Imo Canada should sit back and relax, u.n. sends the u.s. back in to clean up their own mess. So the Americans are damned if they do and damned if they don't. That's why we do what is in America's interest(s)...not yours. Most of Canada is kicking back, and watching American media like they always do. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

There are practical and political reasons for organized party organizations that group similar ideologies and popular support, at the local, state, and federal level. The majority of voters do not even participate in primary elections, and voter turnout for the 2016 general election was about 56%, consistent with historical norms. Canada has its own set of problems and issues that fall along other fault lines far beyond party loyalty (e.g. language, region, resources, etc.). Whatever, we have regionalism that we try to offset through transfer payments and national standards. Resource development is always problematic in eco-radical BC and oppose-anything-federal Quebec. Sure, though we don’t have the same class, political, and race polarization as in the US. Doesn’t really apply to the discussion. Who cares about Trump anyway (or JT for that matter)? I’m saying that democracy isn’t very direct when faced with the compromises required by party membership and voting for a party, not to mention having to do damage control for an unhinged political leader. We could all still have representatives in legislatures, a Speaker, a public vote for a government leader, and the essential institutional roles, but parties are largely obsolete in this data-driven computer Information Age when information is publicity disseminated widely almost immediately and votes can be organized electronically on short notice. No need for ballot boxes and chads anymore. No need for union-mafia-corporation-style political parties. The revolution of the technocrats is here. Edited October 12, 2019 by Zeitgeist Quote

False...Gulf War #2 was about violations of surrender instruments and the expulsion of UN weapons inspectors. They gave #43 all the reasons he needed to invade Iraq after 9/11.

As we've discussed many times before, ISIS found the bunkers where the VX & Sarin munitions were stored...in 'degraded form'. Meaning that the precursors had been mixed and left to sit. Degraded VX isn't benign. It's still one of the deadliest chemicals ever created. 1 Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
Cannucklehead Posted October 12, 2019 Report Posted October 12, 2019 Trump has stated in his tweet that they did not have any. And your taking ISIS's word over his? Rofl get a clue. Quote
