It would be animal abuse at worst. So just make sure it’s fast, clean, and humane. ;)

It’s not the biggest or the fanciest pizza, but it gets the job done!

?

I try and keep my pizza dough between 62%-64% humid, so for a single pie I do:

225g of a higher gluten bread flour (Robin Hood White Bread Flour) 6g Salt 144g Warm Water ~5g Yeast

Then cooked on a stone on the top rack in my normal oven at ~290C/550F which is as hot as it goes.

For the sauce I start with little grape tomatoes, squish the seeds and liquid out, and blend them up before reducing down with a pinch of Salt, Oregano, Olive Oil, a splash of Red Wine Vinegar, some White Sugar to balance it, and Black Pepper.

This pizza is made with 100% Canadian ingredients BTW, just in case there is any confusion

Edit: Except the olive oil. That was from Portugal, due to climate limitations.

Just peeled, rinsed, tossed in olive oil with an oodle of salt and some paprika, and cooked in the oven.

That still doesn’t make it undemocratic. If anything, whipped votes are the undemocratic part. Crossing the floor is a feature of our democracy, not a bug.

The US has spent a lot of time and effort trying to stamp out left-wing governments around the world. Here’s a decent summary of their involvement in South and Central America: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_involvement_in_regime_change_in_Latin_America

Do they mean getting a taxi to/from the party? So you can get ham-diddly-hammered and get home? That’s what one of my companies did

People seem to think that supporting a social justice cause somehow makes them left of centre. It doesn’t. The US has spent a lot of time and money trying to stamp out governments with left of centre economic policies for many decades and has framed anything even remotely socialist as full-blown authoritarian communist butcher-dictator, and therefore anything short of full capitalism and privatisation of everything is bad. They over-thew social democracies in Latin America and installed brutal military dictatorships to privatise and sell of the resources. They napalmed Vietnam because something-something commies. The US has no concept of what left-of-centre is because they have bombed, raped, and pillaged pretty much everything that resembles left-of-centre in this world. I even hear people in the US calling themselves ‘left of centre’ and then finish their sentence hating on socialism - which is a pretty broad spectrum of ideology.

It took ~16 years for Chile to get rid of their US installed military dictatorship when the US decided to ruin their popular social democracy and slaughter people and fuck up countless lives. And much longer to rebuild after Pinochet fell. I wouldn’t be suprised if it takes at least 16 years for parts of the US to start crawling out of their current dictatorship (with or without donny). And it sure looks like it’s going to be just as brutal if not more. It’s just getting started and there is a very long way for them to fall. 2025 is going to look like a very tame year compared to what is coming, I suspect.

And corn. The little sweet bursts of the corn just adds a whole dimension of delicious to a chili.

People like that really do make society worse for eveybody.

Well, that’s awfully fucked up and terrifying.

I think stays longer than 90 days already require a different visa, in which case you would have already registered and been screened before that visa was issued.

The US wines at my local liquor store have been replaced with a substantial increase to the Chilean wine section and a bunch of new Portuguese wines, among other expansions. Plus a decent expansion of the craft beer selection with more local offerings it’s not all just IPAs anymore. For a small town liquor store it’s been a refreshing change to see some new and more diverse offerings. Some more BC wine would be nice too, but now I’m just getting greedy. Overall, I’d say ditching US alcohol has resulted in better selection at the store and I wouldn’t want to bring their booze back even if the US magically gave up on fascism tonight, cleaned up the country, and apologized to every country they’ve ever disrespected, threatened, invaded, bombed, meddled in, or otherwise fucked with any capacity, and all got together hand in hand like the Who’s down in Whoville and sang O Canada.

Fixing the electoral system and having another left-of-centre party don’t have to be mutually exclusive. I’d like to see both. And maybe a few more parties that represent other peoples perspectives so that we can do away with majority governments and let parties work together and make compromises to govern instead of the constant political ping-pong of majority governments undoing everything of the previous government and the constant negativity and attacks and tantrums. And I’m talking about a moderate, democratic, socialist party. Not some authoritarian communist party.
