“Judaism overwhelmingly supports Zionism”

Wtf does that even mean. It’s like writing that Christianity supports Marxism. Religion supports political ideology. Doesn’t even compute as a sentence.

His constituents need to have this blasted 24/7 at the next election.

We get the obligation to adopt the euro and we sign up to the European stability and growth pact. Both are economic straightjakets that we just don’t need.

These guys are behaving like imperial Proconsuls, rather than ambassadors.

Let’s call this what it is: foreign interference with press freedom in Canada.

Edit: For context https://lemmy.ca/post/60363517

We should be concerned for the safety of our fellow Canadians of Muslim faith and/or Palestinian ethnic origin that hundreds of battle hardened zionists might be returning to Canada after having participated in committing genocide abroad. The Maple is doing the right thing blowing the whistle but they have only covered a small number of potential criminals.

Get rid of OSAP altogether. Make university free and fully taxpayer funded and introduce negative income tax for students.

If AI is going to be arbitrarily deleting a bunch of fields, the concept of “in-demand jobs” is pointless. “Basket weaving” type classes might sound silly to stupid conservatives today but might be exactly what makes an AI-based economy tick in a couple of years (eg., a linguistics and philosophy degree might be exactly what you need if you need to be able to effectively set up and debug an AI agent).

Not to mention of course that the point of a university education is not “jobs”, it is to have an educated citizenry that is the bedrock of any kind of democracy. Conservatives have never understood the point of education in the first place. Fuck 'em.

I just find the whole drama hilarious.

That’s a cutie pie.

They didn’t even know who the kid was.

Apparently I’m a Catholic priest in upstate New York that was accused of murder.

Molon labe.

What’s he going to do, impose tarrifs?

For young ones and new Canadians: FYI Petro-Canada was founded as a crown corporation and operated as such until 1991.

That’s not what I wrote.

If you don’t understand why we shouldn’t let Trump and his posse bully anyone they like in the western hemisphere, you’re more like CanadaMinus

Um, no they don’t.

Sure. But let’s also acknowledge something crucial here: the government ended up resorting to illegal tactics for convoy removal because of a systemic failure by various levels of government to coordinate and apply regular laws (cf. Rouleau commission report). A less sympathetic/more cynical reading of the situation is one that can very well argue that the complete set of failures was because the police and the province were in fact politically sympathetic to the maple MAGAs who were imagining a Jan 6 type far right insurrection. The maple MAGAs of the convoy were very much skirting the edges of the Paradox of Tolerance, and thus acting decisively to end their convoy before the converged/crystallized to an insurrection was appropriate, from the point of view of the Paradox of Tolerance.

The fact that this kind of precedent is used as a hammer to also hit legitimate nonviolent and disobedient movements (e.g., indigenous blockades, university encampments), is hardly surprising, but also not causally attributable to it. These movements have always faced asymmetric policing! In other words: even without the illegal precedent, the trampling of student movements would still be happening, because the police and governments are hostile politically to the students in ways they were not to the maple MAGAs. To flip the argument around: the Rouleau commission found that the existing legal frameworks were adequate, i.e., they still are…

Impeach and remove your dictator. Then we talk.

Let’s not keep you.

What a devious plotter! He made Russia invade his country so that he could become a dictator. Genius!
