Yes, you explained that before, all ridiculous, of course, the delusional rantings of the far right, suicidal ideation perhaps:

I don't think people want to be sent to fight in any more US wars for profit. Afghanistan was a wakeup call, fighting for billionaires' profits, uranium to make war toys, injured veterans homeless on the street, underserved. It isn't an attractive prospect for thinking people. So now we have the dregs of society for soldiers, cement-head racists who want to kill people of colour, trans people and smart women ... bring war to Canada. Buncha dumb violent loser creeps. And the CAF covering up for them.

That a bunch of freeloading white supremacists are getting paid by us for military training that they intend to use to start a war against people of colour and the despised 'lefties'. Just another day in the neighborhood. HoHum.

Why are you so obsessed with flagellating your US'n self, bc? Nobody cares what you say US'ns think of Canadians.' You don't represent all US'ns: They are not of one mind. Neither are Canadians. And you're talking on a discussion board that's 95% white supremacists, who represent the lunatic fringe in your country and mine. Lol It doesn't get much more ridiculous than that. Be who you are. We don't care. We make our choices in how we do and don't associate. And we're always aware that US'n 'manifest destiny' finds us a burr up its ass. Oh.well. Lol

I'm kind of tired of seeing these stories, but I hope it means that the CAF is now aware that it's being used as a training ground for inciting a 'race war', and ridding itself of these delusional racist creeps. Navy investigating reservist who encouraged fellow members of neo-Nazi web forum to enlist https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/navy-reservist-iron-march-data-1.5382424 "They pay you to teach you the methods you need to destroy them." ... A reservist with a history of ties to hate groups and spreading racism is being investigated by the Royal Canadian Navy — nearly four years after enlisting. Boris Mihajlovic, of Calgary, was one of the administrators of the now-defunct Iron March forum, a notorious neo-Nazi website that had more than 1,200 users. He was also involved with Blood & Honour for at least four years and its armed branch, Combat 18, a group the Canadian government identified last summer as a terrorist organization. ... His rationale for serving in the military was to gain combat experience for an eventual "race war." "If there was an opportunity to get trained to be more effective in the race war — and get paid for it, any normal fascist would take it." He's now denying it, says he's reformed, of course. (Ya, sure.) More info on terrorist designation: https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/1559536195642

Canadians are not so willing to go along with US warmongering anymore. Since Iraq, it's become clear that the US military-industrial organized crime mob creates conflict in vulnerable countries with lots of natural resources, only for the benefit of predatory billionaires. Soldiers lives are sold cheaply to the highest corporate bidders. It's a classic case of privatizing profits while socializing costs. We've learned a lesson from Afghanistan, and we won't be likely to sacrifice our soldiers lives for US billionaires' profits again.

When you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail. When you have a gun, everything looks like a war. Such a limited life you lead, dougie.

Ford is benefiting from a good economy, caused in part by increased consumer spending due to the increased minimum wage, and resulting increase in corporate tax revenues. Other than inflating the 'Liberal' deficit by playing with the books, the Ford govt has done little that actually decreased the deficit.

Evaluating outcomes from Ontario's big increase to $14 min wage: https://vocm.com/2019/12/04/minimum-wage-increase-boosting-ontario-employment-could-do-more-here-says-workers-action-centre/ Ladd says initially there was fear mongering from businesses saying that companies would pack up and move elsewhere and jobs would be lost. But, she says that did not happen and there have been lots of positive effects. Ontario has the lowest unemployment rate it has seen in 18 years and lots of industries are thriving. She says they are seeing the benefits of putting money in the pockets of those who will spend it in their local communities. = less unemployment as people stay in their jobs = more consumer spending, more money circulating, more business for employers. Sometimes the knee-jerk reaction - eg, 'employers can't afford it' - is so simplistic that it doesn't reflect reality: Businesses are thriving because min wage workers have money to spend. Same with welfare/ODSP: Cutting people's social support to the bone means poor health and employment outcomes, more petty crime, less money spent in local businesses, etc. It's a well known fact that the best way to stimulate the economy is to put more money into the hands of lower income people, because they spend it on basic needs, while middle/upper income people are more likely to hoard it as their basic needs are already met. The business people who complain about increase in social supports and min wage are people who lack understanding of these basic economic facts, don't understand business, and aren't as likely to succeed in business with that narrow, negative, uninformed and punitive mentality. While they may blame others, the fault lies with themselves.

We don't need no stinkin' wars.

Ford's cronies are drunken idiots like him.

Contracts end, negotiations begin. Kinda normal, happens all the time. Tell the government to get off its butt and settle instead of making a big stink about nothing.

At gunpoint? Lol Such delusional and paranoid catastrophizing must really keep you on the edge.

Most welfare recipients are single moms with preschool children (with absent, deadbeat dads) who stay on welfare on average only 3 years, until their kid(s) are in school. (Because it's cheaper to have moms at home than to pay for child care.) Then they get training and/or job. It's just the social safety net working as it should, and really is not anything for people to get their pants in a knot about.

Ya we could cut the fat of Ford's patronage-job cronyism.

Hmmm ... have you already forgotten Ford being booed by Special Olympics athletes, because he cut educational services for autistic kids? He still can't speak in public because his cuts are so unpopular in every community, including ridings and people who voted PC. People do negotiate raises every year or so. That's just life. Nothing to see here.

Please share your experiences to validate your claim: How does one pay rent, eat, clothe, maintain hygiene, pay transportation on ~$733 per month ?

Only in your fascist dreams, proud white supremacist boy. Lol

Only in your dreams, old man.

Ok I'll wait ..... lol White supremacists are always outnumbered in civil action. You're just not very popular. Oh.Well.

How will that happen?

You got your wish: Welfare is already below survivable levels.

Indigenous treaties are with the Crown, and that connection won't go away. Still no political leaders talking 'separation', so it isn't really a thing. Just the media making news. Lol

Perhaps we will see an airing of bottled up grievances, and some more heads rolling. It may be a good thing to clean out some trouble spots.

Ok. So there's no problem in hockey. All good. But Bill Peters has resigned anyway.
