  1. Canada Wins, U.S. Loses In Global Fight For High-Tech Workers https://www.npr.org/2020/01/27/799402801/canada-wins-u-s-loses-in-global-fight-for-high-tech-work https://www.npr.org/2020/01/27/799402801/canada-wins-u-s-loses-in-global-fight-for-high-tech-workers Toronto is emerging as a tech superpower as immigrants choose Canada over the US https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.businessinsider.com/toronto-canada-tech-hub-immigrants-h1b-visa-2020-7%3famp Canada’s Tech Sector Benefits From U.S. Visa Policy Government policy changes in Canada and the U.S. are shifting international tech talent north of the 49th parallel, an artificial intelligence expert says. https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/articles/2020-07-20/how-canadas-tech-sector-benefits-from-us-visa-policy%3fcontext=amp More tech immigrants choosing Canada over U.S. While U.S. immigration laws are becoming more restrictive more international skilled workers are coming to Canada. https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.cicnews.com/2020/08/more-tech-immigrants-choosing-canada-over-u-s-0815243.html/amp 40% of Canadian and Mexican engineers aren't interested in moving to the US for tech jobs https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.techrepublic.com/google-amp/article/40-of-canadian-and-mexican-engineers-arent-interested-in-moving-to-the-us-for-tech-jobs/ Canadas tech sector is clearly booming and increasingly becoming a destination of choice over the US for both mobile/global workers and employers. BUT.... The US tech sector is so much larger and has been established for so much longer its way too premature to say anything based on just the past couple of years of progress north of the border. The current Canadian tech boom at American expense could turn out to just be a blip in history if the US simply reverses a couple of Trump policies and assuming the US doesn’t dissolve into a failed state.
  2. Omg you actually used DonaldJTrump.com as a source to prove Donald JTrump did a good job handling the virus. Ridiculous. As is HCQ as a treatment or a cure. And injecting “disinfectants” And your Cuomo-DiBlasio ranting is equally retarded considering most of the worst-hit states have been red states for months now check out this cool animation: https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.wkyc.com/amp/article/news/verify/verify-where-viral-covid-case-partisanship-state-chart-gets-numbers/507-1bf0dc17-ce06-4549-8452-3318b8f71cfd
  3. No you stunning genius. Convicted of lying to the investigators about Russian contacts during their investigation investigation is what Im talking about. You’re trying to argue that a bunch of people convicted of dumping a body and concealing evidence of its murder are completely innocent and have nothing to do with the actual murder. And nobody is buying it.
  4. Remember Biden and other Dem candidates only have 1 objective: win their election. Republicans have 2 objectives: 1) win the election, or if not successful then: 2) delegitimize the election Objective 2 doesn’t require republicans to come up with any kind of vote count to claim they won. They just have to say the results can’t be trusted or are fraudulent and that’s that. They’ll resort to their usual tactic of unproven claims, bullshit conspiracy theories etc. They’ll point to anything that’s different from previous years as proof, such as the mail-in and early voting due to COVID For Republicans to succeed, they don’t need people to accept their version of reality. They only need people to be unable to distinguish what is real and what is not and then just give up trying. Not by coincidence that’s an actual strategy Putin has perfected and deployed to great effect since the start of his reign. It’s called the post-truth society. Most people will become cynical and stop paying attention to the news and politics altogether since its all bullshit. Meanwhile others will jump into it with both feet for self-serving purposes or due identity politics...a few of these people may be kool-aid drinking “true believers” but most will simply accept that lies, propaganda, fake news, false-flag provocateurs, etc is all just fair game in order for their team to win.
  5. Please quote my post with exactly the supposed lie. what’s that? You can’t? It’s because you’re the liar just like Trump as his convicted criminal friends. The next time some mobster is only convicted of dumping a body and destroying evidence of the murder but beats the rap on the actual murder charge itself due to evidence he destroyed, I’ll look for you to tell me what an upstanding citizen he is since he wasn’t convicted of murder.
  6. Wrong, the Branch Davidians set their own compound on fire. That said, heavy-handed law enforcement tactics that result in unnecessary tragedy is a centuries-old American tradition that’s alive and well.
  7. Final prediction: 1) Biden will win decisively but not necessarily by a landslide. Dems will also make major gains in House, Senate and State elections, tipping balance of power 2) Trumptards will resort to wild conspiracy theories,bogus claims of massive election fraud and causing trouble at he polling stations 3) Trumptard violence, conspiracy theories, and right wing terrorism like the plot against the governor in Michigan will be the new normal at least through Bides first term 4) In terms of what really matters in people’s lives such as healthcare, education, water quality and pollution, job protections, worker amd consumer rights and general living standards, nothing will change or will continue to worsen because America’s problems can’t be fixed by anyone.
  8. Maybe if you didn’t have to spend your entire income on shitty inadequate health insurance you could afford new socks. That’s what really matters in this world: quality of life foe their citizens, not whose constitution is older or whose citizens are more or less knowledgeable about other countries.
  9. ....but hating on Canada from the USA does? You’re the one whining about Canada on a Canadian chat forum....from the USA!
  10. I’m saying only someone with the maturity of a teenager would give a shit if either of the above statements are true or not. Shit like that doesn’t matter in the real world. Grow up. Nobody is like “Oh I lost my home because I can’t afford American health care, the schools are among the worst n the western world, my kid was killed in a school shooting, my drinking water is full of lead, the fire department won’t put out house fires unless we pay them a $1,000 per year subscription and police legally confiscate cash from law/abiding citizens at will, but at least the ‘US matters a lot more’, that’s what’s really important, so glad I moved from Canada!”
  11. None of the points you make matter. The number of Canadians who pay attention to the US and lack of Americans who reciprocate means nothing, its just some childish argument Your country is the one that is tearing itself apart and barely functioning as a democracy. Whatever shortcomings Canada has don’t come close to youe existential crisis
  12. Trums covid response has been a disaster he’s done virtually nothing while the bodies pile up and sent the public mixed messages on masks and lockdowns. How’s that hydroxychloroquine cure going ? How’s injecting disinfectant going? Canada is outperforming USA on COVID by pretty much every measure. And USA is among the worst in the wod. And the evolution on mask advice was not from Trudeau that was from the global scientific community and Trump continued to undermine that advice for months. Republicans still hold superspreader events and openly embrace anti-mask propaganda The only thing more hilarious than your Trudeau Derangement Syndrome is Trump cult kool-aid drinking delusions.
  13. False he had 9 charges related to $20 million dollars of fraud comitted between 2015 and 2017...which is WHILE he was on team Trump And it’s ridiculous you would try to use that as an excuse anyway even if it were true a criminal is a criminal and 2014 is less than 2 years before he joined the campaign why would you think that’s ok? The Russia investigation revealed his frauds and crimes laundering millions of dollars from Russia and defrauding American banks. He’s a criminal and a felon no matter how you cut it and regardless of beating the rap on collusion or not, anybody who associates with so many of these convicted felon lowlifes is unfit for office Manafort had become a pariah in Republican circles long ago and has spent the last couple of decades lobbying for third world dictators and war criminals. Trumps campaign team was made almost entirely out of D-list GOP rejects and outcasts who were rejected from all the other Republican campaigns
  14. Well you are the ugly American but your arguments are irrelevant. Replace “USA” with “China” in any of your comments and you’ll see what I mean Canadians are kore concerned with China than vice versa. Canadians rely more Chinese made products and tech vice versa Yet China is not a better country you couldn’t pay me enough to live in that undemocratic shithole and no American would prefer a life in China to a life in Canada. So I really don give a shit where this forum is hosted or with what kind of engine it uses, any intelligent person would know that’s irrelevant. Your country is broken, quality of life is worse by almost every measure, and YOU are here obsessing over us
  15. So you come to a Canadian chat forum round the clock seven days a week because.....why?
  16. Yet currently it is America in total social and political crisis with no end in sight......not Canada.
  17. Some Americans spend a lot of time on Canadian chat websites even though they say Canada isn’t significant to them. Kind of like the girl who texts you every single day to tell you that she’s over you.
  18. America loves being the only kid on the western block with a big military. You think it wants to share military power with France and Germany? It loves the fact that it’s almost impossible for NATO to do anything without US involvement. That’s by design. That’s part of the post-WW2 order. Trump just wants to empower Russia. Period.
  19. ROTFL wow you’re really getting desperate now.
  20. We probably have better Shawarma than you guys but it’s hard to see how else that migh be true
  21. Lol! Not anymore that’s for sure! Maybe that was true in Alberta a decade or 2 ago but nobody wants to be part of your dumpster fire these days!
  22. So what? Canadians don’t give a damn that Americans don’t give a damn about our elections (but here you are on a Canadian forum anyway ?) Nobody's done more har to the post-ww2 order than Trump who literally actually trying to shift the balance of power n that order from the West to Russia. Pretty comical you would even being that up. And again I would say we’ve paid the bills just fine even in the current economic situation. It’s hard to see how any Republican has “paid the bills” better than any Canadian government given that Republicans including Trump always run up the biggest budget deficits
  23. Huh? You’re not even making sense anymore Just must be desperate for an excuse to increase your “post count” or something Sure there’s some here and there. We don’t make that much military hardware to begin with and most export contracts are relatively small but there’s usually a bit of our kit out there in some conflict or another. Again USA is number one in that regard and dwarfs anyone else in the world so I’m not sure what you’re complaining about. US remains the number one backer of the Saudis. At least we don’t sell to Saddam Hussein, the Taliban, Iran and drug Cartels like Republicans have done over and over again. I know you’re trying to make it seem like we’re no better than you - which is not the own you think it is - but yeah I can say categorically despite our many shortcomings and misdeeds Canada is morally superior to the US and for almost everyone but the richest 1%, life in Canada is way better than in the US
  24. Not even close in comparison in size or how far along the contact had gone. Besides in that case we were the equipment purchaser, not the seller and we paid the cancellation fees specified in the contract. Totally different. Nice try though. That’s a typical day in America. Given Republicans since Reagan alone have a track record of selling chemical weapons to Saddam Hussein and all sorts of missiles and hardware to Iran, creating and/or funding the Taliban, Al Qaeda, numerous Latin American death squads and drug cartels that’s pretty fucking rich. Spare me your crocodile tears
  25. Trudeau didn’t take unprecedented and action never before seen in Canada or probably elsewhere to cancel a multi-billion dollar arms deal that’s already well underway and approved by the previous government before he took office, which have resulted in decades of lawsuits and millions of dollars in legal fees .....you seriously think that’s the same as Trump doling out favours to foreign regimes who personally enrich him by frequenting his businesses? That’s fucking idiotic.
