That's bullshit and almost no one but MAGA hats and Putin stooges would agree with you. But even if that was true, could you blame Zelensky for playing any card he can, it is his country that is being bled white fighting for its ability to exist. So guarantee Ukraine's independence once an agreement is signed. Why would Ukraine sign anything without guarantees they can depend on, they might as well commit suicide.

CBC is Revolting Garbage and Needs to GO
Aristides replied to WestCanMan's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
The Conservatives did accuse Carney of lying, that wasn't made up. Because the share holders vote was delayed till after he left what he said may be technically true but the fact is, the board of directors, which he was head, had unanimously approved the move. To say he wasn't involved in the move was less than honest is an understatement. For me, the move of the company office is less important than the lack of honesty coming from someone who will likely be our prime minister, even for a short time. -
If Trump really wanted an end to this war he would guarantee the security whatever remains of Ukraine after a settlement. He won't do it because he expects Putin to finish the job and he won't do anything to stop it. Even if Trump was offering guarantees, Zelensky would be a fool to believe them because Trump has shown he doesn't respect any deals he makes.

Tariffs on Canadian Goods
Aristides replied to NAME REMOVED's topic in Canada / United States Relations
I think the time has come to say, do what you are going to do Donald and we will deal with it. We're done playing this game. The US has the largest prison population on the planet yet half of them think they have to be armed to feel safe. -
Trump, Musk, the IRS and Taxes
Aristides replied to Radiorum's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
The top 1% in the US already has 16 times more wealth than the bottom 50%. By the time Trump and Musk finish it will be 25 times. -

Kind of underlines the importance of reading the whole article, regardless of the source. -

Just because you don't read farther doesn't mean others don't but we seem to have morphed into a short attention span culture. Must be frustrating for people who go to the trouble of digging deep and providing information that people are too lazy to read but that isn't the writer's fault. Might as well just write headlines and not bother with anything else. -

Aristides replied to WestCanMan's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
it passes along a lot of information if you bother to read it. Information that allows you to reach your own conclusion. The conclusion I reached is that Carney was not being honest. I think it is fair to be critical of the headline but the article is very informative. if you want to learn anything you have to read past the headline. Anyones headline. -

The only thing you have convinced me of is that you haven't read the article. I do agree about the headline. -

Aristides replied to WestCanMan's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
I'm really disappointed in you. Did you bother to read the rest of the article? It goes into some depth about Carney's holdings and what his position was when the company moved. It would be hard to conclude anything other than he was not being honest about being involved in the move. -
Liberal Party Takes Lead in Polls
Aristides replied to TreeBeard's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
The fact that 72% of Albertans said oil should be used as a weapon against Trump’s tariffs indicates little support for separation and joining the US. -

Aristides replied to WestCanMan's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
I watched a CBC segment on that and they went into it extensively. They asked all those questions, it wasn't a puff piece at all and it didn't reflect well on Carney. Did you actually watch it or are you just parroting what your RW sources tell you. -
Peace Arch is the busiest border crossing in BC. February crossings were down over 30% from last year, almost all of them Canadians. US border towns are worried.
