And how's that working out for ya? To hear you people speak, our threat is existential - a clear and present danger.

AI says... Canada: Climate change, combined with geopolitical factors, is a primary driver behind a projected food price increase of 4% to 6% for 2026 in Canada. While there is no single percentage for total food inflation attributed solely to climate change, researchers warn it could increase food prices by up to 3.2% every year globally. By contrast, the carbon tax has been found to have "essentially no impact" (near 0%) on food prices, as farmers are largely exempt from direct costs that would be passed to consumers.

You people have been screeching this for as long as I can remember. For over 50 years commies have successfully invaded, infiltrated and indoctrinated every level of government without having to fire a single shot. How do you explain that? What do you tell future generations - perhaps something like David Suzuki who said he tried and did his best? Maybe the bigger threat is you for not doing a thing to stop it. I mean, Canadians used to give their lives trying to do something about people like me and old Dave. I spend way more time LMAO at them as I get older. It's far healthier and more constructive.

Ya gits what you paid for.

Sure...even you deserve a Nobel compared to Trump.

Chump change compared to the skewering we feel from the way carbon taxes multiply. Besides, the ME conflict will drive oil company profits higher, yeilding more millionaires and billionaires meaning things will remain just as right as rain as ever.

🤣

Until the day he cuts a deal with that regime. Then it'll be all about sour grapes over his Nobel nomination.

I think it could have been avoided if Eisenhower had been more like Truman and likewise told Churchill to go pizz up a rope.

So what the fùck is it about Russians that make them so hard to get along with? Whether they're Jewish or religious seems to have nothing to do with it. Even the atheists are nuts if the commies are anything to go by. It's also a little ironic that so many Russians came to have so much influence over the US government. There's a lot of that going around these days apparently.

That was your toaster telling you to keep it out of this. Sure kid.

Stop projecting. I've m seen a few reviews now too, on CBC even. They seem pretty good. I certainly haven't seen anything that suggests Poilievre said anything that embarrassed himself or Canada. Just asshats emotionally invested in their preconceived notions piping up. Like you, here and now, piping up.

In the short term but in the end this will likelier only push the world harder in the direction of alternatives. Now is when we should be taxing windfall war profits to hasten the development of alternatives.

Where? You mean someone's actually listening and taking all this down? It's about time.

What is that exactly in today's might makes right world? I support building a spaceport in NS, launching a handful of nuclear bombs into orbit, telling the world to not even think about it and...Bob's your uncle. I bet we could easily do that for a tenth of the cost of COVID. Tax the 1% to pay for it and ordinary Canadians wouldn't even notice.

I'll wait for the reader's digest version thanks. Like when broadcasters switch to breaking news of Trump flapping his gums. He's practically a cure for procrastination.

We should turn Cuba into a medical paradise. Line a bunch of sunny beaches with hospitals and send everyone there for treatment and recovery. A buddy of mine was commenting the other day he had just about every other tooth in his head worked on in Thailand for what it costs to get a root canal done here in BC. And we have some 13000 doctors in Canada dying to be doctors who're flipping burgers and driving Uber Eats instead. It's fùcking pathetic.

I think one thing that's indelibly imprinted on Canadians concerns is that having more money will facilitate queue jumping. As for more doctors let's not forget Cuba has some 9.5 doctors per 1000 people and Canada has 2.5. We shouldn't be overlooking this if we're truly committed to looking at healthcare systems around the world. I mean, health outcomes in Cuba, at least up until very recently with the world trying to squash them into complete submission, have been amongst the highest for a reason. And I doubt it's just low wages at $120 a month per doctor.

America is forever being led around by the nose in the ME. How else do they get to the End of Days without Israel? In any case Britain did a lot more to help create the Nakba and was especially effective at miring America in the ME in 1953. And of course who can ever forget Colin Powell's comic books?🤣 How Britain has evaded so much of its responsibility for the original mess speaks to how outclassed and pathetic the US is when it comes to big power geopolitics. It's why America has been such a sitting duck for Putin ever since he mesmerized Bush Jr. At least as important as letting a bunch of other Russians carry on with causing a disaster in Europe.

No doubt they'll kick up a fuss and forget how well the gamble paid off in terms of putting the pandemic behind us. If we'd waited for a conventional fully tested vaccine we'd still be waiting and the death and illness rates would likely resemble those of the Spanish Flu. Hopefully next time they'll come up with a vaccine they can just add to the water or use chemtrails to disperse it.

In either case I think both levels of our governments are far enough away from the ground where people need healthcare that accountability to those people is easy to avoid. Germany, often touted as having a better system than ours, is far more decentralized than ours. Close enough to the ground that people matter and are better positioned to influence policymaking. Germany: Highly decentralized via approximately 1,000 autonomous statutory sickness funds. These funds are regional or employment-based and operate independently of the federal government for daily management and funding. Canada: Operates a single-payer system where provincial and territorial governments act as the sole insurers within their respective regions. There is no choice between different public insurers. It occurs to me that Japan simply being an island and a much geographically smaller place would similarly make it more difficult for administrators to distance themselves from the public they serve.

A lot of these boomers are also struggling to hang onto those homes so they'll have something to pass on to their kids. That said it wasn't long ago I recall boomers being told to scrape off their entitled offspring so they'd learn something about the value of a hard day's work.

About the same as always for COVID but I can't help but notice how much disbelief and mistrust in general attends so many more controversies than before. It's just not healthy.

It seems to me he's probably read enough to come up with a snappy wisecrack. But seriously, and because I have family members who think like you I have asked my team what they think of all the controversy and they all just shake their heads at how sad it is there's so much hooey out there.

What people everywhere do when they've had enough. And if Russians are determined to be a bunch of mindless donkeys and follow Putin the way MAGA follows Trump then fùck them too.
