  1. India to Trudeau: "Get out." Canada to India: "We feel you."
    769
  2. Lets in millions too many, intensely exacerbating the housing and health care crises. Thinks he'll get a popularity boost by decelerating admissions very slightly. Needs to be looked at by an international team of top psychiatrists.

  3. Reporters: "How do you dare raise any doubts about the impeccable wonderfulness of my boss, our Great Leader?"
    157
  4. That cop's advice is being shown and ridiculed around the world, damaging Toronto's and Canada's already battered reputation.
    128
  5. Canadians: "It's been 8 years of you harming Canada's interests and reputation. You're destroying our future. How much more can you even do?" Trudeau: "Just watch me."

  6. When Al Sharpton and his disciples condemn something you've done, it means you've done something good. Praise the lord, etc.😄

  7. I noticed right away that they call Hzbh. a "militant group" instead of using the proper "T" word. Was Global purchased by The Guardian? 😄

  8. Just imagine if they weren't Marxist-leaning. They'd have been cleared out of there the first day. If not, the federal govt. would've stepped in by declaring martial law, as it did two years ago. Wokeism: Canada's state religion since 2015. We need a new Charter of Rights.

  9. The planes' freedom was not impeded. Sorry, Dmitriy. Interception does not mean shooting down, nor, in reference to international airspace, diverting (i.e. forcing an aircraft away).

  10.  @5Cdarkwing  "Not even similar" Let's see about that.... "The American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT) was the foundation (parent breed) used to create the American Bully. One particular APBT strain was crossbred to create a stockier physique. Eventually, enough breeders agreed that these dogs were disparate enough from APBTs that they should be called a different breed. The bloodline of these mixed breeds was further influenced with openly-acknowledged breeding with the American Bulldog, English Bulldog, and Olde English Bulldogge." Right, "not even similar."🙄 There's much more, let's go on: "The American XL bully has a bite force of around 305 PSI (pounds per square inch) — among some of the highest ranking for Bully dog breeds. According to Topdogtips, Pitbulls come close with a PSI bite force of 235. Next is Alano Español with 227 PSI and English Bulldog with 210 PSI. Sep 15, 2023" "In the UK, [American] Bully dogs were responsible for more than 50% (10 out of 19) of the dog-related human deaths between 2021 and June 2023, despite being estimated to only make up a few thousand of the also estimated 13 million dogs in the UK," "In December 2023, the UK Government added the breed to the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991, making it illegal to sell, breed, abandon or have a[n American] XL Bully in public without a lead and muzzle in England and Wales." "Bully Watch, which campaigns for controls on the breed, places the number of deaths related to XL Bullies at 14 between 2021 and September 2023. Victims have included a young toddler, professional dog walkers, and elderly individuals." "According to Dr. Richard Barker, a National Health Service (NHS) consultant surgeon, wounds caused by XL Bullies are more severe than those caused by other breeds. He stated that the dogs' bite can shred skin and crush bones, carrying particular risk of irreparable nerve damage." Right, "not even similar."🙄  Defenders of these breeds are the ones responsible for the deaths of numerous people and injuries like the ruined leg of the little boy in this story. Congratulations. Sleep well.

  11. Since when does a low-tech item like a section of watermain have to be sourced from outside the country? Indeed, why the hell isn't it on hand in Calgary itself? You know, for emergencies? 🙄Good lord.

  13. Liberal caucus senior member: "Ok, let's figure out what should we say to voters to make them understand how morally wrong they are if they don't support us. Come on now, we need the wording to be perfect or the unwashed masses won't get it. Hey, did you have any of that Chateau Laffitte? Let's get the waiter back over here."

  14. Only a tiny part of Alaska comes that close to Russia. Most points on the 200-mile line off its 6,640-mile-long coast are far, far away from Russia. To prepare for your clearly-needed introductory studies on geopolitics, you may wish to study a little geography and the proper use of practical reasoning.

  15. Don't forget NDP voters, because PM Peter Pan could never have done all that damage without the backing of Mr. Rolex Collection.

  17. It is normal to state someone's occupation if he or she is central in a news story. You didn't know that? 😮

  18.  @sadnucksfan  Where in Canada was public housing "sold off"?🤨 Be specific, because I don't think that ever happened in Canada. It happened in Britain under Thatcher, but guess what? The homes were sold to the people renting them! (At bargain prices.)
    21
  19.  @katreades-kt8jv  It's taught in such a way as to suggest to children that since there are two sexes, there's only a 50% chance that people are "assigned" the right sex at birth. (That's right, I don't use the word gender. It's a linguistics term.) As children are profoundly suggestible in the first place and moreover have considerable respect for what is taught in school, this introduces unreasonable speculation into their partially-developed minds. It leads them to suppose that whatever problems of adjustment they may have in life, problems which are normal for children to experience, they are potentially solvable by masquerading as someone of the opposite sex. This entails a radically dangerous program of taking opposite-sex hormones, then having surgery to sterilize them. The point of it is to increase the number of so-called trans people, which is a political goal and is moreover harmful to the children affected. As such it is rightly countered with political measures to reduce such harm, as Premier Smith has now done. Good on her.

  21. Come on, don't call high-20s and low-30s a "heat dome." 🙄 It's just the latest of numerous hot Labour Days I've sweated through in my life.

  22.  @Classikh  You're engaging in wild surmise and guessing at motives here, heaping speculation on top of a stance of victimization. In fact, to call out these crime problems is not politically expedient at all. It courts political disaster and as such it is actually remarkably brave. I greatly resent your baseless accusations about Canada. They may get you an 'A' in your York University seminar from your TA but they're false nonetheless.

  23. Don't go DEI. Go HOME. Hire On Merit Exclusively.

  24. The emotional vociferousness of your post suggests you believe the killing on Canadian soil was done by India, but was justified. Shouldn't you say so openly? Real conviction requires that.

  26. Happy Birthday Israel!! 🇮🇱 Never let them get you down! (Speaking of down, down with Olivia Chow!)
    18
  27. I really resent this foreign dispute or entanglement landing on Canadian shores. When you emigrate to Canada, leave your conflicts behind and don't bring them here. This comes just days or weeks after East Africans or East African-Canadians clashed violently multiple times in Canada this summer. The Calgary Police chief called one such melée the largest outbreak of violence in his city in memory.
    18
  28. How about demanding that other Muslim countries fast-track immigration applications?
    17
  29. The frequency and the seriousness of crime in Toronto is rapidly rising. Meanwhile the number of police officers per capita is plunging. And what is the mayor — with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Guelph😄— busy doing? She's spending money on re-naming things. Torontonians should demand more cops.
    17
  30. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this headline. Trudeau has made every day in Canada a combination of "Groundhog Day" and April Fool's Day. Except April Fool's Day is fun and "Groundhog Day" was funny.
    17
  31.  @Aaron-rw3lv  Bizarre take. Personally I support Israel, but it's very arguable that protesting the PM's policy is best done where the PM is. A hospital full of sick people is entirely inappropriate. Moreover, Mount Sinai serves patients of all backgrounds and never discriminates between them. (P.S. That "rent-free" trope is incredibly showy, empty, puerile and tired. Always was.)

  36.  @alexdavila1356  Cutting off money for the TM2 pipeline would be mad at this point. Finishing it is the only way to get money back out of it. It will be a $40bn cash cow once in service. But what a debacle the way its costs ballooned. I assume a bunch of money ended up in Liberal war chests. There should be an exacting audit and an inquiry.

  37. ​ @Dudelsackpfeifer  One is orderliness and respect for rules of conduct. With vastly higher immigration, one now sees in the streets mass flouting of traffic rules at a far higher rate by people visibly of non-European background. I see examples every minute or hour which I formerly saw once a year.

  38. America can walk and chew gum at the same time. This isn't coming out of the homeless budget, Cletus. What's shameful is not completing grade school.

  39. No, intercept is correct. Interception refers to the process of identifying and making contact with an unknown or potentially hostile aircraft. Key aspects: (1) Identifying an aircraft of interest; (2) Tracking it; (3) Inspecting it visually; (4) Attempting to establish communications; (5) Potentially diverting it if needed.

  40. At this point he'd legalize anything if he thought it would keep him from getting kicked out of office. El desperado.

  41. Not mentioned: The flagrant likelihood that people are appalled when they find out just what it's like living under the government of Prime Minister Peter Pan.

  42.  @ThinkingDoesMakeMeImportant  He said "more similar." You're familiar with the meaning of the words more and similar, of course? (P.S. We've all had enough of this throwing the word literally around without reason. Start pointlessly overusing something else, please.)

  43.  @miladabravenec14  Putin can make peace in one second: He can withdraw. And he will, eventually. Why not go on Russian social media to urge that he do it now?

  44. I cannot listen to him, look at him or even have the thought of him cross my mind without my skin crawling. He simply has to go and so does his party. Now.

  47. Putin was like "Yeah, you're right, Ukraine must surrender in the name of peace."

  48. Ford is right. It's time to end this alcohol sales regime from the 1890s. Visitors from other countries are just gobsmacked that such a thing still exists.

  49. It's been a year already? Great!  Omg, that's so good that one year is already gone. We're a year closer to the opportunity to vote her out.👍
    11
  50.  @calgreg2569  It makes no sense at all. The assistance Canada is providing to the poor victim nation of Ukraine does not stand in the way of our ability or willingness to fight our forest fires. If our governments aren't doing enough about these blazes, the reasons lie elsewhere. Any Putin supporter would love your post, though, and the one you're replying to.

  51. "In the latest year for which CRA data is available, 27.5 million people filed a tax return. Of that, over 9.1 million people or one-third of all filers paid no federal income tax that year. Thus 18.4 million tax filers paid all federal and provincial income tax." —Canadian Taxpayers Federation

  54. People don't report crimes. Because they don't see any point in it. The 911 dispatcher gives off attitude like she/he doesn't care, like you're imposing, like it doesn't matter. The cops ordinarily don't show up for many hours. When they do, they listen and take the information, then shrug and leave. The courts...well, you know.

  55. I will be going out of my way not to go back there. Liquor and wine only. The beer is colder at Metro anyway, checkout is quicker, hours are later.

  56. Virtue signalling: "after First Nation [sic] members fall ill." It doesn't matter who the victims are. That they're human beings is all that matters. Un-sanctimonious headline: "Ontario takes action against chemical plant after area residents fall ill."

  59. Trudeau is in desperation mode and quite rightly, too. He needs to do anything and everything he can to raise his public approval ratings or MPs will start discussing showing him the door. I mean discussing it more.

  60. Canada is now like the US: the majority community is quite law-abiding, similar to Europe and Japan for rates of committing crimes. Certain other parts of the community commit crimes at very high rates. Let's start by openly confirming this and then begin talking and brainstorming about what can be done. It's the whole country's choice: more crime or less crime.

  61.  @josdav07  Yet it's the dog who will be euthanized.

  62. Just know, Albertans, that a great many people east of Manitoba take your side in this matter. Watch as every region of the country tosses this government out the window in a few months. A Conservative landslide is brewing, e.g., in Ontario. Correction: heaves it out the window with considerable force.

  63. Video title bears zero relation to actual video. Not found or reflected in it in any way. Why use a statement unrelated to the video as the title? Amateur hour, as usual.🙄

  64.  @sadnucksfan  Just as I thought! Not one unit of public housing was "sold off" by the Harper government or anyone else. He cancelled subsidies to provincially- or municipally-owned units, but they remained public housing. Or if any did not, it was a local decision. I wish you well in your career at the CBC.

  65. Omg, the first fully rational and knowledge-based comment I've seen. Thank you.

  66. When did the term forest fire get replaced with the 10x more dramatic-sounding word "wildfire"? All I know is that it was during the last five or ten years, right when the quality of journalism fell off a cliff.

  67.  @jeanbrunma  But these overruns were just jaw-droppingly colossal. Staggering, stupendous. Hundreds of per cent, ten of billions of dollars. If what you say is true, fine. But let it be proved by an inquiry. (Which will never happen without a change of government.)

  70.  @Kingdennissinned  That's a tough one. I favour gay marriage for its indirect benefits to society. (Not so much on the grounds of human rights.) But yes, it's arguable that it has also resulted in indirect harms, such as what we see today. Mind you, as I understand the situation gay people aren't the greatest supporters of this trans ideology. Many if not most feel it has gone way too far or are simply against it. Many of them would just as soon pull the 'G' out of the alphabet-soup abbreviation.

  71. Surprising level of support for Canada from the NSC. I'd give it about a 5 out of 10, which in the context is really a 7.5. I can only assume that Modi's office tacitly pre-cleared the remarks (which included no actual criticism of India) since the US will not risk a chill in relations with India. Right now it's one of their highest priorities. And no doubt there's general agreement that this will soon fade from the headlines on its own (except in Canada, and that won't matter).

  72. [Of the Houthis:] "Their next aggression may be more about defending themselves." Excuse me, but that doesn't make any sense.🤨

  73. The Freedom Convoy wasn't on private property, it was on Parliament Hill. The Freedom Convoy wasn't calling for the destruction of any ethnic / racial / religious group using the same language and rhetoric as the Naw Zees. The Freedom Convoy also welcomed people of all political persuasions.

  74. Having a military is not some sort of optional frill. It's vital. Breaking news: Canada needs re-building in absolutely every single area. Housing, doctors, addiction care, defense, the works. Never mind a brand-new bag, Papa needs a brand-new everything.

  75. Quite right. 🤔I want to know why I can't say such things in these pages.🤨 When I try, it's Poof! and they disappear.

  77. The high-speed fatal crash was tragic, but the aspect of the fire would be 1000x more newsworthy in its own right if the car had caught fire driving safely in its lane. Perplexity: "Based on the available data, it is not more likely for a Tesla to burst into flames after a high-speed collision with a concrete pillar compared to a comparable internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle. In fact, the evidence suggests that electric vehicles (EVs) like Tesla are generally less prone to fires than ICE vehicles."

  78.  @misamisatv  You did ignore the original statement and hurled bullying abuse. Being on the left means everything is justified, no matter what. This is the problem. Excessive self-approval. It needs to be examined.

  84.  @RB-kr1ww  Russia, China, Iran and North Korea have ganged up on Russia's smaller, weaker, harmless neighbour, Ukraine, to commit mass atrocities against it. Ukraine had not even so much as tossed a piece of litter over the Russian border. So don't talk to me about warmongering.

  85. Prime Minister Peter Pan: "Hey, I'm dealing with this. Canada is short about 4 million places to live, and not many are being built, so I'll admit another 500,000 people a year. I'm also giving out free hard drugs. Combined, these measures will end homelessness quickly."

  92.  @cacampbell3654  That's an orthodox Western liberal's take, but there's a lot more to international relations than pieties like that. Friendships between countries, like flowers, grow in dirt — as long as they're watered. Anyway, Modi is Modi, he's not India.

  93. You didn't spot the word "Thirty" on the line above. If I were a teller and it was under my limit I wouldn't go along with that. I'd make one or two phone calls to verify, and if that didn't satisfy me I'd say no. But you can be certain the teller at National Bank saw it and accepted it. No teller misses that.

  94. The sheer gall is infuriating. Simply because they face crushing defeat in next year's election, they claim — merely claim, mind you — that they will do what voters have demanded for years, what they kept calling voters "rheighcyst" for demanding. Suddenly it's not rheighcyst, it's ok! It's sound policy! 🤬Grrr. Vote them out!

The coalition force comprising over 40 countries (from every continent) was called the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF). But perhaps you feel the UN treated the Taliban unjustly. If so, you of course have every right to that opinion.

  172. It wasn't in Chinese airspace. It was over international waters. Besides that, China voted to support the North Korea sanctions, and monitoring is part of those sanctions. Canada is only doing its part to support the UN-mandated sanctions. It was only a maritime reconnaissance plane, which is exactly suited to the task. Canada is a square country which doesn't behave aggressively or inappropriately towards anyone, let alone China.

  173. "How Canada's reputation is faring," not "fairing"! Omg.🙄 How one fares is how one 'makes out,' how one 'does.' (Originally, to 'fare' was to make one's way in the sense of travel.) So How've you been faring? = How've you been doing? = How've you been making out? 'Fairing' isn't even a verb, it's a noun. A fairing is an outer covering, like on a spaceship or a motorcycle.

  178.  @sarah7755  Oh my god.🙄Sure it's happening right now, but past or present doesn't enter into it. 'Leave behind' means don't bring these grievances and battles in your new home. It's fine if your old country gets into conflict and you care. It's fine if you send money to the side which you support. It's fine if you travel back to lend support in person in whatever way. But don't cause trouble on American streets (or European or Canadian or Australian streets). I think you had a bit of a reading comprehension moment there. Best wishes and have a good day.

(3) I don't "think she isn't delighted," I said, in different words, that either she isn't or she's a strange person. Imagine having one's feelings affected to that degree by a social media comment, and then actually responding as you did. Wow, madam, you've got problems. (Not 'sir,' surely?) Allegedly.

Here's a guy who stands a great chance of meeting the fate of Mussolini, and here he is moralizing. Omg.

  182. No! Freeze, don't seize. Seize it post-war, for reconstruction. During the war, aid can be funded without it.

It's what he wanted all along and it turns out the afterimage of his term in office and the prospect of him coming back are, together, moving mountains — even though he's out of power. I was never a supporter of his and never liked him, but he was effective, I have to admit that.

But all three occupations are unsuitable preparation for holding the most important job in the country.

Well then, I wish it rapid success in its further efforts. I think that is possible. The world needs a strong and healthily functioning India more than ever, as the number of good countries seems to be shrinking. By the way, it might interest you to know that Canada has no colonies. You've been misinformed on that.

  197. "Using a large dataset with detailed measures of criminal involvement we found consistent evidence that individuals self-identified as politically liberal also self-reported more involvement in crime cross-sectionally and prospectively.

If there are such people as you point to, they could easily solve the problem by taking an interest in becoming Canadians, not residents of Indian enclaves! No border-straddling, please. To newly-arriving or would-be Indian emigrants to Canada, I say: You're welcome to come in, but it's In Or Out. I hope Canada-India relations can recover quickly. There are important areas where we should be working together as allies, for example against those who would like to see democracy disappear off the face of the earth.

The Speaker thought he would make a contribution by bringing in this old guy who lives in his hometown, but basic history was over his head and he blew it. Unfortunately everyone trusted him to handle it correctly. Blame also has to go to the Prime Minister's Office because they have ultimate responsibility for visits of foreign heads of state.

Without the US it would be like one gigantic Cuba or Venezuela.

  271.  @TRYHARDGAMER604  You get at least one helper, preferably two. You wrap your leading hand in a piece of clothing. You use a briefcase, knapsack, bag, anything, as a shield in your other. You close, you parry one thrust or ignore the result if you fail to, you go for the forearm or elbow as you pull or knock him down. You hang onto that elbow or forearm for dear life, do whatever it takes to inflict pain, bite him if you can't do anything else. Someone else smashes the knife hand any way they can, stomps on his face, snaps the other arm or wrist—any of those, whatever it takes. Two seconds later he's pinned, he's incapacitated, he's disarmed, it's over. I would do that rather than watch people get killed. But probably not if unaided. Civilians on a London bridge did this a few years ago. And the guy had a fake bomb vest as well.

  274.  @gravegaming2023  My previous comment, of course, the one where I said a lot of jobs that may be generally all right still aren't suitable as preparation for being prime minister. Anyway, I'll just move on to the University of Calgary: I only know one person who went there; namely, my doctor for quite some years now. He's one of the country's more eminent physicians and is also an award-winning professor at its leading medical school. He heads his department at a hospital perennially ranked top-10 in the Newsweek-Statista World's Top Hospitals, which has been compiled annually for over 90 years. (4th globally in the current year, 3rd for two years before that). Which leads me to wonder: just how bad can U of C be?

  282. ​ @Hutch-b2p  First, no one's talking about doing away with reportedly lucrative LCBO wholesaling. (In fact the Ford govt. set up provincially-run wholesaling for private cannabis retailing just a few years ago, so they're clearly not against that sort of thing.) So subtract wholesaling profits from that $2.5bn figure. Second, once LCBO retailing is done away with, a flood of private-retail taxes will flow into government coffers. So subtract a further amount from that figure to represent such inflows. Whether the new totals will amount to less than $2.5bn, about the same, or more than $2.5bn, should be (and has been, surely?) the subject of carefully calculated projections. I'm not about to trust union-hired tax consultants or economists on the matter, by the way. And I will preemptively point out to you that it cannot be presumed that, simply because profits will be made by private retailers, the net result will mean comparatively lower provincial revenues. Microeconomics and taxation don't work that way. It may very well be that the whole alcohol retailing ecosystem (including payroll and other business taxes quite apart from corporate income taxes, as well as those generated by increased real estate investment and activity, as well as investment and activity in other spheres), may yield higher total government revenues. Thanks for raising that important subject.

  310. No. Under the law, a true statement or allegation about a person—and it need not be absolutely true; it is enough that it be "substantially true"—cannot be defamatory.

  311.  @TwistyTrav   "Proving it to be false." No. Actually, in a defamation suit the legal onus is on the defendant to show that it's true, not on the plaintiff to prove it's false.

Yet every legal source you can find will say that the essence of defamation is a false statement or statements.)

They are in favour of an authoritarian communist-type regime, not anarchy. And he knows it.

  377.  @Rudraksh-ql4ce  Well, that sounds serious. But accusations are flying back and forth. I don't think Canada has made an effort to involve itself in this Indian dispute. It has no desire to shelter murdering terrorists so I believe that there must be more to it than you are letting on. I don't see Canada making a single exception only for Sikh terrorists. Perhaps you are right, I'll look into it some more. But you sound very partisan. In any case, I resent those specific parties in India and those Indian Canadians who have brought this Indian conflict into Canada. Whoever they are (and I cannot really name them) they could hardly think of a worse thing to do to a foreign land which has always been friendly to them, used to give them a lot of aid, and has welcomed them into its home.

  378.  @Rudraksh-ql4ce   Good! Keep going. I wish India a better 2024 and a better future. Canadians have always felt the same and used to be major donors. Also please excuse my inaccuracy. Tbh, I didn't mean it literally at all, I just meant it rhetorically. I'm a bit surprised I was that close.

You then put his words in the mouths of made-up people who in addition to opposing Trudeau also, in your fiction, support Trump. It's a way of asserting that if you oppose Trudeau you must support Trump, and that is crap argumentation. It's a way of expressing your emotions but it doesn't qualify as thought, nor is it a debate-level thing to say. You made a straw man, you set him up in front of you, and you ran him through with a sword. It's like saying: "It's terrible that any person who doesn't want to take this va ck scene would also say misogynistic and racist things!" (Ring any bells? It should, since your guy Trudeau said it in nearly so many words. And I see you've learnt well at his knee.)

Nearly the whole coastal route down to the Bosphorus Straits is alongside NATO countries, so I wonder if it's considered safe to hug the their shorelines so as to be within their territorial waters.

  419. (1) Well, at least Global gave both leaders time to speak. But unequally: Trudeau, 2m40s. Poilievre, 59s. (2) Notice that Trudeau focused on justifying Ukraine aid, which most Canadians support. But he offered no justification for forcing the carbon taxes, which most Canadians oppose, on a Ukraine trade deal. ("Majority of Canadians want carbon tax dropped or waived for three years — poll" (Reuters, Nov.16, 2023) (3) Every day Prime Minister Peter Pan looks more and more like Celine Dion. What's with that? (4) Anti-Americanism is Trudeau's shadow platform, his ace-in-the-hole, if you will. When he's in trouble, it's the card he plays. But if you look closely it's really his platform's central plank. Is it because the late Matthew Perry, an American and the son of his father's Press Secretary, beat him up one day on the way home in Grade 5? (They attended the same school in Ottawa.) In some ways Matthew Perry was a great man. May he rest in peace.

Society will have homosexuality whether it will or no. It always has and always will. And in my view there's a benefit to it from having the relationships of people in that category be more lasting and stable, and less like the San Francisco bathhouse scene of the late-1970s. Gay marriage, if I'm not mistaken, accomplishes that to a significant degree. What's your response to that?

Result of the vote: "15 voted in favour. None voted against. None abstained." Yes, Russia voted in favour. Yes, China voted in favour. ISAF, the International Security Assistance Force was thus formed. It comprised troops from Europe, Asia, North America, South America and Oceania.

Now, 26 months later, its army is in poor shape, has lost an incredible number of men and stunning amount of equipment, and controls less Ukrainian territory than it did in the summer of 2022. The economic costs have far surpassed 100 trillion roubles. Tell me, Mr. Davidovich, why is Russia doing so poorly? It looks to me like the Ukraine War is the Afghanistan 1979-89 War version 2.0. Prepare for defeat. Then prepare for 1991, version 2.0. 😩

  448. As soon as I hear "military industrial complex" I know I'm dealing with an intellectually impaired person. The phrase comes from the US in the 1950s when the US armed forces were absolutely enormous — far, far bigger than in the present day. Twice the total enlistment at a time when the US had half the population, so 4x bigger. The US military and the companies supplying it really were running the country in some ways. Imagine today if the US armed forces were 6-million strong with a budget of $3.6trn. So to invoke such a phrase today is simply nonsense. The soft drinks industry is far larger than the military supply business in the US. And to associate it with Canada, which has nearly no military, is especially absurd.

  468. Quite right. And I think historians will regard the Ukraine War as the prelude to much larger Indo-Pacific conflict. (Some analysts already do see it like that.) What looks superficially like Russia v. Ukraine really boils down to the West v. China. There's no question Xi greenlighted Putin's decision to invade, but I go farther and believe he actually nudged him into it. Russia and China are really more frenemies than real allies, and are actively trying to game each other. Xi's interest is in using Russia to study the West's response, drain the West militarily and financially, and make use of the war as a drone lab in preparation for Taiwan (and what I'm sure is an intended series of regional aggressions).

  510.  @ryanb3908  1) My grammar is faultless and I think you know that. 2) The food supply chain consists of the seed companies, the fertilizer companies, the millions of farmers, the thousands of independent food processing companies large and small, the transportation companies and their countless truckers, and on and on and on. And it extends far outside Canada across the world. The idea that the five Canadian majors "control" all that is preposterous. They own their grocery stores and a certain proportion of wholesaling. And they compete against one another. I know they compete against one another because whichever items I buy from one of them I could easily pay 25, 50 or 100% more for elsewhere, if I were less discriminating.

  511.  @ryanb3908  1) Logical fallacy. One misdeed does not necessarily indicate others. That's a timeless principle of justice. 2) Oxford English Dictionary: "fault·less /ˈfôltləs/ adjective free from defect or error. your logic is faultless " Btw, I just got back from Loblaw-owned Shoppers Drug Mart. I bought items which were about $120 pre-tax at regular prices, and would've come to $135 with tax. But they were all on sale. So I paid $76 pre-tax, for a total of $83. For doing that, I also got $1.14 worth of Loblaw ("Optimum") points. Finally, for spending over $75 pre-tax they gave me a further $25 worth of points. So instead of $135 it really only cost me $57. I managed to save $78. Ya just gotta be smart, my good man. Have a great day.

  521. ​ @mentalphilanthropist35  Please acquaint yourself with actuality. First of all, the safe drinking water problem has been almost entirely addressed. Try to keep yourself up to date once every five or ten years. Second, contrary to the impression given by the media, the so-called problem largely amounted to settlements that couldn't qualify as villages or even hamlets. In most cases we were talking about a few houses with maybe 10 or 20 residents demanding a multi-million-dollar water treatment plant. (Or at least city-dwelling activists demanding it on their behalf.) And before safe supplies were provided at multi-billion-dollar expense, govts. provided bottled water. Third, the claim that one in four people are using food banks, meaning over 10,000,000 Canadians (!), is a simple and abominable untruth. A disgraceful falsehood which should be immediately retracted. As for people working three jobs, surely that in itself isn't a problem. For one thing, it's hours on the job that make work potentially over-burdening, not how many employers one has. For another, it's a good thing that they could find places that were hiring. Yes, life for some in Canada is hard. That has always been true and always will be, but better times come for nearly all. In the meantime, even being poor in Canada remains something better than being poor nearly anywhere in the world. It's sad that you think the best response is sanctimony and hatred of your own country. Such an outlook would spell personal misery for anyone, even in a country that were a virtual Eden. As I began by saying, please try to be less out of touch and more realistic. You'll be glad you did. Now please have a really nice day.😀
    1
  522.  @mentalphilanthropist35  And how many people is that? Extremely few. Over 90% of the problem has been addressed, at the expense of billions and billions of dollars. Moreover, they are well outnumbered by the number of Canadians outside reservations who don't have safe or treated water. It's a simple fact of life for a minority of Canadians in remote areas whether they are First Nations people or not, whether they live on reservations or not. And of those 31 (which is itself an outdated figure, as the number is now lower: 28 and falling) most now have solutions currently under construction. If you and a few dozen other people locate yourselves in a remote area, no one is going to come along and build you a multi-million-dollar water and sewage system and treatment plants, no matter if you're the whitest people in the history of the Earth. That is a fact. I leave you to your media-fuelled hatred and media-fuelled bias. Buh-bye.

I can't remember how many, but I think I can say several; it wasn't in any case mere hours, which might be too little time to reverse a planned course of police action. Thus, not an excuse for martial law. Parliament Hill may have people living not far from it but it is not properly thought of as a "residential neighbourhood." It's the most appropriate possible place for protest against the government of Canada. Anyway, "late-night partying," if there was any, is risible as a justification for the suspension of civil liberties which is the purpose of martial law. Ordinary police action is sufficient for any such nuisance. As for "the resolution to their demands," it is a simple departure back to their respective hovels and the resumption of their work and studies, if any. They have made their point (illegally, mind you, and most arrogantly). And now it's well past time to sawed off.

First of all, I question the scientific validity of some rando's "study" on which continent the ancestors of drivers pulled over in Peel came from—a study which he conducted as he drove by.  Second, you're really talking about quotas here. That means before an officer in traffic can take a drunk off the road or nail a speeder, he/she has to check to see where the department is on drunk drivers who are of a particular reigh sss. Tell me how you're not talking about ticket quotas. Tell me how you're not talking about crime quotas. Tell me how you're not talking about penalty ceilings which any skin-colour group can't go over. And if you're serious that that's not what you're about, take back that "majority pulled over" nonsense. Thankfully the black Canadian community is divided on this. The good side is upset with people like you trying to excuse and exalt the bad members. Those who conduct themselves in a solid fashion have no truck with this permanent campaign to make criminality something that's ok and cool and justified. Yes, justified. That's the contention of the other camp.

  618.  @notsunnydaysahead  But an average Canadian resident, whether born in Canada or not, continually sends whackloads of money out of the country for imported goods, most of it you-know-where. And for vacations, where he or she delivers the money in person. I expect "almost his entire pay" is a major overstatement. Just to house himself and eat likely consumes most of his earnings, remittances to his family coming at the expense of Amazon, Best Buy, imported clothes, a lease on an imported car, etc. I say a solid person with a respectful attitude towards Canada's people, traditions and institutions is a welcome asset to the country even if he sends a thousand or two a month abroad to support family members. (This one sounds like he'll soon be voting Conservative besides.) It's people who are hostile to us and who commit crimes whom we need to exclude.

As for class and money, yes, ultimately a people obsessed with them definitely will get warped in various ways, which may appear to have no connection to them. Not everyone has a mind capable of seeing this, alas. If the US didn't have class and money problems it would never have become susceptible to the myriad cons presented by leftists. Calm down, breathe, read everything twice, and watch who you call a liar. But especially calm down. No frenzied person ever thought well. Cheers.

  636. Excuse me, but these Canadian patrols aren't any sort of military adventuring. They are UN Security Council-mandated. North Korea has been under U.N. Security Council sanctions for its nuclear and ballistic missile programs since 2006. China has a veto, so it either voted in favour of them or it abstained. China and Russia are now pushing to have these sanctions eased. It's all part of their plan to harass the West into ruin via low-key attacks in hundreds or thousands of ways ranging from petty to massively brazen.

  647.  @aetherfox4404  I'm not so sure. An official US government estimate of conducting fairly thorough searches of every container arriving at and leaving all US ports a couple of years ago was, if I remember rightly, only $18-30bn. Canadian container traffic is probably less than a tenth that of the US, since our GDP is about 1/11th. I can hardly say for sure but I'm going to guess that two billion a year would be more than enough. The value of cars stolen in 2022 passed the $1bn mark; from there car thefts rose sharply in 2023. Also note that, besides what might be discovered by sniffing around or peeking into departing containers, inspecting all arriving cargo would certainly yield some interesting results as well. (Incidentally, the US already does randomly inspect about 5% of all cargo containers arriving and departing. That 5% is overwhelmingly arrivals.)

The researcher cautioned reporters when announcing her findings, saying the technology was unproven in this context. The media ignored her warnings and told the public that the graves were a fact, or at least led them to believe it. As a result, many churches in Canada were burnt down. Trudeau remarked publicly that he understood why. It was really revolting to read the hatred you expressed in your reply.

  702. ​@Rocksteady-hl2ks The US/NATO certainly did succeed in Afghanistan. Their aim wasn't, like the Soviets in 1979, to basically annex it. Their aim was to punish the Taliban for what it had done to the US and to send a message to all other countries: namely, that if militants you train commit deadly acts in the US you will get some very unpleasant visitors and they will stay for a long time. It turned out to be 20 years, and major attacks on the US have not recurred. The US left (rather wisely) at a time of its own choosing, i.e., a few months after Putin began massing troops near the Ukrainian border. Contrast this with the total disaster the Soviets made of their unpardonable invasion. Their eventual withdrawal, owing largely to US support of the mujahideen, preceded the disintegration of the government and indeed the country by only a year or two. Get ready Misha: 1989 and 1991 are going to happen all over again. Ukraine is Afghanistan 2.0. I would scout the lots near my apartment building for places to plant potatoes and beets if I were you.

  741. For selling $6.4bn worth of most things, $347m in profit isn't really a lot. But it's a 5% net margin, which is actually high for the grocery business. Typically grocers have a 1-3% net margin. Now, it is possible that their profits are due to brilliant management and hard-working staff. But personally I don't shop at Metro because of the high prices.

  742. I am Vladimir Putin and that's exactly the kind of post I like to see on Western social media. As a matter of fact I pay tons of people a salary and equip them with fabulous equipment and software to do just that every day, all day long, year in, year out. Did you used to work for me?

  744. Thanks, NATO. You forced the utterly abysmal Trudeau into doing at least one good thing.👍 Now make him boost the Canadian Armed Forces budget. (But batting 1 for 100 isn't cool. He wouldn't get my vote in a trillion trillion years. Also: Sorry, Giorgia Meloni, that you had to stand there next to him. Really sorry.)

  745.  @stratford374  He did not "claim" there was a terrorist attack. He factually stated that there were media reports saying that was the case. I know it's true, because I saw and read the reports myself in the initial hours after the incident. Stating a fact is not a "mistake." Unless one is a leftist, in which case it is.😄

  752.  @16bitmetal35  Oxford Dictionary: vi·sion /ˈviZHən/ noun [2nd sense:] 2. the ability to think about or plan the future with imagination or wisdom. "the organization had lost its vision and direction" ; a mental image of what the future will or could be like. "a vision of retirement" —————— There you go. Now you know more about this common English word. You're welcome.

  758. 1) I figured out why Singh's suit jackets fit him so badly, so strangely: he's wearing body armor. Makes sense, as his rhetoric and policies attract political violence to Canada. 2) [Inspired by The Princess Bride ]: You keep using that word, "Canadian." I do not think it means what you think it means.

  759. My dear woman, symptoms can't be "graphic"! A description of symptoms can be graphic. It always troubles me to see someone who writes and speaks English for a living making the kind of blunder which even a bright middle-schooler wouldn't.

So thanks.  I really should go elsewhere but more people are here than anywhere else. I should probably just watch here and then comment at other places in ways which make watching the video not a prerequisite, I guess. I appreciate the sickening avatar.👍😄

  772. No one applauding knew he was a Nazi, nor even that it was during WW II that he "fought for Ukrainian independence against the Russians" as the Speaker worded it. (He was invited by the Speaker personally. They live in the same town.) They clearly didn't know or they most certainly would not have applauded. They clearly assumed he fought for Ukrainian independence at some other time, either just before WW II or after. The whole thing flew past in 100 seconds.

  776. @Rocksteady-hl2ks Oh yes it did. It punished the Taliban for 20 years. It never had any illusions about what can be done in that country. It did what it had to do to prevent another 9/11 and it left at a time of its own choosing. So thanks for the Kremlin spokesman point of view, Dmitri, but the country that failed in Afghanistan was the Russian Empire (aka the Soviet Union). You don't remember that? Oh and btw, the Ukraine War is Afghanistan 2.0. Brace yourself for 1988-89 all over again, and perhaps 1991 as well.

Pan: "This is not who we are as Canad—" Nation: "As Canadians we're saying buh-bye." Pan: "The carbon tax puts money in Canadians' pock—" Nation: "Is it the buh you don't understand, or the bye? It's time for you to put on your little shiny slippers, throw open the window, and fly off into the night. And take Deputy Tinkerbell with you."

  784.  @Wookie911  Thanks for your reply but I can only guess you've got me mixed up with some other commenter. If not that, then you didn't understand one of my several posts. Which could be my fault, I don't know.

  786. For eight years now Prime Minister Peter Pan has been so busy condemning one thing or another every half-an-hour that he's had no time or energy left over to address Canada's real problems. He's the Condemner-In-Chief and he's totally exhausted. Look at the anguished yet blank, empty expression on his face. Tbh I think he needs counselling, therapy and maybe a bunch of medications.

  787. There's mass hysterical delusion going on. It happens everywhere once, in a long while at least. And we've got it here right now.   It doesn't come out of nowhere. People have to be steered into it by people of considerable social influence.

  791. I wonder if the record comes with an asterisk or two. The number of medals available to be won is higher than it used to be, this time 987. (Montreal in 1976, e.g.: 594.) Possibly Canada has previously won a larger fraction of the total up for grabs. Also, at the partly-boycotted 1980 Los Angeles games, Canada won 44 medals.

  800. Acolytes of Modi here overlook the flagrant fact that Putin is free to interpret those words as he likes. He will surely claim — with the plausibility which Modi's vagueness affords him — that Modi was insisting that it's time for Ukraine to negotiate a peace (meaning surrender.) Will Modi ever speak unequivocally?🤔

  801. They care about destroying the fabric of the entire West. And damaging other Western countries' regard for the US is part of that. That's why. I suggest watching interviews with the KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov. He explained it all marvellously well. (And in perfect English).

  804. Rooting the Nazis out of Holland in 1944-45 resulted in many Dutch civilian casualties too. But the people of the Netherlands did not consider them as "atrocities." In fact they greeted the Canadians and the British as the liberators they were, with flowers, tears and open arms. And they laud them with profound gratitude as heroes, to this very day! Response?🤨

  809. It was an accident, a very stupid and inept accident, wherein a man holding a respected office (Anthony Rota) blindsided everyone with his incompetent attempt to make a contribution to the event in the chamber where he presides.

And Elon Musk has not had a job since he was a student at Queen's.🙄 So many jobless, according to you!

(2) 1638– commemorate, v. To call to remembrance, or preserve in memory, by some solemnity or celebration. (3) 1766– commemorate, v. Said of things: To be a memorial or memento of; to preserve the remembrance of. Nothing in these definitions sanctions its use to describe the goings-on at NATO headquarters.

Not a single US soldier has died in Ukraine. I offer instead the analogy of the 1979-89 war by the Russian Empire on Afghanistan. Eventually Moscow "got sick of" spending its men and materiel ineffectually against the ragtag Mujahideen. And who funded the Mujahideen? The US. The Ukraine War is the 1979-89 Afghanistan War 2.0, Misha.
