^^Coming from a guy who hasn't mastered a single word in his native language that has more than 6 letters in it.

It was so wrong, the FBI dismissed any possibility that it was true. She was a liar trying to create a fake accusation before the election.

Just a few facts: "Canada is committed to reaching the NATO target of spending 2% of its GDP on defence by 2032. While this 2032 deadline was officially established, recent pressure and updated plans have seen discussions to potentially accelerate this timeline to 2027 or 2030. Original Commitment: The federal government formally committed in 2024 to hit the 2% target by 2032. Accelerated Goals: In early 2025, Defence Minister Bill Blair indicated a desire to move this timeline up to 2027, and other political figures have aimed for 2030." "Canada officially agreed to NATO's 2035 commitment to raise defence spending to 5% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at the NATO Summit in June 2025, with Prime Minister Mark Carney announcing the pledge, which includes increasing core military spending to 3.5% of GDP and related security investments to 1.5% by 2035. This significant commitment aims to bolster NATO's readiness and strategic autonomy, building on earlier pledges to reach 2% of GDP." https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/defence-spending-two-percent-defence-spending-target-1.7440870 https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/defence-spending-two-percent-defence-spending-target-1.7440870 "

Canada misses NATO 2% gdp defence spending target despite promises from Carney government When carney was campaigning and the whole 2% 5% thing was being discussed there were a number of people here who support the military and believe this was excellent news because this dispense spending was absolutely needed and the military's problem was solved. I pointed out to some of those people at the time that they did not understand what was happening or what Carney would do and there was no way they would get with they thought they were going to get. There would be some minor improvements and the money would be funneled elsewhere. They will spend just enough to make it look like they're going to spend enough and they're not too distant future I hate to say I told you so, but I told you so. This is going to continue. Well there may be some improvements we're never going to see actual military spending on military things increase nearly as much as those who are all excited about Carney and thought he was great for promoting the military would have thought This would have been one of those things where it would be nice to have been wrong about but here we are

Sadly this has been the situation in Canada for years. The Liberals have saddled Canada with regulations, red tape, carbon taxes, net zero objectives, and FN negotiation requirements. This has pushed Canada into the mud while the rest of the world is desperate for our natural resources. The BC NDP has done the same sort of thing. This is what John Rustad says on Facebook, MLA and former leader of the B.C. Conservative Party. He has it right. quote As the Iran Crisis Shakes Energy Markets, Canada & B.C. Misses the Moment British Columbia keeps watching investment walk out the door at the exact moment the world is scrambling for reliable energy. The conflict involving Iran has driven oil prices above $90 per barrel as global supply tightens and shipping routes in the Persian Gulf face disruption. Countries everywhere are looking for stable suppliers. Canada should be in a position to meet that demand. Instead, we are squandering the opportunity. First it was Nutrien, the world’s largest potash producer, announcing plans to build a major export terminal in Washington State instead of British Columbia. Now Canadian Natural Resources Limited has delayed an $8.25-billion oil sands expansion because governments still have not clarified the rules around carbon pricing and methane regulations. This pattern is becoming familiar. Major companies look at the regulatory landscape in Canada and choose to wait, scale back, or move their investments somewhere else. Every time that happens, British Columbia loses jobs, economic growth, and revenue that our province desperately needs. The delayed oil sands project would add 150,000 barrels of oil per day to Canada’s energy supply. Projects of this scale generate enormous economic activity across western Canada. They also help solve another problem Canada continues to face: we are forced to sell much of our oil at a discount because we lack sufficient access to global markets. Canadian heavy crude, commonly priced under Western Canadian Select, often sells $10 to $25 per barrel below global benchmarks because our export options remain limited and producers rely heavily on U.S. refineries instead of reaching world markets. That discount alone can cost the Canadian economy $15 to $30 billion per year. In addition to the gracious energy discount we are also seeing jobs left left off the table. A new export pipeline from Alberta to the B.C. coast, combined with expanded oil production, would support 15,000 to 25,000 construction jobs and an additional 30,000 to 60,000 indirect jobs in engineering, manufacturing, trucking, and services. Thousands of those jobs would exist here in British Columbia through pipeline construction, port development, marine shipping, environmental services, and heavy equipment contracting. Just as importantly, expanding export capacity would allow Canadian energy to reach global buyers and reduce the discount that currently drains billions of dollars from our economy every year. Energy exports moving through B.C. ports support longshore workers, tug operators, terminal staff, and countless small businesses that depend on industrial activity. Large energy infrastructure projects can contribute $10 to $20 billion annually to Canada’s GDP once they are operating. British Columbia captures part of that value through employment, port activity, and government revenue. Instead, investment keeps slowing down. The delay announced by Canadian Natural Resources Limited reflects growing uncertainty created by federal policy. Ottawa continues to layer on new requirements for the oil and gas sector, including carbon pricing rules, methane regulations estimated to cost the industry about $15 billion, and a proposed emissions cap that hangs over future investment decisions. Many of these same projects already plan to invest billions in carbon capture and emissions reduction technology. Those investments add enormous costs to development. Companies are being asked to spend billions to capture and reduce emissions while still paying an industrial carbon tax on top of those costs. That raises a simple question: if companies are investing heavily in carbon capture to reduce emissions, why are they still being charged a carbon tax for producing energy? Canada’s competitors face none of these costs. Major producers in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Russia do not operate under carbon taxes or emissions caps. They sell their oil and gas into global markets at full price because they don't have to use other counties energy corridors. Provincial policy also plays a role. Regulatory timelines in British Columbia remain long and unpredictable, and major projects face constant legal and political challenges even after years of review. A clear example is the proposed propane export expansion at the Ridley Island Propane Export Terminal near Prince Rupert. The project would expand Canada’s ability to export propane to global markets and support jobs in northern British Columbia, yet it now faces legal challenges and delays from several Indigenous groups despite already operating and providing economic benefits to the region. Investors watch these situations closely. When projects that have already gone through approvals still face years of uncertainty, companies conclude that British Columbia is too risky for major investment and move their capital to jurisdictions where governments provide clear rules and predictable timelines. Indigenous Nations must be part of development in British Columbia. Consultation matters and partnership matters. Many Indigenous communities across western Canada already participate directly in energy projects, pipelines, and infrastructure developments. Those partnerships create jobs, generate revenue for communities, and provide long-term economic stability. That model works when governments focus on agreements and practical outcomes. Unfortunately, Premier David Eby has done more damage to Indigenous negotiations than any government I have witnessed. His handling of issues such as the Cowichan Tribes v. Canada claims and the ongoing uncertainty around the Musqueam Indian Band new water rights deal that his government wasn't consulted on creates instability, and endless legal battles. Instead of resolving disputes and creating certainty, this government has pushed more decisions into the courts and allowed negotiations to spiral into conflict. That approach fuels division and delays investment. At a time when British Columbia faces a $13.3-billion deficit, the public has very little patience for endless legal uncertainty and court challenges that stall projects for years. The Supreme Court of Canada has been clear on this issue. Indigenous communities have the right to consultation and accommodation. They do not have a veto over development. Major infrastructure projects that serve the broader public interest cannot be permanently blocked through endless litigation. British Columbians deserve a government that welcomes investment instead of pushing it away. Instead, we have an NDP government that has become politically incapacitated when it comes to economic development. Premier David Eby built his career as a protest activist. He seems to carry that same mindset into government. That approach might work on a university campus. It does not work when you are responsible for running a provincial economy. The reality is simple. The private sector funds the public sector. Businesses create the wealth that pays for hospitals, schools, roads, and public services. The economy does not run on government press releases or policy announcements. It certainly does not run on Starbucks coffee and press conferences in downtown Vancouver. Yet the government behaves as if investment will appear regardless of the policies they impose. Their latest budget proves the point. British Columbia now faces a $13.3-billion deficit, the largest in our history. That deficit stands as a direct indictment of how this government thinks the economy works. The NDP continues to treat the private sector as an afterthought while layering regulations, taxes, and uncertainty onto the industries that actually generate revenue. This is not economic leadership. It is champagne socialism, the belief that government spending somehow creates wealth while the businesses that fund that spending are pushed further out of the province. British Columbia needs a government that understands a basic fact: if investment leaves, the jobs leave with it. When billions of dollars in projects move to the United States or sit idle because companies no longer trust our regulatory environment, the cost appears in lost opportunities, weaker growth, and deficits that future generations will be forced to carry. unquote

Iran was trying to get nukes, period. And in a country that large, with almost no supervision and cloaked in an internet blackout, it was just a matter of time until they got them. Maybe weeks, maybe months, but not years and definitely not 'never'. They were amassing a huge stockpile of ballistic missiles and drones, that is indisputable. The Iranian regime has been openly calling for genocide against the Jews and America for generations. Now, at the cost of the lives of 6 US servicemen, the US has sunk 30+ Iranian ships, destroyed all of their radar detection and guidance systems, destroyed all of their anti-aircraft batteries, destroyed countless ICBM's & ballistic missiles, countless drones, wiped out the ayatollah and at least 2 successors, obliterated the upper echelons on Iran's military and their mullahs, they're destroying Iran's bigotry-police stations, etc, etc, etc. There has never been a war this one-sided in all of recorded history. This is shaping up to be the most epic win of all time. Not only that, it's one of the rare instances when a country's enemies in a war are actually the ones defending the majority of its people... Iranian people actually feel safer and are safer with American bombs raining down on them than they do when their own police are running loose on them. Iranian civilian deaths in this war aren't on pace to come anywhere near what the ayatollah inflicted oon the in the last month alone. Despite all that, American leftists, who mostly cheered on Hamas, are now cheering for the ayatollah's regime. Aren't they supposed to be defenders of women's rights? Shouldn't they care that women get flogged and jailed just for taking off hijabs? Where did the left's love of genocide and violent bigotry come from, they they can openly support Hamas and the ayatollah's regime? They seemed to have left violent bigotry behind them when they had their [imaginary] break with the KKK, no? Then again, they did have that 3-year stint recently where they were pushing BLM riots, and they've been letting criminals out of jail or not incarcerating them for a while now. And they supported death threats against the president, severed-head effigies, assassination attempts, cheered the murder of Charlie Kirk, viewed the congressional baseball game shooting with apathy, etc. Now, if you look back at Obama's messaging, it's basically on a parallel course with Iranian propaganda... Could Iran really be trusted with a nuclear program, as Barry would have us believe? Was racism and slavery a current problem while Obama was in the WH? Did anyone have any reason to believe that Trayvon was just a smiling, polite kid that got shot, or that "friendly giant" M Brown wasn't actually a violent thug for the last ten minutes of his life? And what's with Obama using Jessie Jackson's funeral as a platform for anti-Trump invective? At what point did that smooth-talking, calculating, couching, dog-whistling piece of shit ever say anything that couldn't be construed as more pro-Iranian than pro-American? My sharpest critique of Trump is that he can be classless and boorish, but Obama just brought presidential decorum to a new low at that funeral. Thank God for Trump. It's looking like he might pull off a modern-day miracle in Iran. One that the world desperately needs.

Eby breaks the DST deadlock code. Just fùcking do it and git her done! Go figure! And Alberta is following the lead? I'll be dipped in shit! https://calgary.citynews.ca/2026/03/02/alberta-daylight-saving-time-changes/

Welcome to the far Left 3rd world shit hole that is Canada now.

Both Israel and the US continually enrich bomb grade Uranium and BUILD BOMBS with IMPUNITY. And implicitly threaten to use them. It is not really complicated WHY Iran believes they need to do the same for DEFENSE. It is obvious that the US and Israel would not be bombing Iran if it was nuclear armed. The US continually sponsors the terrorist group known as Israel and ships them bombs they use on civilians. Unlike Iran which is condemned for killing 30,000 protesters, Israel has killed over 70,000 Gazan citizens.

How trustworthy were the Ayatollah's? They 'negotiate' while at the same time, they are constructing HEAVILY fortified underground uranium enrichment facilities. Did they ever stop sponsoring terrorist groups everywhere? No, they didn't.

Allowing radical Islamists to develop nuclear weapons is just bad in every way. One should also not ignore the indisputable fact that Iran was/is behind much of the terrorism in the world. When it comes to regime change in the Islamic world, it's a roll of the dice. Hopefully the Iranian people can make the most out of this opportunity. What does it say when so many Iranians, in that country and all over the world, are thrilled that the Ayatollah is dead? It was a brutal dictatorship through and through.

Not to take away from anything you just said, it's mostly accurate, but it's important for us all to remember that this is a long way from over. The US has not won yet, there will be more deaths, the outcome is not certain. Again I'm not distracting from anything you said but it's important that we don't act like this is over or that we won. There's a lot of work to do left yet and we can't let our guard down or get complacent just yet. There's a lot of work to do

LOLOL You used it wrong AGAIN!! DUUUUUUHHH LEFTIES IS SMARTS!!!!

Yeah they aren't a serious person. Proved that they were lying about the school and they still double down.

I have a game for you, can you admit you lied about anything? You do it almost daily if not every day.

When do you get out?

Leftists missed full-blown fascism in Canada during covid, complete with: the vilification of a group based on false medical narratives a gesundheitspass frozen bank accounts police stealing from people police beating people in the street the incarceration of people for non-crimes 100% control over the MSM a propaganda barrage/digital book-burning that makes Goebbels look apathetic and lazy concentration camps ("voluntary covid self-isolation camps" in the Yukon lol. Remember, the term "concentration camp" was no big deal before it was used in WWII either) widespread cancellation of basic human rights What more could the LPoC have done to emulate Hitler's iron grip over Germany, aside from gassing Jews? Name a single step that Trudeau missed? And now the God-damned left4rds are calling Trump a fascist because he didn't roll over for the ayatollah like Obama and Biden did?

I suspect that most Canadians are too dumb to realize that Carney didn't kill the carbon tax.

You're right, you are a nobody.

The lefties have created this narrative that it is more important that we virtue-signal how empathetic WE are, by showing compassion for the sad upbringing of these men. The seniors that have been robbed, beaten, stabbed, killed in Canada in the last couple years? Irrelevant. The women being raped, harassed and assaulted? Who cares? The children being groomed into rape gangs? Not as important. My gawd, people. These are YOUR elderly parents. YOUR daughters and wives and sisters and nieces. YOUR children and grandchildren.

I'm sure it doesn't. And I'm sure that wasn't the intention. It was, however, the result. And to admit one was wrong is simply not in the playbook of the Liberal party. So they soldier on, ignoring the bodies piling up, hand-waving away all the complaints. Bill C-75 (2019): This legislation codified the "principle of restraint," directing police and courts to release accused persons at the "earliest reasonable opportunity" and on the least restrictive terms. Add to this that Canadians probably don't even understand what 'bail' is because our cultural views are shaped by American television. In the US, you pay some money to be out on bail. If you violate your bail, you lose that money. In Canada, you virtually never put up any money. And if you violate your bail, there's no charge other than 'violating release conditions', and that always gets rolled in with whatever the original offense is, so that they're served concurrently. So there is essentially no punishment. Bill C-75 was aimed at reducing pre-trial detention for marginalized groups That seems more important to the Liberals than the safety of the community. Although the very term 'marginalized' is insane as it suggests a group being acted upon by society as opposed to a group being the victim of their own bad behaviour.

Re: Iranian state media and officials reported that the death toll from the strike rose to at least 165, with many others injured, calling it a devastating blow to the local community. .......'devastating blow to the local community'???? Gotta wonder how much more devastating to the local community it was to have 30k protestors shot down in the streets? Think of it - 30K???? Any regime capable of that is definitely capable of orchestrating a red-herring in pursuit of grooming damaging propaganda.

LMAO! You said it was 3000.

Well it must have been AI who made it up. Liar. Oh, and FIFY.

I doubt he sleeps well at night when considering the pressure to cave. It's a lot easier to cringe at your President and his administration's efforts to make Zelensky give Putin what he wants. Ridicule is a good metric for measuring your country's efforts to see Putin gets it - you definitely take the global cake for that. Meanwhile I'm perfectly happy if our efforts contribute to people getting enough food, healthcare or essential services. From each to each according to ability or need works for me - I know Ukraine is happy to get whatever it can. Notwithstanding pressure to cave.

Studies also showed a corresponding dip in the numbers of cardiac emergencies in the fall. In any case AI tells me the Mayo clinic studied some 36 million patients and concluded there's next to nothing to be concerned about. It seems to me the remaining issues people might have are economic in nature. That said I doubt DST ever had greater effect on my circadian rhythm than fishing or logging, but especially fishing. Way back in the day if you lived on the South coast and wanted to maximize your daylight hours you ran up to Alaska where you really couldn't tell the difference between dawn and dusk. Even then I still recall more than a few 24 - 36 hr stints on deck where dusk is hours behind you as far as dawn is ahead. It takes a moment or so to remember what circadian means after about 28 hours. Everything's measured by...'here comes the next snap or trap'.

This generally isn't the kind of thing that breaks a politician's window but it does leave hefty cracks. On top of it all it's now completely overshadowned his trade mission. And that's a problem because the trade mission was about optics, not results. There won't be any results from it for quite some time if ever and he needed to score the points now.

Canada is one of Ukraine's top supporters globally, the highest per capita among G7 nations. We certainly haven't pressured Ukraine or suggested they cave to Putin.

Mark Carney just plain sucks. Only the biggest fools on earth would be voting Liberal right now.

In case you were wondering, yes - the modern Left, especially liberal white women, are incredibly stupid, and mentally ill with insane amounts of TDS.

This is 100% bullshit. PERIOD. Thank goodness for those closed borders. No more Laken Rileys!!

They dont have nukes. They are enriching uranium in levels that would indicate they aren't just using it as a form of energy but rather to make weapons. While the US hit their targets a year ago, they continue to threaten. That and they continue to engage in terrorism warfare in the region which has led to most of the countries in the region seeing them as a nuisance. This includes tactics which target Americans in the area. And they also attempted to assassinate Trump who at the time was a former president and running again for office. These are established facts. Trump inherited the mess from Obama and Biden

I think you mean 92K more jobs LOST last month.

I just want to be clear... There is no relation...

Yeah...nothin worse that some facts slapping the face of your opinion LOL

If you find that amusing then you'll probably get a laugh out of Canada's shortages in the pharmaceutical sector like painkillers and general drug shortages. About 75% of our pharmaceutical imports come from the US. Sounds like the US is in a great position to raise their prices 'like 50%'. That would only be fair, right? You didn't give this much thought, did you?

Naw! Let them run down their stockpiles until they're desperate, then raise our prices. Like 50%, that would be 'fair'.

Aww Gee, what a shame. Coulda had an even bigger deficit for PP to whine about...

How could any regime in Iran hate the US more than the current one? A lesson for Iran and any other country in the world is that if they want to undermine the security interests including vital security interests of the world's biggest superpower for many decades while allying with their biggest enemies then that superpower may take action. It's been a suicide mission for most in the middle east. The government of Iran is the enemy of US and Canada and it's own people. I hope the regime falls.

First domestic, now foreign assassins. The most disgusting thing is all the people on the left that openly admit they would love to see Trump killed.

The ayatollah was trying to use violence and fear to drive islam into the hearts of Persians and he just made them stronger and more resiliant. The Persians were not cowed: Dear ayatollah, That's not a cow. You lose, dummy. Have fun in hell. With jubilance, Humanity

Now here is something you don't see every day....Iranians doing the Trump dance:

A lot of countries try to get nukes when their worst enemy has them. Nothing new about that. But Iran agreed NOT to enrich Uranium beyond 20% under the JCPOA and inspectors agreed they were NOT. Of course Trump arbitrarily TRASHED that agreement, implicitly giving Iran permission to violate it. There is NO EVIDENCE they were BUILDING a BOMB, so your OPINION is NULL and VOID.

Nutanyahoo was waiting for 40 years to find the most reckless and dumb president to drag America into this war. That is what all of this is about.

Since NATO’s largest dead beat can’t spend enough according to its ability or need, Canada get official recognition as a non government organization , like a book club. I get it, you’re all too proud to ask, why bother paying your NATO bill. So good news, you’ll get your new driver license and passport in the mail mmkay. Canada will be folded unilaterally into the United States of America as the 51st State. A gift from our big American hearts.

But the Muslims are the real victim here
