3rd world governments suck. They're run like the mafia. So we basically have very well- funded mobs running around the country killing and intimidating Canadians and funding or infiltrating politicians, parties, and governments. Trudeau booted the Indian reps when he was set to take the stand in the Hogue foreign interference inquiry. More cynical PR politics from the Liberals. Do they think Canadians are stupid?

Even evil rightwing governments that hate children and the poor like Alberta have dental and prescription drug coverage plans for low income and seniors. And dental is a provincial jurisdiction so the the feds can't "force" any provinces to do anything, they have to consent. https://www.albertadentalassociation.ca/for-the-public/dental-support-programs-for-albertans/ https://www.alberta.ca/drug-coverage-health-benefits

Liberal MPs want to keep their jobs and don't want to go into the next election led by who is considered the worst PM in the country's history. Maybe instead of voting with the PM to bounce JWR from the party for doing her job ethically they should have stayed loyal to democracy and bounced Trudeau instead.

If we want people to live peacefully together within a single country we need to focus on national identity that includes everyone over smaller group identities. We've done the exact opposite in Canada the last few decades. Tribalism is rising all over the western world. Some of that is due to demographic changes, but progressives haven't been helping with all the recent woke ideology that focuses on group identity.

There were no easy answers in that situation. I really don't even know how they planned to implement the 1947 UN Partition Plan that passed had the 1948 war not happened. Your idea to give Jews a part of Germany would have also likely meant non-Jews would have had to move. If i were in the Palestinian situation i'd understand why Israel wanted their land and religious sites back but would be mad if forced to move, i'd want compensation, and I'd fight it, especially if family members and friends were killed, but I also wouldn't be targeting civilians for murder. Empathy is a 2-way street. If your race was booted out of your native lands and being exterminated in Europe and every white country was racist against you'd probably prefer your own country back than continuing to flee as a refugee.

I believe the British led that coup. Regardless, no it wasn't very nice to do that, to say the least. The question is why did they do it? It was part of the cold war. Oil is the lifeblood of the western economy and militaries. If oil starts being nationalized across the middle-east and controlled by communist/socialist interests allied with the USSR then it becomes a massive national security risk because they can block oil to western countries just like the US did to the Japanese empire in 1941, which is why they attacked Pearl harbor. OPEC countries created an economic crisis in 1973 by disrupting oil supplies to western countries for political reasons. The Iranian Revolution also caused oil insecurity that crippled our economy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1970s_energy_crisis So then the choice for NATO is either risk allowing that to happen or be engage in morally questionable foreign policy that protects you but screws over Iran. The ethics are problematic either way.

The oath is a legal contract signed verbally. In law nobody gets to unilaterally change the contracts they sign at a whim after they sign off on the contract without the consent of the other party, in this case the government. Canadians decide laws, but are signed off by the monarch (or their rep, the GG). So all laws are the King's laws. If you swear an oath to the monarch you're signing an oath to the monarch's laws and monarch's country, which is Canada. An oath to the monarch is the same as an oath to the country, don't get wrapped up in technicalities. Dougie is sore Canada became an independent country that's 100% sovereign from the British Crown and doesn't even understand the oaths he's swore.

In 1946-47 Mandatory Palestine was ruled by the British Empire, who captured it from the Ottoman Empire which fell during WWI, who captured it from other Arab empires, who captured it from the Roman Empire yada yada. The last time Palestine/Israel was sovereign pre-1948 was probably 2000+ years ago.

You agreed to the oath by your own willful actions, nobody forced you. It's a verbal legal contract. It's a gift many have and would die for. If you don't agree to it anymore then you renounce your oath and citizenship. Yes that's your decision. If I moved to another country I'd either abide by the local laws or leave. I certainly wouldn't feel so entitled to start changing the most basic aspects of their constitution to suit my own beliefs. You couldn't even begin to comprehend the psychological HORRORS, the crippling mental disabilities, members of my family have suffered most of their lives as a result of defending this country so the likes of you can have the freedom to mouth off like an entitled brat and treat your oath like a joke. So who the F*** do you think you are?

And the Arabs have been willing to share? And don't believe it's Muslim land? You've been listening to too many activists and repeating their narratives. Do your own research. Israel told the UN peacekeepers to leave and have told them they'll be launching attacks near their area. If they don't leave during an active war that's on them. They aren't "bombing UN peacekeepers". Israel has a right to defend themselves and the UNs job isn't to act as human shields to prevent conflict. You're spreading false narratives and it needs to stop. Again, do your own research and stop believing twitter activists.

No not everyone knows that. Some claim Israel is escalating the conflict, which it is. Iran and it's proxy firing missiles at Israel is the main escalation, but these people think Israel is the bad guy and aggressor. Canadian politicians wagging their fingers while letting another country do most of their foreign military protection for them while pretending to be more virtuous is a bit rich. We don't have to live under constant attack. It's also clear that Melanie Joly hasn't a clue and can barely tie her shoelaces let alone analyze foreign affairs. She's in her cabinet position because she's a woman, not because she's the most competent. Appearances matter more than substance in a Trudeau gov.

I think most reasonable people would prefer peace. The problem is Hezbollah, a proxy for Iranian foreign policy against Israel (among others), has been launching attacks at Israel. That's a clear act of war. Israel would likely be attacked by them less had they not illegally occupied the West Bank and the Golan Heights. Israel would not have occupied the West Bank and the Golan Heights had Israel not been attacked by its Arab neighbours in 1967. I could keep going for 1400 years.

You don't think Hamas are genociders? Or their supporters who were in the streets on Oct 7 as Jews mourned being massacred and taken hostage by them? So how is it not cause and effect and blowback for the Islamic caliphate empire conquering Israel 1400 years ago and ethnically cleansing the Jews? Your first reaction is to blame Canada, the US, Europe, but not those that actually started this whole mess in the first place. As I said, stop feeling guilty all the time and blaming yourself for everything. This is the first i've seen you say this. Someone's first take to the information I've presented in the OP should be "this is terrible, people should not be supporting Hamas jihadist terrorism against civilians in our streets" not "this is our fault and now we're paying the price" There's no excuses for anyone breaking international law. Whichever entity does it is irrelevant. When people behave and speak like Nazis and antisemites i'll call them Nazis and antisemites. If someone is expressing or implementing woke ideology i'll call them that too. There's nothing wrong with using appropriate labels. If people don't want to be called Nazis then i'd suggest they stop supporting the indiscriminate massacre of Jewish civilians. Define "you people". People who do not tolerate violent racist rhetoric and support for terrorism against civilians? I have no issues with people being upset at people dying in war or with illegal Israeli settlements or Israel breaking other international laws, nor would I even be upset if they support attacks on Israeli military targets. The issue here is people marching in support of Hamas on the Oct 7 anniversary and others calling for the death of Israel and Canada. Oct 7 was not a legitimate act of resistance, it was an act of terrorism against civilians. I shouldn't have to qualify my disgust for these pro-Hamas protestors filling our streets across Canada on Oct 7. They should never have been ethnically cleansed from their indigenous lands. The vast majority of Arabs, Palestinians, Muslims don't want to share, don't want any compromise, they want literally 100% of the state of Israel gone and will stop at nothing until that happens. "From the river to the sea...". Israel has a right to exist and share the territory with Palestinians. Ancient religious sites and buildings belong to Jews and they have just as much right to live in the cities they helped originally form and build as the Arabs do who helped do the same. Imagine if today non-indigenous Canadians wanted to take over all native reserve land and all the unceded land in BC and QC and ethnically cleanse a lot of them and kill innocent indigenous civilians to do it. I'd call them genocidal maniacs. Good thing I haven't done that. Equating this OP with racism is ridiculous. Not all Muslims/Arabs in Canada marched in the streets on Oct 7. Get a grip. That's the whole point. We're all individuals with unique characteristics regardless of race or gender, we're not defined by our skin colour or gender and treating people as such is racist and sexist.

No the genociders in Gaza and their supporters in Canada. I'm sorry you hate yourself and blame yourself and your country for all the world's woes and put no responsibility on terrorist genocidal maniacs and their supporters. You do this again and again. Being a victim doesn't excuse their behaviour. My views are mine alone, i'm not responsible for the views of other people you seem to associate me with but whom I don't associate with. But I can tell you that weak self-hating people like yourself are unable to defend this country and its people from those that threaten it. Criminals, terrorists, foreign governments. The proof is in the pudding. You can only defend our country from the people you don't like (billionaires). You should probably dislike genocidal terrorist supporters also. I would hope you believe they're antisemites if they're telling Jews "to go back to Europe". Most leftists are racists and don't even know it. When people treat others differently depending on their race, religion, that means they're racists and bigots. Justin Trudeau treats everyone different based on their skin colour, gender etc. It's just weird. Who has more power: Coolio, DUI Offender, or Five of Swords?
