You're chearing for the cancelation of a clean energy project in a solidly Democratic area because you want the Unions in the area that voted against Trump to suffer because you think they voted for Trump. And on top of all that you think you have a leg to stand on calling anyone else a dink? Lmfao

As I understand it, your own trucker unions haven't exactly been singing kumbayah either. Should I assume they are also an accurate representation of all Canadian unions and wish pain on all Canadian trade workers because of it?

The only unions that endorsed Trump in 2024 were the Fraternal Order of Police and the Teamsters. The two most well known for corruption. Saying "it serves them right" that a clean energy plant off the coast of Rhode Island was shut down just makes you look like a fucking idiot.

We should focus on the real fight then: stopping the Texans from their constant insistence on brisket.

EverRoast the UnMeat definitely sounds like some kind of eldritch horror lich pig. That could be the mascot for this new Metal AF veganism rebranding.

Hardback if it's something I absolutely must have on display in my library. Growing up, my grandfather had a room that was walled in floor to ceiling bookshelves, and it was my favorite thing. Paperback if it's something to read on the go (on the train, at lunch, etc). This is the selection process
