Do they even know the Russian flag? Or do they still think the Soviet Union is a thing?

Theres no way they could be well integrated yet. They don’t even know what telegram is! Let alone a smart phone.

I was hoping this would happen

They would have immigrants primarily from other parts of asia most likely

Rip Nicol 😔

I dont have twitter, how do community notes work as apposed to regular comments?

I want to be able to rate games as ‘meh’, a lot of games i dont feel strongly enough to say its outright good or bad.

Example: there is an extremely highly rated game from a few years ago that i got around to playing, but to me it was just okay and i’ll probably never get around to finishing it. Based on my achievement progress i find it highly unlikely that 95% of the reviewers have finished the game either. They probably reviewed it after playing for an hour.

I dont want to review it as good or bad so instead i just wont.

But if 0 is bad and 1 is good then tallying 0.5 as meh shouldnt be that hard.

All for a 2 paragraph article, i spent longer unchecking the fucking boxes

Content never really dies, it’s just recycled to lower and lower tiers.

They did this one with the 3 aubergines 🍆🍆🍆

Increased barriers for trade will reduce the number of businesses wanting to do business in the region (different rules, regulations,.and red tape)

They would also create their own currency eventually, so that introduces exchange rate problems. A single currency is almost always better for economic cooperation between states as it removes the uncertainty for long term contracts. Like before the Euro if a german company and an italian company wanted to do business they would have to use 2 different currencies, if one country sufferered a banking crisis that would basically screw over the other as their investment would then be worth a lot less. The UK already had their own currency so this part would actually be worse for Quebec.

Lastly there would be brain drain. Now Quebec is the 2nd most prepared province to go off on its own (diversified economy, warm water ports) but its still a bad idea economically. Despite being a net contributer to the EU budget the UK cant make up for the money the EU gave to the UKs poorer regions, or invested in the countries institutions and industries. Its highly likely the same would happen here. And with the xenophobia for non francophones no longer able to be limited to people from outside Canada i suspect a lot of non Quebecois would leave. Skilled labor being so economically valuable this would just do further damage. Much like the UK outside the union it is harder for them to attract skilled labor from the continent and they are actually now in a net loss for skilled workers dispite increasing immigration.

So no… not at all…

Edit: those rules and regulations i mentioned in the first part im sure would include something about mandating French be used (at least at first) for businesses. The global economy is based on the English language. I work, as a Canadian, in Germany for a Germany company, i work in English every day. my German boss went to China on a business trip, they spoke to every professional the met in English. So while many Quebecois might see independence as preserving their language… That will fall away really quick when they realize the economy is more important. Ironically Quebec is probably more insulated from English by being a part of Canada.

In the way that brexit made sense yes…

Yes i am a “monthly” user of facebook. I log on about once a month as the strata for my building foes basically everything through facebook.

I look at it like internet explorer a few years ago, it has its claws in everything and its just easier to keep using than for people to find an alternative that satisfys everyone.

Oh don’t worry im sure there will be a confession soon… Under totally normal circumstances…

Will only join nato if the country is attacked… Mm yeah okay… by Austria then?

Wont allow for reexport of its weapons. Sounds like a good reason to stop buying them.

Switzerland is in for some real pain the next few years with a lot of their treatys with the EU expiring, and one side or the other refusing renewal, they might want to consider trying to be likeable at some point. Sure they have a strong economy, but thats only as long as their neighbors continue to tolerate them, if trade barriers and tighter banking rules pop up they might be in for some real hurt in the wallet… The only pain the swiss care about.

Infact, forget the democracy!

Discounting VPNs for a moment…

What if one person made an account with ID and then the entirety of the country just happened to know the login?
