  4. I know, I know, the Fuhrer shall not be questioned or defied under any circumstances. Absolute obedience is the only solution. Buuuuut, these people have worked "for him" for 9 days at this point, so I strongly suspect that they haven't developed any "with cause" cases for termination based on insubordinance. Let's be real. You would have been in a tizzy if Biden had come into office and purged Republicans from government, because that's simply not the way things work in a first-world democracy. You should be similarly disturbed by "your guy" taking such actions. But you'll embarrass yourself by pretending like this is normal, reasonable behavior because it's convenient in the moment. You're not fooling anybody.

  5. So if Russia gets a big chunk (or all) of Ukraine they will not only have one of the largest reserve of oil in the world but also control of one of the largest food exporters in the world. I don't think the West wants that. And Europe wants that buffer zone. The U.S. won the Cold War by outspending the USSR. They can do the same now. At the same time, everywhere the U.S. retreats from, whether its military aid, humanitarian aid, trade deals,... China will step in to fill the void. Trump on Mt. Rushmore? More like Mt. Flushmore".

  6. If it gets to that stage in Canada, I can promise you there will be much bigger problems than culture wars and bogus claims of Canadian colonial genocide to worry about. The truth is that if Trump tries to use economic pressure to impose a state of affairs on Canada and multiple countries, as well as unfair trade rules, that Canadians and the peoples of other countries oppose, Canada will find many other willing partners with which to trade, including for oil, gas, and rare earth minerals. Canada will at that point become more independent from the U.S. and ride out the economic costs, because the population will be on a unified mission. The U.S. will pay an economic price and lose respect internationally, especially since this whole mess will be of the U.S.‘s making. If Trump chooses this course of action, the result will be a collapse of world markets and domestic demand in the U.S., as the realization hits that people can’t afford the higher costs and volatility. I don’t just guess this. I know it. Trump has an opportunity to forge new strong partnerships with Canada and other countries based on a more common sense set of common cultural values. There’s even a chance to expand opportunities for the citizens of both the U.S. and Canada through a new economic union. However, if this tariff brinksmanship goes off a cliff and hurts average Canadian families, Canada will become more independent from the U.S. and Americans will be resented. Canadians will adapt and they won’t forget. It’s a short window of opportunity for Trump. The bluster and pride could backfire, and other powers will fill the void left by a belligerent U.S.. The trade imbalance between the countries is exaggerated. This sabre rattling best die down before good hard working people get hurt, because if they are, it won’t end well for the U.S. and Canada will come out the other side. Decency and democracy win.

  7. Scientists call for more research into Covid vaccine side effects after unexplained spike in heart conditions | Daily Mail Online Canadian experts are calling for more research into heart damage linked to Covid vaccines. They fear the scale of the issue remains 'under-documented' because they say studies have been too narrow and haven't looked at the risk of these injuries months and years after receiving the shot. In rare cases, mRNA shots have been shown to cause myocarditis, inflammation of the heart muscle, and pericarditis, inflammation of the sac-like lining surrounding the heart. The side effect is rare but exactly how rare is still being debated. A major 2021 study in Israel put the rate at one in 50,000. They are calling for further research, noting that rates of the heat conditions globally have increased nearly 40 percent since the vaccines were rolled out in 2021 which needed to be explored for public health reasons. The scientists are all antivaxxers who deny the science. Stupid anti science scientists!!! Vote liberal!

  8. Two different models of democracy are right before our eyes. Big buck, the number of zeroes rules or the people think, discuss and decide. It's difficult to find an alternative without cutting into the essence. This project makes sense and I think the time is right not only to talk about it but to make real, practical steps. Your medications should cost a fortune yes of course it makes all the sense for you, we have the right to pump lies about smoking, guns, crazy conspiracies with no accountability. Or great transit, high speed trains, low cost food and medications, low cost or no cost education, great diversity, unified rules, thriving business and culture - a staple people expect it across the continent. This is the realities they can set side by side and examined. Eyes and brains, only two things.

  10. That's supposedly February 1st. According to trump anyway. He has indicated that he wishes to start a trade war and that he intends to try and force the people of Canada to become the 51st state through economic coercion. It's kind of been in the news. That was sort of a dumb thing to say

  15. this topic will be deemed trivial and only for nerds. its because there is no daily news, no outrage, etc. Yet 10 years down the road.. this will impact their daily lives in a direct and unavoidable way regardless of their political preferences. Its much like water rights in the West. Liberal or Conservative.. still need water unless you can prove otherwise.

  17. Awww...you poor thing. Did the whataboutism bug get you? Why would we keep these people? The Biden admin applied banana republic tactics to our legal system, tried to bypass the Republican primary process, did bypass the Democratic primary process, tried to subvert the national vote by removing Trump from the ballot in several states, forced social media companies to censor speech, jailed parents and labeled them domestic terrorists for objecting at school board meetings to boys in girls restroom and locker rooms, arrested protestors and gave them extensive jail time if they were perceived to be conservative while ignoring left wing attacks that burned down businesses, public buildings and more and so much more. If anyone participated in any of that, they are gone.

  30. My prediction is that if the tariffs go through after Canada already wasted $1.2 billion to buy helicopters and other overpriced crap to solve its fake border problem (there really isn’t one, and in any event the U.S. is supposed to manage who comes in as we have to manage what comes into Canada), then the result will be more government wasteful spending to postpone an inevitable result, which will be a major realignment away from US markets. It will mean Europe and South America, Asia and Africa. It will also mean more interprovincial trade. It will mean more refining capacity. It also means that all stupid fluff gets scrapped in a hurry: DEI, climate action,, etc. Those are good things. However if the overspending persists, we’ll be even more vulnerable to accepting lousy terms. If Canada amps up the spending long term and doesn’t adapt, then yes, it’s 51st state or worse. Canadians don’t understand how deep the problem is of our dependence on the U.S. or how grossly irresponsible this socialist government has been. We were in a good position under Harper: low debt, strong dollar, responsible government. Really we just have to get back to that, but our foolish Liberal government has played into the hands of someone who is good to take full advantage of our weakness. Getting us back to that pre-Trudeau position of strength is a very tall order right now. We, the U.S., and the world are in different positions. Personally, I suggest that our government take an open, honest look at what 51st state would mean right now, including how it would play out for our healthcare and social safety net, state rights and powers relative to a federal government in Washington, etc., as we should be looking at realistic options for Canada and what would be best long term. Alongside that option, we should lay out the costs of greater independence, which will be high, especially until we realign our economy. The other options are in between those two options, but because of our current vulnerability, some options may not be open to us if the U.S. won’t embrace them. We should know asap what realistic choices are in front of us instead of simply overspending now to postpone the inevitable. Canadians are still a highly educated, highly skilled people sitting on very precious real estate. Don’t underestimate what a unified, driven Canada can achieve, but the current leadership is irresponsible and out of ideas. A new Conservative government will have a strong mandate for change, including some sacrifices early on.

  31. Every other American movie has if not God then Caesar-like president. Executive orders, unlimited privilege of pardons, now above the law and beyond all effective checks. At last it settled into the brains of pueblo. Goebbells invented mass propaganda and big buck in America took it much further though in more subtle ways.

  34. "Trusted News Initiative". BBC started it, and they got The European Broadcast Union, CBC, NYT, WashPo, CBC, Reuters, AP, Google, FB, Twitter (pre-Musk), YouTube, MSN news, etc involved in it. They all "work together to combat election and covid disinformation", such as the Hunter laptop story and any and all information pertaining to the BSL4 lab in Wuhan 😉. If you do a Google search, "chances are" that the results it brings up on page 1 are from the other TNI members.

  37. But you're probably wrong. As I pointed out the earlier readings made an interesting comment to the effect that the amendment grants them citizenship and nothing was done to remove it in essence. In other words there's no barrier that says that such citizenship can't be instantly revoked under certain circumstances. There are challenges with this but not insurmountable. In addition it has never been tested that people in the country illegally would count when we're talking about jurisdiction and it can be argued that they wouldn't be. That doesn't mean he's guaranteed to win, but there are at least a few very strong cases that could go before the supreme court and have a good chance of winning without any amendments to the constitution

  41. "Gazans" get way more resources than they need, they just spend all their money on weapons to commit terrorist attacks, and dig tunnels, dummy. https://nationalpost.com/news/world/israel-middle-east/hamas-leaders-wealth You go ahead and find that info from CNN, CBC, MSNBC, Xinhua, or your islamic state daily news subscription, I don't care, the rest of the adults are going to consider Nat Post a 'source'. It also estimates the net worth of several Hamas leaders — all of whom, it notes, live hundreds of kilometres from Gaza, in Qatar. Abu Marzuk, deputy chair of the Hamas Political Bureau is worth $3 billion, while senior leaders Khaled Mashal and Ismail Haniyeh are each worth about $4 billion. I doubt if those guys are really worth that much, but then again, they don't need money in Iran anyways because they get free everything for life there.

  42. the problem is not money, the problem is throughput capacity DND simply doesn't have the personnel anymore to buy kit for the military at an accelerated pace they can't just ignore the rules, they have to follow the process of trials, testing & creating support infrastructure while the CAF simply doesn't have the personnel anymore to train for & operate new equipment this is why DND actually returns money to the treasury every year ; they can't even spend the budget that they are allotted already to wit, all war is logistics in the end
