Trump threatens to commit war crimes unless Iran capitulates. In case you still thought there might be a good guy in this war.
“Trump threatens to destroy Iran's civilian infrastructure if a deal is not reached 'shortly'”
Someone just pointed out that Lewis isn’t exactly the accessible type the working class trusts. Hopefully he can figure it out.
With Avi Lewis occupying the Eat the Rich policy space, it could be quite a bit harder for Poilievre to be the champion of the little guy.
Thankfully enough Canadians did vote strategically or we’d have Poilievre as Prime Minister.
You might not feel as clean if that had happened.
Avi Lewis: "When Israel commits a genocide in Gaza, we call them out. When the US and Israel start an illegal and reprehensible war against Iran that sets the world on fire, we say Canada should have absolutely no role in it whatsoever."
How Iran is making a mint from Donald Trump’s war
“Iran may be getting pummelled on the battlefield, but it is winning the energy war. The Islamic Republic is now earning nearly twice as much from oil sales each day as it did before American and Israeli bombs started falling”

My ‘whole thing’ is based, as I said, on hyperbolic criticism of Carney that reminds me of the F&#k Trudeau stuff.
You asked for a bit more and I gave it, now you’re criticising that example instead of my premise.
If you haven’t seen those nutty posts too then maybe it’s just me.
Someone posted yesterday that warmonger Carney had infringed s.3 of the Charter by not living up to campaign promises, and a court could order a new election.
That’s who I’m talking about (quoted in my first post). We’ve all seen them. All vitriol and no nuance.
Not lunatic, but fringe certainly.
Not tiny at all.
What I think is interesting about that poll is 2/3s of NDP voters support Carney.
Not tiny x 2.
Russia helps Iran target USA assets - USA says nothing.
Canada tries to tax US tech giants on their Canadian revenue - USA loses its mind.
Headline from CityAM: “US ambassador: UK’s closer ties with EU are a problem”
Oh, piss off.
The vociferously anti-Carney folks (calling him a warmonger, etc.) have the whiff of the f#&k-Trudeau folks before them, but from the other side of the political spectrum.
It seems personal.
I think some disappointed NDP sort of think of Carney as a pied piper who stole a bunch of their children.
Yes, I’m okay with promising 2 and going to 5.
You can’t believe the only thing
govt can do are the things they promise in their platform. We’d be going to election every time the world turned.
That’s silly, respectfully. I’m seeing nonsense about warmongering
and Charter infringement. Just silly.
Are you saying that a politician not satisfying a campaign promise would be an infringement of s.3 of the Charter, and the remedy the Supreme Court of Canada would grant would be to overturn the election?
I do think this is to build support for the military, recruitment as well as funding.
What is the actual biggest threat?
If Harper had spent money on the military instead of balancing the budget we wouldn’t be in as big of a pickle right now. Almost none of this spending will help the military until years from now, so we’d better get started.
He wasn’t hiding it. He was promising it.
“A massive hike in defence spending -
Carney has vowed to raise defence spending to 2% of Canada's GDP, which is the target for all countries in the Nato military alliance. Last year, it spent less than 1.4%.”
Fair enough!
You have to look pretty hard for a controversy. Canadians chose him to do precisely this, and more support him now.
I get how galling this must be for the Cons, who were already redecorating the PMO, and NDP who have fallen off the map. I hope the NDP can become relevant again as Canada needs them.
I don’t see a way out of this for the USA other than capitulation. It can’t control the coast without troops dying, likely a bridge too far, and Iran has no reason to settle. It already has achieved a greater reduction in sanctions than decades of diplomacy gave them.
Way to score on yourself, USA.
USA never was better than this. What has changed is its saying the quiet part out loud.
That’s pretty in the weeds. Sounds like you may be pretty close to this. I’m just coming at this as Joe Public, not wedded to a party.
I can see why a Con/NDP supporter would be looking to find fault with Carney though. I’m sure he will stumble, but right now no PM has been as popular 1 year in.
I read the article to say a blind trust is the current situation, and it’s not adequate because the politician still knows the broad strokes:
“So even if the prime minister doesn’t know its precise breakdown, any policy action that helps banks across the board could still benefit him personally.”
What is a Feast?
It’s obviously for recruiting. Convincing young Canadians the Forces are an exciting option.
It’s quite a conspiratorial stretch, one that I honestly didn’t think you were making, to say it’s Carney trying to keep us frightened. Nothing Carney has said or done supports such an accusation.
Where we are at is one year away from Trump liberating Alberta. This is an appropriate tone in my opinion.
So many songs I used to listen to are just creepy now.
‘Downtown Train’
Will I see you tonight?
On a downtown train
Every night, it's just the same
You leave me lonely
Now, I know your window, and I know it's late
I know your stairs and your doorway
I walk down your street and past your gate
This would be an interesting poll:
How many people with strong feelings about AI have ever used it?
