I tried to get on with this "Buy Canadian" protest. But ketchup, a basic north American staples far as I'm concerned, has no major Canadian only manufacturers. The only stuff you can find is boutique stuff that's like 10 bucks for 500ml. and you have to have it shipped to you.

I think it has become pretty clear That corporations have completely taken over the U.S.

I have wondered what their end game was, and now I got it. They don't care about politics or policy. All they wanted was full complete access to the most powerful item America has.

It's Economic power.

They see how America "controls" most of the economies of the world. THAT is the power they crave. They HAVE to add that extra zero to their balance sheet no matter what. Tariffs against Mexico, Canada and China are a test run. To see how well their expectations are met, after all nobody who matters is gonna suffer right?

Unfortunately, they forgot one thing. Most other democratic counties are still democratic. Sure we all have corporate penetration at some level, but WE don't have their personally chosen puppet master standing behind our world leader. And we especially don't like it when someone is telling us what to do.

Canada is now officially looking to break as many financial ties with america as it can, and is opening up trade to as many Asian and European partners as they can. Mexico is doing the same.

There are only two outcomes that are going to happen in this scenario. Either way, america is going to be the big loser.

Scenario 1: They try for the full four years to force the rest of the world to bend the knee (they will of course fail)

scenario 2 however...

scenario 2: they go militaristic.

Here is why the Canadian "51st state" rhetoric should be concerning everybody. Especially Americans.

They are trying to set up a "Ukraine 2.0" situation should they need it. Why? Because they have access to all the Data about climate change. And Canada has in abundance the resources the states will need survive it all. bigger country but a VASTLY smaller population. I mean what could go wrong right? I mean sure the Russians fucked it up, but we're americans right!? We have the most powerful army in the world!

Because nobody learned anything from Afghanistan...

But here's the real reason why ALL Americans should be concerned. Guess what they can suspend during a "time of war?" That's right, the Constitution. SO guess who would get to hold onto the reigns of power until the "war" over?" Their puppet.

I am going to close with this. I have worked with alot of ex Canadian military guys, one guy was a retired Colonel in the Army. He told me a story about one day when they were at a training exercise with the American military. It was after hours and all the leadership got together for a little "Get to know you" function. drinks were flowing liberally, and after imbibing some, he was talking to an American General. And point blank asked him what he thought would happen if they ever tried to invade Canada? His answer was one simple sentence...

"We'd take her, but we'd never be able to keep her."

The answer is yes.

I know this is weird, but someone whom I follow, I recently discovered had an OF.

Now I'm not knocking them for it. It's just that everything they present to the public is the complete opposite of someone whom (purely in my opinion) would never do something like that.

I dunno it's just something odd I wasn't expecting.

*Edit: Fuck it. It's Alice Winterhold. There. Are you happy now? Perhaps you'll understand now...

I recently bought a 7600XT so I have AMD's Adrenaline. Now when I play Ghost Recon Breakpoint. According to AMD's software I'm getting between 290 to 310 FPS.

But when I play Breakpoint, the in game FPS counter says only between 90 to 100 FPS. So,

1. Why the Discrepancy? and
2. Which one is right?
