The Hibou Bleu cafe had long been a popular gathering spot for Canadian Activists of all stripes, indeed the MPF had been planning a raid in October out of suspicion that the AUNF was organizing attacks from it. The Montreal Defense Front, a city wide group nominally against all extremism but in practice affiliated with the CLCU, had no such qualms about planning. The two bombs went off and ripped through the cafe, killing over 30 people and injuring almost 200. Canadian Nationalist Groups responded with the All Hallows Bombing Campaign that returned Les Luttes to Montreal following a two year lull. Relative Moderates in the CLCU who were disgusted by the main organization's refusal to condemn the attack led to the formation of the Citizen's Party of Canada, leading the ultimately fruitless peace talks in Burlington.

The Hibou Bleu bombing remain the second deadliest attack in Montreal.

I thought the "time bombs" were some sort of bomb that sent everything in the radius back in time, or altered the space-time continuum, or something like that for a second, till I realized it was simply a bomb with a timer.
 
Being close at one point in one poll does not a plausible victory make. Secondly, moderates are going to be more attuned to Dewhurst than they were to Abbott, so that's gain.

Do you have any proof that conservative candidates do worse than establishment ones at elections?

Third, Davis can be as moderate as she wants on whatever issue, but voters and activists know her the most primarily for one.

There's a difference between opposing heavy restrictions on clinics and favoring late term abortions. If you can spot it, I'll give you a cookie.

As for Louisiana, the comparison is ridiculous, because not only did Bill Clinton win the state twice, but control of the state house and governorship have alternated more frequently more recently in Louisiana than in Texas.

While the Clinton example is sort of frivolous, I'll bite. While Clinton won Louisiana, he also came in a 3 point margin in Texas in 1992, and a 5 point margin in 1996. John Bel Edwards won his election by a greater margin than both. Also, the last Democratic Louisiana Governor was a one-termer in 2004. Does that also make Charlie Baker ASB because Mass Reps haven't taken the state house in decades?

Further, if you're agreeing that the scenario is not realistic, then your rebuttal is essentially semantics.

There's a line between something being unrealistic and something being ASB. The two are not equal. I'm not sure what point you're trying to prove, but using the two interchangeably doesn't move this discussion anywhere.

It's common sense. Parties in the U.S. often put forward candidates with appeal beyond the base for exactly this reason.

True, but the bill, as I recall, dealt with both.

No, but by admitting that LOuisiana has a stronger Democratic lean, you're proving my point. Remember, Perot garnered considerable support in both of his runs in Texas, and Landrieu lost reelection in Louisiana due to Katrina. The last Democrat reelected governor of Texas was Dolph Briscoe in the seventies.

The two aren't equal, but with no explanation as to how an unlikely sequence of events occurred, one can easily conclude ASB.
 
WARNING: Contains spoilers for the Remembrance of Earth's Past series by Liu Cixin, especially the third book, Death's End.
























While the overwhelming majority of Earth inhabitants complied with the demands of the Trisolarians and their human collaborators (collectively referred to as the Earth Security Forces) during the Great Resettlement, some humans refused to cooperate. Many of these were non-violent resisters, who viewed violent resistance as futile, but refused Resettlement to Australia due to political or religious reasons. Casualty rates were nearly 100% among non-violent resisters. Those brave few who chose to take up arms against the Trisolarians, retroactively referred to as the Earth Resistance Movement, hardly fared better. But the patriotic struggle of the ERM in the face of Trisolarian tyranny caused them to be viewed as heroes by the surviving members of humanity in the aftermath of the war even as a debate over the moral nature of the conflict emerged later on. Many ERM fighters would go on to become successful politicians. The imagery and example of the ERM was frequently used by Internationalists in the following decades, ultimately helping to form an ideological foundation for the abolition of the Westphalian system of nation-states during the later years of the Broadcast Era.
