What are you trying to say here and do you have peer-reviewed articles to back it up? People who are vaccinated are still mortal. Many of them are old and they will die anyway.

But that’s a national decision. The social media giants are foreign companies operating around the world that nobody outside America and China has any control over, with the US govt often being powerless too. We don’t seem to be alarmed by this.

The Old Testament is a desert survival guide; kill or be killed. The New Testament is what the Life of Brian shows it to be, a holy book compatible with foreign rule where law and order is no longer a problem and natural homicidal tendencies have to be curbed.

So let’s assume for a moment that biblical borefest is true. Do those who live a very long time in a place have exclusive rights to it in perpetuity? Do you see where I am going with this?

The FPTP voting system punishes small national parties like the NDP and favours regional ones like the BQ. People understand that and tend to vote for the large party nearest their interests when a general election comes around. The question for left-wingers becomes an unpalatable one: do you want Trudeau or Poilievre?

Some of the working poor don’t have it which sends a terrible message. I saw a newly arrived doctor from the UK prescribing fertility medication here and finding out to his amazement that the patient couldn’t afford it.

Good news in our sea of gloom. Mr. Faucette is still alive one month after his transplant. He and his wife seem to have a great attitude to his perilous situation. So far there has been no sign of infection or rejection. https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/20/health/pig-heart-transplant-maryland-update/index.html#:~:text=medicines from shelves.-,One month after experimental pig heart transplant%2C doctors say they,signs of rejection or infection&text=Lawrence Faucette does physical therapy,receive experimental pig heart transplant.

We’ll have to see the fine details on this. Somebody who has been on Skid Row for decades probably has other illnesses and will have suffered a great deal already. However, I don’t think young addicts should be offered this drastic alternative.

Many countries are in the same boat.

Mate, you copied and pasted an entire article from the NP. Did you obtain permission from them to do that? Selected quotes are OK as long as you give a link for people to see the rest at the original site. That’s how it works in Internetland. This forum provides tools for quotation to make it unambiguous. Let me show you how they work: Actually, they want people to visit their site as well. In no way am I trying to silence you. If you want people to read what you write, make it easier.

You could make the point about Jews being in that part of the world for thousands of years in a paragraph or two. I’m not disputing it, by the way. Israel and Palestine is one conflict of many where both parties can claim deep roots in the region. Tribes give all sorts of reasons for fighting over land - religious, political, past atrocities etc. - but I would argue these are secondary. Our gods are worshipped and the enemy’s gods are smashed. The land itself is what the fight is really about. A housekeeping point. Put quoted material from other authors in a quoted box so we can clearly see it’s theirs and not yours. For copyright reasons, keep the quote as brief as possible and add a link for us to read the rest so we don’t get accused of infringing their legal rights here. Just to be completely clear on this: I condemn the recent actions of Hamas without reservation.

Perhaps liberal democracy is just an inherently unlikely form of government? It has always been the exception and is certainly in retreat these days. The world’s two largest states embraced capitalism but rejected other aspects of the Western state. India, never fully democratic in practice, is sliding into sectarian autocracy while China fulfils nearly all the criteria of a totalitarianism these days. More important to most on the planet are order and a minimum level of prosperity.

Try to make your points more concisely. Nobody is going to read a tedious and tendentious screed

Me no read that much. Humans have been all over the place. My ancestors trekked across Africa, Asia and Europe. Can I claim anything along the way? The DNA record suggests many ancestors of modern Jews were German, French, Arab etc. British Palestine is an example of what happens when a tsunami of foreigners arrives in your land; as any First Nations person can tell you, they tend to take over. This Balfour Declaration was like Pope Adrian allegedly handing over Ireland to England; it wasn’t his to give. For internal British political reasons, the governing authority of Palestine betrayed its duty of care to the people already there.

If that suspension really is just about his views on a non-medical matter, then no doctor should post their views on social media again under their own name because somebody is always offended. In fairness, there may have been previous ‘issues’ not related to politics.

What are historic claims at this point? Do I have an historic claim to an acre of Ethiopia, given that all non-African humans hailed from that neck of the woods originally?

An early Pink Floyd album which is more melodic than I remembered.

The West, especially Britain, has been cosying up to Azerbaijani tyrant, Ilham Aliyev, for years: https://bylinetimes.com/2023/01/06/the-cynical-pact-between-russia-and-the-uk-over-azerbaijans-aggression-towards-armenia/ And the Turks under Erdogan remain keen to kill Armenians in 2023.

I think it does account for that. Poor men don’t earn significantly more than their partners. Therefore they are not bringing enough benefit to the household to be worth putting up with. Also you’re conflating fathering children and living together. Women tend to draw a clear distinction between those activities. Unless compelling reasons are offered, they’ve enough people to mind at home already.

You’d want to pick your spot in BC with care these days.

There are just more of those high earners in Alberta as a percentage of the total, so the effect is that taxpayers from the province contribute more to federal income tax.

So they go for a romantic holiday, Fidel steps in and Pierre is totally cool about it? I think everyone in Canada can agree that Trudeau père had a big ego.

Did Fidel Castro have any other blue-eyed children? I don’t know the answer to that.

From what I’ve read in the National Post, the dates don’t match up. Margaret Trudeau was the most scrutinized woman in Canada. Her every moment was monitored by a hungry press.

But do you think he looks like a typical 100% Irishman of his age?
