Especially if the NDP forms the minority. A Liberal/NDP minority represents more than 50% of all voters.

Investing is supposed to be a risky venture. This is the risk.

If the US continues to destabilize, we’re fucked anyway. Any aid we can provide to Ukraine is going to be us allocating funds to buy American weapons that we then ship off to Ukraine.

How about nationalize our O&G, airline, and telecom?

The CRTC can go fuck itself.

China’s a leader in terms of actually hitting their emissions targets (they’re hitting peak oil earlier than expected, for example), but they aren’t able to use the natural gas crutch to drive down “emissions.”

Methane leaks absolutely destroy any GHGe advantage natural gas has in the short term, but it’s something that’s completely forgotten in emissions reporting. If you adjust for natural gas’ methane footprint, the GHGe reductions in the West start looking really depressing.

Canada got its key industries stripped away by the US (Boeing to Bombardier) and China (Huawei to Nortel). Now? All the jobs are fleeing South of the border and people are fleeing with it.

At least Huawei still employs a fuck ton of Canadian tech workers and is rapidly expanding. Huawei is footing the bill for a ton of big tech conferences in Canada. They’re sponsoring a bunch of projects for Canadian undergraduate engineering students. They’re hiring a sizable chunk of the graduates from Canadian universities in their focus areas and are happy to foot the bill for technical training. Frankly, Huawei is doing a better job of creating and keeping Canadian talent within Canada than most Canadian companies. They relinquished any IP control over research done in conjunction with Canadian universities.

Meanwhile, Microsoft uses it’s Canadian offices as visa waiting rooms before shipping them off to the US.

Russia is known to use spotters to confirm military targets before striking in civilian areas: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/6/29/ukraine-says-suspect-directed-russia-missile-attack-on-restaurant

That’s why Russia has disproportionately fewer civilian casualties relative to military ones.

The ICC is toothless.

Yes, because a targeted strike at clearly marked journalists on foreign soil is basically a stray bullet anyway.

Tell me you don’t have a degree without telling me you don’t have a degree

The casualty ratios are way off. Try again.

My modlog hasn’t banned anyone lmao go bark up another tree

India, the country best known for being notoriously corrupt to the point where it’s very noticeably hindering progress?

Numbers don’t lie.

Neither Ukraine nor Russia come even close to as bloodthirsty for civilian lives as Israel. Israel is killing civilians and killing Hamas fighters as collateral damage. Ukraine and Russia are killing each other’s soldiers and killing civilians as collateral damage. They’re not the same.

Israel is worse than Russia. Russia, in contrast, looks downright reasonable.

In a few weeks, Israel has killed almost as many civilians as those that have died on both sides over the course of almost two years of the Russia-Ukraine war.

Ads are a core component of how search makes money. They’re also a core component of how YouTube makes money.

Ranked higher than a country where many believe there to only be one valid party and that if the other party gains power that the entire democratic system will collapse and bring Armageddon?

That’s who you’re comparing against?

It’s also just often completely inaccurate. The standards it uses to cite works make them pretty much useless: any good information on Wikipedia is on there by accident.
