But what about right now? It's been a year, and over 10 years when you consider that by and large, it's the same people in charge rotating around in positions they're not good at. You can't think of any way that we are demonstrably better off right now?

"The president had the constitutional authority to direct the use of military force because he could reasonably determine that such use of force was in the national interest" That came from the Obama administration.

Neither the US or Israel are perfect, but in a general sense, they are the good guys. Iran's regime, are the bad guys. They have no interest in accepting free and democratic Israel, just as they never had any intention of halting their nuclear weapons program or their terrorist proxies. The Iranian government slaughtering their own people cannot be justified. Israel is justified in defending themselves and they continually went out of their way to limit civilian casualties in Gaza, where it's not that simple to distinguish terrorists from civilians. When it comes to acquiring nuclear weapons, think of it like gun control and background checks...Iran wasn't capable of passing the background check.

Let's see what the Liberal biased CBC said on the same story. https://www.cbc.ca/search?q=randeep sarai conflict of interest&section=news&sortOrder=date&media=all >>No results found for “randeep sarai conflict of interest”. Please try a different search.

Where did I say 'monumental' breach? You responded to my post with your usual downvote. Was Juno News reporting on a valid story? Yes. Were they factually correct? Yes. So you just don't like the messenger even though they got it right. I don't like the CBC overall, but I will and have posted their links here because they get it right, sometimes.

How trustworthy were the Ayatollah's? They 'negotiate' while at the same time, they are constructing HEAVILY fortified underground uranium enrichment facilities. Did they ever stop sponsoring terrorist groups everywhere? No, they didn't.

Allowing radical Islamists to develop nuclear weapons is just bad in every way. One should also not ignore the indisputable fact that Iran was/is behind much of the terrorism in the world. When it comes to regime change in the Islamic world, it's a roll of the dice. Hopefully the Iranian people can make the most out of this opportunity. What does it say when so many Iranians, in that country and all over the world, are thrilled that the Ayatollah is dead? It was a brutal dictatorship through and through.

Far more sensible to prevent rather than respond to a nuclear attack. Trump has been pretty consistent with his stance on how to treat Iran.

Breaking news...🙄 33,000 temporary workers all set to get permanent residency in Canada Immigration minister Lena Metlege Diab says initiative is part of plan to reduce non-permanent residents while addressing labour shortages In order to lower the number of non-permanent residents in the country...the Liberals will just give them permanent residency. The mainstream media will tout it as 'promise made-promise kept' even though the whole thing is bogus. https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/chandigarh/33000-temporary-workers-all-set-to-get-permanent-residency-in-canada-10568683/

10th Liberal to breach conflict of interest laws. Another Liberal MP has been caught breaking the rules and fined for violating the Conflict of Interest Act, bringing the total number of Trudeau government current and former members found in breach of the Act to a staggering ten, according to a report by Blacklock’s Reporter. Liberal MP Randeep Sarai was fined $200 for failing to disclose “all relevant information” to the Ethics Commissioner within the 60 days of his appointment as Secretary of State for International Development. A $200 dollar fine. No wonder Liberals don't take ethics laws seriously. The Liberals have rejected the Conservative proposal to increase the maximum fine to $20 thousand. https://www.junonews.com/p/surrey-mp-becomes-the-10th-liberal

After about a year of Mark Carney's leadership, are Canadians any better off than they were under Trudeau?

Canada's food price report 2026 Canada’s Food Price Report 2026 predicts Canadian families will spend up to $994 more on food next year. One-quarter of Canadian households are considered food insecure. Halifax, Nova Scotia — Canada’s Food Price Report (CFPR) 2026 forecasts that overall food prices will increase by 4% to 6%. The average family of four is expected to spend $17,571.79 on food in 2026, an increase of up to $994.63 from last year. Food prices are 27% higher than they were five years ago. Annual food price increases are currently within the range predicted in the 2025 report (4%), however meat increased at a faster rate than predicted (5% to 7%). Alberta, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario, and Quebec are forecasted to experience food price increases above the national average next year. https://www.dal.ca/sites/agri-food/research/canada-s-food-price-report-2026.html Not looking good.

The 'current regime' in Iran is alone responsible for it's brutality since 1979. Nobody was forcing them to ravage their own people or to sponsor terrorism all over the world.

With the recent upheaval in Iran, Canadians can expect more IRGC members to freely enter our country. They have long known that Canada is a safe haven even for members of that brutal regime. https://torontosun.com/opinion/editorials/canada-fails-deport-iranian-agents Mojdeh Shahriari, a Vancouver-based refugee lawyer and co-founder of StopIRGC, told the Globe she believes there are almost 600 senior regime officials living in Canada. A 2023, investigation by Global News estimated the number at more than 700 – who are not under investigation.

I have to say, right now you stand out more than anyone else with your constant use of the P-word, and obviously not in a good way. I tried.

Why do you think it's even remotely appropriate to use language like this in a public forum? Cheeky digs at one another are one thing, but this insult, which you have used countless times in here against one particular individual, is way over the line. It's perfectly fine to disagree with someone but there's no need to repeatedly get nasty like that. I think an apology from you would be a big step in restoring some level of civility in here.

But I thought you hated whistleblowers?....oh right...you just hated the whistleblowers who warned about the Somali fraud machine in Minnesota.

How come she doesn't have the requisite blue hair or excessive facial piercings?🤔

If you find that amusing then you'll probably get a laugh out of Canada's shortages in the pharmaceutical sector like painkillers and general drug shortages. About 75% of our pharmaceutical imports come from the US. Sounds like the US is in a great position to raise their prices 'like 50%'. That would only be fair, right? You didn't give this much thought, did you?

Nothing specific comes to mind for you to back up your claim?

Just goes to show that non-stop anti-Trump media coverage by certain news sources is extremely effective with their viewers/readers.

It may not be a big concern from them as they apparently do have the raw materials for it although they still import some from outside the US. If there is any country in the world that can rapidly expand it's capacity to produce aluminum, or most other things, it's the US. The Trump administration is much less likely to get bogged down by red tape than the previous one. On the other hand, progress in Canada will be greatly impeded by years of environmental studies and red tape. Does Carney care? Not really since he chose to invest only a tiny portion of his own money into Canada. GPT-4o mini Raw Materials for Aluminum Production in the U.S. Yes, the United States possesses the essential raw materials needed for aluminum production. Here’s a breakdown of the key materials and their availability: Raw Material Source/Availability Bauxite The primary ore for aluminum, found in limited quantities in the U.S., mainly in Arkansas, but heavily imported from countries like Australia and Guinea. Alumina Derived from bauxite; the U.S. has some refining capacity, but the majority is processed overseas. Energy Sources Energy-intensive processes; the U.S. has access to various energy forms (natural gas, coal, renewable energy) for aluminum production. Hydro power is ideal, particularly in regions like the Pacific Northwest. Recycled Aluminum The U.S. has a robust recycling industry, accounting for a significant portion of aluminum usage, reducing reliance on raw bauxite.

You missed the point of the clip which is raising the question, are the Carney Liberals sending all those billions to Ukraine in order to protect Brookfield's investments(Carney's investments) in that country?

It's a pity that mainstream media doesn't do much investigative reporting when it comes to Carney and the Liberals.
