If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen. We aren't meant to make you or your nanny safe, am I clear?

Who else remembers the apocalyptic British variant narrative pushed by corporate media, big Pharma and corporations at the end of 2020 and beginning of 2021?

That's a bivariate analysis of a multivariate problem, so of course this graph didn't control for factors such as weight and age, which could be a problem. It also didn't factor how statistics are done in each country. For that reason, I'm not convinced with this graph too.

It is very straightforward actually. Africans are young and not obese.

First they are young, which means they won't die of COVID except for a precondition, second they are mostly skinny which is the second most important variable in mortality for COVID as we all know overweight people die more easily of COVID but also many other things, and Africans are also unfortunately dying for other reasons than COVID, although progress is coming real fast in many countries while many others will remain Third World for another 50 years.

A very convenient disease; virtually impossible to contain totally. Cyclical. So the people in power may use the pretext for a very long time. 2 weeks to flatten the curve, idiots. Oh wait. 2 years now.

What rule did she break? Wrongthink isn't a crime yet.

Why Liberals were reelected: the Moderate vote goes for the Liberals in urban areas, and people over 65 voted massively for them. I find this forum to also show the Conservatives as being well represented: they are out of their minds when it comes to Trudeau's reign, and sound foolish criticizing it like they do so. When you hear a Tory speak about the fact that Liberals are holding power, it is like the end of the world is coming. They can not pinpoint where exactly is the downfall of our civilization, but they say it's happening. This kind of mentality crystallized the electorate rather than convince.

Tories lost the number of seats. But they won the number of individuals voting for them.

It's alright. For Tories, I would be happy with the score. O'Toole didn't f*ck up, the Tories maintained their ground and have not lost the popular vote. The PPC did 5%. It's an incredibly high score for them. Imagine a united conservative party.

The pendulum always swing back, like the boomerang.

Good.

So, Libs minority or majority?

You know the whole purpose of this alliance was to steal the military contracts from France and not actually face China, right?

1. Is that some kind of a sick joke? 2. No. Allies do not exist in geopolitics. We only have interested relationships between States. 3. The US isn't an ally. It is a trading partner and a competitor at the same time. We cooperate with them on many fronts, but they are not our friends. They are our neighbors. 4. There is no war but competition with every State on the planet. China is a harsh competitor, so are we. So are the US. 5. We have been invaded culturally, we imported the sick woke ideology that they are willing to export, we become more and more Americanized by the second. They just don't need to militarily invade us. We already are their pawn.

The real loser here is France, they are losing $80B. The real winner is actually China. They 'protest' against these military spendings, but in reality is very happy with how the Western World is spending. They are doing a reverse Reagan to the USSR. This time the Western coalition are the USSR that will not be able to keep up with military upkeep in the long run.

Very well said. --- Bowling Alone Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community is a 2000 nonfiction book by Robert D. Putnam. It was developed from his 1995 essay entitled "Bowling Alone: America's Declining Social Capital". Putnam surveys the decline of social capital in the United States since 1950. He has described the reduction in all the forms of in-person social intercourse upon which Americans used to found, educate, and enrich the fabric of their social lives. He argues that this undermines the active civil engagement which a strong democracy requires from its citizens. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowling_Alone

No dummy, people who are vaccinated against it are protected.

We'd be more than happy to leave.

Quebec got leverage against its ruling anglophone elite and created Hydro Quebec which gave us the lowest energy prices in the developed world, and it industrialized us quickly. Quebecers built their dams and got a loan out of Wall Street because of all greedy anglophones wanted to maintain Quebecers in abject and absolute poverty, feeling superior to everyone (when you speak English as your native tongue you tend to become like that). Afghanistan will not have to wait for Canada to save them, just as Quebec didn't get saved by Canada at all. Quite the contrary. My fiancé is Rwandan, and in her country which is developing fast, they refuse foreign aid for many things and there is a momentum going against these types of help from the Western world which undermines its development. For example, there was an idea that if Rwandan kids didn't have shoes, the West should ship them shoes for free. There are been great consequences for the local shoe producers, who couldn't sell the shoes locally produced; everyone got them for free from a western corporation. Thus, it stunts the development and industrialization of Rwanda. The same applies everywhere.

Yes. I assume it 100% and I think is the point of having a government for our country. I really don't care about Afghanis and so do all Canadians who are honest with themselves and not just following the flavor-of-the-month-victim. We need to invest in our schools and our healthcare. Not Afghanistan's. I'm not even sorry in the slightest. They just have to be organized and develop themselves, like the Chinese/Japanese/Koreans/Quebecers did in the past half century.

First off, we owe no one nothing. So no, we must not help them. We could help them. But saying it's an imperative, no. We shouldn't have been in Afghanistan to establish a democracy and we shouldn't be the saviors of the Afghan people. Second of all, even if we help, this help should be limited in its amount as we have many impoverished here in Canada. We don't have money for some projects such as renovating hospitals and repaving roads, but we should care about the robotics team of Afghanistan? I'm not even sorry to say Afghanis are not even at the bottom of my list of priorities. They are below that. And it's totally normal, just as for the wellbeing of Canadians for Afghanis is not their priority at all. We don't care. Finally, the selective indignation is disgusting. Many countries, if not most, are not well managed, are corrupt, have wars, are poor. That's just the norm. It's us who are abnormal in the West who have high standards of living alongside capitalistic countries in Asia. We don't have room for empathy for everyone, and pretending to care about others because the flavor of the month is to be sympathetic to Syrians, then Afghanis, is not only hypocritical, but you're ignoring the fact many other people have worse plights than Afghanis, and still don't have a shot to get there in Canada, even if they fit most of our boxes; because we want to be EmPaThETiC to the 'flavor of the news cycle for victimhood'.
