  1. Just to make sure pp understand, the 1000s they refer to is a whopping crowd of 200,000 people. Even if size can be questioned we can safely say its not 1000s but 10,000s.

  2. His acting skills are very good. He plays president better than in the series.

  3. So Ukraine bombs the power plant but then cries wolf. Come on. The world will hold Ukraine accountable if there is major disaster. 1. Ukraine claims Russia has lots of military equipment near the plant 2. Ukraine claims Russia shelled their own heavy hardware ;)))))

  4. Well the ad is maybe a bit childish. But so is our current PM. The ad accurately portrays our current PM. Should the ad be more mature? Maybe. But we live in "funny" times when JT can actually be elected as PM. So maybe just go down to IQ of 80 and be happy. Everyone knows election is a grab for power to be held on September 20th when Covid is expected to have almost 10x as much cases as today. Canadians need to unite and show this selfish man he does not belong in the seat of Canadian PM.

  5. Ukraine already lost the war - they cannot meet their goals. Instead of escalating the war by sending tanks to Ukraine, which would only prolong the war, a much better approach is to end the war through dialogue - less people killed. NATO idea to fight to the last Ukrainian may be good for NATO / US but certainly is not good for anyone in Europe - which Germany clearly sees. After first 100 tanks are sent, what is the grand plan? Send another 100, than another 100? We end once there are no drivers?

  6. They need to stay there for a long time - weeks, maybe over a month & make sure they are very visible and vocal. Anything less and they as well may not have started in the first place.

  7. Ukraine is free to do so as well, who is preventing them? Why Ukraine did not allow people of Donbass to be free and pursue their dreams? Do Kiev regime rights trump other rights?
    29
  8. Targets were: - weapon storage warehouse for US made coastal defense. - ships(s) used to transport weapons from Romania - two Su-27 fighter jets - airport strike I do not see anything that can be used by Ukraine to say its "unfair" all targets were military and most (all?) were taken care off.
    23
  9. US is very close to the #'s that imply everyone whom wanted it got it. Meanwhile in Canada we still did not even deliver 1st does to all people that wanted it - and 2nd does is many months in the future.

  10. At the current pace of advance Russia helping DPR in their liberation of Donbass should reach their goal in about three weeks. There has been a lot of talking about security zone around Donbass. I am sure Russia will not mind grabbing a lot of Ukraine proper to create such zone. There is also the question of Odessa.

  11.  @Unknownplayer0012  Exactly - all they had to do after 2014 was to just go with Minsk agreement they signed. This would mean no NATO and getting Donbass back. But by 2014 Nationalist Forces started to play more and more important role. Few pp know that Zielinski was a dictator whom had like 23% support in his country and arrested opposition. With zero support he turned to Azov and friends. By 2022 Azov and friends was one of the most powerful of forces in Ukraine - there was zero chance of any "Minsk". I think Putin should have went for it years earlier - I think hoping that Z would do something different was a pipe dream.

  12. We all have to note that most people that party whole night till at least 4AM while at the same time are on call and paid would be eventually fired.
    17
  13. Patrick Lancaster has been reporting from the area for over a week now. He is showing war as it is. There is also another guy there as well in Mariupol with him.
    17
  14. Lukaszenko's plan is to simply deploy 10s of thousands of migrants and overwhelm Polish services. Migrants are a perfect weapon - they are self founding and even get him $$$. Weapon that pays the user! Meanwhile it cost Poland a lot of $$$. When it gets cold things will be even worse - image pictures of frozen kids. Timing was well done.
    16
  15. Lets make fair deal then Mr. Blinken. Russia can have nukes in Cuba and Venezuela and you can have some in Ukraine. Heck, its even a US sided deal - as US nukes threated Moscow while Russian ones only Miami.
    14
  16. We need to ban or at least break up Facebook and other major IT companies. This monopoly is not good for our society.
    13
  17. How could they discovered the graves if they have crosses on them and all have numbers? Many have names as well? In one example a victim of a bombing was first buried in a backyard, then buried in that cemetery and now its again moved (!) You can see all crosses in the video.
    13
  18. Well soldier said 5 to 10 days - so looks like ceasefire is almost here - I think he meant that AZ is running out of flat land to take over. Remember he was explicitly authorized to say this.
    13
  19. Nobody can have guns but you need a tank to drive in some areas. Gun laws at work.
    12
  20. Actually I would stop most aid - it is almost certainly deliberate provocation from Ukraine - i.e. they fired S-300 at Poland on purpose with a claim it was an accident.
    12
  21.  @JS-ip8xm  Thinking of the days of glory for Nazis?
    10
  22. Sarcasm?

  23. In other news the leaders of Indigenous people claim the apology is hollow. Apparently more action is needed. Especially in check writing department.

  24. There must be more to the story - both Canadian and British politicians have partied during COVID and broken the rules but at no time anyone questioned "drug use". There clearly must be evidence to even ask such question. Also we had picture/ video evidence of such partying from both Canadians and British sources. Also she did not flatly deny drug use....
    9
  25. B/c you would find the voice of the other side, which may conflict with state sponsored narrative.
    9
  26. It should be pointed out that Ukrainian military places their artillery in school parking lots. As per drone images. Then they complain school got hit. It was now a military target. Same way as in Palestine locals place their rockets near schools or places of warship and then complain Israel fires at these locations. Solution to this conflict is through diplomacy. Unfortunately Ukraine refused to implement Minsk agreements it has signed and Russia decided to do diplomacy through use of tanks. The only way to stop tanks is at the table.

  27. No. Not with our taxpayer money.

  28. Well said. Canadians need to wake up and remove liberals!

  29.  @cyril9759  This is clearly temporary place to have people "stored". It was summer you had to put them somewhere. At first pp were put in their own back yards but authorities decided its best to move them somewhere else. Most of the people there were killed during artillery exchanges and bombings. I am disgusted by Ukraine using their own dead people for propaganda purposes. I am unhappy that Russia / DPR forces did not simply store pp in say rail road car and allowed slow "normal" burial. Sure it would require like 6 or more rail cars to be filled with rotting human remains but still feels better then make 460 crosses & dig 460 holes.
    7
  30. Sure, if I were pp of Finland I would fire her for doing private things on government dime. Just like anyone else normal would be fired.
    6
  31. She was on duty but forgot her work phone... I guess if there is emergency in Finland they just need to wake up the President as PM is passed out in the corner somewhere.... Zero responsibility.... and this is not her first time either. Imagine what is really going on if the PM is found to be doing this like 2x a year - she must be partying every other weekend... Maybe even during weekdays...
    6
  32. Well obviously a provocation but with a very good excuse. S-300 are not really a good defense weapon against low flying cruise missiles - usually one would use short - medium air defenses for the task. A cruise missile is essentially a low flying aircraft while S-300 system is optimized for long range interception. Central Lwow is around 70km from target in Poland, missile max range is around 75km - doubtful it was "gliding anywhere" as it was supposedly shot at low flying target. Also the 75km range in thick air down low seems suspect. Also hitting a village is about as likely as shooting a deer, missing and having your round travel 1000m more in the forest and hitting someone picking mushrooms. It does happen but its rather super rare. 99% it was a provocation and Mr. Z ordered the hit.

  33. Our PM does not pay for his heat but we DO! Down with this evil man - people do not want to be cold in the winter!

  34.  @ronbraid4478  The problem with schools is that feds changed the rules and made education a backdoor to Canada. You go to cheap, low level "college" for "cheap low level course" and just like that you got your foot in. Also your wife or husband can get a work permit. Heck, you can bring your kids as well... And all b/c you are going to school studding to be say Medical office manager ;) THAT is the issue.

  35. Mariupol is NOT under siege - only AzovStal plant is where remnants of Azov Nazi are hiding. Other then civilians that are with Azov cannot leave or are in danger. All others are outside of any fighting.
    5
  36.  @toxicninja3247  Then this "real" leader will run away to US. This guy on 2nd day removed age limit for military service as adults did not want to fight for his regime. Then, on 4th day he released criminals. All he does is nice speeches. Instead he would simply follow Minsk agreements signed by Ukraine to avoid all of this war. But he refused. Which leader wants war and death of his people? Even Castro, an absolute dictator, did not want Cuba destroyed by US in Cuban Missile Crisis. Even Castro cared more then Zielinski! Karazi also stayed in Kabul, till Taliban marched in - is he a hero as well?
    5
  37.  @southernstablesauto  This strategy may seem correct until you look at history - it was never good to fight to the last man. Look at say Finland. They caused massive casualties on the Soviets in winter war. They managed some gains in continuation war. But than Soviets came back. Now with much better generals and much better soldiers. They kicked Fins quite hard and caused massive Finnish casualties. Fins stopped them but quickly realized that this stoppage was only b/c Soviets needed tanks for the final death push against Germany (Bagration). Fins quickly turned diplomacy on - they could have "held the line" a bit longer and die in glory - but they knew they had little chance. So they gave up all land Soviets were after in winter war, some other concessions and were free to do as they pleased. I.e. they cut their losses short. Being heroic is nice in movies etc. but not in real life. Look at Polish Warsaw uprising. Did it accomplish anything? Sure, got AK (Polish underground) totally destroyed, got Warsaw - one of the largest capitals before WWII (Had tallest building in Europe at the time) totally destroyed and caused death of 100s of thousands of civilians. All for exactly what? Good movie story? Poles in September 1939 surrendered Warsaw with little fight for exactly opposite reason - war was lost, allies did not help, why defend in capital for weeks or months with no purpose other than for 1000s to die and city get smashed?

  38. This will take years. A lot of buildings still standing are no longer safe & will need to be torn down.
    5
  39. So we are closing a BBQ restaurant with Police and stuff present and yet its OK for others to go to uber infected US & back to Canada? They better be supervised on quarantine when they come back & steep fines if they are found breaking it - better yet they should be in a paid hotel for 2 weeks under security. This can be a start of a 3rd wave. Note that these are older people mostly & far more effected by the virus then the rest of population plus travel == lots of contacts.

  40.  @அவானிஉயர்ந்தது  She is certainly not Jewish - her grandfather run a newspaper in Krakow about why Jews need to be eliminated for few years. Since he was the general redactor this is not disputed. Same as to what he wrote in there. Thus certainly NOT Jewish. Anti-Semitic, yes. Nazi, yes. But not Jewish. Not to say some Jews did not have a hand in Holocaust - but these were super rare instances.
    5
  41. Ukraine will clearly not get NATO membership anytime soon if ever. One of the conditions of ending Russia - Ukraine war is no NATO. So I expect Ukraine will not enter NATO for a while.
    4
  42. Well, Azov is claiming to be continuation of Nazi from WWII - they claim to be their spiritual brothers. They even brought back same racial rules and are praying to dead Nazi Bandera. Not sure how much closer to a Nazi can you get.
    4
  43. Yeah, and they lost the war. So even, right?
    4
  44. This is going to get a lot more interesting when first snow arrives and temps during the day drop below freezing. I wonder what EU will do when they see first pictures of frozen kids. Priority right now is to decrease arrivals to Belarus.
    4
  45. So what is the big deal? Most of the tanks / APCs run away, suffered minimal losses - about same losses as inflicted by a single Russian helicopter on a single sortie - or actually less.
    4
  46.  @Dunkiep8  So you agree that PM of Canada should be allowed to take bribes and should be allowed to ignore laws of Canada? Do you think it is a good representation of Canadian values and of Canadians to show them as people ignorant of their own laws? As for leadership current example is the vaccine failure - our "leader" has shown he is even unable to buy stuff - he has purchased the most vaccine per person on Earth yet he forgot that "delivery by" date part - thus we as Canada are scheduled to get less vaccine then Quebec has capacity to vaccinate themselves.
    4
  47. Time will tell, but don't expect Biden to be better then Trump - after all Biden promised to "buy American campaign" and to cancel pipelines to Canada. The first hits Ontario the second Alberta.
    4
  48. Actually they just read instructions from the government what to do - similar to Canada.
    3
  49. Why Russia - maybe Ukraine could end this war? Why joining NATO is such a life and death ambition for them. Not even Cuba went to war with US as Fidel loved his country too much.
    3
  50. Nice political decision by Erdogan to deflect from his other domestic policies and keep masses happy.
    3
  51. So they got local drunk to give the longest interview ;)
    3
  52. Certainly using the emergencies act is going like 10 steps too far. We are talking about small protest effecting small part of Ottawa, not nation wide issue. I still fail to see why government refused to talk to their own people and also refused to provide clear path towards ending "temporary" mandates. Last time I checked our PM, when other world leaders faced similar issues, did suggest exactly that - so why not in Canada? Is he only the PM of people that like him?
    3
  53. B/c that would not be in the interest of the US. Look at Finland - no issues with no NATO and Soviets / Russia next door after 1944.
    3
  54. Add luck of responsibility...

  55. This is like Vietnam. The South Vietnam was occupied first by the French then US. Viet Cong asked N Vietnam for help so N Vietnam went in. Same here, Donbass and area asked Russia for help, so Russia went in to help these people out. Putin also plans to take some extra land as payment for his trouble. Its a civil war, Russia supports one side, West the other. If you are a democrat you should support free elections, like after WWI, which would determine status of each territory in Ukraine & transfer all these that want to be in Russia, or independent out of it. We resolved similar issue with Quebec in Canada - if Quebec wants to leave - door is open, we will not sent tanks, like Ukraine, to keep them in Canada by force. Same for any other province.
    3
  56.  @hermanwooster8944  Yeah or Alberta. Until someone votes to leave you never know.
    3
  57. Umm, double masks are not recommended. These people are exercising their free right to protest. Multiple countries around the world have dropped the mandates. Alberta is dropping all provincial mandates by end of this month. As a Canadian I respect office of the PM. But the current person occupying it I have zero respect for. He is dangerous to this country.

  58.  @sandman62100  Patriotic duty to obey? Since when? We are in a free country, not Nazi Germany. There is no duty to obey at all. Its our patriotic duty to question, not obey. God, democracy 101. Where did you came from, Saudi Arabia?
    3
  59. Yes, made in the west strategy.
    3
  60. Yep, Goebels would be proud of the west.

  61. Evacuated to Siberia.
    3
  62.  @dallaw9238  They run as light infantry and lost most equipment. Now Lisychiansk is in an encirclement so they either run or they get Mariupol 2.0. You can easily avoid Mariupol if you simply run away - and by run I mean of foot - not with vehicles. Terrain is not that great - once city is surrounded you can pound it into submission and there are no super large, fortified over years factories here. Besides, Russians already are in Lisichiansk attacking it. They also have tank fire control over main road. This is why I said they can run on their own tow feet only. We see in the next three days what UA do - run or stay to die.
    3
  63. Well, he is innocent of some "crimes", guilty of others.
    3
  64. Lets hope now that they refused to surrender Russians will kill every one of them. Its good riddance to Canada to have these guys never come back to our country. Azov is top of the line Nazi unit. All members make Proud Boys from US look like liberals. These guys after Russian kill them will go straight to hell, and deepest level at it. This is one of few positive things Russia is doing in Ukraine.
    3
  65. Both leaders? Wait Biden is a leader, who is the other leader?
    3
  66.  @tishwitch  Wait, our gun rights are being eroded as we speak - so speak for yourself when you say "Zero people are screaming for more guns in Canada"
    3
  67.  @tishwitch  Well, I certainly do not mind more arms in Canada and my comment got far more likes then yours. There is nothing wrong with having more guns. They do not kill people - the users do. I live in a large city, in Canada, with some of the lowest crime rate in Canada as well as some of the highest gun ownership in Canada. We also have the richest (per income) neighborhoods in Canada. None of the richest pp in Canada live in "closed communities" - you can walk up to their front door and ring a bell. Its safe. Yet we all have lots and lots of guns. Meanwhile lots of other places in Canada, where they made lots of anti gun laws have huge problems with gun use. BUT almost none of these guns are former legal weapons. Thus limiting any legal gun ownership has zero effect on gun use. Maybe government and some misguided people will understand that one day.
    3
  68. Well, its simple - it did not attack - it was attacked. Armenia gains nothing - AZ stated they want to get GK back.
    3
  69. Not only that - AZ is with Turkey and Turkey is enemy of Israel (!) So they are selling to their enemies!
    3
  70. They have cheap Chinese generators.
    3
  71. Its a cluster bomb - one was used against civilians most likely by Ukraine over two weeks ago. Once can compare results from there to these to see whatever it is the same exact weapon.
    3
  72.  @rickmoore3730  Why? Her grandfather was a high ranking Nazi. He was the redactor of anti Jewish newspaper in Krakow. It is hard to deny this given its ... in writing. When Soviets were close he was so high ranking Germans evacuated him - by providing a truck (!!!) to Germany proper. After few years he immigrated to Canada.
    3
  73.  @sash4593  What is her crime exactly? Same as two M's. Accusations against her are a pure joke - if it was not US but any other country doing so they would be ignored.
    2
  74. Well, my grandfather fought against fascism in WWII. He fought against Germans and Ukrainians. Today same ideas of fascisms are alive and well in Ukraine. The west pretends to ignore it all. The fascisms is spreading to the Baltics and other areas. Yet all of this is ignored for "greater good" of sticking it to Putin.
    2
  75.  @ilyabibik588  Actually I am checking the situation daily. Since day 1. So I have excellent idea what is going on, whom the players are, who sponsors them, what is the geopolitical situation, what people want etc.
    2
  76.  @ilyabibik588  From a lot of sources, on both sides.
    2
  77. Careful, you may get slapped twice!
    2
  78. I honestly hope JT is a bit more responsible then her - I mean you are on call, at least not be totally drunk and passed out in the corner at 4AM.
    2
  79. With what???
    2
  80.  @christiansock6309  no, I do not see any version change. Russia never denied. Target list was posted as usual. Russia denied hitting other targets.
    2
  81. What does JT have to do with this?
    2
  82. Many are leaving from territories under AM control as they know that thin road may not be a good link and AZ will provoke & attack. Its risky to stay and invest if one day AZ may expel you.
    2
  83. O'Toole may not be the sharpest tool. He may be a dull tool. But at least he is relatively clean one. Remember WHO scandal. Remember mockery of our justice system with two ministers fired as they wanted to defend Canadian laws. Remember 4 months between shots when WHO said 6 weeks max during emergency & manufacturers between 3 and 5. Remember when you go to vote!
    2
  84. Not much - all truckers that blocked the border simply... driven away. Also no emergencies act was needed... just court injunction....
    2
  85. This was the easiest job in the country for money paid. Justin managed to hire wrong person. IMAGINE who he got into cabinet!
    2
  86.  Owen Hammer  No permeant member of security council declared the land belongs to AZ. Only 30 Muslim countries at UN voted for thus it makes UN resolutions a joke.
    2
  87. Next time - when they go from Georgia back out to sea and try this Russia will have one of her old cruisers that were about to be scrapped ready for a ramming mission. I doubt they will fire at the British ship but ramming is totally fine. Just use something old and quite useless for the purpose.
    2
  88.  @shadowguy321  I.e. it was upgraded to meet current standards, such as no arrest based on ethnic or sexual orientation - we just arrest everyone we think is enemy of the state. Canada should still uphold a lot of international stuff but whom is exactly going to enforce that. Charter can be removed via "reasonable in a democratic society" application - whom exactly is deciding reasonable? This is via section 1. In short unlimited power - same as war measures act, just with some "re-branding". Using your Japanese example, they still would get arrested as possible threat to Canada, just this time around there would be no mention of ethnic background. That is it.
    2
  89. You just wait few decades and Germany will be the richest Islamic country in the world. I mean whole ME wants to move there. I guess if Germany and EU does not help Poland one can go "Greek" and let some leak through. Also this resolves issues of Poland not taking in any migrants - now Poland has by far more then its share - food alone costs around 1mln USD per day as of today.

  90. Yet the cub always wins.

  91. This is not about vaccines its about covid mandates. Most people supporting it are vaccinated, like 80%. Most people in that protest are vaccinated.
    2
  92. JT is making it appear as if he is "considering" his options. Its all show and games.
    2
  93. Imagine how big Ukraine losses are! At more then 3x Russian losses it would mean 110,000 to 120000 killed, 360,000 wounded. Where do they find hospital beds in Ukraine to keep all these wounded?
    2
  94. Turkey is showing strength - policy of zero acceptance of any foreign interference. Good for them.
    2
  95. The whole thing is total luck of compassion by the government officials. They could have helped older couple to fill in the phone app. But they chose not to. They could have figure out how to help the girls team and similar pp but they rather made them stay for two weeks and then only acted when media got involved. This is the real problem.
    2
  96. I expect this to drag on as long as the Meng case is being dragged on for. How could our PM be so ... "unwise" as to drag as into this dirt with a simple finger movement of US - we should have at least make it hard for US to do this to us - we look very weak internationally and a "state" that is on paper only - 100% submissive to US.
    2
  97. They are winning so big they want to drag Poland or NATO in at any cost.
    2
  98. Oh and they WILL WIN - its simple, both Russia and Ukraine will win. Russia will take what it wanted and Ukraine will keep what was not wanted. Win - Win
    2
  99. By second half of this year at current rate all of US will be vaccinated. By second half of this year all of Canada should have been vaccinated if our PM did not buy vaccine for delivery in 2022! We should work hard to approve other vaccines that are already set to go in other countries. This Canadian vaccine research should be used for future development.
    2
  100. UK build multiple new factories now under operation. Justin rather gave $2000 to his future voting base.
    2
  101. They would not go home, they would just jump across the border to the US.
    2
  102. Remember that every protest has agitators that seem to attract 95% of the coverage. These are the guys that do things that are against the main message and/or things that are plainly outrageous or criminal.
    2
  103. Why? In Afghanistan US had no Americans endemic to Afghanistan. In Russian Donbas most people are Russian - there are very few Ukrainians. Less than 50%.
    2
  104. Neither they nor US is stupid enough to pay - it would mean they would be less competitive. In China you can get subsidies for high price of energy - in Canada you get a tax. This is why Canadian GDP is falling vs. rest of the world - see latest stats - then see stats from say 2010 or even 2015.
    2
  105. I am sure in a month or so he will get his temporary freedom back. Putin keeps him on a short leash - if he were gone some other force would fill in the vacuum - better to have him clearly visible so no unknown force takes his place. Unknown == risky. This relationship ensures Navalny is quite safe in Russia.
    2
  106. Exactly. This is why Chinese minister confidently invited everyone to come and see for themselves. I was there and thus I can see through huge propaganda campaign.
    2
  107.  @Wanamaker1946  Of course he is allowed to defend US. Soleimani is as much a bum as every distinguished US general. Certainly US has excuse to take out anyone that is US adversary - I am waiting for a missile strike on Kremlin and Zhongnanhai (Chinese). Obviously anyone that does not bow to US is now on a target list. How is it "defending" US given that potentially 100s of Americans will die due to this decision? How is it defending US by destabilizing her allies for which 1000s of Americans gave their lives? How does it all benefit the interests of US nation? Or does it just benefit Trump himself... so you support a selfish president that placed his own interests before interests of the country. You sure you are American?
    2
  108.  @darlene2709  Actually we don't anymore - most elections have huge mail in component. This means even brain dead person can change results - all you need to do is throw out bags of mail. Why do you trust "Guardian" when even grade school logic tells you its uber easy? Did you know in communist countries you also voted with pencils on ballot boxes? My dad always voted for "not recommended" candidates but never even single one of them won ;)
    2
  109.  @johdo9953  Well, how are they putting their kids in harms way, are you suggesting government will use deadly force to attack them? Kids would only be in harms way if there is possibility of violence. Since protesters are repeating 100x they are not going to resort to it, then it must be the other side. But so far we had no evidence of police brutality or anything similar, so its hard to point to any threat. Kids are probably mostly in hotels and many may use remote learning if already in school. If things start to get ugly they can easily get out with their moms - unless government choses to attack kids / moms. So far no indication of such threat is present. Our PM may not be a smart cookie but I think there be plenty of pp that would stop him from some mass murder.

  110. Lets hope not, as it means most large cities in Canada are flat as well.
    2
  111.  @SpruceMoose-iv8un  Ukraine president nor Ukraine has zero to say in this. His opinions are of no relevance.
    2
  112. LOL, no. Mostly ancient junk. Maybe 200+ are in "OK" state. Predicted losses for Russia are at most 200 destroyed tanks.
    2
  113. Yes, but it could be captured weapon by DPR forces and maybe one or two of them lost their kids in similar attack over 2 weeks ago carried out by almost certainly Ukraine. So ... they fired it at Ukraine. Good thing would be to know whom the victims where ethnically.

  114.  @liebherr11602  Well, the military is loyal to the Queen first and foremost. I am sure most officers that may be called up are now hitting the books trying to figure out a way out of this. When dealing with Quebec military was issued rifles but no bullets (or so I was told, by the military). It will put very high strain on any military involved. I am unsure as to legality of any order telling soldiers to open fire on civilians that are unarmed. But I am sure if it came to that it would be the end of Trudeau.

  116. Well, best response would be to continue Donbass operation. At current rate by end of this year Donbass should be Russian. Then one can divert troops to other operations or go run for the river over winter campaign.

  122. LOL what allies? it is 1941 we are talking about. By the time Germans were near Moscow first aid was arriving - not yet even close to implementing it. What did Germans in during 1941 offensive was bad logistics and totally spent troops. Germans simply had no more power left to continue & Russians moved in fresh units from Siberia & counter attacked.

What about disabled people? Also death ratio seems to be the same for this vaccine as for Covid so far - so if millions plus dies b/c of this vaccine who will be responsible?

  129. We know roughly what the propositions are and in a rapidly growing province such as Alberta they are totally unrealistic. Is anyone in Ottawa thinking? Even through Alberta accounts for the most installed new renewable power in Canada (2022) there is no way AB can be totally clean by 2035 - unless it went into heavy debt. Why is Ottawa trying to do this???

  131.  @garydrescher6151  Meng was as legally detained as two Michaels were. Both sets of charges were a joke. There are differences in joke mainly, US charges were extension of US laws to other jurisdictions while Chinese charges were bending and perversion of local laws. Nortel went belly up more then 20 years ago. 20 years ago in tech time is time of dinos. Today Hauwei cannot be accused of such actions as it is clear tech leader and it is the west that is doing IP theft. One can take a look at battery tech in latest Hauwei phones or their OS that is much faster then Android. Or the fact that Google just recently started making replacement for Android as it is outdated. One can accuse everyone of IP theft, it was US that stole from Germans after WWII & from the British before WWI. Japan stole from US after WWII. In 1970s China was barely able to make cigarette lighter. If you want to look at corrupt - look at US companies - they were found red handed with spying.

  137. China should announce that it will have no choice but to boycott US held sporting events over its abuses in ME and in Asia. Millions killed in just last two decades. At least US abuses are well documented while Chinese "abuses" are MSNBC and CNN made up crap - heck their "eye witness narration" are not even from someone whom ever been to the province and maybe even China!

  138. Traditional role of Canada is peace making. However, due to terrible FP of our current government Canada is seen as just an extension of the US. Hence why there never was any chance at UN seat - US already has a seat, no need for two. Same here, even Turkey attempted to play mediating role. But not Canada - we are content with playing no role at all.
    2
  139. This is why US - an empire that is loosing - will do what everyone else did before it, start a war (economic so far) in order to slow down the transition. History shows that US eventually will loose and China will become world leader.
    2
  140. We need more charismatic leader then O'Toole. Liberals are very vulnerable given their terrible handling of pandemic as well as all other scandals by JT. Thus with a bit better leadership it should not be an issue to win the next elections for conservatives. One problem can be timing of such elections - Liberals may time it in such a way as to be the best for them & maybe even hold on to power. Even with some losses one cannot forget that if NDP vote with Liberals as one block there is little chance for conservatives to govern without majority.

  144.  @fuct2003  Rob Ford. He was a mayor of Toronto. Not sure if everyone was OK with it but he was good for comic relief when subway broke down. He was in office only 4 years (he would have won 4 more but was dying of cancer). He was stripped of most of his powers and was more of a figure head. He actually run the first time with everyone knowing guy has addictions & to shock of the opponents he actually gained popularity as more antics came out --- this was middle finger to establishment from pp. At least pp know that a role of a mayor in major city can involve drinking drug addict & he would do quite well - he was too stupid to take bribes!

  145. It was totally not justified. Like zero justified. Emergencies Act is renamed PC version of war measures act to be enacted during war or during war like emergencies that are country wide in scope. This was not even 1% qualified.

  150. Just so pp know, Kiev called state of emergency when Russians, in large numbers, started warming up tanks at the border & established two new republics. Our PM declared same state b/c of few hundred truckers. Let that sink in. Ukraine used the state in correct manner. Justin? He is clueless.

  151. AB is doing about 3x as well as ON - so its not like house is on fire (look at death rate). AB rates have peaked and will stay at this peak for about a week or so and then start going down. This is natural "wave" that we have seen like 100 plus times in all over Europe and here in Canada. We have modeling software that is now quite accurate. Closing more then currently will do little now to that wave other then provide some politicians with claim points as to what they did to help and their "leadership". Key businesses and schools have been closed or will be by previous order in AB - that is at least 90%+ of all possible spread metric.

  154.  @sampohonkala4195  Is she? Or maybe someone else is doing all the work in the shadows? I find it hard to combine her party lifestyle, carelessness and total luck of responsibility with being a good leader.
    2
  155. Soldiers should be allowed to shoot anybody that hits them over the head with steel bars, shovels etc. If it means firefight with Belarus so be it. At that point one could declare state of war and fire on anyone that touches Polish border fence. Poland is 4x bigger then Belarus - there is zero reason to be afraid. Even if Russia gets involved - remember Turkey - they downed Russian jet over Syria for crossing over disputed Turkish territory. Poland should not have reservations over engaging targets over its own undisputed territory. Without total over reacting on this it will only grow bigger.

  156. Why? Ukraine is excellent tool to weaken Russia. Who cares tool gets destroyed - this is what tool is for.

  157.  @clemthompson5336  Oh, they did show their true colors when they fired two ministers for opposing illegal closure of proceedings making fun out of our laws. You really think they are not racist or race would stand in their way? Really? They already divided the country. Big pharma? I guess they stood against it when they also stood against WHO and claimed its OK to have 4 months between shots. They even quoted "Science". Face it. They do not care about you or this country but their rear end. Sure both don't but at least cons are morally cleaner.

  167.  @boozolini4465  Oh and do tell where all other elements started???? Well, where did this "racial superiority" or "eugenics" have a root? Lets see, whomever through they are "better" then others? Could it be imperial countries? And where are they? Oh in the west. Even after WWII we had Dutch executing people in Indonesia in their "colony". Did they bother to say sorry? No. They even refused to pay compensation. Where did Eugenics start? Oh I believe Scandinavia - so progressive, spread all over Europe and reached California. Where it found fertile ground and tens of 1000s of people got sterilized. Did California apologize? Nope. Did they pay compensation? No! In 1930s German Nazi went to California to see their wonderful program of get rid of undesirable people. Quickly implemented in Germany. So yeah, we can go through every western country and see the same crap. Same ideas. What Nazi Germany do is simply go a bit further then everyone else. But the concepts were all over the west. You are ignoring history and are delusional.

  168. There is a "push" in Canada? You mean there is a push in order not to be at the very bottom of the OECD group? Who knew - maybe if we push hard we may get closer to average? Right now Canada is out vaccinated by the US 5:1 - adjusted for population. This is epic failure of Liberal government. We are not the first ones to get the vaccine - we are the last. I will not even mention the total disorganization of international travel where no one knows the rules.

  169. Canada has like less than a 100 modern MBT. Sending these is idiotic to say the least. If Canada wants to send some stuff we have plenty of old APCs - like cougar or similar vehicles.

  170. @Enclave Soldier Yeah but TAPV is very new - its almost brand new. Sure better send these than a tank - but Canada is already sending 200 trucks. There is a limit to spending our $$$ on US proxy war.

  171. @Enclave Soldier Wait, how long did government wait till getting new jets? like ... 40 years? So sure, count on government standardizing on something better. Pigs will fly first if it were to happen soon. Sure TAPV was bough for a different war but be glad you don't have to walk. Or you do not have to be standardized on F-150. Yes, in ideal world LAV would rule. Also in ideal world a lot of other nice things would happen for the army & veterans.

  174. I think one Russian politician explained it well - we don't care about any sanctions, we care only about threat to our security. So using a weapon Russia does not care about against it is a joke. I doubt they invade anytime soon - they simply squeeze Ukraine few times and maybe if that still does not work they crush it.
    1
  175. Ukraine had no way to touch them and it was composed of different units that went into different staging areas and are now slowly moving south to encircle the city. They were probably used as well in the fight for Hostomel airport area that occurred recently. Overall both sides take losses & Russians so far are clearly winning.
    1
  176.  @spaceman9599  first of all, what do you know about their goals. You claim to know what Putin thinks? The stated goals did not mention any cities. 2nd kill ratio is certainly in favor of Russia by wide margin as they are advancing and Ukraine cannot counter attack other then locally. If Russians are advancing and there is 2x less of them then Ukrainians the kill ratio in both man and equipment has to favor them. One has to note that both sides deployed about same number of tanks. If Russian tanks were destroyed en masse how come we don't see ukraine counter attack, advancing and taking land. Use logic.
    1
  177. If Kurds were fighting Russians I am sure there will be a lot of screaming if one of them got hurt. Fighting Turks? Meh, they can all die, who cares. Same as in Yemen, 1000s of children died, but who cares. US killed almost a million in Iraq + Syria - who cares - it was US, so its totally OK - no war crimes there!

  183. Says the president under whom emissions went down just 4% & sprung back under Trump. One has to note he had a low hanging fruit as a goal and he failed at it. So much so for action vs. promises yet he is somehow a hero. Of what I ask? No one really remembers what occurred in 8 years he was in office - he was absentee president.

  184. With JT at the helm and his virtue signaling expect the gap between average Canadian and average American to widen. Few years ago, before we had JT as our leader US was only slightly ahead of Canada in GDP per capita. Now it is around 40%. IMF US is at 68,309 in 2021 vs. 49,222 for Canada nominal. Canada 24th US is 9th. I.e. JT policies are making us poor and thus greener.

  189.  @user-ji8ll1qn6o  LOL, she is not released to the US as the US would be forced to do something - hence the process in Canada is taking many years. As soon as US in wining days of Trump talked about deal immediately there was talk about release of Meng. I.e. as long as she is in Canada US - China can negotiate her release. China taken two Canadians to show Canada and more importantly rest of the world, that such subservience to US interests will not be tolerated. Once Meng is in the US she is certain to spend there a long time same as two M's are in China - US at that time can still cut a deal, but the M's are not worth much to US & of low value. Canada is simply a proxy. I have no idea how taking two M's pressures Canada not to give out Meng - Canada is in US pocket and will hold her as long as requested or release her when requested - two M's are as stated above a warning that this is not without consequences.

  191. It is amazing that Russia is doing this so late in the war. Putin is escalating at snail pace. If it was US at war, UA would be out of power within the very first month. Also using S-300 complex to create "accidents" in Poland may slide due to Polish government docility but when its proven later on I hope current Polish leaders, if proven they knew about it, get prison sentences for treason.

  194. It feels I have over estimated Trumps chances at clear victory in senate trail - clearly November is a bit too far away to start war now, almost year early. Deflection so far works 100% - no one even remembers some senate stuff with Trump presidency online. As far as Iran goes they have to do something. Even weak response - if they fail to do so they may be removed by their own people. Trump more or less put them up to the wall. Remember not long ago Iran downed US drone and Trump did ZERO. Now he did 100x more. What changed?

  204. Putin made it clear after a month of war what he wants. All territories that do not want to be part of Ukraine to not be part of Ukraine. Problem is that after some success on the battlefield and looming total victory I doubt he would easily be persuaded to go for the same deal. Now he wants more land as security / payment for conquest etc. As for Ukraine, it is lead by a comic with heavy Nazi influence so they need to loose all their troops before they can surrender. But at that point they will not have any power in any negotiations.

  208.  @starrose7949  We have to find a middle ground - protest have to be visible, send strong message but they cannot lead to not so wise PM going ballistic. Will I fight? Sure, but we better first have numbers to back us up. Revolutions are like boiling point - they take time and do happen only when people had enough. Sadly this means a LOT of pain. This is my second war act. The first one was when I was 2 years old. It was a bit different, with tanks, APCS, mechanized police force. Not sure this one is any better, given that government wants to starve people out US way. Notice how Russia wants to use tanks and US always starves her enemies? Not sure which way is better, at least tanks come and go and starvation is prolonged. My mother is afraid they block her old age security since she shared picture of our PM as a clown. You never know, maybe soon we have to talk with water running. It was not easy to remove such system & most people will not see it for what it is after its too late. Remember Soviets? Do you think the masses of communists were blood thirsty? No, they were young people wanting change. They were optimistic. They had hopes for better future. By the time it turned into a monster they could not even make a joke - or it was 5 years of hard labor.

  212. 120 kg in 2016 - this is 2 years before Meng. Certainly it is hard to say it is made up case. The sentence could have been made a bit tougher then if relations were good - say death vs. life imprisonment. Accusations from 2016 are quite severe & all countries in Asia have strict no drugs policy. Not sure why sudden love for drug dealers in Canada - what would people want to do with these - make penalties lenient so that China can export 2x as much drugs at half the price?

Also re-establish teaching in minority languages as is standard in EU.

  241.  @zerotankor  No one on Earth did anything similar and their economy did not collapse more then ours. Looks at US - they got a "huge" payout of 1500... one time. Justin paid $2000 to more then 50% of all working people (almost 10m people!) Imagine that our official unemployment numbers never went above 20%... so about that 30%+ who are they? So most of $2000 payments went to people that did not work as per "employment" definition in Canada. Then there is the cool effect of teaching pp not to work - who would work for $15/h when you can stay home and get $2000?

  243.  @zerotankor  Well, last summer I was a bit surprised that most fast food places offered $18 per hour to flip burgers and STILL could not get staffed. So what would that minimum wage be, at least 18? However, at such high minimum wage so quickly there would be immense pressure for pp that hire min-wage workers to automate these jobs immediately. Thus very quickly we would run into a very large pool of pp that could not simply get any job no matter how hard they tried. This would imply either extreme poverty - welfare or universal income. BUT we are not even close to affording universal income (through it would have saved us ton of $ with the $2000 fiasco).

  244.  @xnitropunkx  That lab still produces stuff - its not like it was sold out and shipped out of Canada. So no harm was done at all. Nothing would have changed for us if it was in government hands as far as vaccine production is concerned. UK build 3 vaccine factories since pandemic start - all under operation now. Canada did zero so far.
    1
  245.  @fromagefrizzbizz9377  It is just one lab that happens to be old. Certainly worth of investment. What I say no one invested few billion dollars in Canada to build new facilities quickly like they did in UK. The $2000 and the new proposed child care is vote buying. Similar style to Greece now with debt in 3 years at the same level as per current spending estimates provided by PM. Nothing good will come out of this. If pp vote for him again in less then 10 years we either face bankruptcy like Argentina or have high taxes and stagnation like Japan - probably later model. Japan did not get out of the trap for decades now so don't expect Canada to magically get out quickly as we are just getting in.

  246.  @fromagefrizzbizz9377  Most nations are not worse off then we are by a large margin. US is doing great - their economy is recovering fast b/c of their quick vaccine response. China did not see a drop at all - they seen a modest rise. So you want me to believe over 50% of the workforce had drastic decline of more then $2000? This cannot be, as there not enough people making in the workforce enough to have $2000 drop. The sad truth is massive cheating - there has been explosion of people claiming making $5000 in "cookies" - just enough to claim their $2000. The $1500 in US was seen as huge. For Americans. If you think pp lost their homes you are delusional - not with rapid price increases. If there was some huge collapse in ownership there would be a crash in the market not a boom. We seen that already once in recent history - explain current situation. Also explain massive rise in bank account balances (in US, in Canada we have the $2000 bonus). 40h per week at $15 after taxes/ work expenses is around $2000. Do the math. Most $15 require at site work. Last time I checked public transport was not free. If restaurant staff was so desperate they would take a job at $18 at local MacD. They did not. Explain that one.

  247.  @fromagefrizzbizz9377  Lets see. Canadian Debt to GDP ratio is around 150% factoring this year. Take France. In 2020 it was 115. Lets say its 130 by end of 2021. France is in G7. France Debt to GDP is better then Canada. So Canadian GDP to Debt ratio is not the best in G7. Looking at US spending on just federal level, from memory, its like 2 trillion, Canada is like 450B CAD. US is roughly 10x bigger then Canada so it would need to spend 4.5 T CAD, but spent only 2.6 T CAD... so certainly less. The cookie people are not paying it back as they played by the rules. Some "cookie" pp were a bit too griddy and got too close to the limit . If you played safe and claimed say 6k in cookies you are fine. No need to pay back. Even if you wanted it back how are you ever planning to get it back - we are talking about pp that do not ever plan to work. Why on earth would you loose a home in rising market? If for unknown reason you could not pay mortgage payments just refinance - with housing going up its easy. In the very worst case you can sell your house and get a hefty $ over what you paid for it even a year earlier. There does not seem to be any "epidemic" of pp loosing - its impossible. If our unemployment and economy were so great we would not be lagging heavily behind US for few years now. Look at our GDP growth numbers and US, before pandemic, during pandemic and now. Normally if unemployment is lower then other country we should be doing better economically - but we are not at all doing better. So what gives? Maybe the unemployment numbers hide some ugly truth? Regarding 2008 recession - if we did so great since then... why are we lagging so far behind? Usually when you do better ... you lead. Again, MacD example shows there was little interest in supposedly jobless restaurant employees to get a job. Even when they went to 18/h. Why? 2000 why. People were paying cash under the table in order NOT to work. People were trying to get as little shift work as possible... maybe that explains low unemployment numbers? Everyone was employed but hardly working. God forbid you went over 1000. Paid manager 200 in cash for a promise not to work. So they hired more people... LOL! I think I rather easily shown that a lot of things you said are plain false or misleading at best.

They could have revived 1990s peace accords which more or less state land back for recognition.

China may become more like US once it is the top dog but so far it does not act like #2 at all.

If I am correct both set of people, Ukrainian military and DPR should be held accountable for war crimes. But I doubt any will.

What magical weapon systems would you give them? 1000 tanks? So? The other side also has 1000 tanks. All it would change is much longer war with many more dead. Give me a winning scenario for Ukraine.

  338.  @Aaron-rw3lv  But war cannot be won by Ukraine. Sending more arms just causes more dead on both sides.
    1
  339.  @Aaron-rw3lv  That cannot happen as their losses are simply to great & Russia has too much of a potential - i.e. too many people and too much working industry to arm these people. Or to put it the other way, once US got involved in WWII Germany could not win if US stayed committed to the war. Or to swing yet other way, Japan plan for WWII was to cause so many casualties initially onto US to discourage it from continuing - i.e. Japan was too weak demographically and had much smaller industrial capacity to win. Russian people are fully committed to the war & are causing much greater losses on the enemy. Thus there is no way for Ukraine to win. If Ukraine could win - one could say Japan could win also against US - but US was committed and was also causing greater losses - so ... HOW?! Note this is conventional, no nukes allowed. Also no direct involvement of NATO. However, even with NATO full involvement I assume a tie. I.e. it would go nuclear quickly and result in a tie. As you can see, Ukraine cannot win.
    1
  340.  @Aaron-rw3lv  No one wants to fight in a war - this is why you need conscription - same can be said of Ukrainian people - they do not want to fight as well. Putin does not need to lie to anyone - conscription was official - once conscripted you can be sent to the front line. Its military - it works same all over the world. What is not sustainable? Putin officially conscripted just 300k, maybe up to 500k unofficially. Quite sustainable for country size. Russian people know they need to fight or Ukrainians will keep killing their families in Donbass. Western production rates for say tanks are under 100 in all of Europe. It will take years to increase production to say 300. No orders were issued to that effect. Even if orders were made etc. Ukraine needs 1500 tanks or more per year just to keep current status. No one, maybe China, can produce that many tanks per year in short term (less thank a year) even if it was attacked or under threat - i.e. even with war measures act US cannot ramp up production to such high numbers in less than a year. Thus war is fought with what is available at the moment. I.e. with tanks that you have. Entire west has less tanks than Russia. Thus your assertion that Ukraine will have more equipment is false, even if west transferred all it has. Finally west has far less artillery systems than Russia - thus even if it transferred 100% Russia still has more. So no to more equipment. Also Russia has 7:1 demographic advantage - so even with equal losses it still wins.

If it was bio weapon I am sure it would be a bit more lethal :) China will not hold to #1 - no one can - it is certain through that in 100-200 year span as things are going the future of humanity is in Asia - i.e. Star Trek will contain mostly Asians.

  362.  @Grant_S_M  I am. So I am not the reason. Our PM is the reason. He was the one that did not get vaccine procured in time. He is the one that build zero factories (UK got 3 brand new ones). He is the one that build zero facilities for testing. He is the one that created travel restrictions that are unknown in detail to 99.99% of Canadian population and lead to a lot of interesting scenarios - such as the one in which you can make quarantine disappear if US lets you through the border, who knew talking to Americans == no need to stay for 14 days at home. So the question is, why would anyone vote for our current PM after such epic failures all over the place. I don't even mention little things, just major ones. We need to punish him at the voting booth - anyone but JT.

  366.  @MrStrangechange  Homeless people are only removed by force from private property. I never seen them removed from public property by force - usually they are given notice / tickets etc. nothing immediate. Different cities have different bylaws so it is difficult to make general statement. For example, in Calgary it can take over 30 days to clear an illegal campsite. In Toronto there are up to 10000 homeless living on the streets.
    1
  367.  @MrStrangechange  Vast majority of homeless do not build tent cities. They drift between shelters and sleeping outside. If they were removed - there would be no one left - unless you suggest homeless are produced in large numbers.

  370. Lavrov said that he may be right or wrong but Hitler may have had some Jewish blood in him yet he killed so many. Statement checks out to be 100% true. Hitler was so paranoid about this he even excluded himself from racial laws (and Jesus Christ) I am 90% certain his paternal grandfather was Jewish. Genetical testing says person from ME or north Africa. Not too many non Jews in Germany 200 years ago from the area. He also said that many Jews participated in Holocaust and were anti-Semitic. Main issue here is quantification of "many". Is 100 many? If we ignore the "many" again 100% true, there were Jews or at least people with Jewish heritage that participated in the Holocaust. Lavrov is 100% correct in suggesting Jews can be Nazi. Too many pp associated Nazi with identical ideology to Nazi Germany in WWII - Nazi were / are practical. Heck, Germans trained Chinese and later on were friends with Japanese calling them Arians of Asia. I can mention what US though of Japanese (huge racism) and even today Chinese are frequently deemed "inferior". To think Nazis actually... liked these pp!

  379. Our PM knew what he is doing when he authorized US request. Our two Ms need to wait till US elections. New US president may not be Trump and he may wish to normalize US - China relations or at least reset them. This could be done by getting Canada to release Meng. Canada should never have arrested her and deflected the issue with for example not letting her into Canada... through US would have found someone else to replace her. Remember that US loves to send both Canada and Australia against China & when China retaliates with blockades US offers China their own goods!

  382. @Level 70 And where is the war going on, in Russia or Ukraine? Even if Russia were to loose 100% of their territorial gains.... so what? Ukraine still lost. Even if Russia were to loose all of Crimea and Donbass and Ukraine regained all of its land, temporarily, Ukraine still lost. Why? Russia can simply retake the land. Land is only of use if it servers a purpose in war - i.e. if it brings you to your goal. There is no need for "extra land". The war is not about land after all. Russia is flexible, the can move out, they can move in etc. Take Bakhmut - Ukraine holds to the city like there was gold there. 20 brigades are stationed in and around the city. Russia is inflicting massive losses. Why such a death grip? Stalin was known for such "no step back" strategy followed by Hitler. This infuriated command around Hitler so much they tried to blow him up in a bunker & Stalin wised up after multiple failures.

  384.  @ElectroPunkpl  LOL, not at all - the war is between US expansion to remove Russian influence & to remove it as an important country while at the same time supporting "questionable" elements (not for the first time - US would support the devil to support their goal - see the Taliban). Europe is a victim of such manipulation. If Ukraine looses - which it will - its a win for United Nations human charter. All people have the right to determine their future, be it in Donbass or Taiwan. If these are not the right of Europe - than shame on them and their luck of moral values. What union the sick idea to destroy Poland by saddling it with 3rd world Ukraine in a union? What Union without Germany - it is Germany that holds together the current union - without Germans it would quickly roll out. Besides, Poland is against "Federal state" which is the next step for EU.

  385.  @southernstablesauto  I fail to see how US experience thought anyone to be the last man standing. US lost at least 4x less troops than Ukraine currently lost, adjusted or by total percentage. My grandfather fought in WWII since September 1939. He was captured, escaped from Germany, thanks to NKVD Jew captured again by the reds, escaped, spent six months as a slave for a farmer till he finally was able to join AK sometime in 1942. His less is to not die for your country but make the other guy die for his. I.e. lesson of Poland is NOT to be last man standing, as standing alone makes your victory pyrrhic. With your thinking I guess Japan should have stood firm after two nukes were dropped on it - they should have fought on. Good thing even before the nukes Emperor of Japan told his government to make peace. Or shall we say like in Polish anthem, "Jeszcze Polska nie zginela poki my zyjemy." - "Poland did not die yet till we are alive" - i.e. when we are dead there is no Poland - Poland and any other country is made by the people. This also flows into German idea of ethnic cleansing & destruction of intelligentsia - once people are gone - at least smart ones, there is no country.

  386.  @ElectroPunkpl  So if you are so sure that Donbass wants to be part of Ukraine why not allow UN sponsored referendum? You know, like a normal person would suggest. Say Musk suggested no NATO expansion and referendums in all areas Russia claims. Under UN flag with verification of residency. People were wiser after great war - they had referendums - not perfect but good idea. Why not now? If you are so sure Donbass wants to be part of Ukraine, why such resistance to a free vote??!!

  396.  De G  Not really - the world is quickly evening out - just look at where poor countries were 20 years ago, 40 years ago and 60 vs today. I.e. your assertion of consumerism is false. All you need to give people is technology - which China is totally fine with giving. Thus in 30 years the western countries such as EU and US / Canada etc will account for less then 1/3 of global market - Heck China alone will be greater then all of the current west combined (!) Once we finally get India into the program as well as rest of Asia I am sure that even you can see it. Problem is that the west arguably accounts for no more 1/8 of world population - thus even with 1/3 factor we are giving everyone still a huge edge. In 50-60 years this will even out more and in 100 there will be very few differences.
    1
  397.  De G  Well, we can see today that it is not correct view - we see that a lot of countries - including China have reached quite high levels. You have a theory that was correct in colonial times when world economy could be compared to a balloon - if you pinched it in the right spot you got far bigger share then others - if no one were to pinch it all would be poor (vs some very poor and some rich) - this is how British Empire functioned. However, we are not longer in so much of scarcity of resources phase - i.e. our economies are mostly services with tiny pinch of manufacturing - with exception of say Saudi Arabia and Australia our wealth can be limitless and unbound by some limited resource. India brought the issue on themselves with some poorly calculated moves - they wanted Goa - a small Portuguese colony in India. Instead of waiting few years they decided to have a little tiny war. This gave China legitimate reason to settle border dispute in their region also by force & win another war with India. To this day India and China have disputes in the region - as does a lot of others. India is behind China a LOT - its people are far less educated, it has archaic systems of governance and its democracy is quite flawed. Being both in India and China I can guarantee that India will be one of the last countries on Earth to reach prosperity - many countries in Africa if they control birth rate will beat them. As for China thinking the world is going to remain the same - I think that is more US thinking then Chinese - China is very future and change oriented - they are building more railways and highways then the rest of the planet combined. They invest heavily in latest technologies and education. I do not see China limiting some technology at all - I do see US trying all sorts of sanctions to limit spread of technology - for example US coerced with sanctions EU to not export latest chips to Hauwei. All this did was for China to invest even more to jump the gate and within few years it will have capacity to produce all latest chips for its phones (it does 10% currently) - give it few years and it will exceed technologically its competitors. Then we see whatever they will limit technology - so far I see only US doing limiting. I doubt 3D printing is as magical as you think - it is just another process - additive - similar to current common processes which are subtractive. I.e. 3D printing just wastes less material and in some cases it is cheaper and faster. It does not fundamentally remove anything from the manufacturing process - its just another tool. The problem with manufacturing in say Canada is not luck of some magic but luck of people / machinery / investment / high pay to even contemplate competing with China. Let me put it this way, when I make a part out of steel the material to make the part + energy + cutting costs etc. is roughly in line with the cost of the part in China mainland. I.e. in your 3D world, the cost for 3D printer in Canada to make widget X will be roughly the same in material cost as ready made good in China or maybe even on eBay. With current shipping rates in Canada there is NO WAY you can compete 1:1 with China - it costs at least 3x as much to mail it in Canada then China to Canada. So even with no profit and no wages we cannot compete. Let that sink in.

  401.  @chanfranc  I have like 10 paragraphs above. Main points are 1) If Canada restricts students from China such students will go to the US - we already seen this with Australia and trade. 2) Meng case serves US interests at a cost of Canadian interests 3) World overall is less divided today into rich and poor then it ever was and the trend is accelerating - i.e. the difference between rich and poor countries is shrinking mostly due to technology & no longer dependence on limited resources.
    1
  402.  @chanfranc  Given that I briefly served to defend this country I consider myself quite loyal. The treaty US has with Canada could have been easily sidelined and Meng simply could have not be let into the country. The treaty is not a demand it is request based as well - i.e. we can refuse to give back anyone we feel like - through that would set us up for retaliation. Two Canadians are in China on bogus charges same as Meng - both are "stuck" for years in a "hole". Both cases are politically motivated 100% as this is admitted by both China and US. Our PM has no reservation to dip into law if it serves political purpose as clearly illustrated by him. None of this has to do with CCP. I so far did not see any student coming in from mainland China to make CCP popular or something - maybe these exist but must be ultra rare & I finished U of T so I would notice. Most Chinese students are afraid of their own shadow, does not matter they were born her or in China. I fail to see how China is our enemy - we are more in this mess b/c our "friend" US is using us as a shield to punish China. With friends such as US, who needs enemies? Also it does not matter trail is open or close or whatever, what matters is whatever verdict is based on laws that feel fair to all involved or not - you should notice that many political dissidents in Soviet Union had open trails, did not exactly make them fair, even if their length got greatly extended.

  403. Given that US owns us and treats Canada as its ultimate influence sphere I fail to see what we can do. Any attempt to get out of this sphere will more or less end up like Russia - Ukraine, except US will not send tanks - but worse, bankrupt us. See how any warm feelings toward China ended?

  404.  @cyril9759  I am disgusted that people killed in fighting, bombing etc. are exhumed for propaganda purposes & making them part of a "show". Ukraine Kiev regime kills few civilians every day when they shell city centers - yet no one is burying and then re-discovering these people and showing their corpses exposing death from UA shelling. How would you feel if say your wife was killed and now for like 3rd or 4th time she is being moved around and your "leader" was making a show out of her? Legitimate war crimes of course should be exposed and prosecuted but not victims of shelling or other war incidents where one is not even sure whom killed them. There was a whole street filled with rotting bodies in Mariupol - well over 100 people killed in less then 1km, laying next to each other - why no outrage at their death? There was not even need to dig them up - they were exposed.

  411.  @er6890  And you believe all that is said. Video also shows Ukrainian tanks at 1:00. What are they doing there exactly? This feels like a montage of different videos for effect. I am not even 100% convinced that the burning vehicles shown are Russian or Ukrainian, hard to see. Only at 0:15 you see a tank hit from the rear.
    1
  412.  @er6890  OK, lets call time frame 1:00.5 you can see tank without any marks. Certainly not Russian. The front V is on T-72s. Its is certainly not T-80, they usually have rubber skirts on the turret. Look at time frame 0:31 all Russian tanks are in the same area. Now look at 0:59 and 1:00.5 - there are two tanks on the sides. One is at least 300m away from engagement and the other is at least 600m. Now hold the 1:00 frame, look at the tracks of tanks next to the courtyard. There are almost none - in the distance. Now go back to 0:25 lots of tank tracks as they are moving out. So time frame 1:00 is before time frame 0:25 and thus why there are tanks that are not there at 1:00.
    1
  413.  @er6890  I am still a bit puzzled at no ID marks and the T-72 does not look like version Russia uses - I am not 100% sure, but I do not see K-5 ERA - I am talking about the one 600 m away. Without clear markings from above with clear Z it could be taken out by Russian air power. So it feels 100% Ukrainian. Also why would they do the montage upside down?

  416. You do not understand the issue. US will provide rebate only to US made vehicles, not ones made in Canada. So no one will buy EV made in Canada & no one will produce it. I hope you do not expect Canadians to do "dumping" and pay 12500 USD for EV sold in ... the US? I.e. no one in Canada will subsidize US EVs. Giving say 12500 CAD in Canada will not resolve anything at all.

  422. I have to point out that such move - money for US treasury is called nationalization which is basically what US - a supposedly capitalist nation have been fighting many wars against. This move questions sanity of investing in US as your capital can be nationalized at any moment. It would be wise to re-think US bound investments as these could be in danger of nationalization.

  423. All terrorism is wrong. You can agree or disagree with journalists / military bloggers etc. But that does not give one right to kill them. They are civilians. Not to mention hurting or killing a lot of other innocent people in the process. Trying to justify this is same as justifying 9/11 by saying that some of these killed where somehow "involved". Everyone can justify anything if we go that route - every Russian, starting from a new born baby can be justified. Say no to terrorism - it is a route that does not lead to anything positive.

  425. What is key here is that you can visit the province - post Covid. I was there before Covid and the Chinese minister is right, other then rather extreme security measures, lots of police, control galore with more cameras then Uighurs and metal detectors all over the place there were no abuses seen by me. They were free to practice their religion - I seen the Mosque from the inside. Number of small kids suggests women, if sterilized, are not forced to before they have multiple children. Millions in camps do not explain rather extreme over population in cities. I also see that any Uighur that wishes to have a "job" is hired as "security" - feels like local "welfare" == job as security. Interesting are locals practicing with sticks and pipes self defense outside once a week per business.

  427. The Donets attack was by Ukraine - a war crime - about 90% certain. This could be DPR, did not have to be given by Russia, some soldiers could have captured Ukrainian system and fired it back at Ukrainian city filled with ethnic Ukrainians fleeing. It would be a good idea to check ethnic makeup of victims. If say 80% Russian ---> probably false flag UA attack, if 80% UA ---> probably DPR attack.

Imagine 50% carbon tax on everything - we would drop pollution so much overnight we may go negative. I mean pollution in poor countries of Africa is low - JT model - poor people do not pollute. I am not sure through poor people are happy people.

  445. Do as we say, not as we do. Biden apparently said that Putin needed his permission as only US has a God given right to create or abolish states.

  447. I am unsure why we are limiting international students - this is our main export! This is why we can exchange CAD to Nepali Rupees in Kathmandu with ease. Instead of limiting students - lets expand housing!

  448. Well, given that within next few years China will be the number 1 world player and only moving up I see a victory of a hybrid system. Communism is on paper hands down the best system to govern - on paper. All sci-fi shows depict the utopian future as communism "made right". Problem is that making communism "right" is ... well... next to impossible in the next 50 years.

  449. It was not a hospital, there is hardly any medical equipment & people directing fire live in the same city so I am sure they have some idea of target selection.

  453.  @Aaron-rw3lv  They were not? How did it work out that they did kill so many? Accidents? 300,000+ accidents? Don't give US the matches!

  454.  @eugene4817  The system has been in operation for decades now so its not exactly news. Regular ballistic missiles are not exactly that fast - the time to react, detect & engage is about 30min & they are faster then hypersonic weapons. This is not news exactly, been that way for years. The issue is with surprise first strike, even with Russian system your missiles have to have a clear path to engage and fly off. If enemy missiles hit in the area of your launch vehicles you are toast. You cannot fly through tons of debris not to mention if you were just nuked. If missiles are say in eastern Ukraine the reaction time is uber fast - they are in Moscow in like under 5min. Also they can use some stealth so detection & decision could be like 60 seconds. Certainly being close to your enemy is more desirable then being further away - close is always better. This is why we had Cuban missile crisis and this is why any attempt to place missiles in Cuba or Venezuela would end badly.

  455. Spot on - looks like a lot of Ukrainians are going away to Siberia for a very long time.

  456. Tiny minority. Most are neutral or disagree but not strongly. About 10x as many agree or agree strongly. There is no "revolution" in the works. Why would there be? Its not like Ukraine is "nice".

  457. US killed 100s of 1000s of civilians yet it calls a truck or car bomb terror attack. So why cannot Russia do the same?

  459. We have a lockdown in AB. This is why the question to Nenshi is what on earth is he going to lock down.... this is why he is so low on actual material - just hot air.

  460.  @DVinCanada  Effect of these is minimal - we have closed most schools. Other provinces closed only small fashion stores and theaters - most retailers such as Walmart or Home Depot are "essential service" thus this is mostly lipstick on a pig and just a hit on the small business. Check it out yourself what is exactly closed - no big stores are closed anywhere in Canada. Did Ontario close schools? Nope. Why not?

  461.  @DVinCanada  "Leaked memo says Alberta bars, restaurants will be closed to in-person dining at midnight Sunday" this will put us ahead of say ON as they have not closed schools but we did.

  462.  @sunkeet230  If you are so sure of that.... then why not support people voting that had residency there for say more then a year? Well?

  463.  @sunkeet230  Why not do as after WWI - when each region of defeated powers had to pick where they will belong. If this was done after dissolution of Soviet Union it would prevent like 10 wars. It could have been done after 2014. Heck Russia just wanted them to be nice to Russians and not join NATO but keep the land.

  464.  @sunkeet230  Catalonia is a clear example of EU double standard. Catalonia is very rich and its secession from Spain would weaken Spain a lot. So they opted to keep them, by force if needed. Donbass is also the richest part of Ukraine...

  465. I say we patch things up with China in secret and try to decrease our dependency on US. This way when uncle Sam says to jump we do not ask how high.

  466. LOL, what Canadian made products - we would simply get more stuff from US & some low quality stuff from Asia. Our economy would suffer and we would be all much poorer in addition to our world standing taking a dump. What effect would there be on China? It would gain a boost and its world standing would be not affected & could possibly increase.

  467. Putin calls Zelensky a bluff and wins.

  468. Oh so after feeling what Ukrainians felt Russians did rise up, same way to the occasion and stand behind their government and president. Well done.
