets more n more shrill and hysterical. You're in Canada, dude, he's trying to piss you off right now.
Don't keep anything incriminating on your phone, yeah american border guards but also the fucking RCMP likes to grab phones.
If you want to get away with lying to people, it has to be believable.

you morons that think mexicans don't come in white varieties are the real fucking ignorance problem.
