Aristides

Sure they did. Fantasy land. The only kind of peace Ukraine wants is for Russia to get out of their country.

Volunteering isn't about expecting something in return. Why should they provide for your needs when you are perfectly capable of looking after them yourself?

I don't use social media for news. So where would social media get its news if there were no news media, just make it up? You surely can't believe the people who link sites on social media aren't biased. Seriously? Ya Napster, it wasn't doing anything Google and Meta aren't doing now.

Except many don't, social media has become the major source of news for young people. Real media outlets need an income in order to provide the news sources social media outlets use for free. I suppose you think Napster was a great thing as well. After all they were just allowing people to share their music collections and the artists got nothing. I don't see any difference between Napster and social media outlets letting users post links to other peoples copyright.

Why should someone volunteer to work for you?

Almost all police officers are taught that technique including Canadian officers but applying it for nine minutes goes completely against how they were trained to use it.

Someone has to produce that news for Google and Facebook otherwise there would be no news story to link. Everyone expects something for nothing these days, they go to bat for the people who freeload off producers instead of supporting those producers.

What news coverage exactly does Google or Facebook produce? How many reporters and journalists do they employ.

It's also worth noting that Minneapolis paid out a $27 million settlement on a wrongful death suit.

They also elected Modi.

It was plenty of ethnic cleansing on both sides.

Canadian banks have branches in other countries as well, including the US.

Floyd didn't put an officers knee on his neck for over 9 minutes, including after he was unconscious. You probably think these guys are heroes as well. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/08/04/mississippi-police-torture-goon-squad-racist/

I don't understand all these guys bending over backwards to defend Chauvin like they think they are defending the police. All they are doing is giving more ammunition to people who claim all police are like Chauvin.

Of course I read it and that is pretty much exactly what you said.

He had his knee on the guys throat for over 9 minutes and didn't take it off even after EMT's arrived. Are you saying Floyd deserved to die because he had underlying medical conditions?

I don't think you do.

The guy who stabbed him was white.

Everyone around the world knows more about the US dollar. It is the world's reserve currency and when times are uncertain it is in demand.

So what happens when our debt servicing costs equal our revenues? We become Argentina. Why would we need a government if it only exists to pay interest on debt? What will our currency be worth then? We are borrowing to pay interest on what we already owe. How long would you or your kids last doing that? This year we are spending 46.5 billion to pay interest on debt, that is 46.5 billion that provides no value to Canadians. 46.5 billion that can't be spent on things we actually need and it is only getting worse. What happens when creditors say no, we don't want your debt because it is devaluing your currency at rate that makes your debt a poor investment? Basically that is what happened in 93 and forced Chretien and Martin to make drastic cuts in federal spending.

That's net debt. What government assets would you sell off to get it to a real 40%. Our debt servicing costs this year will be 46.5 billion and our deficit is 40 billion. We are borrowing 40 billion to pay the interest on what we already owe. This will only get worse as we borrow more and old debt at low interest matures and has to be re issued at higher rates because we don't pay anything off. Our debt servicing costs are forecast to exceed 60 billion by 2028/29 and if governments keep racking up deficits it will be even more. This debt to GDP crap is a scam used to avoid real fiscal responsibility. Right now our GDP is shrinking while the government borrows like nothing is wrong.

Federal debt to GDP is about 70%. When you add in provincial and municipal debt we are well over 100%. When you look at our 73 cent dollar, it is pretty clear more people want US paper than Canadian.

Ya, we know laws don't apply to your god Trump.

Three of the last four treaties were signed by the former Liberals. Look it up. You are mistaken. As populations have increased F/N have just become a lot more savvy when it comes to developing their lands. Good examples would be the Osoyoos and Westbank bands.

Yet you support what Chauvin did.
