Makes literally no difference with regards to the copyright, — other than it falls into public domain by default if the person who owned the copyright of the footage is dead long enough.
 
Reminder that today tomorrow is the last day for Albertans to sign the petition to relinquish the constitutional right to leave Canada, even if Adolf Hitler himself comes back from the grave and somehow takes over Parliament and the Democrats take over the US and make it the last bastion of democracy (TM).
 
If you're worried about the state of the Canadian economy, I'd like to remind everyone that in Canada you have been given the right to a TFSA by the Harper government. This is the greatest wealth building tool any Canadian government has given the common man in our lifetimes. A TFSA lets you invest in securities, including USD based securities, TAX FREE. So if you buy $1,000 USD in shares in a US company for $1,397.75 CAD today, the value of the shares jump by 20% and the value of the Canadian dollar slips another 10-20%, you'd end up close to $2k CAD when you pull it out and wouldn't have to pay taxes on those gains. There are also ETFs available that are backed by precious metals or crypto. It can be a good hedge if you're worried about the Canadian Dollar dropping back to 1990s levels. You can see your current TFSA contribution room on the My CRA website.

I expect Albertans to freely give away their rights and happiness with a smile. Somehow Canadians will always find a way to choose the worst path and then quadruple down on it and tell you how it was in fact the correct choice. Words cannot express how much I hate my countrymen. If someone show me a delete Canada button i'd press it before they even explained what it did.

Don't tell the rich boomers who are boycotting Arizona and Florida and will instead end up in their Frozen Cabins.

Hopefully said boomers all freeze in their vacation cabins this Winter (I doubt many are as Fat as PPP)

I was reading some of the boomer comments about this trade war last night from a Facebook group.

Basically, a variation of delusional stick it up to trump comments with stuff like, "we should partner with SAB and build a factory here! (Sab went out of business years ago)"

It is so bizarre and out of touch with reality.

Those Boomers likely still think Nortel exists. Since every single boomer was invested in it just like every single boomer is invested in Brookfield.

No wonder Carney won over the Boomers, they'll invested in Brookfield and he delivered to them with Dividends.
 
Carney was in ASEAN signing MOU's and his supporters are clapping like seals because it's supposed to signal our turning away from the USA.

America's been in ASEAN for over 125 years, like the Philippines was a US colony, these people are seriously retarded.
 
Since when have legal rulings been just?

I hate to sound like one of the leftists, but like- most laws and supreme court decisions in the US or Canada are all just spin.

Was it just when the truckers got their lived perma fucked for wanting to reopen the economy while peacefully protesting?

It's all about power, and how to project it.

I'm sure the supreme court will rule in Trumps favour, and Canada will pay the fine.

This is bullying, plain and simple-

And I'm fine with it. Boomers FAFO
 
A warning for Canada- aka the danger of bad vibes one-shotting your country for decades to come.

When everyone believes that decline has set-in and the sucking sound of the US absorbing new graduates and investments becomes overwhelming, who will break that cycle, and in how many decades? One would hope that the passing of the Boomers will be accompanied with the passing of the Liberal era.

CAD might drop to 0.50 if oil taps out.

I dunno man I'm just tired of Canadian politics revolving around Trump. Half these fucks are literally running on platforms of "I will beef with Orange man" instead of, oh I don't know, CANADA'S PROBLEMS.

Because to admit canada has real problems would already violate the boomers liberal dream that canada is basically perfect and Acktually this country isn't a utopia compared to America if anything its doing worse in every single metric.
To admit that canada has cost of living higher than California and wages only considered fair in Mississippi would shatter the illusion. The canadian reaction to mass migration and the Indians doing everything to undermine the system shows that Canada's Niceness is worse at dealing witb immigration than ameircans occasional jingoism.
To basically admit Canada has real problems and it's not the Donald would break canadian politics.

Canadians unfortunately Albertans are no different genuinely trust their government and haven't built a healthy sense of distrust. Most canadians treat the anti government Dale dribble type like he's a dirty extremist who needs to be dealt with where ever in american circles there is this odd Respect for them even from some lefties. Canadians see themselves ultimately as more middle class and civilized even as things get worse for them then most of america.

Baby boomers and gen X are mouthpieces for the TV. The TV their lord and savior is more correct than you could be kiddo with your facts and internet. Why the CBC is totally trustworthy and why would you listen to that rebel news brother are you a crypto fascist who hates brown people. You're not canadian material. Boomers in many ways are still stuck in a canada that is in 2015 still.

Albertan's won't sign away their freedoms but the fucking 1.3 million Jeets that moved to Alberta over the last 3 year sure as fuck will.

How long until the Canada pension plan actually runs out? Officially it'll be a long time, but I bet that number doesn't include the immigrants who immediately go on pension.

I don't think you can get CPP without having paid into and iirc even the maximum monthly payout - that's based on how much you have contributed - is not very much. If immigrants come here, work for a year and retire the CPP payments is going to be like ten dollars, as I understand. Unless there's some special rule for them which wouldn't surprise me at all.

Yeah, it's not a lot. It's like 800 dollars a month or something. Which now is basically nothing, that's a heat and cable bill covered depending on where you live.

Next month has two or three interesting things happening, if you exclude what's going on in the states with EBT. The budget will happen on November 4 with a nonzero chance that it doesn't pass and a snap election is called, and around the 14th or 15th the King's Court will begin the constitutional review of the petition to secede from Canada.
