Funny you mention about Quebec. If anything, Quebec is the one will refuse to join US. Quebec value its French heritage and French language, it is incompatible with US. Unless US is willing to accept French as its official languages.

Probably much like in the 1980s when the "51st state" movement/party in Quebec was formed. It wasn't going to happen then and I highly doubt it's going to happen today or with Canada overall. General discussions, debates, articles, polls, etc. about Canada becoming the "51st state" have been around for ages but there is still no 51st state.


Oh no. The trade between China and Russian was relative small until invasion of Ukraine. With all the sanctions, Chinese companies took the vacuum left by western companies.

The majority of staffs that China import from Russia is energy, whereas China export almost everything else that Russian needs for everyday life. From smartphone to cars, from appliances to soda, you name it.

As I stated, China and Russia had gotten much closer economically and militarily during the Biden years. The Biden years included the 2022 Russia invasion of Ukraine and the signing of the China/Russia "no limits" partnership on political, economic/trade, and military cooperation.

Nonsense. Not everything on a late night talk show is meant to be funny and his comment was not a joke. It was part of a straightforward conversation with Collins about CNN news reporting. After the audience laughed, Collins even asked if his statement was supposed to be a "laugh line" and Colbert said it wasn't supposed to be. The audience reaction was clearly a reflection of how news reporting is polluted with biases, agendas, etc. and is a reason why trust in the media to report news "fully, accurately and fairly" has been at or near record lows. Way below what it once was. While the Colbert/Collins discussion was about CNN news reporting, it is far from just a CNN issue.

If you can't recognize this then there's no point in continuing this discussion.
How does that change the fact that it's an anecdote and not data? Has Colbert's audience done a scientific analysis of the bias in various popular news sources?

And why do you keep arguing a tangent instead of the question that I asked?
