  1. It's hard to find, but before that wrong way Joe approached a Marine who saluted him and tried to salute him back but started to use the wrong hand so he put it down and then tried to use the wrong hand again so he put it down and then he just stood there. So the marine finished his salute and motioned for Biden to go to the mariners left only to start to go the wrong way. Then he almost stood fscing the wrong direction before shuffling ahead early so the PM and Marine had to pretend that was on purpose and just catch up.

  2. No need to be extreme. No one is trying to sell that to anyone. Finland has one of the most powerful militaries in Europe with a population the size of BC. Surely we can find something between what we have now and your hysterical trillion dollars. Conscription is regarded as a good thing in many countries. In 2013, Switzerland had a referendum on abolishing conscription. 73% voted to keep it.

  6. I think this is an important topic. I feel like most of the people in the world were greatly affected by it. We both know that Fauci lied to the world dozens of times, and that his lies hurt a lot of people. Thousands. Maybe tens of thousands. No one even knows because the number of vax-injured remains a mystery that's shrouded in lies and secrecy. But you don't care. I forgot.

  8. I think there'll always be an expectation that Canadians should still do the responsible thing when a more collective approach is called for, as in the case of any other emergency. I think COVID made it clear that a sense of their shared responsibility is what Canadians abandoned. Given the power of hindsight perhaps we can come up with better ways of checking all the misinformation that compels so many people to mistrust their governments - we already know that misinformation about vaccines and alternative 'remedies' led to thousands of deaths and hospitalizations not to mention the billions of dollars that cost. But of course better transparency and accountability is something we should always be working on constantly. I think it's clear as day that if we don't address public mistrust and another even deadlier event happens sooner rather than later that it'll make COVID look like it was only a bad flu that killed a few old farts. I still get the sense some people think COVID was an opportunity lost and that we should have let it rip.

  9. Bloomberg: US Slams Strikes on Russia Oil Refineries as Risk to Oil Markets While Russia's brutal attacks take daily toll on the cities and towns, civilians in the heart of Europe of this century, the statement comes out as both callous and hypocritical. "Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin warned that Ukraine’s recent attacks on Russian oil refineries risk impacting global energy markets and urged the country to focus on military targets instead" Did PM Churchill and President F. D. Roosevelt know that they shouldn't have attacked the enemy's industrial facilities, fully contributing to his inhumane brutality and "focus on the military targets, instead"? What wars has Chief Ostin won recently, compared to the aforementioned leaders, to merit such a precious advice, a question begs? Sad and dangerous, in this time of unprecedented turbulence that the United States appears to be on the track to loose itself; it's long-standing principles; commitments; will and resolve to act. Through senile impotence or outright insanity: does it really matter?

  12. You are the one ignoring the facts of history that falsely insinuating that Israel has ever offered or been interested in peace or never engaged in terrorism of its own You ignore the facts that many of Israel’s founding fathers were also terrorists who slaughtered Arab civilians and bombed British soldiers and are now revered as national heroes. And of course once they formed a nation state Israel had the luxury of using military and paramilitary forces and occupation and oppression instead of terrorism but you make no reference these facts either Then you absurdly claim they had the option “to live in peace within the borders they have” which is something Putin might say about Ukraine. What you really mean is they could choose to live under oppression and occupation within the borders unilaterally dictated to it by Israel and in contravention of international law.

  13. So what do we have here? A severed Trump head. A woman that fantasizes about making a terror attack. A congress woman that incites violence. Some nut job that can't handle the results of an election. A Trump in diapers balloon? A guy that paid people to attack him so he could blame Trump. A guy that lied about having a pee tape and still refuses to acknowledge he lied. But Trump saying we need to secure the border, lower taxes, simplify regulations and play nice internationally is unhinged.

  16. The tragic Middle East miscalculation: Mistaking Netanyahu for Israel … The very understandable and necessary desire to provide security to the 10 million people of Israel after this century’s most grievous massacre of Jewish civilians led Mr. Biden to give succour, material support and political legitimacy to the not-very-legitimate leader of those 10 million people – a man who 86 per cent of Israelis hold responsible for the Oct. 7massacre. In other conflicts, the distinction between a country and its leader would be irrelevant. But as of Oct. 6, 2023, Mr. Netanyahu, and the coalition of extremist fringe parties he had assembled into a government, was Israel’s biggest problem. He is, as prominent Israelis have repeatedly warned, the worst possible person to be called on to respond to an atrocity. “In the years leading up to the attack, the country was fractured by Netanyahu’s effort to undermine its democratic institutions and turn it into a theocratic, nationalist autocracy,” Aluf Benn, editor of the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, writes in an essay this week. Not only is Mr. Netanyahu not at all representative of Israel or its people (his party has rarely received more than 25 per cent of votes, and governs with even less popular parties), but he has used his office to undermine any prospects for long-term peace and security. As a consequence of those politics, Mr. Netanyahu has pursued a military response without apparent strategy or end game, one that has shown no concern for the excessive deaths of civilian families and aid workers or the prospect of further popularizing Hamas and other extremist groups. Mr. Netanyahu has “promised to ‘destroy Hamas,’ but beyond military force, he has no strategy for eliminating the group and no clear plan for what would replace it,” Mr. Benn writes. “He has refused to lay out a postwar vision or order.” Before Oct. 7, Mr. Netanyahu not only ignored and played down security threats at the Gaza border, but actively cultivated the violent religious-extremist movement Hamas in an effort to sideline the Palestinian Authority, which recognizes Israel. For years, Israelis have read news reports of Qatari cash being delivered with the help of Israeli agents to Hamas leaders at Mr. Netanyahu’s behest, a practice the Prime Minister defended in a 2019 address to his party’s parliamentary caucus: “Whoever opposes a Palestinian state must support delivery of funds to [Hamas] because maintaining separation between the PA in the West Bank and Hamas in Gaza will prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state.” …. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/amp/opinion/article-the-tragic-mideast-miscalculation-mistaking-netanyahu-for-israel/ Israel’s Self-Destruction Netanyahu, the Palestinians, and the Price of Neglect By Aluf Benn March/April 2024Published on February 7, 2024 …Having failed to stop the Hamas attack, the IDF has responded with overwhelming force, killing thousands of Palestinians and razing entire Gazan neighborhoods. But even as pilots drop bombs and commandos flush out Hamas’s tunnels, the Israeli government has not reckoned with the enmity that produced the attack—or what policies might prevent another. Its silence comes at the behest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has refused to lay out a postwar vision or order. Netanyahu has promised to “destroy Hamas,” but beyond military force, he has no strategy for eliminating the group and no clear plan for what would replace it as the de facto government of postwar Gaza. His failure to strategize is no accident. Nor is it an act of political expediency designed to keep his right-wing coalition together. To live in peace, Israel will have to finally come to terms with the Palestinians, and that is something Netanyahu has opposed throughout his career. He has devoted his tenure as prime minister, the longest in Israeli history, to undermining and sidelining the Palestinian national movement. He has promised his people that they can prosper without peace. He has sold the country on the idea that it can continue to occupy Palestinian lands forever at little domestic or international cost. And even now, in the wake of October 7, he has not changed this message. The only thing Netanyahu has said Israel will do after the war is maintain a “security perimeter” around Gaza—a thinly veiled euphemism for long-term occupation, including a cordon along the border that will eat up a big chunk of scarce Palestinian land. …Back in office, Netanyahu offered Israelis a convenient alternative to the now discredited “land for peace” formula. Israel, he argued, could prosper as a Western-style country—and even reach out to the Arab world at large—while pushing aside the Palestinians. The key was to divide and conquer. In the West Bank, Netanyahu maintained security cooperation with the Palestinian Authority, which became Israel’s de facto policing and social services subcontractor, and he encouraged Qatar to fund Gaza’s Hamas government. “Whoever opposes a Palestinian state must support delivery of funds to Gaza because maintaining separation between the PA in the West Bank and Hamas in Gaza will prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state,” Netanyahu told his party’s parliamentary caucus in 2019. It is a statement that has come back to haunt him. …As he sidelined the Palestinian issue, Netanyahu also worked to remake Israel’s domestic society. After winning a surprise reelection in 2015, Netanyahu put together a right-wing coalition to revive his old dream of igniting a conservative revolution. Once again, the prime minister began railing against “the elites” and initiated a culture war against the erstwhile establishment, which he viewed as hostile to himself and too liberal for his supporters. In 2018, he won passage of a major, controversial law that defined Israel as “the Nation-State of the Jewish People” and declared that Jews had the “unique” right to “exercise self-determination” in its territory. It gave the country’s Jewish majority precedence and subordinated its non-Jewish people. …. For Netanyahu, still facing trial, the government’s collapse was exactly what he had been hoping for. As the country organized yet another election, he fortified his base of right-wingers, ultra-Orthodox Jews, and socially conservative Jews. To win back power, he reached out in particular to West Bank settlers, a demographic that still saw the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as its raison d’être. These religious Zionists remained committed to their dream of Judaizing the occupied territories and making them a formal part of Israel. They hoped that if given the opportunity, they could drive out the territories’ Palestinian population. They had failed to prevent an evacuation of Jewish settlers from Gaza in 2005 when Ariel Sharon was prime minister, but in the years since, they had gradually captured key positions in the Israeli military, civil service, and media as members of the secular establishment shifted their focus to making money in the private sector. The extremists had two principal demands of Netanyahu. The first, and most obvious, was to further expand Jewish settlements. The second was to establish a stronger Jewish presence on the Temple Mount, the historic site of both the Jewish Temple and the Muslim mosque of al Aqsa in Jerusalem’s Old City. …. In May 2021, violence erupted again. This time, the main provocateur was Itamar Ben-Gvir, a far-right politician who has publicly celebrated Jewish terrorists. Ben-Gvir had opened a “parliamentary office” in a Palestinian neighborhood in East Jerusalem where Jewish settlers, using old property deeds, have pushed out some residents, and Palestinians held mass protests in response. After hundreds of demonstrators gathered at al Aqsa, Israeli police raided the mosque compound. As a result, fighting erupted between Arabs and Jews and quickly spread to ethnically mixed towns across Israel. Hamas used the raid as an excuse to target Jerusalem with rockets, which brought yet more violence in Israel and another round of Israeli reprisals in Gaza. Still, the fighting dissipated when Israel and Hamas reached a new cease-fire in shockingly quick order. Qatar kept up its payments, and Israel gave work permits to some Gazans to improve the strip’s economy and reduce the population’s desire for conflict. Hamas stood by when Israel hit an allied militia, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, in the spring of 2023. The relative quiet along the border allowed the IDF to redeploy its forces and move most combat battalions to the West Bank, where they could protect settlers from terrorist attacks. On October 7, it became clear those redeployments were exactly what Sinwar wanted. … https://www.foreignaffairs.com/israel/israels-netanyahu-self-destruction

Pee Pee has been safely ensconced in his publicly funded sinecure since he was 24 years old. He's never had a real job, started a business, nothing.

  21. it just doesn't make any logical sense the only threat of invasion to Canada is America but America has so much leverage over Canada, America would not need to invade to bring Canada to its knees so a large standing army is useless in terms of a massive thermonuclear deterrent, America already defends the entire hemisphere with that so there is no need for Canada to duplicate the American deterrent in terms of not being involved in wars ; Canada has always fought other peoples wars overseas so the defence of Canada itself never precludes Canada from being involved in war, roughly one every generation

  22. One reason few want to join the Canadian Forces is because of their DEI and LGBTQ policies. Mixing women with men in the CAF was a mistake. Men and women should be in separate branches of the armed forces. I think that is the way it was in WW2. It is unnatural to mix men and women together and not expect sexual abuse and other problems.

  28. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/biden-relies-on-reporter-list-notes-during-white-house-joint-press-conference-with-japanese-pm/ar-BB1ls1Ot Yesterday when Joe Biden was at the WH with the PM of Japan, he "took some questions from reporters" lol. Unlike the ice cream cone questions, where he can study the pre-scripted for hours and then rattle off the answer off the top of his head in one or two takes, there were too many Q's to remember the answers to so they just said "F-U, America, we're gonna fake this right in front of your stupid faces." Joe literally had to shuffle through his notes to see which reporter he was supposed to take his question from, then after the pre-scripted Q was asked, he read the answer right off of his notes. There was no attempt whatsoever from the WH to pretend that Joe Biden was answering that pre-scritped question on his own. Leftards here can't weasel out of the fact that the whole Q and A session was a joke and America was the punchline. And Biden didn't just get the questions in advance, like Hillary during a debate, he had the answers to the fake questions right in his hand... 😂 Can leftards try to make the case that Joke Acosta was asking pre-scripted questions? Biden is done now. He's not gonna cross the finish line. There's nothing left. They can indict him for whatever they want now to gain some fake credibility, because he's not gonna be president long no matter what.

  30. Parliament has very right to "grill" the CEO's Besides, BCE gets hundreds of millions form Governmental so the government has every right to ask why they lay off thousands of people and increase prices and still accept lots of money from them. they needed to explain themselves and their actions. Laying off people, accepting government money and giving shareholders profit money. You didn't fly off the handle when the CEO's of grocery chains were called before parliament. That has nothing to do with socialism or Marxism. It has everything to do with what are you doing with all the money we gave you. Your single minded obsession with socialism and marxism prevents you from understanding all governments are supposed to give its citizens what they want.

The vaccine was useful for slowing the spread for original covid but that had largely gone out the door by the time delta showed up whcih was right when we were doing mass deployment and forcing people to take it. And it had zero benefit at all in stopping the spread for omicron So - fail. Got anything else? NO? Well there you go - no valid reason. And this is what they used to force people to take it:

  36. Definitely me. There was always a perfectly good valid reason for vaccine mandates, to prevent the spread of disease and death. That said you can be quite certain there was never any need to resort to using these when vaccinating people. The MSM stopped talking about COVID in 2022? Not on the planet I live.

  37. If he was gonna be able to make it across the finish line and get elected they'd never ring him up, they'd let him run just to get their own VP into the WH, but he's running out of gas. The Dems saw Al Franken's boob shadowing pic as an opportunity to sacrifice a minor politician for the appearance of respectability of the whole party, so they ran him outta town. When the Dems saw that Gov Cuomo's covid skeletons were coming out of the closet they pretended that they had to get rid of him because he touched a couple of girls' butts: "Oh look, we're too good for that kind of nonsense." I just think that if Biden's not going to be able to run in November anyways on account of his diminishing mental faculties, they will have the opportunity to pretend to turf him for his mishandling of confidential information, thus making their own case against Trump stronger. They can say: "We got rid of our own guy because what he did was unacceptable, and we think that what Trump did was also inexcusable." The Dems will throw anyone under the bus to get what they want. If they have something to gain from doing Biden dirty, he'll get the shiv.

I think you'll find France rejoined NATO in it's military capabilities only...it does not participated in decision making abilities but it does send troops into NATO conflicts... Your worlds may of changed, our world is still the same only some players have shifted around...leaving NATO would not have any benefits to Canada or our economy, i mean we are part of the club but do not respect any of the rules...were free loaders 99 % of the time...that part is what has changed...from doing our part to doing barely anything.
