It was certainly worth a shot compared to what we got. I know it's just a bunch of woulda coulda shoulda...but that only leaves me wondering what we should be paying attention to now that we'll be wishing we'd done differently in the future. Lest we forget it was the Republicans who saw fit to put Iran on its original path to dysfunction. To deter Russia.

Is there any reason to believe the secular democracy emerging in Iran that the US snuffed in 1953 would have had any reason to be belligerent towards Israel? I can't see any myself.

Yeah but who would have ever imagined we'd see the day when so many Americans would cozy up to a new improved Russian Empire ruled with an iron fist by a former KGB officer? Actually now that I think about it, Jerry Pournelle.

The best part of this vote is that the GOP infighting over it that's tearing the party apart is centred on the opinions of the stupidest douch-bag Republicans have ever produced. She epitomizes why I often say the right-wing is actually a direction instead of a place. I'd love to see Trump pick Marjorie Taylor Greene to be his running mate. It's up there with my desire to see Poilievre hire CdnFox to be his press secretary.

Someone who will unleash people like Black so they can pretty much do whatever they want? Don't worry, nature will take care of regulations along with regulators soon enough and everyone will have the same opportunities.

Oh well, he'll always have Babs. But seriously, isn't this the position everyone should take towards their betters in our society? I bet Connie thinks so.

😭

This is most definitely true and it all started when the Shiniest Beacon for liberty on Earth overthrew democracy in Iran in 1953. England, like Eve did to Adam, talked America into taking a bite from the proverbial apple. The US, despite its initial hesitancy, bit hard and deep and savored it like a baby's first candy. The rest as they say is history. Had the Iran operation not succeeded, the idea of covert operations that became such an integral part of American foreign policy during the 1950s and beyond might not have seemed so appealing. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.rferl.org/amp/iran-coup-mossadegh-cia-60th-anniversary/25076552.html But it probably goes back to when everyone ignored General George Patton. If the West had only kept up its pattern of getting rid of dictatorships instead of creating them... I'd probably be posting this from my condo on the moon. Nowadays however... The level of democracy enjoyed by the average world citizen in 2022 is back to 1986 levels. This means that 72 percent of the world's population, 5.7 billion people, live under authoritarian rule”, according to Staffan I. Lindberg, Director of the V-Dem Institute. https://www.gu.se/en/news/the-world-is-becoming-increasingly-authoritarian-but-there-is-hope

Neither did the west really which is why the world is now so full of with dictators. No courage no conviction = more dictators.

Oh well, it'll still be there for Poilievre to abuse to his hearts content when it's his turn.

Yup that's right, with a licence that has whatever conditions the government wants, in this case the words Carbon Tax Rebate on Carbon Tax Rebate deposits.

Nope. And I think Mossadeq was better than England and America too.

Hmmmm. Chartered banks are regulated by the federal Bank Act https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/chartered-bank#:~:text=Chartered banks are regulated by,%2C commercial%2C and other purposes.

Right, because they're actually out to kill or control everyone. Hahaha.

Not at all. In fact vaccine manufacturers want to know about adverse effects so they can develop better ones. I'm curious, were you an anti-vaxxer before COVID by any chance?

As I understand it banks get their charters to operate as per the government's regulations. When is the last time you saw a bank regulate itself?

I'm still waiting for your rebuttal to this. Looks like a pile of dead horses to me.

You dead horse floggers are still stuck in the past science has moved on to more important things.

Einstein's comment on your expectations of a different result.

In honesty? Well, that clinches it for sure.

Don't forget their Orange God is also bearing a cross for his followers. One day people will receive their communion with orange juice and a wedge.

I knew you'd resort to this, especially after you countered it with a study that was done in the US and Europe. You knew that but you're such a shameless hypocritical troll you simply don't care.

It's true. The Moderna and Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines can cause myocarditis but evidence suggests they don’t cause infertility, Guillain-Barré syndrome or Bell’s palsy, according to a new report. https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2024-04-16/were-covid-19-vaccines-to-blame-for-infertility-heart-attacks-a-new-report-weighs-in#:~:text=The report comes shortly after,among previously healthy young people. As for myocarditis... Conclusions Compared with myocarditis associated with covid-19 disease and conventional myocarditis, myocarditis after vaccination with SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines was associated with better clinical outcomes within 90 days of admission to hospital. https://bmjmedicine.bmj.com/content/2/1/e000373

Thank's to the self-correcting nature of science and a review of the initial report it was confirmed that cancer not COVID or vaccine was the cause. Just about all the reviews I've seen on the sketchy things you're counting as being due to vaccine deaths do the same thing.

The Hopkins study dinglenuts posted talks about the effect of people's behaviour on the effectiveness of lock downs and different outcomes in different countries Third, even if lockdowns are successful in initially reducing the spread of COVID-19, the behavioral response may counteract the effect completely, as people respond to the lower risk by changing behavior. Trudeau had the benefit of a more rational better composed and appropriately deferential population. Trudeau's greatest contribution was to mostly keep his mouth just and leave it up to experts to guide us. Meanwhile politicians talking to crowds of Americans referred to their masks as face diapers. I pointed out early in March 2020 that America didn't stand a chance because of the sheer number of yahoos they count as citizens - devout patriots no doubt.
