Thank you for taking the time. I think I was just pigeon-holeing myself in regards to this exact situation and how silly I found it that people were happy to blame Carney specifically within hours of a story (about a private company doing evil) getting published, literally less than a few weeks totally of them specifically doing this particular evil.

I agree with “the government as a whole institution is to blame.” For having this type of private business at all.

I don’t mean to be obtuse, I just really am not sure what you are telling me. Are you saying the Prime Minister (Carney, Trudeau, Harper, earlier?) should have already shut them down?

Oh boy oh boy oh boy.

I think this might be a little different. It’s a private company, and I’m not familiar with the Rom situation. I truly don’t know the laws or rules that would govern this sort of thing. We shall see.

And nothing of value was lost.

What does this have to do with our Prime Minister knowing about a large Canadian Company providing services to build a concentration camp?

Reality is just a bit out of reach sometimes eh?

It’s ok. Live in your weirdly specific 90’s movie trope where you are mad as hell at your BF but they have no clue because literally nobody will communicate and everyone assumes someone else told them.

Or… Hear me out. Wait literally 1 business day. Then if he hasn’t said anything, be the change you want to see in the world and send this article and anything else you can find to him.

Then by all means, bitch and moan if it helps you cope with this dystopia. We are all trying to get through. I just personally only have so much energy, I’d rather spend it on actual shit choices that have been made and not on something he has almost no control over and probably doesn’t know about yet.

Lol on a Tampabay newspaper article posted to Lemmy 42 minutes ago.

Yeah I’m sure he’s right on top of this. Shame on him for not already condemning it!

Not reading article, don’t actually care. American Express can suck it. They put the average person through hell to get $10,000 credit. They should have been more responsible with this person. Unless they can show they did the usually consideration, gradually upping her credit over time with responsible limits, that’s just the risk of doing business.

Ok I caved and read the article. Lady makes bank (or was faking). Why did she need a $600k+ limit? What is she putting on a credit card that would lead to that amount in such a short time? American Express wanted their cut, they got burned.

“Elbows up” is a saying/slang/expression in hockey to mean “get ready to fight” (hockey basically allows guys to throw fists between plays for some reason). It is currently being used in political ads and other pro Canada ads in reference to the current trade war.

I was riffing off this, since (as a headline) this is just Canada rolling over for cry baby Trump. It’s not elbows up. It’s daddy Trump telling Carney off like a toddler and Carney cowering. “Elbows off the table!”

Elbows off the table.

I believe they are referring to Jhaj.

It’s cops talk for "we for some reason can’t name the person you are asking about, but we are investigating a person who exactly matches their description.

Translation: “we wish to look like we are doing our jobs”

Emphasis on START digging. I thought that was a terrible article. All questions, almost no answers.

I still do not understand what’s going on with this.

1. What is the end goal? Is he just sexually excited by hiring children to roleplay him being famous, or is the hope (for him. A terrible word obviously) that he will have some opportunity to assault or abuse one of these children?
2. Where is the money from? This question should be what the cops focus on. He or someone is bankroling this bizarre behavior somehow. If what he is doing is illegal (which I also still don’t know if it is??) then shut the money down and jail the people bankroling it.
3. I just really don’t understand

Thank you for your garbage take which lead to some informative discussion below!
