Largely patriotism. I live in a border town. Cross border shopping was the standard for many families, used to go every week or two. Minimum once a month. I haven’t been now since a bit before Trump was elected. I am definitely not going at the moment. When you decide to put my job at risk for...

This isn’t a bad thing for the Liberals. If anything it means they are cleaning out some of the trash from the previous LPC government. Carney isn’t just battling in parliament, trade, etc. he is also battling the LPC and trying to make it into something competent. That is a uphill battle but I...

I had to argue with a guy at work as to why we couldn’t make the subs in house. The general public has this mythos as to our countries capabilities and capacities which do not align with reality on many things (such as the state of our military and industry).

I’ll take it. That can always be reversed. Confiscation is permanent.

Likely only would grant it if your the white colour.

They also demand certain services from the wrong levels of government. My city has a indigenous coordinator and a environmental coordinator. Both positions shouldn’t exist in my opinion as they are Provincial/Federal responsibilities and have nothing to actually do with running a municipality...

Because annexing and driving people from their homes well starving them to death is doing so much for them. Remember when Israel shot those hostages who were trying to get back to Israeli lines waving a white flag? How many times has similar incidents played out for the Palestinians but is...

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8641wv0n4go The results speak for themselves, but it has been fairly obvious for a while that Israel is actively committing genocide. The question is will the world do anything about it?

The Royal Navy warned us not to do this. If history has proven anything to me, we do not listen nor care to. The LCIS, Sig OP, Lineman amalgamation is a other great example of this not working so well. Looks like that one has been undone at this point.

Alternatively people have more money to spend on goods as the cost of goods is now less. For example our housing market is about to go through a huge deflation. This is going to lead to homes being cheaper to buy, rent should drop in cost, and people should have more money to spend on other...

Not necessarily. The largest increase in prosperity in history was during the industrial revolution and it was a period of deflation (due to more efficient technology making things a lot quicker and a lot cheaper). I think the people at the top like to tell us deflation is horrible because it...

So basically what our Intimidation law already covers but is never used for.

He wanted to leave in 2020. Russia told him no. Right now he IS acting in the best interest of their survival as Russia likely won’t let him leave alive. Bit of a rock and a hard place.

I see you have chosen the Navy salute

I saw a theory which was that the reason Russia invaded had nothing to do with reclaiming territory, or Nato advancing, etc. Rather that the standard of living for Ukrainians was going up substantially faster than Russia as they were working though their corruption and opening their markets...

Just click bait. A .22 is supersonic. Generally you specifically have to make ammo with low enough pressures/speed to be subsonic (generally achieved by using a heavier than normal bullet with lower powder load). Saying the round is supersonic really doesn't say much as basically every rifle...

Declaring yourself sovereign and the monarch of a country no matter how wrong you are is sedition. Just the declaration that they are sovereign without a democratic process is a forcible government change even if they didn’t directly attack someone.

My favourite is their corruption is causing some to sell fake gas already. Depending on how large a problem that becomes we might see their warmachine die just from their own incompetence.

A big obstacle with the RCMP becoming our MPs is the fact they are not part of or subject to the Code of Service discipline. They are also civilians which means they cannot be forced to go to say a active warzone if they do not wish to (or alternatively can just quit on you if they decide they...
