But they get along... as opposed of Quebecers and the rest of Canada. Equalization payments are from Feds to the Provinces...not the other way around. Also No, the EU does not have a formal system of equalization paymentlike those found in countries like Canada Clearly LOL

You know those beers are made in Canada??? Using Canadian grains and hops and water and made by Canadian workers at Labatts brewery?? Labatt Brewing Company, a Canadian brewery, is responsible for brewing and distributing Budweiser in Canada.

Nope, just saying the it was an opinion piece on that the "viral post" and I asked what was incorrect with the viral post. Got a response that made no sense and did not answer the question. I never once said they were charged with "illegal protesting". They were charged with breaking existing laws. King was charged with " two counts of disobeying a court order and one each of mischief, counselling to commit mischief and counselling to obstruct a public or peace officer.". Hmmmmmm, whatcha talkin about Willis ? LOL

King broke the law and is paying for it. The "many" fiasco supporters were/are all sitting at home while King is punished...yeah...a sacrifice alright LOL I bet he feels better his life is ruined and the "supporters" are drinkin a beer and are just fine LOL Sympathy is between shit and syphilis in the dictionary and his supporters sympathize LOL Who impeded freedom of speech? You are babbling BS and no one is stopping you LOL Only a loser like you cannot see the forest through the trees LOL Whatever helps you sleep at night LOL

Well, your diatribe is just another opinion piece. just as substack is because you did not like the post LOL Fact is, the supposed leaders were arrested and charged and King was sentenced. The others will follow. That is not opinion, it is fact LOL Ya gotta get over it LOL. They got their due. It amazes me how many opinions of the truckers fiasco are from people that do not live in Ottawa and did not experience it first hand.

He was not a political prisoner.... he could have walked out any time he wanted. He just had to post bail but, no one posted his bail so he sat. That is his fault and no one elses LOL. The guy was charged and sentenced under law. His lawyers could not get the charges quashed so, he pays for the crimes. He did not stand up for his freedoms, he was asked to stop and he did not, he broke pretty simple laws and was punished for them. Stop pretending you are not an1diot. Anyone pro Putin, pro Trump , pro Musk is an 1diotThe 3 most despised people in the world right now and you are pro them. I guess you are OK what he is dong to Canada right now??? Yup you are a 1diot. LOL

Canada is the world's largest producer of potash, an alkaline potassium compound used in fertilizers. In 2022, Canada produced 38% of the world's potash, which was about 24.6 million metric tons. Canada has the world's largest potash reserves, with 1.1 billion tonnes of potash The Canadian province of Saskatchewan has the world's largest potash reserves Russia and Belarus are the second and fourth largest potash producing countries, respectively. So, if China and US wants to deal with them...then go ahead LOL (China might :))

Probably correct, Carney will not be PM. Gonna be fun to watch with PP in a minority fighting with Liberal/NDP and potentially Bloc Québécois .

The truth, according to that one writer. LOL So, what exactly was incorrect about the so called "viral social media post"? Substack is an American site that publishes news articles, essays, opinion pieces, niche expertise, podcasts, discussion threads, and videos that allows anyone and everyone to write what they want...sort of like ..."social media" LOL Anyway, article (?) is as valid as any of the biased posts here...argumentative and without proof or merit.

OK, considering 80% of the potash goes to the US and the largest consumer of potash is China and we seemed to have pissed off both of those countries, now what?? Just saying sell and ship to someone else is not as easy as saying it. It can take years to get trade deals with other countries and in the meantime....what?? It is always easy to complain and say things but the reality hammer must come down.

I think that is your personal problem. The 4 candidates have been in the news and in the public debate. Bailis was the only one that was not a sitting MP. 150,000 liberal members voted. Who were PP's opposition? Nobody remembers them and probably never heard of them either. PP won by a large majority too.

No sermon, that was you LOL Carney was elected by his party. Elon was appointed by his king LOL

Bottom line a conservative minority against a liberal/ndp coalition or with help from the quebecers will get zero done. Todays political climate is not what it was back in the 40's, 50's and, 60's. Parties are very fractured. Not discussing, giving you my opinion.

You don't have to care. I just responded to your post. Makes no difference to me.

"Minority governments in today’s political culture will remain the childish, high-volume, low-achievement exercises that have driven more and more Canadians to distraction and dismayed them about the state of Canadian politics"

Seems to me that Americans, Russians, Chinese, Israelis with the best equipment in the world die on the battlefield too. We have danced around the military pay before. Most civilians would be more than happy to get what the military person gets. When Joe Blow walks in off the street he makes $43K per year as an untrained private up to $63K per year 4 years later, that's pretty good. As a journeyman, 4 years in they make $72K per year and up. The pay scales tells a lot. https://www.canada.ca/en/department-national-defence/services/benefits-military/pay-pension-benefits/pay/regular.html#toc0 They pay is much higher than most civilians earn for equivalent work (yes, there are no soldiers in civvy world except for mercenaries but most occupations have civilian counterparts.)..and not all military are front line combatants (which get a lot extra money for going into zones or being deployed, members receive a tax-free salary while deployed on international operation). The Canadian military has over 100 occupations.... most are non combatant occupations. It is also a lot higher pay than American forces. Also, what company has to subsidize it's employees in housing?? Or provide social services extra to what anyone else can get? Don't give me the "poor military person" BS. EDIT: Just to add, in my former SAR world, the government felt that the military support staff (mechanics etc) were too expensive and therefore contracted out to a civilian organization (IMP Aerospace) all SAR helicopter maintenance. It is doing the same with with Fixed Wing SAR aircraft coming on stream this year (to Pal Aerospace) and the the military aspect will be aircrew only. All to save money because the troops cost too much.

And how many in Canada in all its years?

Ha yea, the NDP got what they wanted. Can you imagine the NDP holding the conservatives hostage??? LOL

Like the last 2 liberal minority governments??? Negotiations??? Where? Cooperation? When? Liberals were the offical government but the NDP were the ones getting what they want if they supported liberals or nothing was done Minority governments do not work either.

I am saying your posts are complaining about the military, your own posts prove that. Not shutting you down, just saying. I have no doubt you will continue to complain about the military. An Airman also says, EVER PASS A FAULT. Cannot allow an aircraft crash. As the thread topic says "Never forget we are Canadian" and that includes all the serving Military people doing what they do with what they got....and doing it well too.

You just proved my point. It is not my military anymore and like I said, it was very good to me and to what I did for Canadians So, you say I should ignore you?? Difficult thing when you are on many threads and bombast the military every chance you get. You also have a good day

Just by your constant complaining about the military.... The military is it's people as well as it's equipment. It is my perception that when you mention the military, it is to complain about it.

Didn't Palestinians invade an Israeli music festival and kill many and take hostages first and send rockets intp Israel? There is more to what story? Whos political reasons? You said "money should have been used to improve our manufacturing capacities, so we do VAT work on those raw materials and export products instead. " "Now we are so far behind, there is no catching up. ".Who are you talking about then??? And what is VAT??

Oh? Ukraine was not invaded by Russia? Oh, we should do nothing against the US for their economic invasion to us and accept what the US is doing to us? What nonsense are you posting?? LOL

Wouldn't that be kinda good LOL Screw all American EV brands and particularly Tesla, and import Chinese EV'S LOL
