  1. Another related aspect. We recently visited Taiwan. The people are grounded and polite. They seem to have a connection with their past, and a cultural depth. The Mao era, didn’t tear apart their culture. Leaving them in a state of shock, for dictatorship, to demean them. After, my wife went to her home town of Beijing, for a month. She was appalled, at her old friends. They had no souls. The conversation was always around, food, possessions, and money. She did exclaim, that the Taiwanese were much nicer, than the Chinese. A high trust society. Taiwan is the hope, for China’s future. As an example.

  2. So if they are cutting off Venezuelan heavy. They are then, more reliant on Canadian heavy. While threatening Canadian sovereignty? Can these guys, complete more than one thought at a time?
    79
  3. Next, we will be hearing about Moses. From the top of the mountain.
    16
  4. Anything that gets us to freedom for Tibet, and East Turkestan. Is morally correct, but unlikely anytime soon.
    16
  5. Go talk to the CCP. Tell them to play nice.
    14
  6. You missed one. Their best “friend”, is always ready for more land and resources. Chinas latest new map, includes more territory of surrounding counties. Including a bit of Russia. You know, putting a toe on the water.

  7.  @aconlin The irony, we had to lower our food standards to the Americans, letting in their dairy products etc.
    9
  8.  @rosstocher  Fish raised in pollution, or stolen from other countries, packaged as Chinese. Sells for way cheaper, than local fish, in Canada. It’s time to recognize Taiwan, and stand up for a lot of things, that are wrong.
    7
  9. Now that’s interesting. That should have been easy.
    7
  10. Let’s hope, he doesn’t top Mao, in “effectiveness”.
    6
  11. Like with Covid, it’ll hurt me, but it’ll hurt you more. Remember, it also shut down the Hong Kong protests, pretty quickly.
    6
  12. Why are you guys so critical. We don’t know Aleks’s story. Before telling someone to go be canon fodder. What are you doing to de-escalate this stupid war. Or prevent another, in free Taiwan.
    5
  13.  @TheDaeroner If china copied Taiwan. If it became democratic peaceful and prosperous, I’m all for it. There would be no need, to counter their aggression.
    5
  14. He didn’t say globally.
    5
  15. The whole time, I was waiting to hear. If Argentina can shift politically. Into what that will look like. Not about, what we already know.
    5
  16.  @JimNZ  Yes, that’s what i wanted to hear. With the election of Milei. How much power does he have, how much opposition? Is he just a different kind of crazy? His policy sounds good. But pulling off big change, wont be easy. There will be pushback, when cuts happen. Interesting times.
    5
  17. The good old days.
    5
  18. Pipelines please. The gulf refiners, need the landlocked heavy oil, in Alberta.
    4
  19. Sounds just like, Canada.
    4
  20. But then when he says something you don’t like? That’s good too? (I do agree about China) The more we can slow their colonialism, the better.
    4
  21. Yes,,,but. Define renewable? Most of the components are made in China. Where the rare earth processing is extremely polluting. For power they are still building the worst of all. More coal fired plants at home, and in belt n road countries. All of our manufactured goods, require energy and resources. It’s only in degrees, nothing we do is “green”.
    4
  22. But it will be the biggest and best ever, screwup.
    4
  23.  @plebius  Guess that's also why, Taiwan cables have been cut. It also works as intimidation.
    4
  24. Such irony, that a billion isn’t enough. When from a long term environmental perspective, millions is too many.
    4
  25.  @SigFigNewton  They are also leading the world, in new coal plants. That's the part, that the Chinese state media doesn't promote. They also do it everywhere they go, in other countries. While showing good face. It's called the cheapest fastest way, to market dominance.
    4
  26. The four olds. It was policy.
    3
  27. But Christie has a brain, and a conscience. That should still count for something? No?
    3
  28.  @kth6736  The point about Chile, was. If they process it themselves, they benefit from it's increased value. Much better than someone grabbing your resources, and leaving you with an environmental disaster, as payment.
    3
  29. If China wanted to, they could have environmental laws too. But putting any competition out of business, is more important. When you want to control an industry, and through it, others. If they cared, they wouldn’t be building so many coal power plants, either.
    3
  30. Wow, so scammy.
    3
  31. Taiwan, study the Finns. (Except for the snow bit).
    3
  32.  @Milzan30 Why we need immigrant workers, they have always been hungry enough to do the work.
    3
  33. Ok, but do we ever get to freedom for East Turkestan, and Tibet?
    3
  34. The Chinese are not only building more coal plants at home, but around the world. Why isn’t it a huge story?? Like all the other crap they are doing.
    3
  35. You should worry. We need teamwork, to counter Chinese expansionism. If not, they can just pick us off, one by one.
    2
  36. The world needs a strong USA. Look at how china eliminates the religious and ethnic peoples in its occupied territories.
    2
  37. If you can only cover the interest payment. You’ve been using credit, to pay for consumables. (Like cars, or bad investments). Eventually you have to face the music. We have been running ever larger deficits for 70 years.
    2
  38. I think recognition from other places, is more important. So it's not just a USA vs China, thing. We need to work together. If we don't want our kids, in labour/education camps.
    2
  39. Even though he gets called sleepy Joe. This is the first administration in a long time. To actually do, foreign diplomacy. It’s about time.
    2
  40. Let’s count all the votes, and see who won?
    2
  41. This makes opposing Russia and China real. Look at what the Chinese do to the people in their occupied territories. Yet we are buying their EV’s, solar panels, and other junk.
    2
  42. Didn’t they sign a free trade with Taiwan?
    2
  43.  @worndown8280  Do you think the PLA worries about its men or the environment? They have always used, “a wall of meat”.
    2
  44. Your Peter, won’t like it.
    2
  45.  @kuyre2239 Never. But we into west, thought they were. As my Chinese wife says, Chinese always take advantage.
    2
  46. Make legal entry an option.
    2
  47. Good news, for Ukraine. Fantastic news, for Taiwan.
    2
  48. You could also say, that China never misses a chance to embarrass itself. 💩🍯
    2
  49.  @TheDaeroner  He does sound interesting, I'll head over to my favourite used book store. I am emotionally reactive. To China's pervasive surveillance, propaganda machine, and military buildout. In context, to their expansionism, how they treat the people in their occupied territories, lack of environmental concern, and that I have kids. We do need a better way, to make the world safer. Taiwan is awesome, it's a shining light, surrounded by darkness.
    2
  50. Amount of Defense spending, is like GDP. It doesn’t prioritize value, or quality. In the USA, bang for buck, needs to be fixed. We beat Germany on production of units. China is doing that now.
    2
  51. Don’t worry, China is happy to fill the gap. Ohh!! 🦨💩🍯
    2
  52. He made a deal with us last time he was dear leader. He tore everything up, and fucked us over. (Best deal ever, in history, bla bla bla). Now again? I don’t think so. Canada. 🇨🇦
    2
  53. What’s wrong with all those old fashioned Christian things? Like love your neighbour, and help the poor. Woke things.
    2
  54. The occupied territories people's, are experiencing organ loss disease.
    2
  55. Imagine the jubilation of the Cuban people. If they were a free democratic nation like Taiwan.
    2
  56. Thank you Peter, for your broad view. I look forward to your, shorter term predictions.
    2
  57. Who is going to protect Russia from China?
    2
  58. Anything that gets freedom, for Tibet and East Turkestan.
    2
  59. Now that Russia has exhausted itself. There’s a bigger problem. I may become the new colony, of China.
    2
  60. Then the Russian's will have nothing, to keep their friend's the Chinese, out of their pantry.
    2
  61. If cutting off revenue, cripples the war machine. We need to stop buying Chinese products.
    2
  62. A bad news story. Turned into a good news story.  Having been to China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, myself. Taiwan is worth saving for being a shining example. Of being an amazing, socially successful, prosperous, democratic, country. Constantly under threat, by a large all controlling dictatorship. If we don't support Taiwan sufficiently, it's on us, we are next. The people are amazingly nice, and grounded. They didn't experience Mao, ripping the culture apart. Then setting the stage, for a government that stands on the people's necks.
    2
  63.  @taobo33  Of course not literally. But it was my Chinese wife's observation. Going back to visit her mom, and old friends, after us together, being in Taiwan.
    1
  64.  @taobo33  Why it's important, is the CCP want's to control the world. Look at their occupied territories now, like Tibet and Xinjiang, with forced assimilation.  This is not a criticism of the Chinese people, they are victims too.
    1
  65. Mmm live organ donation, occupied Tibet and Xinjiang. Free prosperous happy Taiwan. Mao bad, killed too many people, etc etc. Xi honeypot, 🦨💩🍯
    1
  66. The big joke on Russia, is. No one wants to invade them. But their friend, China. Ask Tibet, if baren land saved them.
    1
  67. That argument has a fly in it. The fentanyl shipments, are state sanctioned. So chances are, it’s party members getting wealthy off it, like everything else.
    1
  68. Can the affected countries, push China out of the lower South China Sea? Doesn’t Russia, have what China needs? Except for young people.
    1
  69. Now think about the Uighur’s Tibetans Inner Mongolians Falun Gong Taiwan. While we finance it.
    1
  70. Water? China occupies Tibet, and future water flows. Is that a major factor, for India?
    1
  71. We need to do something. X is wide open to Chinese and Russia propaganda. Freedom of speech yes, but anything goes, gets taken advantage of. By those who would remove the right completely.
    1
  72.  @felipelotfineri2300  Go to China, and constructively criticize the government. See what happens. We do need to be vigilant, to maintain all of our freedoms, in the west.
    1
  73.  @bloodgout  Same thing, on a large scale. If your tax base, (income), can not and will not service your debt, and obligations. You are not a good risk, for my money. So I will no longer lend to you. Unless the interest rate compensates for the risk, of default, or currency debasement. (servicing the debt means, principal and interest).
    1
  74.  @foleylione  The best way, was to invest in productive capacity. Let dead companies fail. To not have corporate lobby groups, steer the budgets, into their pockets. Not subsidizing Chinese shipping rates, respecting human rights over there. It is never too late, to start to turn things around. But as you know, the longer you leave it, the harder it is. Every time the economy is headed for a cleansing, it is diverted with helicopter money, and lower interest rates. Till it no longer works. Making the eventual meltdown bigger.
    1
  75. Aren’t we likely heading into a stock market collapse-depression? Which throws out the incumbent, regardless of guilt. The system really needs fresh candidates. Why not study how all the other countries organize their systems, and fix it.
    1
  76. Imagine, you’re a big corporation. Working in countries with a lot of dictators. Your competition is China!!! Good luck, with playing nice and fair to the people.
    1
  77.  @JamesR1986 0 emissions? That would be walking. (Not really, you still have food and clothing) If you want 0, think about how we make those things.
    1
  78.  @Jacmac1  The Democrats had more registered voters this time, but less votes? It must have been fair this time, because Trump won.
    1
  79. No mention of the economy? As it’s teetering on the edge, of the inevitable cliff. Good or bad, the incumbent gets tossed out, in a depression.
    1
  80. There are personal responsibilities, associated with free speech, owning a car, a gun, etc.
    1
  81.  @KalFulsom  What good government is all about. Protecting freedoms, with mechanisms in place, to hold governments and courts accountable.
    1
  82. PZ, didn’t you say earlier. That S Korea monitors the air coming from China. That it still has a lot of CFC’s in it?
    1
  83. This shit is so awful. Protect Taiwan.
    1
  84. Of course Mao 2.0, is horrible for the people. I’m worried they will bring a lot of others with them, when they go down. Xi promised to build 3000 nukes, and is paranoid.
    1
  85. There is hope, for the Solomon Islands?
    1
  86. Coal is definitely not dead. Ask China. They have lots of it, and it’s cheap. Every time we buy something from there. We pollute, we build their military, we endorse human rights atrocities. Win win win.
    1
  87. Wasn’t this also about, revealing the infiltration of the CCP?
    1
  88.  @godschild6694  I thought HK was trapped. The Brit’s were forced to turn it over. HK gets its water and electricity from the mainland. It can be easily cut off.
    1
  89. Like with ever increasing coal burning. If it makes money, the CCP doesn’t care about the real costs. They fix it by controlling the narrative.. 🦨💩🍯
    1
  90. Why did China, invade Tibet? Water?
    1
  91. China has cut the cables, off Lithuania and Taiwan. Just to be A-holes.
    1
  92. And there’s no pipeline for the Canadian stuff
    1
  93. Elon is like ChatGPT, flooded with Chinese propaganda.
    1
  94. How about a pipe going to Canada?
    1
  95. Canada has lots of heavy. Right next door. It needs a pipeline.
    1
  96. Is Egyptian, the oldest existing civilization? How is the continuity measured?
    1
  97. No mention of the commercial real estate bomb, with a lit fuse?
    1
  98. It is hard to see Trump clearly. People see him as the messiah, or the Antichrist.
    1
  99. The tanker that Iran seized, has oil that was going to China. Does Iran know what it’s doing?
    1
  100.  @u2beuser714  In their own countries, they should be the majorities.
    1
  101. Remember record public turnout? Hong Kong protests, till the W-flu conveniently appeared.
    1
  102. Anything that prevents more Chinese attention. 🍯
    1
  103. If you want a reliable reaction. Just say that, Taiwan is an awesome country.
    1
  104. Wow, the Chinese learned it all from the soviets.
    1
  105. Just don’t leave a power and influence vacuum. That China can push its way into. Taiwan, and south east Asia, is very important.
    1
  106. Do all these, require satellites? Problem. China is weaponizing space.
    1
  107.  @worndown8280  Heck, I thought it was, change the numbers till it works for you. Like, China is saving the planet, one coal plant at a time. (a little over two a week at home), and many more in other countries. It doesn't matter how quiet their subs are. When they eat or talk, it'll be like a hammer mill.
    1
  108. No mention of Chinese colonialism? Doesn’t Russia have everything they need?
    1
  109. On a site like that. I hope they are.
    1
  110. I don’t think he is a Trump supporter.
    1
  111. Yes, but in a different way.
    1
  112. Will Tibet and East Turkestan, ever be free again?
    1
  113. Not as a deflection. But, India? How’s their military, corruption wise?
    1
  114. 500 mile cost limit? We sell power, from northern BC, to California, during peak load times. 22098 canyon dr, to LA, 1930 miles, (by road). So, 1800 miles?
    1
  115. Stand-off? How’s that?? China is occupying territory. No one stopped them. It’s a serious problem, of expansion, but not a standoff.
    1
  116.  @Aj.dadnerd  Another atoll, that hasn't been seized by China? Or the one that has an old WW2 ship on it, with a couple of Philippine sailors staying there. The Chinese, like to block the supply ship. Just to maintain their a-hole status.
    1
  117. How incredibly stupid, humans can be. Save Taiwan.
    1
  118.  @lenguindon5019  His dime? That's a boat load of money. If he gets the momentum going, that's great. Hopefully ND is a fast mover, we need it yesterday. Bringing in heavy crude from Venezuela, is stupid.
    1
  119. Re listen to what he said. It’s not worth following X every day. But he is still open to checking occasionally, to see if it’s still a mess or not. (Keeping an open mind)
    1
  120. Sounds like BC. A half hour walk in the mountains, north of Vancouver. No cell service, and no roads for a hundred Km. A jumble of peaks and valleys.
    1
  121. China is rubbing its claws. All that Russian territory, and resources. We may have to switch, to protecting Russia, from its best “friend”.
    1
  122. The best thing to do. Is show unified support for Taiwan. China will back down, in the face of resolve. The infiltration, of all our institutions, is another matter.
    1
  123. Look up the guangxi massacre. If you have any doubts, about the party. And buying Chinese products.
    1
  124. Why they burn so much frickin coal. Poisoning all of us.
    1
  125. It’s been China, since Xi got in. Maybe all along.
    1
  126. So again, Biden is the quiet deal maker.
    1
  127. Sounds a lot like China. 🍯🍯🍯
    1
  128. Don’t worry, you pollution fans. China is still ramping up its coal burning.
    1
  129. Meanwhile, China has influenced our institutions, algorithms, and media. To feed discord, and misinformation. Ask chat GTP about cultural and physical genocide, occupied territories in China, massive coal power increases, organ harvesting, etc.
    1
  130. Hey I know! How about a pipeline from Canada!!
    1
  131. Petition your local congressman. This is insane.
    1
  132. Can we get to. Don’t need more “stuff”? The top two pro environmental choices are, less stuff, and not made in coal burning china.
    1
  133. Reverso. Argentina will prosper. While the USA gets, oligarchs and brown shirts.
    1
  134. We need a strong Germany. To deter, aggressive Chinese leaders. Xi will back down, when faced with unity and force.
    1
  135. Good thing, the main cable repair company is Chinese.
    1
  136. China loves to work with dictators and doesn’t ask permission. 🍯
    1
  137.  @Blackjack701AD  I thought, Trump gave the elites, tax benefits. To try to be popular, with the in crowd. He is always the kid, that nobody likes. “Look at me, I’m the best, I have my daddy’s money”
    1
  138. I thought, drain the swamp, was just, bait and switch. His ego, wants to burn down, the whole world.
    1
  139. To sum up the CCP. 70 years of humility.
    1
  140. For the people.
    1
  141. So tragic, and unnecessary. Protect, and recognize, Taiwan.
    1
  142.  @karntang  We don't do that any more, it's not cool.
    1
  143.  @ulyssis  Building villages and military posts, on and across the land borders. In the South China Sea. The rest of Asia, Africa, South America. No where in particular.
    1
  144.  @neolithictransitrevolution427  You may be right. My reason for speaking out. Is that while the CCP promotes China as being green. They are polluting more than all the western countries combined. While also building Coal plants, in their subjugated belt and road affiliates. Same with human rights abuses, being covered up. The narrative control, has to be countered. It's not always, them good, us bad.
    1
  145.  @l.b.7543 Don’t know about his view of Clinton. But he found Obama ineffective.
    1
  146. Government institutions like healthcare, run by corporations. Is bankrupting the country. But stability, is more important. Can this be squared.
    1
  147. Some will say, it’s all Biden’s fault. Being president, in a destabilizing time.
    1
  148. A defanged Russia, will be vulnerable to China. We will have to protect them.
    1
  149. Russia, the next Tibet, East Turkmenistan, Inner Mongolia, south China sea, Solomon Islands, etc. While they are blowing themselves up, about NATO. China loves territory, resources, and a power vacuum.
    1
  150. The Chinese are very brainwashed. As frustrated as they will get. They still feel entitled to their occupied territories, and all of their neighbours territories. When the people start to focus on their oligarchs. The CCP will switch to kinetic war. To consolidate the people’s attention elsewhere.
    1
  151.  @tonywilson4713  I agree with your assessment. One major point that’s missing, is. China is at war with most of the world. Their influence is in our institutions, algorithms, and media. They sow discord, and misinformation.
    1
  152.  @TheDaeroner  With a disclaimer, CCP not CPC. Using CPC white washes previous sins, of the party. China and Taiwan, are both very different. They are separate countries, and peoples. For China to be free, they have to let Xinjiang and Tibet be free. Let the people decide, to create their own political parties.
    1
  153. 1812
    1
  154. No, he didn’t say that. What he did say is, Trump wants to break up important security institutions, and cuts off allies.
    1
  155. Are any, possibly unfairly imprisoned, from other ally countries, getting out? Any westerner in Iran is a target, with those guys in charge.
    1
  156. Thats like banning one boat, from the Chinese fishing fleet. Big damage, no recourse.
    1
  157. Those countries are not like China. They don’t have the same victim narrative. That “justifies” Chinas colonialism, and unrestricted war with the west.
    1
  158. I can’t see how this much disruption, doesn’t take the wheels off the bus. A small disturbance, like a few banks defaulting, is enough to do it. He is tearing up as much as he can, with the whole world.
    1
  159. Anything that cuts Chinese brown coal burning. Like not buying their stuff. Gives a little breathing room.
    1
  160. Can the Tibetan’s and Uighur’s, hold out that long?
    1
  161. With all the white people’s shootings. This shouldn’t even make the news.
    1
  162. Don’t forget, the social and environmental costs, of building panels in China.
    1
  163. Meanwhile, China is building out its military, very aggressively. If we can’t get our act together, real fast, we’re done.
    1
  164. They don’t work better, for being a little emperor, and stealing the wealth of the people.
    1
  165. Tied into the greatest threat. Is Chinas desire, to break up all democracies. It’s not just about, killing all of us, with their pollution.
    1
  166.  @charleswomack2166 We don’t want China helping. They don’t want china invading. A win win, perhaps?
    1
  167. Always remember, if the overall intent is to reduce harm, to us and the world. None of these metals, should be processed in China.
    1
  168. But ChatGPT self censors any critical content about China. It’s not a good source.
    1
  169. Hasn’t New Zealand become a vassal state of the communist party! Nullifying any freedom benefits.
    1
  170. Canada, we have lots of oil and gas too.
    1
  171. There was a gold discovery on Canada’s north coast. That the Chinese wanted to buy. To get an excuse, for arctic waters access. They have been buying or commandeering, resources and strategic locations.
    1
  172. Ok, it is an operating mine. The deal didn’t go through, on security concerns. But in 2013 China did buy Nexen, a large oil sands producer. With assets in Nigeria Guyana and the Gulf of Mexico. It sold, because the USA didn’t allow a pipeline.
    1
  173. And the masses of Chinese bots. So annoying. Taiwan is a wonderful country, and needs to be saved.
    1
  174. If they can get past local, and Chinese promoted, corruption. This is a plan for Africa too.
    1
  175. So how are their bankers and suppliers, the CCP, going to play this?
    1
  176. It doesn’t fix the Chinese aggression. But it’s certainly entertaining.
    1
  177. Meanwhile, the political isolation, and paranoia in the CCP, is even more dangerous. They have promised to build 3000 more nukes. https://youtu.be/eEoLJruphFQ
    1
  178.  @gagamba9198 We may get a cheap retirement place there yet!!
    1
  179. Also thanks to Elon. The Chinese bots, and shills, have free run.
    1
  180. Smarten up people. Don’t let China fool us too. They are more sophisticated with their propaganda, and disruption of our democracy. Taiwan free forever.
    1
  181. TikTok is only one from China. It’s the whole group. Like Temu and Wechat, as well.
    1
  182.  @doujinflip If Japan isn’t leading, in sex dolls. We know there is a problem.
    1
  183. “Back under the influence”!!! Stop, using the word reunification. That’s part of China’s warfare package. We all say it, we all start to think it’s true. No, Taiwan is not theirs anyway.
    1

  188. Before anyone gets on their moral hobbyhorse, for the Palestinians. Two things. Their leaders don’t want to coexist with Israel. We conveniently ignore, Tibet, Xinjiang, Syria, Myanmar, Solomon Islands, etc.

  189.  @maxryan5738 Be pissed off at the ruling class. But why follow a guy, who wants to be accepted by the elites. His version of draining the swamp, was tax cuts for the biggest corporations. The same corporations, that are bleeding the middle classes.

  193. The Tibetan’s found out. What happens if you are peaceful. Living next to communists.

  194. A collapse of Russia is quite dangerous. With China baiting, warring internal factions. A ramped up version, of what they are doing worldwide.

  196. As we go through a world wide debt unwind. It’s going to get ugly. He has one trait that is essential. A willingness to work with allies, rather than alienating them. China is doing everything it can, to f us up.

  197. An interesting twist in Canadian politics. Poilievre our Conservative Party leader, was heading for a landslide in our next election. He is backpedaling hard, now that captain chaos in the states, is in “charge”.

  201. It’s not just subsidies, in China they don’t have to follow labour laws, or pollution regulations. When we support their industry, we support, very bad practices, and their military buildup.

  208. Yes Putin’s mental health, is a problem. China is the real threat. Xi sees an enemy at every border. Because he has pushed them outward. He is paranoid at home, from the purges and atrocities. Now with a failing economy, he is scared of the people. So needs an enemy, a war. Lucky for him, they can and are, aggressively building out their military.

  209. Reminds me of how the CCP uses elite capture. You vote them in once, it’s game over.

  210. Better late, than not at all. If China wants to be the world’s friend again. They have Taiwan, right next door. As an example, of how to be awesome.

  211. Remember, drain the swamp? He isn’t doing anything, to reduce the corporate lobby. Ohhh, it was, bait and switch.
