Reagan also stopped Japan and Europe's trade dumping on the US and literally mind-fucked the Soviet Union to death.

It was also a different time, immigrants as a % of population was very low, so it was more acceptable to increase immigration vs today.

Send them all those Indians and Africans to Richmond, BC, and Markham, Ontario (ethnic Chinese enclaves in Canada).

Then sit back and watch the fireworks. :)

Because there's already not enough conservatives in America? Moving a few million Americans to BC and Manitoba to swing the vote would kill the GOP's chances in the US unless they were all from Arkansas and West Virginia.

Also, the MP system in Canada vastly favors the Liberals over the Conservatives (assuming no NDP vote) due to the tiny MP districts clustered around urban areas. This is how BC is 50-50 popular vote and 60-40 Lib-Con MP seats.

Also free slaves and destroy infrastructure?

Sherman's March is basically what Russia is doing now with their strategic bombing in Ukraine.

80% of the pipeline goes through the USA, and the rest goes through Alberta. The US is the primary player here.

Also, Trudeau apparently wasn't too happy when the pipeline was canned. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/justin-trudeau-disappointed-biden-cancel-keystone-xl-pipeline

You're thinking about the Northern Gateway project, which was barely even approved by the Harper government.

Trump also mocked McCarthy for failing to become Speaker.

Where's Laxalt and Masters then?

Kari Lake only contested because of the tight margin.

The fact that she's going as far as she is is the shocking part.

Oprah also betrayed Oz though.

Also, pretty hard to contest an election with a 5% unfavourability rate.

Even Laxalt and Masters didn't contest.

Eisner, who is due finally to retire as chief executive next year, complained to Stewart that: "I'm probably the last of the creative types to run a company like this. They want MBAs, accountants."

Also, literally every self-learning AI outside China that the public gets its hands on that they can manipulate.

The first question people ask is, "how do I get it to do what I want?"

And making it racist is pretty funny, NGL.

California is very D-leaning, but the GOP is also surprisingly decent (especially compared to the Pacific NW).

The GOP there retook Orange County and made massive gains with the East Asian and Hispanic Community there. If we had them in New Mexico or Arizona...

Hey, I may be missing something, but I'm pretty sure that from my understanding, 'ballot harvesting' is illegal in pretty much all the swing states (except maybe Nevada and Wisconsin, which the GOP outperformed in compared to the other swing states in 2022.)

https://ballotpedia.org/Ballot_harvesting_laws_by_state

There's only 'illegal' ballot harvesting (not being related to the person and handing in their ballot), and 'completely fraudulent' ballot harvesting (ballots of dead people).

The reason Dems can get away with this stuff is because enforcement of these laws nowadays are minimal. There's no 'legal' ballot harvesting (other than placing drop boxes in strategic locations.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional-reserve_banking

Because banks hold in reserve less than the amount of their deposit liabilities, and because the deposit liabilities are considered money in their own right (see commercial bank money), fractional-reserve banking permits the money supply to grow beyond the amount of the underlying base money originally created by the central bank.[3][5]

Ukraine obviously wants NATO to enter the war.

That doesn't mean they were responsible. It means they were taking advantage of it.
