I'm wondering how many people are actually active on here. We have a few regular posters and some who like articles quite regularly but I think the majority of our subscribers seldom or never visit.
The Lions Locals was set up as a continuation after Danielle Smith closed down Danielle Smith Locals after becoming politically vulnerable.
For a time we maintained connections but lately this seems to have faded away to where there's only a small remnant active, and I suspect many have drifted off to other sites.
Vote to see the results, and give us your thoughts in the comments below.
As of Saturday morning, 42 people have replied, Meaning that at least 42 people visited in the last several days. The vast majority feel that the site has value and, interestingly, those who said that the site has outlived its usefulness visit and participate anyhow.
42 people visiting over a few days seems to justify the effort that members put into posting and offer encouragment. The favorable comments are much appreciated.
46 replies (latest count) in a few days isn't too bad. Indicates quite a few of us are here often, actually.
What I wonder about is the people who voted that the site has outlived its usefulness but are here just the same. Also I wonder how many people came and read the message and didn't vote. When I visualize 45 people in a room, that seems like a respectable crowd for a small get together.

This was predictable. The US is going to back this guy and punish those who bet against. him. His example is too important for the current US administration for them to allow him to fail. A lot of people got whiplashed and it was foreseeable.
You can hardly blame the people who are running to save their money but I think this time might be different.
Is US monetary muscle going to be enough to turn the elections in his favor?
Hard to say.
You know how fickle the populations are.
One minute Canadians were favoring Pierre Poilievre, but the very next minute they were doing the chicken dance and voting for a WEF sockpuppet.
(And the amazing thing is that they don't even know how badly they screwed themselves).
