US, World's biggest oil producer.

Did you bother to read your own link. It states that Churchill's statements before the war have been misquoted or taken out of context. His job as first lord of the Admiralty was to make sure the British fleet was prepared to counter the massive buildup in the German High Seas Fleet, which he did. The security of Britain's empire and being an island nation, its own survival depended on command of the seas. By 1910 Churchill had seen action in three wars including taking part in Britain's last meaningful cavalry charge, being captured, escaping and crossing 300 miles of enemy territory to safety on his own. He also commanded a battalion on the Western Front for a short time during WW1. He did know what war was about.

Canada needs a female leader
Aristides replied to CITIZEN_2015's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
I guess you could say that of any minister, the PM is their boss. She did a good job as justice minister and her proposed firearms legislation was far superior to the long arms registry fiasco and current bans with the supposed buy back that the Liberals are botching. -

Her tendency to speak her mind was one of her failings as a politician. Telling people things they don’t want to hear won’t get many votes. -

I disagree, she had a good record as a minister and think she could have done well as a PM. -
Hush falls on GOP as Trump fails all attempts to block his TRIAL Proceeding; multiple Appeals on often frivolous grounds denied by Judge Trump personally insulted many times in addition to threats of violence against him and his family and staff

Drinking the Trump Kool-aid can land you in jail. https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/arizona-trump-fake-electors-indictment-1.7184276 -
God didn’t give you the rights you have today, humans did and they can also take them away if you are not prepared to defend them yourself. Humans could take any right you have away and god wouldn’t lift a finger to help you get it back. I have no dilemma, I live in the real world. Next you are going to tell me god wrote the second amendment.

But you do.

It started because Putin wants a bunch of Ukraine if not all of it. He annexed Crimea in 2014 and had been fighting a proxy war in Donbas ever since. They even shot down a Malaysian airliner. You would sell out your grandmother to avoid standing up to a tyrant. This is more like 1939 than 1914.

Russia wants regime change in Ukraine. They already started a war.

Would't hurt. I think Campbell would have made a pretty good PM but she inherited the Mulroney government baggage and put too much trust in the incompetents running the Conservative campaign. Not Freeland though, she would just keep spending us into bankruptcy. -
Capital Gains Tax vs Income Tax
Aristides replied to August1991's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Tax dollars go to government, not banks. Banks actually pay taxes. https://financialpost.com/news/election-2021/this-is-how-much-the-big-six-banks-would-have-to-pay-if-trudeaus-tax-goes-through
