NAME REMOVED

Can you do us all a favor, and define "woke?" Is woke a political party, a movement, or....? I am unfamiliar which what woke encompasses.

This is the whole problem with ypur argument. You cannot even comprehend the Ukrainian perspective. This is only about "holding appearances" for the Russian side. It's survival for the Ukrainians.

I am going to go to Amazon.com, and see if they have any books or tutorials about using the "quote function properly. We have been debating for so long, I feel it is the least I can do for you.

Yes, of course Russians are different, when it comes to every single ethnic group in human history. *rolls eyes* I've grown tired of debating with people, who just parrot Russian propaganda.

Let's see these polls.

No you do not...at least in Canada. Mock polling was conducted in 2020, to see who Canadians would prefer during that election. It was 84-16 Biden. "Woke" is an intellectually lady word, which could mean anything, and really has no clear definition.

This is one of the most ridiculous things I have heard. First off, Russia has gained hardly any land in the past year....maybe 0.1% of Ukraine. Ukrainians have far more incentive to fight than the Russians. This would explain the casualty rate being 2:1 in favour of Ukraine. This whole "special operation" has been an unmitigated disaster for Russia. Morale is not high on either side, but the Ukrainians have far more will to carry on, since they are actually fighting to defend their territory.

Rent. Free.

lol...this post says way more about you than it does me. For starters, you have no idea about my personal life, and just like your political opinions, resort to making things up. Secondly, why can't you quote me properly? You use 3 or 4 words in my post, and base your rebuttal on that. At any rate, you are in a bad mood and I hope your day gets better from here. Go out and enjoy the weather or take a bike ride. You will feel better 😀

What an ironic post.

When forum members who lack the intelligence to debate, they resort to projecting their faults onto others...

That's not a positive. See Clinton, Hillary. lol...that explains the current state of the World. All we are, is a bunch of Apes that are too intelligent (and selfish), for our own good.

Any talk of human progress were undone by the discovery of the death camps, and the murder of 25 million civilians in WW2. Although we have committed more genocides against each other in the last 50 years than any time before, so if that is progress I don't know what to tell you

No progress. Look at the US right now. 1/2 the population is going to vote for Trump. Do you really think we are better off than 25 years ago when most adults in N America did not have access to cell phones or the internet, let alone lsocial media.

Nope. I'm just countering your false belief that human beings have "progressed" in the last century.

I hate to break this to you, but it's pretty much always been this way with certain groups. Ukrainians were welcomed over 100 years ago, when they helped settle the prairies by moving on to farms, and doing agriculture work.

That's strange. Canada has been very welcoming of the 250,000+ Ukrainian refugees. Let's just come right out and say it- some ethnic groups are more compatible with the Canadian way of life and values, than others.

From the July 2, 1942 edition of the New York Times: https://www.nytimes.com/1942/07/02/archives/allies-are-urged-to-execute-nazis-report-on-slaughter-of-jews-in.html from November 25, 1942: https://www.nytimes.com/1942/11/25/archives/himmler-program-kills-polish-jews-slaughter-of-250000-in-plan-to.html From December 18, 1942: https://www.nytimes.com/1942/12/18/archives/11-allies-condemn-nazi-war-on-jews-united-nations-issue-joint.html Your hatred of Jews hinders your ability to debate properly.

Worst. Comparison. Ever.

"Government officials from the State Department to the FBI to President Franklin Roosevelt himself argued that refugees posed a serious threat to national security. Yet today, historians believe that Bahr's case was practically unique—and the concern about refugee spies was blown far out of proportion." The "official Government narrative" and the reality of the situation did not align. FDR and the US Government had knowledge of the Holocaust by 1942, and persecution of the Jews of Germany throughout the 30s. There was even a movement to boycott the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. The Government did not want to say that they did not care about the plight of the German Jews. Feeding the press the "spies" narrative, was easier to accept on moral grounds.

That was a one-off deal. The Jews were persecuted at the worst time possible. The majority of North American Jews came from the Russian Empire during the pogroms and antisemitism there during the late 19th century up until WW1. By the 1930's most countries had drastically reduced immigration due to the Great Depression. However, Jews, like many other groups, have always contributed to Canadian culture, and as a whole, have not brought their wars to their new homeland. The Palestinians have a horrible track record of this. From personal experience, nearly all the Palestinian-Canadians I have met, hate Jews in general. They also,a s a collective, celebrated 9/11, and openly waved Palestinian flags from overpasses just a couple of hours after the October 7 massacre began. Until these people can leave their wars and prejudice behind from where they came from, I am against any immigration from that part of the World. What does it say, when even other Arab nations build walls, preventing Palestinians from entering their countries?

Actually, they have already published exact numbers. Canada has agreed to admit 5,000 Palestinian refugees, no more than that. No country is foolish to take in anywhere near 1,000,000 Palestinians. 99.9% of the Canadian population would be completely against a number over 50,000, and it would be political suicide to admit that many refugees, considering the backlash of admitting 2.3 million people to Canada since 2022.

The US refused to give refuge to Jews, considering it was the Great Depression, and most countires had tightened their immigration quotas, especially to Jews. It had literally nothing to do with being "spies" as the persecution of Jews was well known to the Western World. Illegals are not "flooding" Canada. It's non-permanent residents that the Government has let in.

1. The only way Israel could potentially empty out Gaza, is by genocide. Right now, Israel is not even remotely close to emptying out Gaza. Egypt, Jordan, and other Arab nations are refusing to take them in. 2. How is Israel "losing" to Hamas? 3. Canada has only pledged to take in 5,000 Palestinian refugees. so many questions...

Well, I think Biden is headed to defeat. The Democrats know something that the public does not. It would make no sense for some of Biden's most influential allies to start calling on him to resign. I am convinced Biden is in cognitive decline, and it will just get worse from here. The problem with the Democrats, is they either chooses great candidates that can win (Clinton, Obama, etc) or candidates who had no business leading the party (i.e Hilary Clinton- voted most unpopular first lady in US history in 2001). I am still convinced that the only Democrat who can sink Trump, would be Obama, and he cannot run.
